“Emily is with her mom,” Molly blurts out. “I didn’t know. I’m sorry.” Her eyes fill with tears. “I’m pregnant too!” The truths just pour from her like she can’t hold on to them anymore. Could Emily be pregnant? I push that thought from my mind. One thing at a time. I need to get my girl back.

“Pregnant,” Grace whispers. She doesn’t actually seem shocked.

“I was coming to tell you. Molly can’t get her on the phone. Interpol was picking Heidi up to bring her back to the States to face a slew of charges.”

“Emily is on a plane on her way back here now,” I inform them all.

“Oh, thank God,” Molly sighs. Tomas’s expression is unreadable. The man really can’t free himself of this parasite of a human he has for an ex-wife.

“She is going to try to use Emily so I won't press charges,” Asher says what I was also thinking. He runs his hand down his face, already knowing he doesn’t know what he’s going to do.

“She booked a private flight to take her to Hawaii. Little does she know her plane is coming here.” Asher’s brows lift in surprise. Her running days are over. I’m not doing this anymore. Emily is mine.

“Maybe she needs to go to Hawaii. Then she doesn’t have to deal with what her mother has done to her or you for that matter.” Molly’s tone has turned tart. The anger I’ve felt from her recently is coming through again.

“Then I’ll take her to Hawaii, but if one more person tries to get in the way of her and me, there is going to be a fucking problem.” Asher and Tomas hold up their hands in clear indication they aren’t going to step in the way. Molly, however, is still pissed.

“Oh, so your fiancée isn’t going to get in the way?” Molly hisses. Grace’s face pales. She opens her mouth and then closes it.

“She thinks I’m engaged?” I shout. That explains a whole lot. A few of the things she said run through my mind. Fuck me.

“It’s not a secret you’re promised to someone. Your own mom has been saying it. So I’ve heard,” Molly keeps going. Grace cringes but speaks up.

“She has been, but it’s how she keeps requests away from families that reach out about you dating their daughter, plus Rebecca believes it to be true. I’m sure it doesn’t help the rumors because she’s been planning some things as well for the engagement party and bridal party for you. Might be a wedding date picked too.” Of course, she has been planning. I want to kiss and choke my mother right now.
