Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - Part 1

Lacey's POV

/ can't believe thie ie hannanins

~ IN

Why is this happening?

Why does all of this bullshit continue to happen to me and my family?

I'mean, it's Christmas for f***s sake, can't we get a break for the freaking holidays?

My brother said my name and I let out a breath as I ran a hand through my hair

"When was this posted?”

“This morning”

Justin said with a sigh

“It's been posted to numerous different news outlets”

“Does Logan know about this?"

“I don't know, princess, I haven't spoken to him yet"

/ bet he does

wonder if this was the big emergency my husband had to leave so early for this morning

Logan is like a stroppy child of a morning because he'd rather stay at home with me and our kids than go to work but he can't and if it

wasn't for me sending him on his way every morning then he probably wouldn't

leave

This morning was completely different though, Logan was like the

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P

road runner and couldn't get out of the house fast enough after receiving a phone call from Cade

“I need to call Logan"

Isay as I pull my phone out of my bag and call my husband who answered after a couple of rings

“Baby, this isn't the right time, I'm sorry”

"Why? is GiGi causing s**t again?”

I ask and the line falls silent for a few seconds

"What? how do you know about that, love?”

He asks and I roll my eyes

Why are my husband and my father acting so dense about the internet today?

“Because the internet exists, dumbass...and also, Justin told me"

"What? Justin? baby, when did you see Justin? he hasn't upset you, has he?"

"What? no...Ilook Logan, Justin just showed me what GiGi's done and I wanna know what's going on?"

Tasked him and I heard him sigh on the other end of the phone

"Where are you now, babe?"

Logan asks me and I look up at my brother before looking down at my bloodied and bruised hand

Sats

How am I gonna explain this to my husband and kids?

"Babe?"

“I'm erm..I'm at my parent's house”

"What? why?...actually, you know what, that's not important right now...can you come to my office, love? Abby's here with my lawyer and

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P. =? e talking about how to handle this GiGi situation”

“Yes babe, I can come”

"Ok love, I'l see you in a bit, I love you"

“Love you too, bye"

"Bye, babe”

Thang up the call and put my phone back in my bag as I hand Justin back his phone

“I've gotta go, I need to get to Logan's office”

“I'm coming with you"

“Oh no, you're not...Justin"

I shouted for my brother who was walking towards his vehicle

“Justin, you're not coming with me"

“Oh yes I am, little sister, I promised you that we were gonna make things right with you and it starts now with GiGi"

Justin says as he gets in his car and starts it up

“peers asshole”

I mutter under my breath as I get in my car

1 put on my seatbelt and start up my car before following my brother off the property

The drive to Logan's offices was tense for me because GiGi's latest stunt could potentially ruin Logan's reputation if it's not nipped in the

bud right away

My heart was racing, my hands were sweaty and my mind was running with a million different thoughts from how I can stop GiGi from

being a vindictive b***h to whether or not I should go and hunt her down and hurt her like I did my ex

In the end, I decided to just go and see my husband because it's bad

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P. =2 enough that I could potentially have one case of GBH or ABH against me if Dylan decides to press

charges, I don't need two

Iarrived at Black Enterprises and parked my car in the parking spot Logan has had specially assigned for me for when I come to visit him

I got out of my car and locked it just as my brother came over to me and grabbed my hand

“Come on, Lace"

"You know I'm a big girl, right dad? I don't need you to hold my hand for me"

1 say sarcastically and Justin laughs

“I see some things never change huh, Lace"

Huh

“What? what do you mean?”

Task him as we enter Logan's personal elevator

When the doors closed, Justin looked at me and smiled

“You're still the same old sarcastic Lacey that you used to be before...”

“Before I was screwed royally up the ass by my fiancee and my family”

I say with a tight smile and Justin's smile drops as he looks away

“Yeah...before that"

The elevator ride was silent after that, so much so that when it dinged letting us know that we had arrived on Logan's floor, the ding

sounded louder if that's even possible

“Let's go, kid"

Justin and I walked out of the elevator and headed towards Logan's

office

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P.v7

I scoffed and mentally rolled my eyes when I noticed all of the women were either adjusting their clothes to try and get Justin's attention or

they were saying some pretty crude things about him which I really don't want to repeat

“Good afternoon, Mrs Black, Mr Carpenter”

“Hey, Sophie"

“Hi, Sophie"

I greet my husband's secretary before giving her a very important job to do

“Sophie, can you do me a favour, please?”

