Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Big Cousin - Part 2

Lacey's POV

Dinner was like a nice cool breeze on a hot summers day and it was very much needed after everything we've had to deal with lately

It felt really good to sit down with real, genuine people who have got no agendas and no secrets and are here simply because they want to

be and not because they want to use me or butter me up because they need something from me

Iknow it may seem crazy that I feel so at ease and happy when I'm currently sitting with a mafia Don, his Donna and two of his higher-up

men but that's because they're my family, besides the mafia can't hurt you unless you hurt them or do something to piss them off, so I'm in

good company

After dinner, we had our dessert which included Teddy's cupcakes and they went down a treat which made my little girl feel very proud of

herself

“Mummy, can we go to the theatre room and watch a movie? we wanna show Cassius and Emily all of the cool stuff dad's got in there"

Logan Junior asks me

“Erm...

“Yes you can Junior, I need to talk to your mom and dad about something in private”

Klayton says interrupting me

Tlooked at him confused as I wondered why he wanted to talk to myself and Logan in private away from the kids

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi

“Junior? I like that name, we should call Lo Junior so that we don't get

confused between him and dad"

"How can you get confused, Dayton? I'm a child and dad is aman"

"People can still get confused, Lo"

Teddy says and Dayton agrees with her

“Yeah and you're not always gonna be a child, Lo, one of these days you'll be a man and it's gonna be so confusing for people to have two

Logan Blacks in the world, especially since you guys look so alike as well"

“I'still don't understand how people can get confused because when I'm older, I'l be young and dad will be old"

"Geez, thanks, son"

Logan said with a chuckle

"Don't feel offended babe, you'll still be handsome when you're older"

I'say while kissing my husband's lips earning a groan of disgust from both Justin and Klayton

“Do you have to do that, sis?"

"Yeah, I thought I warned you about that earlier"

Klayton and Justin growled and I once again poked my tongue out at them

“Now, you know how my dad and I feel when you're all over Cassie like a rash”

Benjamin says whilst shuddering dramatically

“She's my wife, Benj"

“And Lacey's mine"

Logan said with a victorious kind of smirk on his face as Klayton

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi glared at him and I chuckled

These men

"Ok, that's enough cavemen, kids go to the theatre room but make

sure Poppy is in there as well to watch over you and don't eat too much candy, ok”

"Yeah mum, we know"

Dayton said while rolling his eyes but it wasn't in a rude or cheeky kind of way

As s00n as all of the kids minus baby James were gone from the room,

Isnapped my head towards Klayton and narrowed my eyes at him

"Ok spill, what are you up to?"

“What are you talking about?"

Klayton asked whilst placing his hand on his chest feigning innocence

"You're up to something, Klay and I wanna know what it is right now"

“Why would you think I'm up to something, Lace? like honestly, I'm offended"

He says sounding like he's being serious but I know he's not

“I know you're up to something because it's you Klayton, you've had six years to come and see me in London and I've been back in New

York for awhile and you choose right now, this day to come and visit me"

I'say and Klayton's lips quirked up into a smirk

"You know me too well, little cousin"

“Sii sempre attento...you taught me that, Klay, you also taught me to read people and to this day..I'm the only person who can read you, so

tell me...what are you up to?" (Always be observant)

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi

“She's got a point, cousin”

Justin says with a proud smile on his face

"Ok, fine"

Klayton said as he threw his napkin down on his plate

“First of all, the reason why I never visited you in London is because of several reasons but mainly because you needed a break, Lace..you

needed a break from all of us and you also needed to heal and find peace which you wouldn't have done if 1 was popping in and out of your

life all of the time...besides, I knew you were ok and you were safe, so..."

He drifted off before continuing

“As for why I'm here now, I was actually planning on coming to see you before the holidays so that you could meet my son and I could

meet your littluns but then I received an anxious phone call from Logan"

Klayton says and I snap my head towards my husband

“You called him?"

“Yeah, I did at the behest of Justin and Abby"

"Wait, Abby? what's Abby got to do with this?"

Task confused

"She's my lawyer, principessa”

What?

