BLAINE INVESTIGATIONS

Brenda stood outside the office of Vance Blaine one of the best private eyes in Atlas Falls. If not the best he had found out that Steven and Carla were still seeing each other. It took a lot of time to get here but today he said he had news on her daughter. She wore a navy blue and gold knee-length dress with a cardigan over it. The chill of fall was starting to set in and the Indian summer was winding down. It wasn’t cold but it also wasn’t hot anymore. Slowly fluffing her hair she saw Walter’s driver pulled up and she took a deep breath. Today was the first day of the rest of her life. As she saw him getting out of the car she tightens her grip on her Michael Kors purse. She was going to talk to him about what was in store for them after they got a location on their daughter. No longer willing to wait if they didn’t get to moving now then when? He was afraid to lose his family but one thing for certain they were going along with their lives without them. When he approached her she could feel the anxiety of years getting to her. She immediately grabbed a hold of Walter and just held him. “I’m so sorry, that you are going through this. It’s all my fault, I was stupid and opened up my mouth.”

Brenda said seeing him warming up to her after she said that. “No excuse but if you ever need me, please tell me and I’ll be with you. I don’t care about the past anymore Walter because after today I’m looking to my future. My future with you and our daughter. I know that I’ve done some stupid things but giving up our daughter, our child. That might have been the most foolish thing I have ever done. I never told you about her birth, I was with Lowell but how feverish I was. I thought I was going to die but she came out screaming and fighting. That child had us in her because she was fighting and every time she left my arms. I could hear the loud cries she wanted me. Walter, I did it because your marriage was falling apart and mine was also. A baby to solidify my affair and betrayal I couldn’t. Lowell words about Lauren and you well they echoed in my mind. I hate Jackie and Lowell but they did help me during that time. I was depressed and not having her has placed a hole in my heart for a long time. My relationship with Brooke has been tainted because I expect so much from her. I can hear that song the nun sang to her to soothe her in my head. I’ve lived with this for years and as horrible as what I did to her and you were. I know you know that you get it. You might never say it out loud but you understand that our lives couldn’t take that hit back then but now. Now we are ready to be her parents and I know you aren’t sure if we should interrupt her life. I am sure that she is my child and she deserves to know me and you. Don’t Dani and Braden deserve to have her just as my three do?”

Walter had agreed to meet with the PI to find out what he had discovered about their daughter it had been weeks and money, it was time for answers in his mind. He had yet to forgive her for what had happened with their daughter taking her away from him without so much even a word to him about it, not even letting him know she was still pregnant. He was still angry with Lowell as well but he knew, for now, he had to put that hate aside if for anyone his grandchildren there was no turning back now with that. He could either accept that Lowell would be a part of his life or he could lose them and his only living daughter, he chose the latter when it came to that decision. He walked to Brenda and hugged her briefly even though he was now divorced and alone, the timing felt off to run to Brenda’s arms it would throw salt on a still throbbing wound especially to Dani and Braden. He wasn’t even sure why Brenda thought of them half the time did she expect them to welcome her as a part of his future with open arms. He shook the thought off for the time being that could be a bridge they crossed when they got there, for now, he wanted to know about his other daughter. As they entered the man’s office he listened to the story of her birth and hated every moment of it he had been denied it.

“He’ll tell us what we need, we’ll find her and then I don’t know what we will do Brenda. You have not even told Brooke or Hunter.” Walter said looking at her, the story was endearing of course it was he had seen the births of his other three children and to know he was robbed of that with his child with Brenda due to her and Lowell stung. He wanted to mention that for his children it would leave a mark especially so close to Vicky’s death that was coming up and he could already hear the snide remarks once his daughter with Brenda was found from Dani in his head. “I wish I had been there but I wasn’t now as I? None of this means that I’ve fully forgiven you for ripping her out of my life Brenda. I can’t fight with Lowell anymore due to the twins and I don’t want to fight with you but I had a right to know.” He finally managed to get out as they made their way inside and the man’s secretary let them inside the office where they sat on the leather chairs waiting as he looked at the clock and then saw the door open and who he assumed was Vance Blaine enter.

“I hope I haven’t kept you waiting that long Mr. Fraiser and Mrs. Kincaid,” Vance said walking into the office as he held the file that he had found on their daughter. He’d taken their money and ran a complete case on their daughter that Brenda had given up for adoption. He only hoped that the couple was ready to begin and learn what he had found out. “Where would you like me to start?” He asked looking at Brenda as he took a seat behind the desk.

