Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 165

“Well, we’re all going to take the children to the aquarium. It’s been forever since Mina, and I have went.”

Uncle Michael beamed. House Christian owned the aquarium in South Bay; I was sure they’d prepared the night before.

“So, then that just leaves us fellas!”

Parys smiled in my direction. Originally, I’d assumed he and Dougle would go with the heads, I guess I would have to take them with us. I nodded at Parys.

“I actually have something planned for us to do.”

Tyler and Cameron nodded in agreement as he and Dougie looked curious.

After breakfast, everyone went to their rooms to get dressed and prepared to divide into their travel groups. Gracie decided to wear some dark pink wedge heel sandals to match her dress. She’d placed her in a ponytail. Her thick and wavy hair fell down her back even in the ponytail. She applied some light makeup as well as lip gloss that was also pink.

She looked beautiful. A slight unease crept into my thoughts. I wasn’t overly joyed about her being out of my sight. As of right now, no one knew she was the fiancé of Heir Christiansen. What if someone tried to hurt her. Noticing my mood change, she walked over and wrapped her arms around my waist.

“What’s wrong?”

I was too ashamed to tell her how ridiculous and childish my thoughts were. Smiling lightly, I pressed my forehead against

hers.

“I’m going to miss you.”

She smiled brightly at me.

“I’m going to miss you too.”

We stood in that moment for what seemed like an eternity. Embracing each other with our love. Suddenly, my phone pinged. Tyler sent me a message letting me know the meeting had been set up and Cameron let me know the helicopter was ready. I sighed lightly, once all of this was over, I would take Gracie away for a vacation. Just the two of us. No interruptions.

Everyone made their way out of the mansion to the different vehicles waiting for each group. I’d told Kayla to make sure Gracie stayed safe. She scolded me of course.

“Ughhh….will you stop being overprotective!! Of course I’m going to protect my sister! And besides, you have your bodyguard following us.”

Shit.

So, she did notice.

The truth was, everyone one of these women were important not just to me, but to our entire family. I needed to make sure they were all safe.

As we made our way to Tomas‘ SUV, Parys became excited.

“So! Where we going?”

As we all got into the car, I informed Tomas we were heading to my helicopter ‘Nightwing‘. Suddenly, Douglas became excited.

“Wait we’re taking Nightwing! Oh shit! I haven’t been on the chopper in forever!!”

“Where are we going???”

Both of my cousins beamed in excitement.

“We’re going to North Bay.”

“North Bay??? Why?”

“I need to interview someone.”

Parys‘ face fell.

“So, wait…you’re going to work?”

“No…I’m going to confirm the truth about the Rochesters.”

Both Tyler and Dougie looked at me confused.

“The Rochesters? Why do you care about them?”

Parys inquired waiting for my response.

“Because they’re my fiancé’s piece of shit family.”

I caught Parys and Douglas up on everything that transpired with Gracie. Each of them sat with a mixture of empathetic and disgusted looks on their faces.

“Oh, my god. That’s awful.”

Douglas whispered as he sat in shock.

“Those fucking bastards! How could they do that to their own daughter and sister! And who’s this Jonathan asshole!”

Parys was livid, hearing that someone apart of his family was mistreated pissed him off. I shared his sentiments.

“So, we’re meeting with your spies to get overall truth on what’s been happening?”

I nodded at Douglas question.

“Apart from what Tyler has already found out.”

As we arrived at the Nightwing, we all stepped out of the vehicle with a mission. Gather as much information as we could so that we could begin the next steps in my plan to destroy the Rochesters and Brooks.
