Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

Our lips danced for what seemed like an eternity. Breathless, I slowly pulled away. Her eyes slowly opened. She looked at me with so much love and trust in her eyes. I wanted to earn every bit of her faith. I wanted her to know there would never be another person I loved more than her.

“Gracie…I-”

“We’re here sir.”

I was pulled out of my trance by the words of Cameron. It took me a minute to realize the car was no longer moving and the privacy window was now rolled down.

For the first since hiring him, I had a desire to fire Cameron.

Gracie sat up; I felt a pinch of sadness as she moved from my arms. As if she could read my mind, Gracie smiled and kissed me once more. In an instant, all my sadness evaporated. My head of security and main bodyguard Tomas Romane opened my door. I immediately stepped out of the car and made my way over to Gracie’s side. As my second bodyguard Court began to open her door, I held my hand up to stop him. I wanted to be the first to welcome her

home.

Gracie smiled brightly as she placed her hand into mine and stepped out of the car.

“Welcome home Gracie.”

She beamed brightly and pulled me closer to her face; making our foreheads touch.

“Welcome home Kai.”

She had no idea the affect she had on me. Just as I was about to pull her in for another kiss, my loud and annoying sister came running out the house.

“Yaayyyy!!!! They’re home!!!”

She ran over to us as the rest of the family and Tyler came storming out of the house.

“Welcome home!!!!”

My grandparents shouted in unison. My parents made their over way to hug me and Gracie.

“Welcome home my son.”

My mother hugged me tightly; I could feel her tears wet my cheek. I kissed her other cheek and hugged her once

more.

“Thank you mom, I’m glad to be home.”

My dad then walked over hugging me with tears in his eyes. You would have sworn I HADN’T just seen all of them yesterday. Still, I couldn’t imagine the heartbreak they must’ve felt all these months; so, I decided to let them have

this moment.

After hugging all of my family, Tyler walked towards me. He had a goofy grin on his face, but I could tell by his eyes…he was beyond elated at my being back home.

We shook hands before he pulled me into a tight embrace.

“Don’t ever scare me like that again brother. Next time I’m kicking your ass!”

I laughed at my best friend of over nine years. Despite his annoying and often juvenile behavior, I was glad he was my friend and that he was here.

“You got my word.”

We nodded at each other; an unspoken vow made. Just then, his eyes darted over to Gracie who was laughing with Kayla. He turned back to me raising his eyebrow.

“You know, for the longest time I thought she wasn’t real. Like you’d imagined her or something, but…yeah…I get it man. She’s breathtaking.”

Before I could respond, Tyler made his way over to Gracie.

“Ehte mm. Excuse my Kayla, I just want to introduce myself to this lovely angel.”

Shit. Dammit Tyler!

I quickly made my way over to Gracie.

“Ms. Gracie. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Tyler Green, Kai’s best friend.”

I rolled my eyes with severe annoyance; Gracie smiled warmly.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Tyler. Thank you for taking care of Kai these past ten years until I could find him.”

Gracie turned to me. Her eyes beamed with love and devotion, and just like that; all the annoyance I’d felt just a moment ago disappeared.