ST. CHRISTOPHER’S

Lowell tucked in his shirt and felt like the latest rounds of tests and blood work would slow down the disease. After being alone with David he felt like his ALS was taking over. How couldn’t he his days were numbered and it felt like more and more he was growing restless with life. He could feel his soul slipping away from his body and it wasn’t as if he had no chance of stopping the illness. It was cruel to deny him a  chance to fight back. He cursed his body secretly because why couldn’t he have cancer? It was morbid to question that but this illness and disease will take him out and all he worked for would never be seen. Honestly, his mind had been on Linus deeply because of their last fight. He protected his baby brother and also kept him away from DGI America. His sins had followed him even though Linus promised he’d stop. He wondered how his mother and father would feel about their sons? It was a legit question and since time was precious he’d soon find out and that brought a chill up his spine. Walking to a water pitcher he poured him a glass of water in a crystal glass. The coldness calmed the heat on the back of his neck. Sin and secrets the two things you couldn’t hide for long. It made him feel foolish for some of the things he did.

Tonight he was reaching out to Simon to help him do his last will and testament and he’d also explain what was going on and pick his successor. Simon would be the only one who knew and that would be a secret to hold but it was what he was paid to do. Hold their secrets and protect them and this would be one of the times he desperately needed him. Walking out of the office he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Two nurses and David were trying to stop her but she looked even more ravishing than when he met her in Europe again. He was in London on business with Linus and this was what he found. Tess a grown woman and not only that but a radically stunning one. Even today when she didn’t have her signature long blonde hair and it was now a short chic cut she was striking. The feelings he still had for her were wrong and he knew it. It was horrible to love two women but they didn’t know the Tess he did. She wasn’t always so hard, so evil, and so hurt. He did that to her and he knew when a woman was scorn or fed up it was nothing you could do about it. Somehow Jackie and he had never gotten to that point and it was her grace. This Zerick lie had painted them through a dark lense and he wouldn’t wonder why she was standing by him now.

Tess saw Lowell walking out looking frail and she couldn’t help but wonder why he was in the hospital so much. She was worried, to be honest, and hadn’t even told Pierre or Forbes what her suspicion was because the thrill of something honestly being wrong with him would be legit. She might want nothing but his health to be fine. No longer willing to wait. Tess arrived at the hospital after Bliss made an offhand remark about Lowell’s appointment. Wearing a couture women’s business suit by Chanel and a Balenciaga hat with a veil covering half of her face. Standing with leather red gloves she broke free from the nurses grasps and looked at him. “We will speak immediately. We have children also Lowell shall you not forget I’m the mother of your kids also.” Tess said purposely speaking in plurals so maybe he’d catch a hint. She’d hidden Belle from the right people but Dimitri was in town, along with Pierre, and Forbes knowing the truth. That wasn’t something she wanted to get to him before she could tell him. “We need to speak immediately Lowell and I won’t take no for an answer!”

Walking to him she strutted like Gisele Bundchen knowing how much he used to love her walk. He used to say she could walk into any room and demand attention with her walk. Exhaling she touched Lowell’s face and turned to the nurses and David. “Go! We have something to discuss and I told you I’m just as important as Jackie. From now on listen to me.” Lowell let her through as she walked into the private room which was stunning. Of course, he would have a luxury private room that didn’t surprise her. She sat down on the plush leather couch and crossed her legs. “Tea please, and I don’t you think I deserve to know what is going on? You’ve lost at least twenty pounds. You look fragile and Bliss is crying about you and how she didn’t have enough time. She hung up on me after that. What the hell is going on Lowell Devonshire and don’t give me I’m not Jackie or the wife shit. I spent over thirty years as your mistress and lover. No excuses.”

FRAISER PUB

The limo pulled up to The Fraiser Pub and Jackson looked over at Dani grinning widely. He was in a fitted blue Tom Ford suit with a pink and blue Cavalli tie. Leaning down he kissed Dani belly as he rubbed her cheek. “He little guy and little girl today you are going to meet all of mommy and daddy’s friends and family. This is your first big party and I think you should both be celebrated every damn day you are with us. So I got mommy something really special today. To match her beautiful engagement ring.” Jackson looked up with a wide box that housed a stunning pale blue and pink diamond necklace. He would indulge her because right now this was a celebration. He was declaring his claim on DGI today and it was starting here when he secured the contracts with Atticus for Ilsa De Cruces. To revolutionize that Island and turn it into an entirely clean energy paradise would show DGI new direction. Atticus would be here and Dani knew his plan. He was going to secure this right now and sort of ambush him during business. Not only that but having Natasha in play meant he could also offer 75% to 25% percent ratio. Meaning over a third of Ilsa De Cruces would be clean energy while the last one fourth would be provided by SandStar. Tonight was about celebration and he would celebrate when he presented this to Atticus and he agreed.