“Abby doesn't practice law anymore"

“She does but she works solely for me, my family and my mafia"

Klayton says and my mind starts to go into overdrive about my friendship with Abigail

T've known her for almost my entire time in London and she was very eager to sign me as her client

Did she just befriend me because of Klayton?

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi

Is Klayton the reason why my work was successful?,

Was our whole friendship and working relationship a lie?

Twas brought out of my musings when I felt a warm grip on my hand

Ilook down at the tanned hand which has been decorated with a bird tattoo before narrowing my eyes to it's owner

“Stop overthinking, principessa, Abby is your friend..you've got no reason to doubt her"

“Really, Klay? because it's awfully coincidental that Abby befriended me not long after I arrived in London, she was eager to build a

friendship with me and my kids, not to mention, my work was successful within months of me releasing it..and now I find out she's your

lawyer"

Tlook Klayton in his eyes and he looks offended by what I'm insinuating

“You think all of that happened because of me, huh?"

"Like I'said, Klay, it's awfully coincidental”

I growl and Klayton nods his head as he briefly looks down at our hands before looking back at me

"Iagree but I had nothing to do with how successful you are, kid...that's all on you and your unbelievable talent as a writer, as for

Abby..yeah, I sent her your way because at the time she needed something

to occupy her time because I didn't need her as much and she was interested in helping aspiring writers such as yourself, I also needed

someone I trusted near you to not only be there for you as a friend and a confidante but to be my eyes and ears in case your family or

Dylan did somehow find you"

Klayton says and I instantly felt bad

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi

My cousin is a sweetheart who would never hurt anyone intentionally which I know is strange to say considering his job and who he is but

it's the truth and I know Klayton would never do anything to intentionally hurt or betray me and my trust

“Look at me, Lacey"

us now and continue your journey!

Klayton commanded me and I instantly did what he said

“I promise you, tesoro, you've got nothing to worry about with Abby, she loves you and your kids"

“Klayton's right, love...if he wasn't and Abby was just someone who was hired by him then would she have gone as far as she did to help us

expose GiGi to the world?..I highly doubt she would, babe, people will do a

lot for money but nobody would work as hard as Abby did for you and for us or work with as much passion, drive and dedication as she did

if she was just doing it to get a pay cheque from Klayton”

He's right

I thought to myself whilst nodding my head

“So, what's Abby got to do with you being called here?"

Task Klayton but Justin answered me

“It was my idea, little sis, I had a feeling that the press conference you all did to clear everything up would make things worse with GiGi and

she wouldn't stop until someone got hurt and I couldn't allow that to happen, Lace... know you probably don't believe this but I love you

and I love your kids...1 don't wanna see anything bad happen to you guys, so I talked with Abby and together we convinced Logan to call in

an old friend”

Justin says and I look at Klayton who was still holding my hand as he gently strokes his bearded chin with his free hand

"Wait, so you're here to...do what exactly, Klay?"

Chapter 75 - Over-protective Bi

Task confused and Klayton smirks

“I'm here to rid you of your infestation, kid, in fact..I've already put my plans into motion, Lace"

Oh no

“What have you done, Klayton?"

Task but he doesn't answer me, he just continues to smirk and drink his bourbon

“You haven't done anything stupid, have you, Klay? GiGi is mine and Logan's problem, she's not a mafia problem”

“Actually cugina, that's where you're wrong because it is a mafia problem”

What?

“Oh really? and how do you work that one out?"

Task annoyed

GiGi Addams is a b***h, a thorn in my ass and she makes getting a smear test feel like a f****g walk in the park but she's not worth wasting

the mafia's time on

“What have the mafia and Italians got in common, Lace?"

"We're all angry, hot-blooded assholes who take s**t way too freaking personally”

Isay as let out a sigh and rub my forehead whilst everyone chuckles

"Yes but that's not the answer I'm looking for, kid...the answer I was looking for is that we're all about family"

Klayton's brown eyes bore into my green ones and I had this weird feeling that this wasn't just about me but it was also about GiGis other

indiscretions as well

“GiGi messed with you, principessa and she's about to learn the hard way that you don't mess with an Antonelli and get away with it"
