I wake up feeling like I’ve swallowed sandpaper. I shouldn’t have gotten so drunk last night. It was not the way to handle things, and definitely not the way to react to my fucked up family dynamic. I never wanted Elle to see me like that; I honestly felt like I was back to being the lost little boy Sylvia had left on the foster home doorstep all those years ago. As soon as I saw her ice blue eyes, I knew that she was definitely my Sylvia, the one woman whom I’d never been able to find.

I shake my head, feeling my anger returning. I don’t want to think about that now. I want to know where my beautiful Elle has disappeared to.

Just as I start to sit up against the headboard, she walks into the room, bearing two glasses of water and some pain killers. God, I love this woman. She looks concerned, though. Her brows are furrowed, and her lips are pursed.

“Darlin’, get your butt over here and tell me what’s wrong.”

“We’ll talk about it later. How are you feeling?” she asks, over-enthusiastically.

“Come here, baby, and tell me what’s up. I know something’s up because you’re bouncing,” I say with a grin.

I watch the swing of her hips as she rounds the bed and places the glasses on the bedside cabinet. Then she crawls over me, placing herself on top of my legs, elbows on my chest, her gorgeous face propped up in her hands just staring at me.

“Uncle Harry was arrested last night,” she says deadpan. I swear you could’ve heard a pin drop with the silence that followed.

“Say that again?” I ask, not quite believing what I just heard.

“I got woken up by my cell phone ringing. It was some reporter wanting a comment about Uncle Harry being arrested for embezzlement.”

Fuck! How did I not know about this?

“Shit, hon. Are you okay?” I ask, wrapping my arms around her shoulders.

“I’m in shock, but I’m okay. He can’t hurt me if he’s in jail, can he?” she replies with a shrug. “I’ve told Lawrence that I want the CFO to step in as acting CEO in my absence because it’s the last thing I want to do right now. I don’t wanna walk into a shit storm.”

I look for any sign of panic from her, and I’m surprised when I see none. “Is that what you want?”

“We need someone at the top now, and I’m not ready for that.”

“Sounds like Lawrence is good to have around,” I add.

Resting her head on my chest, she adds, “He’s a god send, that’s for sure.”

“That’s good,” I say as I run my hands through her sleep mussed hair.

“How are you doing? With seeing Sylvia again?” She lifts her head slightly to look at me. I know I can’t get out of this talk.

“Well, you saw how I dealt with it last night. I can’t believe she was standing in front of me again. I was in the same room as my birth mother.