“I got this for you and I have this.” Holding up his watch which housed the same pink and blue diamonds. “Today we begin baby girl and I know one thing you look ravishing. When you drop those babies honey I promise the things I’m going to do to you. The sexual pleasure and torture you’re going to endure.” He slipped his hand in her dress seeing she was wet. The sex between them was still fucking wonderful pregnant or not but Jackson wasn’t going to do any kinky things until after the babies were born. He’d tease her biting her nipples and slightly choking her but he wouldn’t do anything dramatic because he knew the wait would be worth it. The toys and pleasure he was going to give her after the doctor gave the okay. Slowly kissing her neck. “We better stop because we are here. I could go around the block a few times though if you don’t mind.” He teased sensually as he kissed her lips softly. Pulling his hands out of her wetness he licked his fingers clean. “You taste delicious.”

Dani had let Val design her dress for the shower and she could truly say that she had outdone herself she always thought it was silly to overpay for clothing. The pink chiffon was perfect with the blue silk woven into the knee length dress and was perfect for the end of summer. She was also looking forward to tonight doting on the twins and celebrating them coming hopefully sooner rather than later. She knew that a lot was riding on tonight Jackson was going to present their plans to Atticus for the clean energy first real test Isla Del Cruces was the first and best place to try it and then they could bring it to the states starting with the Scottswood district in Atlas Falls. They had people working around the clock on the new solar panels that were being kept under lock and key at DGI. SandStar had provided the sand for the silicone, DGI was providing the charging the coils in Atlas Falls. They still had to pick a location for the plant to build the panels but had agreed that could wait till after the twins came and she could travel more. She looked at the necklace it was so beautiful and gorgeous and it matched his watch perfectly.

“It’s gorgeous thank you. I’m so excited for tonight everything is perfect so far.” She said looking at him as she took the box from him and leaned back in the seat when he leaned in and spoke of other things to her. She wouldn’t lie the sex was off the charts still but she missed all the other things they used to do and she knew he did too. They’d agreed when he came back certain things weren’t practical with her body and the pregnancy so they could wait. She felt his hand going along her thighs and couldn’t help the gasp that came out when his fingers slithered into her and her hand went to his pants to stroke him in return. “We have to go inside people are waiting. The things I want you to do to me at the moment.” She managed to get out when he pulled their lips apart and watched him licking her off his hand, even though she desperately wanted him to finish what he had started.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

The funeral was covered with wall to wall factions of mobsters. Thor was almost shocked to see so many big influential people were here. Vladimir Stavridis was standing speaking with Kelly O’Connor, and Mavis Escobar was standing over speaking with other influential people. The cartel was in the building. The flow through New York was stagnant due to one person Don Falcone refused to let Madden push drugs through the city. He held a hate for father but oddly they had been invited to the old man funeral. That made him suspicious until this moment it was a goodwill gesture all around due to The Cartel stop selling to Don Falcone. It was a lot of bad blood but Gia was said to be in charge now. So her arrival as the signal of true change between the Falcone and Madden families. Thor nodded at them all with a stern glance at Vladimir who always gave him the creeps. He looked evil and that glare was so cold. It was something almost not human about that guy. Rumor had it about ten years ago he went to war with the O’Connors and it ended at the beginning of the cartel being formed. He tried to take over Cape Kenitrich from Kelly and it ended with him leaving and taking over the midwest. The truce has been lucrative for them by forming a cartel of enemies. During the infamous east coast vs west coast rap feud, it was escalated by his father going against The Bay’s very own Mavis Escobar. This blood feud died when his father did during Ronan’s courting by Kelly they brokered peace between them and Ronan became the east coast connect. It was history in the underworld.

Thor looked over at his brother and his breath was taken back. Damn nobody told them, Don Falcone, daughter looked like something out of an art portrait. She was stunning and just standing there with a veil that fell to the floor, along with a leather dress with a train longer than the veil. It was no doubt from Italy because the leather corset was impeccably made. He looked over at Ronan and wondered what he thought. She was something to look at because both of them were taken back. Thor had heard her beauty had gotten her the head of the Genovese faction her beauty caught them all off guard because she turned out to be a black widow. Thor was captivated but also cautious because plenty of men dicks had gotten them murdered. It was every day they were in the presence of a modern-day siren. He looked at Ronan and he knew what he was thinking. “Down doggy,” Thor said shaking his head.

Gia purposely ignored the two Madden heirs as they entered the funeral. Watching them pay their respects to the who’s who of mobsters in the United States and all over the world. Her father was beloved by many and hated by few. The room was hazy from cigar smoke her father’s favorite cigars from Cuba. Slowly making her rounds she saw people she hadn’t been around since she was a girl. Old hit men and others were the still in the game. Gun runners, drug dealers, and powerful politicians even sat at this funeral. Her father legitimized his business in the eyes of many. It was her grooming for the life of violence that got her ready to take over. She was now in many eyes one of the most powerful women in New York City. Manhattan was her playground but she wasn’t here for Manhattan she was here for the entire east coast. One man stood between her and that, Ronan Madden. Looking at him in person he was much more handsome than his pictures along with baby half-brother. Turning her body around she slowly slithering toward the Madden brothers. Approaching them she extended her hand which was wrapped in wrist length lace gloves and diamonds.

