Chapter 7 Logan

Chapter 7 Logan
I stood outside the bedroom door and listened to Sella inform Sunny how it was going to go and I smiled to myself as I made my way down to the guys to get the latest update of how the prep is going. No sooner had I hit the bottom step and was Justin on me.

“Boss, it looks like Brighten has the idea that we have Sunny.” He says with a bit of a grin.

“And what gives him the idea that we have her?” I return the question.

Justin turns his tablet to show me an email from Brighten’s office asking and thanking me for finding his fiancé and asks that we promptly return her. I laugh at this and look at Justin and say, “He is truly reaching. What did you send back to him?”

Justin clicks a couple of times and shows me what he sent in response. It states that Mr. Marshall was extracted from his property early this morning, due to a company wide emergency and there was no one else with him at the time of extraction. I chuckle as I read Mr. Brighten’s office response to that one, they are claiming that the men who trespassed on my land saw her with me. I know for a fact that is not true and thankfully Justin is quick to remind him of this. I read a bit further down and see the underlying threat in his words about retribution if I do not comply to his demands. He also states that he has been in contact with my wife and her father who state that I am MIA.

Haha I snort out loud to this and look at Justin. “So, let me get this straight,” I say and continue to walk toward the living room where Chet and Garrett are waiting with the tailor. “He thinks we have her and that I will come to the rescue of my now ex-wife and her father if I don’t comply with his demand.”

“I was thinking the same thing sir.” He says with a chuckle.

Chet laughs into the phone and then looks up at me and says, “Viv just texted me that because of your cheating ass, she and her father are being held hostage.” He taps on his phone and turns it toward us all and says, “And there is a video.” He pushes play and it shows Viv and her father sitting on a couch looking put out, but not in any harm. Then it shows Mr. Brighten’s men handing her a note to read at gunpoint. That does make me a little irritated, but only because he thinks he can try and get to me without doing his background work. Also, that Viv seems to think that I would give two shits what happens to her.

Garrett looks at the video and shakes his head and looks at Chet, “Can you send me a copy of the text and video.” He asks shaking his head in disbelief and continues, “I just cannot see how this man is not in jail already and has any form of power position.”

We all nod in agreement.

Chet looks at me and says, “I think we should move up this timeline, just in case we need to do a little black ops later.”

“I did not hear that as an FBI Agent,” Garrett adds with a sly grin, “But I did hear it as a brother and will offer whatever help I can.” He finishes with a wide grin and pats his side arm by his shoulder.

“Thank you, all of you.” I turn to Justin and ask, “Justin can you look into how the prep is going and see if we can push it up by two or three hours?” Then think better of it. “Do you think Stella could have Sunny ready in two hours?”

Justin nods and rushes off up the stairs, I can only hope Stella can do this. I turn to see the tailor look at me with wide eyes. “This is not a normal thing; however, I do thank you for signing the NDA and for your desecration.” I say to him as I step to the rack of suits he brought.

He nods and steps up next to me before he answers, “I am a great sharpshooter if ever you feel you need me. I have been known to hit my mark at one mile out.” He turns and gets the suit he brought for me.

I stare at him through the mirror and nod my thanks. I know that Sunny and myself are surrounded by amazingly great people and feel truly blessed.

Two hours later, I am standing in my backyard under an arbor with Garrett, Chet, Justin and all my men waiting with me.

Stella comes rushing up to Garrett and asks, “Garrett dear, Sunny is asking if you will walk her down the aisle. Since you are going to be her family now.”

Garrett blushes and looks to me for the okay. I clap him on the shoulder and tell him, “I would be honored if you would. Plus, it is what Sunny wants and she can have anything.”

Garrett laughs and follows Stella back into the house to bring my future to me.

Sunny

I stand in the small curtained off area that Stella had the guys build to keep me hidden from view. I look at myself in the full-length mirror and can’t help the smile that comes to my face as I look at the simple lace shift dress that I chose to get married in. It is a cross between old Hollywood glam and Victorian era. Stella did my nails in this gorgeous magenta color and my hair is half up and half down with cascading curls, kind of like the plaits of old. I love the way I look and cannot wait for Logan to see me. I asked Stella to see if my future Brother-in-Law would walk me down the aisle because I just didn’t feel right walking alone.

“Knock, Knock,” Garrett says as he fake knocks on the side of the curtain. “Are you decent? May I come in.?” He asks with a soft tone.

I chuckle at him and answer, “Yes you may.”

He enters and his eyes go wide, so does his smile. “My brother is a lucky son of a bitch and he better treat you right or I will kick his ass.” He says as he steps up to me and takes my hands and kisses my forehead. “If you ever need anything, I will always be there Sis.”

‘Thank you,” I say as a tear escapes my eyes, “Oh no, I was not supposed to cry, Stella is going to.”

Stella steps into the area and clicks her tongue at me before she daps my eyes with a tissue. “Now, let’s get you married before you ruin all our hard work.” She smiles and pats my arm, then turns to Garrett and does the same.

Garrett offers his arm and says, “Shall we Sis?”

All I can do is nod and smile and place my hand in the crook of his elbow.

Logan

Justin hits the play button on the stereo set up just outside the door and the wedding march starts on a low volume. The curtains that were placed over the opening are parted and out steps my future in a vision of white lace and satin. I take a deep breath and watch her, and my half-brother walk slowly toward me.

He of course is grinning like a loon and I cannot blame him, however, he will be getting a punch in the arm for touching what is mine. I am not sure where all these caveman tendencies are coming from, because lord knows I never had this reaction with she who will never be named again.

As they reach me, the priest or Gully as we call him smiles and says, “And who gives this woman to this man?”

“We do,” came the chorus of voices from my men. This makes me smile like a goof as I step forward and take her hand from Garrett.

He kisses her hand with a smile directed at me and says, “Take care of her”. He places her hand in mine and I kiss it over where he just did. Was it a bit petty, maybe, but I still felt that I needed too.

She blushes and ducks her head as she says a quiet thank you to Garrett and we take the last two steps up to Gully to get this wedding started and over with.

Gully chuckles and asks, “Is there any who are opposed to this union?”

We all turn and look at everyone who is shaking their heads no with even bigger grins than I do.

“Alright then, Let’s get this party started.” He claps his hands and both Sunny and I look at each other and get lost.
