I told all of my workers, “There’s good news!”

I moved in front of them and told them, “The Emerson Brothers are having a party. It’s a funeral for their mother, who died.”

One of the workers said, “That’s great news, boss. We can attack that day and no one would notice,” and I shook my head.

“No, dummy, we’re not attacking,” I said, and everyone in the room fell silent.

I put my hand on the table and said, “We’re going after someone who has a lot of eyes on her. You can’t just show up at the party and take her. We need a plan! A great plan.”

One of them said, and I smiled, “Don’t you think we should make a scene boss? One that would distract people and even the Emerson Brothers?”

I told him, “That’s why you’re still my best employee. You’re a genius.” He smiled.

“That’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to set up a scene, but it won’t involve the woman because she’s the one we want.”

“So we need them to stay away from her and not be attracted to her, so we can do something at the party, like start a fight.”

“Not a fight against them. The fight would be between us. While they (the Emerson Brothers) are trying to settle the fight, one of us would grab the child, and that would be it.”

“You keep up the act until we are far away, and then you stop all the nonsense. Then you all leave the party and come here,” I said, pointing to the picture on the laptop.

I said, “Our warehouse,” and they all agreed.

I told them, “This is our only chance! We can’t mess this up!” and they all agreed.

They all yelled, “I get it!” and I smiled widely.

I said, “Good. It’s in three days. We need to give it our all. We can’t fail now, or the Emerson Brothers will come after us and kill us all.”

They told me, “It’s done, boss,” and I smiled.

I told them, “That’s all for now. If there are any more changes, we’ll have another meeting,” and they all left.

She asked, “Don’t you think this is too much?”

I told her, “This is the only way, but don’t worry, she won’t get hurt.” She nodded and sighed.

**** AGNES P. O. V ****

Ryan and I put the food on plates and started serving it. He looked like he was free, but I knew he still didn’t know how he felt.

But that’s enough for now. Even if it hurts him, I will make him remember everything.

I don’t like how cold he is. The one who can’t want my lips as much as he always did.

He walked up to me and said, “Hey.” I looked at him. He suddenly put his hand on the side of my lips and wiped something off. I don’t even know what it was.

He told me, “You were on to something there,” and I smiled.

I said, “Thank you, Friend,” and I saw him wrinkle his brows. Then he smiled, and I smiled back while I continued to set the table.

He said, “I’ll get the drinks,” and I smiled and nodded.

Jason stood in the corner the whole time and watched how I dealt with the problem. Then, with his arms folded, he turned around.

“Did you see how confused he looked when I called him Friend?” I asked him. He smiled.

“I saw it, and that shows you that his humanity is at its highest. We just need to push in harder. Remember, he remembers that he loved you, but he can’t really feel anything again,” he said, and I nodded.

“I know I should make him want me and be jealous of me,” I told him, and he nodded.

I told her, “You’re good to go,” and she smiled and nodded.

I asked, “How is our baby’s mother?” and he laughed.

He said, “She is resting,” and then he sighed again.

I told him, “I know you’re thinking about what Ryan said,” and he pulled one of the chairs back and sat down on it.

“It’s true, Agnes. Everything he said is true. He didn’t lie about anything. Melina isn’t safe here while she’s carrying that baby,” he said, and I let out a breath.

I asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”

“I’m taking her far away from here, where she’ll be safe,” he said, and I nodded.

I asked him, “Have you talked to her about it?” He shook his head no.

“Not yet. I don’t know how to tell her. You know how stubborn Gracie is,” he said, making me smile.

“In a romantic way. She doesn’t want to leave your side. She wants to be here for you. I envy Melina’s love for you,” she said, and I smiled.

Ryan brought the drinks back and put them on the table.

“I’ll tell her myself, and I’ll get everything ready,” he said, and I smiled and nodded.

We both looked at Ryan, who was just sitting on the chair and staring at us both.

He looked at us and asked, “What are you two talking about?”

Jason told Ryan, “I’m taking Melina away from here, away from all of this. I can’t let our baby be born into a life like this.” Ryan smiled.

He said, “That’s so smart of you, brother. I knew you’d listen to me in the end.” I smiled.

“Just because you’re not human doesn’t mean you’re stupid. You’re still very smart, which is why I fell in love with you. It’s too bad you don’t think our love is worth fighting for.”

“But I promise you I’ll bring you back,” I said, bending down and looking right into his eyes while he just stared at me.

I kissed Ryan on the lips and told him, “I’ll bring Melina to lunch.” Then I walked away. As I walked, I could feel his eyes on me.

If he is being too hard to get, I will do anything, even if it means hurting him, to get him back.

When I got to Jason’s room, I saw that the door was cracked open just a bit. I looked in through the hole and saw Melina sleeping in a very calm way.

I went into the room and closed the door behind me. I went to her bed and sat next to her on it.

“Hey,” I said softly as I ruffled her hair, and she slowly opened her eyes. She batted her eyelashes a few times before finally opening her eye.

“Agnes,” she said with a smile.

“I’m sorry to wake up your sweet mommy, but you and the baby need to eat,” I said with a smile, and she sat up.

She yawned and said, “Thank you, Agnes.” I laughed.

“Look how tired and weak you are getting,” I told her. “Don’t worry, I’ll be here with you if you need anything.” She nodded and took my hand.

She said, “My baby will be so happy to have you as a godmother,” which made me laugh.

I asked her, “Do you want me to be the baby’s godmother?” and she nodded. I was happy to hug her.

“If you’re next to me, I’ll be the happiest mom in the world,” she said, and I smiled big.

I told her, “I’ll be there, and so will Ryan, Harrison, and Jason. We’ll all be there for you.” She smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.

She asked, “And how is Ryan?” and I sighed.

“That’s for another time. You need to eat now,” I told her as I stood up and held out my hand. After she got it, we both left the room and went to the living room.

Jason said, “Hey,” as soon as he saw me. He pulled the seat back and stood up so that I could sit down.

She said, “Jason, come on, I’m not a baby,” and I laughed.

“But you’re carrying a baby,” I told her when she finally sat down. She smiled at Ryan, and he smiled back, but didn’t say anything.

She said, “Wow, this looks really good,” as I started giving her her own portion.

Ryan said, “Yes, it does, and I bet it tastes the same,” and Melina smiled and looked at me.

Jason said, “Let’s start eating,” and we all picked up our forks and knives.

– – – – – – –

Jason started to talk while we were still eating. And I already knew what he was going to say.

“Melina, I thought about what Ryan said, and I realized he was right. If you stay here with our baby, you won’t be safe,” he said.

She asked, “So, what do we do?”

He said, “We need to send you away, somewhere where my enemies can’t find you.”

“So you just want them to run away or give up?” she asked Jason. “Haven’t I told you I’ll be there for you no matter what?”

He told Melina, “I know you want to be here, but please don’t. It’s for the baby and your health. You’ll come back when he’s born.”

“Gracie, please listen to him. You don’t want your baby to go into a dangerous world,” I told her. She sighed.

She told us, “I’ll be here until after the funeral,” and we agreed.

“Deal,” we said as a group.
