Chapter 14

Lilly glanced over at the four gigantic cruise ships docked in the Cozumel port as Jack maneuvered the speed boat into their slip at the marina. Every emotion imaginable roiled within her. She was excited and apprehensive as she looked at the Caribbean Breeze. Next week that city of steel floating around the Caribbean Sea would belong to her family. So would another one just like it, the Caribbean Dream. She always loved a new family investment and this one would be more fun than another manufacturing facility.

There would also be more financial risk. One little thing, like the false Ebola scare last February, could create so much bad press that would negatively affect the entire industry. If something catastrophic happened on their ship, it could damage, or even destroy, their new company, American Caribbean Cruise Line.

Docked beside their next purchase was an even larger ship with a navy blue hull that was owned by one of the most expensive international cruise lines in the world. He-who-she-didn’t-have-time-to-waste-thinking-about would have one of the largest staterooms aboard that ship. The honeymoon suite, for the newlyweds.

Lilly’s thoughts wandered to her honeymoon. After her huge, beautiful wedding, they had taken a month-long trip through Europe, spending an entire week at her friend’s villa on the Italian coast. In retrospect, it had been his suggestion that they stay with several people she knew, making it relatively inexpensive. The man was such a user, and abuser, of relationships.

Disappointment—in him, and herself, the dissolution of her marriage and the family life she’d always expected to have—fought with good memories of the birth of her boys. The joy they’d brought her as toddlers discovering the world around them. They were growing up so fast. And at this very moment they were on the other side of the island attending their father’s wedding.

Her boys were facing so many changes, meeting a half-brother and sister, siblings they’d never even seen before today. She should have questioned her ex, made him explain to the boys that they had half-siblings, something. Here she was, a highly respected attorney, one who could take whatever another lawyer dished out and she’d throw him a hardball right back. Yet, in private, she let that asshole rule her life as though she’d been a mindless child.

Why in God’s name did I let him get away with that shit! She had to talk with Greyson and Preston about their feelings concerning the wedding when they returned, make sure they were okay.

As she and her whole family walked the short distance to the joint offices of the Caribbean Excursion Consortium and the American Caribbean Cruise Line, Jack slung an arm around her shoulder. “The boys will be just fine. How much damage can Dr. Dickhead do in a few hours?”

“I know, and Betsy is there to look out for them. She knows her son is an ass, and she truly loves her grandchildren.” Lilly still worried about her kids. She always would. “Thanks for offering to pick them up in the boat.
