    <b><i>Gracie’s </i></b><b><i>POV</i></b><b>: </b>


    50


    Over two months have passed since I first moved into House Christiansen’s estate and since Kai has woke up.


    Since then, there has been so many things that happened.


    Tyler finally told Londyn how he felt over Sunday dinner during the family weekend. I could still


    remember the look on Aunt Mina’s face as she scolded Parys.


    “<i>So</i>…<i>you </i>mean <i>to </i><i>tell </i>me <i>even your </i><i>sister </i><i>has </i><i>found </i><i>someone</i><i>!! </i><i>At </i><i>this </i><i>rate </i><i>we’ll </i><i>be </i><i>marrying </i>off <i>Brooklyn </i><i>before </i><i>you</i>!!”


    “<i>Ow</i><i>!! </i><i>Mom</i><i>!! </i><i>Stop </i><i>hitting </i><i>me</i><i>!!</i>”


    We allughed hysterically as Aunt Mina continued to pop Parys upside his head.


    Luckily I was able to introduce him to my best friend Joellie.


    That Monday after the family weekend, I called her to update her on everything that transpired following the week I visited my mother’s grave. I can still hear her squealing. <fn3ba2> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find{n}ovel</fn3ba2>


    “<i>WHAT</i><i>!!!!! </i><i>Are </i><i>you </i><i>joking</i><i>???? </i><i>Wait</i><i>!!! </i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>you’re </i><i>telling </i><i>me</i><i>…</i><i>you’re </i><i>marrying THE </i><i>Kai </i><i>Christiansen</i><i>!!! </i>AND <i>he’s </i><i>recovered </i><i>from </i><i>his </i><ia</i><i>!!!! </i><i>WHAT</i>!!!!<i>” </i>


    It took me over five minutes to get a word in to catch her up on everything. Afterwards, Ma


    invited her to the estate.


    “<i>We’d </i><i>love to </i><i>have </i><i>her </i><ie </i><i>visit</i><i>! </i><i>Any friend </i><i>of </i><i>yours </i>is <i>a </i><i>friend </i>of <i>ours</i>!”


    I remember her looking at me with those adoring motherly eyes causing my heart to swell.


    <i>“Plus</i>! I’m <i>sure </i><i>she’s </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>want </i>to <i>be </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>wedding</i><i>! </i><i>We </i><i>can </i><i>get </i><i>her </i><i>fittings </i><ipleted </i><i>while </i><i>she’s </i>


    <i>here</i>!.<i>” </i>


    Ka and Grandmom–Roana beamed as they whipped out the wedding book. Preparations for the wedding began immediately. Kai wanted to get married September 22, a week after the birthday


    party.


    <b>11:16 </b>Thu, <b>Sep </b><b>11 </b>


    The day she came over, Londyn and Parys had just showed up. Londyn wasing to help with the wedding and Parys came over to help Kai. Because no one ept immediate family knew of his recovery, he had Parys helping with thepany to take some of the load off of Cameron. Kai was


    the President of HC–Tech.


    HC–Tech was a global Techwarepany and argest bulk of House Christiansen’s ie.


    Everything from military software toputers, phones, tablets, House Christiansen designed the


    software as well as the electronics.

    Theo took over as CEO after his father retired and Kai took over as President. After graduating, Parys


    began working for thepany training to be VP.


    The day he met Joellie; we were all looking at wedding videos to get ideas about the setup. Ma


    had a wedding nnering the next day, so we decided to look at some videos for inspiration.


    Joey was gushing over a floral design when Parys walked into the room to give Londyn a booklet.


    “Oh<b>, </b><i>hey </i><i>Parys</i><i>! </i><i>Let </i><i>me </i><i>introduce </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>my </i><i>best </i><i>friend </i><i>Joellie</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Joey stood up and extended her hand for a shake; a bright smile on her face.


    <i>“</i><i>Just </i><i>Joey</i><i>. </i><i>Everybody </i><i>calls </i><i>me Joey</i><i>.</i>”


    Parys stared at Joellie for a brief moment before speaking. In his defense, my best friend has a dazzling smile.


    “<i>I</i>–It’s <i>nice </i><i>to </i><i>meet me</i><i>…</i><i>I </i><i>mean </i><i>you</i><i>! </i><i>It’s </i><i>nice </i>to <i>meet </i><i>you</i><i>!</i><i>….</i>I’m…ummm<i>” </i>


    “Oh, <i>dear </i><i>lord</i><i>!!! </i><i>Just </i><i>embarrassing </i><i>me</i><i>!! </i><i>Joey</i>….<i>this </i><i>is </i><i>my </i><i>brother </i><i>Parys</i>. <i>I </i><i>promise </i><i>he’s </i><i>more </i><i>articte </i>


    <i>than </i><i>this</i><i>.</i>”


    Ka and Iughed hysterically, it was so adorable! From that moment on, Parys and Joey were glued at the hip. Mina nearly thanked me a million times for helping her son finally find love. She


    instanly fell in love with Joey.


    <i>“</i><i>I’ll </i><i>have </i><i>none of </i><i>that </i><i>Ma’am </i><i>junk</i><i>! </i>It’s mom <i>from </i><i>now </i><i>on</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Mina beamed as she hugged Joey.


    After the family weekend, Kai told me about the meeting he and the guys had with Zelma. I couldn’t believe it.

    I wasn’t sure what stunned me the most, her being a mole for Kai…or the revtion that my mother wanted me dead.


    Kai updated me on everything he, Tyler and Cameron learned so far. Apparently there was a man


    named Benard Thorton that the Rochesters used to handle all of their dirty work….including killing infants.
