“Burn those who burned me!”
<b>Chapter </b><b>152 </b>
Just then, Cameron walked into the parlor.
“On <i>behalf </i>of House Christiansen, we appreciate <i>you </i><i>all </i>for your silence on this matter as House Chris is not ready to release the status of <i>Heir </i><i>Christiansen </i><i>yet</i>.<i>” </i>
Cameron spoke with authority as he addressed the crowd.
“As a thank you, House <i>Chris </i>would like to <i>give </i><i>everyone </i>here ten thousand dors as a token of appreciation for your silence.”
The crowd all gasped and cheered, as Cameron continued, I noticed the doors had two guards staying in front of it to make sure no other people could enter. <fnb08b> ?????? ???? FindN0vel</fnb08b>
As the crowd formed a line to retrieve their payment, Cameron pulled out some documents from his
briefcase.
<i>“</i><i>If </i><i>everyone </i><i>could </i><i>please </i><i>sign </i><i>these NDA’s</i>, <i>your </i><i>check </i><i>is </i><i>now </i><i>ready </i><i>to </i>cash<i>.</i><i>” </i>
Each of the customers signed NDAS and picked up their ten thousand dor checks. I stood in amazement as Kai and Cameron remained cool and under control of the entire situation.
Kai looked down at me with an apologetic expression.
<i>“</i>I’m <i>sorry </i><i>about </i><i>this</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>
I smiled back.
<i>“</i>It’s <i>okay</i><i>. </i><i>A </i>lot <i>of </i><i>people </i><i>were </i><i>sadden </i><i>when </i><i>they </i><i>heard </i><i>the news </i><i>about </i><i>your </i><i>ident</i>. <i>Everyone </i>is <i>going </i>to <i>be </i><i>thrilled </i><i>to </i><i>learn </i>of <i>your </i><i>recovery</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Kai smiled warmly at me as we ced our order for our ice cream. We each ordered the vani cone with sprinkles. We sat inside the parlor with Cameron and his two bodyguards and enjoyed our treat. Afterwards, we made our way back to the hospital.
After saying our goodbyes to Cameron, we made our way back to Kai’s suite. When we arrived, the family was still discussing our wedding, but in a much calmer tone.
<i>“</i><i>Alright</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>about </i><i>covers </i><i>the </i><i>basics</i>. <i>We’ll </i><i>hire </i><i>a </i><i>wedding </i><i>nner </i><i>to </i><i>begin </i><i>making </i><i>the </i><i>preparations</i>.”
Ma looked pleased as she closed her tablet. As we closed the door, everyone looked up at us with warm smiles.
<i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>where’d </i><i>you </i>two <i>run </i><i>off </i><i>to</i><b><i>?</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>
3:30 <b>pm </b>
Ka gave us a mischievous smile.
“None of your business.”
Kai answered throwing a small pillow at his sister.
As we allughed, Ma stood up.
“Why don’t we <i>give </i><i>Kai </i>and <i>Gracie </i>some time alone.”
She smiled at Kai as she directed everyone to leave. Teddy stood up and stretched, “Absolutely, let’s give these two some time to themselves. Besides, we have a wee home party to n!”
Roana smiled joyously.
<i>“</i><i>Yes </i><i>indeed</i><i>!,</i>”
Suddenly, Ma and Theo looked at me with a conflicted expression.
<i>“</i><i>Gracie</i><i>, </i>correct <i>me </i><i>if </i>I’m <i>wrong but </i><i>isn’t </i><i>your </i><i>birthday </i><iing </i><i>up</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Ma looked at me with a passive expression. Suddenly, everyone turned in my direction.
“<i>OMG</i><i>! </i><i>Gracie! When </i><i>is your </i><i>birthday</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
I blushed slightly; in all honesty I’d almost forgotten that day wasing up.
“Um<i>, </i><i>it’s </i><i>July </i><i>7th</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>What</i><i>! </i><i>Mom</i><i>! </i><i>Why </i><i>didn’t </i><i>you </i><i>say </i><i>something </i><i>sooner</i><i>! </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>n </i><i>a </i><i>birthday </i><i>party</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Ka began to scramble through her phone; just then, Kai spoke up.
<i>“</i><i>Actually</i><i>, </i><i>if </i><i>Gracie is </i><i>okay </i><i>with </i><i>it</i><i>…</i><i>I’d like </i><i>to </i><i>wait </i>to <i>throw </i><i>her </i><i>a </i><i>birthday </i><i>party</i><i>.” </i>
I looked at Kai with a puzzled expression, why did it look like he had something nned?
“<i>Well </i><i>how </i><i>long</i><b><i>??</i></b><i>” </i>
Ka pouted as she stared at her brother. Kai looked at me again and smiled slightly.
<i>“</i><i>Three </i><i>months</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i>THREE <i>MONTHS</i><i>!!!</i>”
Ka and the grandparents all eximed, while Ma and Theo stared at their son. I wasn’t sure if they

knew what his n was, but they seemed to know he had something brewing.
Kai turned about face towards me.
“Gracie, <i>I </i>promise to exin <i>everything </i>to <i>you </i>in <i>detail </i><i>so </i><i>that </i>this <i>will </i><i>all </i><i>make </i>sense, <i>but </i><i>I’d </i>like to ask you <i>if </i>I can n a birthday g for you in <i>exactly </i><i>three </i>months.”
I wasn’t sure what Kai’s n was, but I trusted himpletely. With a slight smile, I nodded my head in agreement. Kai smiled warmly and kissed the back of my left hand.
<i>“</i><i>Thank </i>you for trusting me <i>my </i><i>love</i>.”
