Chapter 69

"What's going on?" I asked Hames.

"Samantha and Dash have been arrested." Hames said, strolling into the room.

"Really? That's great."

"That isn't the end though. Court stuff, blah blah blah." He sighed, shoving his thumbs into his front pockets. "Are you going somewhere?"

"No, I'm not." I replied, staring at my face in the mirror.

"I don't think I've told you that you look extremely beautiful today." He walked over to stand behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I'm so glad. I could've lost you." I pivoted to him, brushing his hair with my fingers and rested the back of my palm on his forehead. "Feels really better. I thought something bad had happened to you. Your body temperature was so high."

"I told you, you're the solution to my problems. How can I possibly be I'll when you're with me? I have to take care of you and our cute little princess." He led me to sit on the couch, crouching in front of me with my hands in his.
