“I bet if we can find it, you’ll get all your memories back, mum.”
Callum smiled.
“We should look for it, and then go there.”
“It might help.”
Vincent smiled at her.
“No more amnesia Jokes if you get your memory back.”
He told her with a grin.
“Now boys, where’s the fun going to be if not for that, you love teasing me about it,”
she teased them, and they both laughed.
“I also doubt I own it anymore. There was a massive pay??ut to my bank account before I lost my memory, so it’s likely I sold that house when I moved away,”
she commented, and they just nodded but looked at the house once more.
She had not shown them any of her and Calvin at the time; She was actually still debating with herself over it. But she’d let the boys go online and see if they could find the house with the Google search. The name of the house had been there in one of the photos
“Cliffside Manor’, a plaque read by the driveway entrance at the gates.
Nothing had come up at all, and she saw the boys both be disappointed and Marilyn wondered if Calvin had, had it removed from searches, like he had himself for the most part. Maybe all those women used it as part of the trap to try and snare him too, so he shut it all down.
The boys were disappointed that they couldn’t find it and she half smiled at them, ruffled their hair and stated
“If I recall where it is, I’ll let you both know, and I’ll take you there one day. If I can get permission from the owner, of course,”
she’d told them, and they’d just nodded.
But this new turn of events, Wil wanting a proper photo of them, she knew she was going to have to tell them. By the time that next meeting arrived, there would only be three months left on the restraining order, and she knew without a doubt Wil was going to be opposed to her having it reinstated. So far, Calvin had also left her alone; it had been two months since that incident and there was nothing from him
Maybe he was going to just stay away from her like their agreement stated. She thought about that, the agreement. It was legal and binding, and she could in fact hold him to it regardless of who he was to her previously. He had agreed to stay away from her for good, let her return to her home and her own life, in order for her to drop the charges. That had been her condition, and he’d agreed to it.
Technically, if he turned up here at her house or even in that meeting in a few weeks, he was going to be breaching their contract, and she could reinstate the charges against him. She didn’t think Wil or Calvin,
Reeves would want that, but she might just need to do it in order to keep him away. Even if he found out about the children, If Wil told him. It would still breach the contract.
It wasn’t something she liked to think about though. That man and all his aggression, she had no idea how he would react, knowing who she was or that she’d born him children. Wil was his friend, and although he had thought about how to handle Calvin coming into this knowledge and his reaction to it, that did not mean that was how Calvin would react to the news.
She had a feeling that Liam and his wife were likely going to be right, that it was just going to set off his obsession again. She didn’t know how to deal with it, or how it would affect the boys either, if he came here as a Marrin obsessed man. Could he contain himself in front of the boys or not? Or would Calvin show up and be just like he had been in Houston and scare the boys as much as she had been that first day, and then the day she’d fallen down the stairs.
They might want to know who their dad was, but if he wasn’t what they were expecting, it could be detrimental to them. As their mother, she had to protect them from dangers and harm both physically and emotionally. It was a lot to think about for her, because it was just a what??f game really, because it hadn’t happened, and she didn’t know what was going to happen. She couldn’t predict that man because she didn’t know him.
A part of her deep down was curious about him, but another part of her was fearful, and there was a part of her that just wanted to up and move once more, vanish away into the night like she had done back then. So he couldn’t find her or the boys and her life could be back to what it was, quiet and peaceful with no fear of anything.
Though even that was doubtful, she knew she’d always have a fear of him finding her. Wil would tell him everything if she just up and left and that obsessed man she thought would hunt for her. She didn’t even know if she could hide herself and the boys away from him, now that Wil knew who she was. Wil could also be looking for her to do as she’d once done, change her name and move away.
Not something she particularly wanted to do. She liked her life here in Virginia, liked her house and the property she’d bought and renovated. Had the perfect writing office and even room for Lisa to stay for several days at a time for the editing process. So no, she wasn’t about to way or change anything just because of Calvin Reeves, not at this point in time, she would just take a breath and try not to play the what??f game
Calvin
Calvin looked up from his desk where he was working at the sound of his name and smiled at his sister, Veronica, as she strolled into his office trailing her two children, his niece Bligh, who was 12, and his nephew Brighton, who was 10. Neither of them were wearing their school uniform, and he could only guess it was a non??chool day for them.
“Now, what do I own the pleasure of my little sister visiting my office?”
It wasn’t normal for any of his family to come here to see him at his office, they would all usually just drop by his penthouse or asked him to come to them.
“The family vacation is coming up, and mum sent me to talk to you about it.”
Veronica stated
“This lot are on a pupil free day. So, where I go, they go today.”
She motioned to her children.
He nodded and stood up, then waved them to the couch and handed them to remote for the TV that dropped down from the ceiling when he pushed a button. Calvin smiled down at them, they were good kids, and he ruffled his nephew’s hair, and chuckled when Brighton tried to dodge him and his impossibly long arms, which he failed to get out of the way of
“You’ll never get out of the way,”
he smiled down at him and the frown on the boys’ face,
“put on whatever you want.”
He told them.
“Where are you going this year?”
Calvin asked Vernoica as he returned to his desk, to sit down, and she sat across from him, on the other side of his desk, away from the noise of the TV.
“It’s not just Dane, the kids and I this year; all of us are scheduled for a family vacation as per your wants. Mum said I should come and remind you, that you might have forgotten about it, with all that’s gone on over the past few weeks.”
She looked at him pointedly.
“Hmm, honestly I had.”
He admitted, and he did have much more pressing things to attend to in his life at the moment, than a vacation.
“When are we expected to go?”
he asked.