“Good evening welcome to the service.” Gia shook Thor hand as she leaned in to kiss both of his cheeks. Then turning to Mr. Madden her eyes locked in through the lace that covered her face. Her crimson lips painted glossily. “Mr. Madden I would like to speak with you alone. I know your brother is here. How about we all go have a drink in my office.” Basically saying that she knew he didn’t trust leaving Thor here with her men surrounding him. She sensually slinked toward the back never walking too fast or slow so neither men touched her gown or veil. Walking to her desk she pulled back the chair. Her eyes narrowed softly as she smiled at them. Carmine poured them all Manhattans drinks. “My father was a powerful man. I’m an even more powerful woman and our family history shouldn’t and if I have my way shall not stop us from making money. Money from Canada that the Genovese family has control of.”

ST. CHRISTOPHER’S

Bliss opened her eyes as she looked up seeing Max being held by Sebastian. She was thankful that Sebastian was here for Max. It seemed she was taking father being in a coma the hardest. She had faith that her strong father would be alright. It wasn’t a secret her father was beginning to look gaunt. He seemed fragile since his return from Europe and Jackie was silent about it. She knew something because David Rhodes was always speaking with her instead of the entire family. One week their father was in a medical coma to ensure he was alright. That somehow made her more fearful. Leaning her head up from Hunter’s shoulder she felt her stomach tightening as Chauncey walked in. He would arrive when all of them were gone to visit due to everyone hating him right now. He was planning on taking over the company none of them had forgotten. His greed made her sick but she also saw a true human in him. He protected her against Dimitri and that was something she hadn’t forgotten. Lacing her fingers inside of his hand. All they knew was Lowell was coming out of his coma today. The strangest feeling was that soon they’d know if Zerick was their brother and what was going on with their father.

Standing up she walked to Chauncey and touched his shoulder. “It’s good to see you here.” The glare that Jackson was giving him made her scared about what was about to happen. “Look we all thought about what could happen if we were CEO. Chauncey, you had someone in your head pushing you but it doesn’t stop the fact that you actually did go after our company. You pushed and manipulated but we are family. No matter what and I haven’t forgotten what happened at the party.” It seemed everyone ears perked up she saw Jackie looking at her. “Dimitri cornered me in Chauncey’s office. He was threatening me and tried to choke me.” She saw Hunter face and knew he was pissed she kept this from him. “But my big brother stepped up and protected me from Dimitri. He was going to kill him if he had to stop the abuse. So what I’m saying is I know Chauncey messed up but he loves us all.”

Jackson listened to Bliss cutting for Chauncey and felt immediately sad for his sister. Some psychopathic prince was stalking her. That wasn’t something that he wanted for his sister and she was sweet. Over the summer Bliss had come to see him along with Hunter. It was a good trip where he honest got to know Bliss. She seemed way more at peace than she was when she first arrived. Unlike there other possible siblings who was claiming to every media outlet that he was a Devonshire. Not only that the son of a bitch did an entire spread in the Chronicles with Cassie. Everyone was speculating on if their father raped his wife sister now. It was out and DGI was facing a financial crisis. The Chronicles also featured Chauncey major betrayal that too had sent the stock down. Either way, no matter if Chauncey protected her from Dimitri, he absolutely betrayed the family. If he had his way he’d never be involved with DGI again. He’d never be able to betray them again. He felt Dani’s hand on his back rubbing it softly as he shook his head. Jackson could feel the bile rising inside of his stomach because of his fury with his brother.

“Bliss I’m sorry about Dimitri but I have to say Rory and I would have done the same thing. We would have tried to kill that son of a bitch if he came after you. We will stop that from happening, understand that but this doesn’t excuse his behavior. This doesn’t pardon him because he was working with that bitch Greer. He was being manipulated again by a woman who clearly had ulterior motives and he couldn’t see that because he was greedy. He wanted DGI for himself and eventually was going to push us all out. Greer wouldn’t have wanted us there would she Chauncey? Hell, do you want us apart of our father’s legacy? It took Talia and Simon to expose this shit for you to even know that woman was playing you like a violin. Did you think what this would do to your siblings hell your parents? No, you didn’t because as always it’s all about you.”

Bliss lowered her head as she looked at them. “Rory? Max? Can you tell them to stop God our father is in that room in a coma? My son is asking about his papa and I know Maddie is freaked out. Guys we’ve been attacked since last year but we don’t need to attack each other. I used to dream of you four. I used to wonder what you were like and I just want us to be a family.”
