Chapter 180
Gracie’s POV:
50
Over two months have passed since I first moved into House Christiansen’s estate and since Kai has woke up.
Since then, there has been so many things that happened.
Tyler finally told Londyn how he felt over Sunday dinner during the family weekend. I could still
remember the look on Aunt Mina’s face as she scolded Parys.
“So…you mean to tell me even your sister has found someone!! At this rate we’ll be marrying off Brooklyn before you!!”
“Ow!! Mom!! Stop hitting me!!”
We all laughed hysterically as Aunt Mina continued to pop Parys upside his head.
Luckily I was able to introduce him to my best friend Joellie.
That Monday after the family weekend, I called her to update her on everything that transpired following the week I visited my mother’s grave. I can still hear her squealing.
“WHAT!!!!! Are you joking???? Wait!!! So, you’re telling me…you’re marrying THE Kai Christiansen!!! AND he’s recovered from his coma!!!! WHAT!!!!”
It took me over five minutes to get a word in to catch her up on everything. Afterwards, Marla
invited her to the estate.
“We’d love to have her come visit! Any friend of yours is a friend of ours!”
I remember her looking at me with those adoring motherly eyes causing my heart to swell.
“Plus! I’m sure she’s going to want to be in the wedding! We can get her fittings completed while she’s
here!.”
Kayla and Grandmom–Roana beamed as they whipped out the wedding book. Preparations for the wedding began immediately. Kai wanted to get married September 22, a week after the birthday
party.

Chapter 180
The day she came over, Londyn and Parys had just showed up. Londyn was coming to help with the wedding and Parys came over to help Kai. Because no one accept immediate family knew of his recovery, he had Parys helping with the company to take some of the load off of Cameron. Kai was
the President of HC–Tech.
HC–Tech was a global Techware company and a largest bulk of House Christiansen’s income.
Everything from military software to computers, phones, tablets, House Christiansen designed the
software as well as the electronics.

Theo took over as CEO after his father retired and Kai took over as President. After graduating, Parys
began working for the company training to become VP.
The day he met Joellie; we were all looking at wedding videos to get ideas about the setup. Marla
had a wedding planner coming the next day, so we decided to look at some videos for inspiration.
Joey was gushing over a floral design when Parys walked into the room to give Londyn a booklet.
“Oh, hey Parys! Let me introduce you to my best friend Joellie!”
Joey stood up and extended her hand for a shake; a bright smile on her face.
“Just Joey. Everybody calls me Joey.”
Parys stared at Joellie for a brief moment before speaking. In his defense, my best friend has a dazzling smile.
“I–It’s nice to meet me…I mean you! It’s nice to meet you!….I’m…ummm”
“Oh, dear lord!!! Just embarrassing me!! Joey….this is my brother Parys. I promise he’s more articulate
than this.”
Kayla and I laughed hysterically, it was so adorable! From that moment on, Parys and Joey were glued at the hip. Mina nearly thanked me a million times for helping her son finally find love. She
instanly fell in love with Joey.
“I’ll have none of that Ma’am junk! It’s mom from now on!”
Mina beamed as she hugged Joey.
After the family weekend, Kai told me about the meeting he and the guys had with Zelma. I couldn’t believe it.

I wasn’t sure what stunned me the most, her being a mole for Kai…or the revelation that my mother wanted me dead.
Kai updated me on everything he, Tyler and Cameron learned so far. Apparently there was a man
named Benard Thorton that the Rochesters used to handle all of their dirty work….including killing infants.
