Chapter 65

Avery

I wanted to be mad at him but couldn’t, I knew everything he did was to protect us.

“It’s fine. I’m not really angry at you. I’m just angry that you spent so much money”, I said.

“It’s just money baby”. I said, I saw Leila running into the kitchen.

“Jake, mom. She just called someone is there with her, she started screaming, and the call ended” she said panicking.

“Go”, I said looking at him. He left with her; I heard him calling for Teo. Esther, Irene and Rachel came into the kitchen and sat down with me.

“Avery, I don’t mean to sound rude or anything but something about those two women makes me feel uneasy”, Irene said.

“I know, but lets keep that between the four of us for now and see what happens”, I said

I spent the morning online studying. I know Irene and the others would take care of Amelia. When I came out of Jake’s office around one, I stopped short. Leila and Renauta were sitting in the living room with Two suitcases beside them.

Renauta Had Black and blue marks on her face. I walked over to them, “Are you okay? have you been to the doctor”? I asked her.

“Yes, I’m okay. We just returned from the doctor”, she said trying to smile and suddenly I felt a chill run down my spine.

“Okay” I said, I saw Jake walking into the house, he came over and kissed me.

“Shouldn’t you be at work”? I asked him

“Not really, Shawn’s taking care of it today. Where is she”?

“With Irene, I just left your office, classes just ended”

“Okay. Renauta and Leila will stay with us for a few days until we get this entire situation sorted”, he said . wait he wanted them to stay here? why not over at my house? I didn’t say anything,

“Okay”, I replied.

I saw Landon Running in. “Landon what happened”?

“Umm, Boss Can I leave for a few hours, it’s really important”. He said he was panicking. I stood up and looked at him. “Landon What happened”? I asked again.

“Umm, Andrea had an accident, she’s being rushed to the hospital”, he said

“Where’s Cassy”? I asked him ,

“I... I don’t know, I think she’s with Andrea But I Can't be sure…”, he said

“Sherry?”, I yelled, I saw her running out from the kitchen,

“Yes Mrs. Woods”?

“Teo will take you, follow Landon to the hospital, Andrea had an accident. Go with Teo and bring Cassy back to the house”, I said

“Okay”, she said walking over to Landon and leading him out. Irene came out of the kitchen with Amelia. Jake took her from Irene.

“Irene, Jake’s mother and sister will be staying with us for a while, please show them to the guest rooms”, I said taking a seat. I saw the look Irene gave me and smiled.

“Of course. Please follow me”. Irene said leading them up the stairs. I couldn’t help but be worried about Andrea and Cassy. We were all sitting in the living room, Jake was busy playing with his daughter, Leila and Renauta were talking about something. It was close to Three When Rachel walked in with Cassy in her arms. When she saw me, she started crying.

“Pretty lady mommy got hurt”, she said through tears. I took her from Rachel and sat down with her.

“It’s okay sweetie, Mommy’s going to be okay”, I said rubbing her back. I knew she was on the spectrum but not fully, so I had to be gentle with her.

“It’s okay Cassy, daddy is with mommy as soon as mommy is better, I’ll take you to see her okay”, I said, she nodded but stopped, “Handsome man will mommy be better”, she asked looking at Jake. He came over to her with Amelia in his hands.

“Yes, she will, then you’ll be able to make more cookies for me”, he said smiling at her, she smiled at him. She looked at Amelia in his hands.

“Baby is pretty”, she said smiling.

“Do you want to touch her”? he asked her, and she shook her head vehemently.

“No baby will hurt, Cassy is too small, when Cassy older”, she said looking at Jake, he started Laughing, “Okay when you’re older”, he said, and she smiled. He handed Amelia to me and Cassy Got off my Lap and Sat next to me on the couch looking at Her.

“I’m going to the hospital, I’ll let you know how everything is”. He said kissing my forehead. After he left, we sat there, Rachel brough a snack for Cassy, she sat quietly and ate and played with her dolls.

“Who is she”? Leila Asked.

“She is Landon’s daughter”, I said

“The security Guard”? Renauta Asked

“He is more than a security Detail. All our employees are considered as family”, I said making it clear that they shouldn’t say or try anything with anyone. She smiled in a weird way.

“Oh okay. I can take care of Amelia while you take care of her”, Leila said standing up.

“NO, NO, NO. DON’T TOUCH BABY”, Cassy said shaking her head looking at Leila, she was getting agitated. “It’s okay Cassy. No one will touch baby, okay only Irene”, I said looking at her and she nodded. She knew Irene, Esther and sherry well.

“It’s fine Leila. I can Manage. Cassy is a very well-behaved child". After an hour inside, I headed out back to the garden. I don’t know how Irene made it, but she was blowing bubbles for Cassy, and she was running after them. I had the strangest feeling of being watched, when I looked up, I saw Leila standing by the room window looking at us, the minute she realized I saw her she moved. I didn’t want to be hasty and judge them, but I didn’t like the way they looked at me. We were still there when Jake walked out to the garden. He came over and sat down next to me looking at Cassy.

“What happened? is Andrea Okay”? “Yes, her feet are broken, she has a dislocated Shoulder and some cuts and bruises, she hit her head but there’s no serious damage. Garret has been discharged from the hospital. How do you feel about letting him and Andrea stay over at your place along with Cassy”, he asked quietly

“That isn’t even a question you should ask Jake”, I said looking at him, he ran his hands over his face, something happened at that hospital.

“I’ve always known Landon to be calm, levelheaded and precise. I know Landon and Andrea have been together for a very long time, but he was truly losing his shit at the hospital. The minute Sherry Left with Cassy, he went nuts and I realized he still loves her the same way”.

“They’ll be okay. I’ll take sherry and Esther over and prepare the house for them”.

“Thank you, baby girl. Have I told you I love you Today”?

“No, you haven’t”,

“Okay, I’m sorry. I love you princess”.

“I love you too. I’ll Take Irene and Cassy over with Amelia. Jake Renauta and Leila what happened”? He sighed loudly.

“Debt Collectors, apparently her husband knows where they are and to get the men off his back, he gave the men their address to recover the money”.

“Okay, you will take care of that”. I said quietly, what were the chances that she just found her son, then her husband finds her and wants money. The DNA test proved they are related to each other, but Jake doesn’t bear any resemblance to Leila or Renauta, what was going on here. Jake wouldn’t lie to me, right? I felt him touch me.

“What are you thinking so hard about”? he asked, “It’s nothing, I’ll head over to the house, I said giving him a quick kiss and standing up, when I looked up sure enough Lelia was standing at the window. I needed to find out exactly what was really happening, first my father and cousin were almost Killed. The same person-tired running Jake off the road thinking it was me; Andrea had had an accident and now these two. I couldn’t go running around Terrendale, I had a child to take care of now so I guess Landon and Teo would be it.
