 If you don t want anything to do with him, then why would you fight for custody? Emily asked the
horrible woman.
 You took our son from us, now we will take yours from you, the woman said in explanation.
Mark was stunned by the hatred coming from the woman who used to be Emily s mother-in-law. He
didn t know someone could be that cruel and evil. He d never been tempted to hit a woman in his life
but had to fight like hell not to slap her.
 You won t come near my son. You never wanted him and you won t use him as some pawn in a
game I don t want to play, Emily said, with the full force of a mother s protectiveness in her voice.
 You stupid little girl, you can t beat us, the woman spat.
 You try and take my son and you ll see how I beat you, Emily said, deliberately misinterpreting her
meaning.
 We re taking Trevor tonight. Where is he? the woman said and started moving towards the wedding
reception area.
 Over my dead body, Mark told the woman, stepping in front of her.
She sneered at Mark and then stumbled backwards, as he was flanked on either side by his brothers.
The three of them standing there made an intimidating sight.
 Security, escort this couple off my grounds. If they fight you in any way call the sheriff. He s a
personal friend and will be here in minutes, Mark added as he glared at the hateful woman.
 Fine we will go for now but enjoy your pretend family, because come Monday morning, the boy will
be ours, she said, before turning around and stomping away. Her husband followed meekly behind
and the security guards followed behind them both, making sure they really did leave.
 Emily I m so sorry that happened, Mark said to her, as he pulled her shaking body into his arms.
 No Mark I m the one who is sorry. You shouldn t have to be involved in this, she said on a sob.
 You didn t deserve any of the things she said to you. Don t let her have power over you by affecting
you in any way at all, he said as he clasped her chin in his gentle hands.
Emily looked into his eyes and realized he was right. If she broke down then she was giving a small
victory to the woman. She refused to do that.
 Do you want to leave? he asked her.
 No, you are right; I m not going to let her ruin my wedding day. If you ll give me a few minutes to
freshen up, I would like to dance some more, she said to him with a brave smile.
 Anything you want, he answered her.
Emily walked into the house and began attending her smeared make up. As she stared at herself in the
mirror, she was surprised by the look of determination in her own eyes. You re stronger than you
thought, she mumbled to herself. She placed a smile on her face and then walked out to enjoy the rest
of her wedding night with the new family she was so lucky to have become a part of.
 I m sorry your honeymoon is being postponed, Mark said to her, as they flew down to California in
the luxury jet.
 Oh, Mark there s no way I could enjoy a honeymoon with this stuff hanging over our heads.
 Well still, it s not right.
 I don t need some fancy honeymoon, or this big diamond on my finger. I just need to know Trevor s
safe and you re in my bed each night, she said sincerely.
 Woman, you are a gift from the heavens, he whispered to her before kissing her with his usual
passion. They were interrupted by the perky Lana as she brought them their lunch.
 I know this is petty and mean but I m not comforted by the fact you ll travel at times without me and
be alone with that woman. She s far too pretty and nice, Emily said with a slight pout.
Mark threw his head back and laughed out loud.  I have to say I enjoy this jealous side of you, he
teased her.
Emily glared at her new husband. He wasn t going to enjoy it when she poked him in the eye with her
fork, she thought.
 I m sorry for laughing but Lana is perfectly harmless. She s very happily married to the pilot in front
so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Do you really think Amy and Jessica would allow
their husbands to travel the world with a single lady?
Emily didn t know why she hadn t asked the girls if Lana was single. The topic had just never come
up in their whirlwind trip.
They reached their destination far more quickly than Emily had expected and were driven to an
attorney s office. They had a scheduled meeting with the Jackson s before the hearing the next day.
Mark said he thought he could get them to drop the case.
She was praying Mark was correct and the whole mess could be left behind them. She wanted nothing
more than to have a worry free and normal life. She was a little afraid though, after the danger went
away Mark wouldn t feel the marriage was necessary.
They d only been married a few days and it would destroy her if he asked her to get an annulment.
She was strong though and could make it through anything, as long as she had her son with her.
They walked into the fancy attorney s office, holding hands, showing a united front. She was shaking
on the inside but to anyone looking at them, she looked confident and at ease. She was thankful no one
could see the pounding of her heart.
 Just breathe, Mark whispered to her as they neared the conference room.
 I m trying.
They were led into a huge room with a square table surrounded by chairs. There were two extremely
well dressed men sitting at one end, otherwise the room was empty.
Mark led her over to the chairs next to the men and sat down. A woman came in bringing coffee and
tea. There were several baked goods sitting out as well but there was no way Emily would be able to
get anything down her throat. She was barely even able to sip the coffee and did so more to occupy
her hands than for any other reason.
 Thank you for arriving early Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. We have the papers all drawn up and the
investigators report. I think this meeting will go in your favor and you can put all this behind you and
get on with your lives, the older gentleman said.
Emily was a bit confused, as there hadn t been much time for Mark to fill her in on everything. He d
told her a private investigator had been hired to look into the Jacksons past and current lives but she
didn t know much beyond that.
Mark glanced through the papers and then sat back with a huge smile on his face.  You ve done your
usual amazing job Dillon, thank you, Mark said.
Emily looked at him questioningly but at that moment her ex in-laws stepped through the door with [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