“Anything ma'am, what is it?"

“Can you send out an email to everyone in this building that my brothers are all married with children and so is their boss, so we'd

appreciate it if they kept their disgusting and crude comments to themselves, oh and tell them that if anyone is caught readjusting or even

amending their outfits then they'll be fired, this is a respectable business, it's not a w***e house"

I say with a smile causing Justin to laugh and Sophie to look at mein shock

"Y.yes, of course ma'am, right away”

“Good girl"

1 say feeling satisfied

Justin and I then headed inside of Logan's office and my brother was still laughing his ass off when we did which confused the hell out of

Abby, Logan and his lawyer

"What are you two doing together? and what the hell is so funny, Justin?”

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P. v7 Logan growled in annoyance

"Your wifey over here threatening to fire your entire female workforce if they continue to dress inappropriately or talk crudely about you or

me, that's what's so funny, brother”

Justin said whilst continuing to laugh and I rolled my eyes

“Did she now?" Logan said with a smirk

"Yes, I did, those girls are here to do a job, not to w***e themselves out to every rich guy they see”

"Yeah, I think Lacey's exact words were this is a business not aw***e

house”

Justin said whilst mimicking my voice before another bout of giggles hit him which annoyed me in the process

“Urght!, shut up, Justin”

1 said while slapping my brother's chest

“That's my girl"

Abby said with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest

I smiled at her before narrowing my eyes at my delicious husband

“Anyway, speaking of whores, what's going on with GiGi? have you guys found a way to put this stray dog down for good?"

"Yeah, we think we've got a way, babe but you may not like it"

"Why not?"

Task while narrowing my eyes at my husband

“Well, Abby thinks we should do a press conference just me, you and a

few reporters who I trust not to spin the story like a goddamn D.J. which will hopefully end all of this bullshit once and for all"

“That's it? that's your big plan?"

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P. ated

Task annoyed

“Logan, the b***h has released a doctored s*x tape and she's claiming it's you in the video with her, she's such a sneaky rat that she's got an

answer for everything like for example, where have Logan's tattoos gone? why is his hair different? why isn't he as muscly in the video as he

is in real life? because thanks to my husband posting it all over **, the world now knows what your body looks like"

“She's right, Logan, that was one of the big giveaways when I first saw the video"

Abby said whilst eyeing up my husband's physique

This b***h

I pretend to clear my throat as I glare at my friend who just smirked and muttered sorry to me

“Babe, the press conference won't just be us telling the world we're married with kids or that GiGi was just my friend, no, this will be us

exposing her for the liar she is”

Logan says and I let out a sigh

"Tjust don't think this will work, Logan"

1 say while rubbing my forehead in frustration

“She's clearly got a lot of tricks up her sleeves and I'm not willing to risk you or our kids because of this mad b***h"

“Yeah but if you don't do any damage control, Lace, it could grow and get worse and you'll end up having a s**t ton of people believing her

lies, not to mention all of the useless and bored netizens on the internet who prey on bullshit stories like this"

“Your handsome brother is right, doll”

Abby says as she eyed up my brother

Chapter 64 - The Last Straw - P

oh my god

This girl's got no shame

“I'm happily married” Justin said while holding up his hand with his wedding band on it

“And? handcuffs we're made to come off, darling” Abby said causing Justin's face to drop while Logan burst out laughing and I facepalmed

This bluddy woman

“Lace” "Hmm" I looked up at Logan who was smiling at me

"We need to do this, honey...for us and our kids but most importantly,

we need to do it for our future as well, we can't be happy and live a great life with one another while GiGi's still out there causing havoc for

us,

babe"

Urght, he's right

/ hate it when he's right

Ithought to myself as I closed my eyes and sighed

"Ok fine, I'l do it"

“That's my girl"

Logan said and I smiled but I still didn't feel good about doing this
