Landon's POV

I pull the car into the parking lot of Parker Inc. I park in one of the four parking spaces for the CEO's.

I look at my passenger seat where Mikayla sitting.

She turns to me. "It feels weird to be driving with you again to work I was starting to get used to Grandmother driving me to work."

I take her hand and give it a kiss. "Shall we go in?"

She nods. "Yes, I have some things I need to complete. I'll email you your appointments as well."

I shake my head. "No, need. My other assistant did that already. She stepped up when you were off. I'm giving her a promotion."

She crosses her arms. "Doing what?"

I step out of the car.

I don't want to argue with her in a small space.

Mikayla steps in front of me. "What's her new position?"

I start to move to the office. "She's taking your job."

Mikayla's mouth drops. "Why are you giving someone else my job?"

I press the button for the lift.

She taps her feet waiting for me to reply.

I turn to her. "Grandmother, gave you a promotion in the company. Today will be your first day being C.O.O. You will be making sure everything is running fine and you'll report back to me. Your office will be adjoining mine."

She smiles. "I can't believe Grandmother would give me a promotion. What does coo mean?"

I nod. "You will be known as the Chief Operating Officer. I have also hired a receptionist for you. She will be starting tomorrow."

The lift opens and we step inside. The door closes and Mikayla watches the floor numbers go up on the lift.

When the lift door opens I cover her eyes with my hands. "Do you trust?"

She nods.

Good.

I lead her to her new office.

At the office I remove my hand from her eyes. She looks at the door and hugs me. "This is the best present anyone's ever given."

I laugh. "Grandmother wanted you to have something that means a lot to her and this company is one of those things. I am the other thing that she wants you to have."

She enters the office and looks around. "This room is great. Whose room was this?"

I frown. "Don't you remember this was the one I had that summer when you first worked for Parker Inc?"

She smiles. "Your Grandparents offered a work experience placement in there office. They interviewed a whole heap of girls that day. Your Grandmother took one look at me and she whispered to your Grandfather to hire me. Who knew that summer would make us Best Friends? But, didn't you finish University early?"

"Yeah, I finished University early because I spend all the holidays studying. I wanted to show my Grandparents that I took the job seriously and that I wanted to be the next CEO of Parker Inc., when my father retires."

She walks over to the window and looks outside.

I move over to her. I can see the Hollywood sign from her room. I hear a knock on the door and I turn to the Secretary. "Can I help you?"

She looks at me. "There's two CIA Agents in the waiting area that want to see you, Sir." She looks at Mikayla. "And Mikayla."

Mikayla step away from the window and she moves over to me. She holds my hand as we exit the office.

There's two male CIA Agents. One has dark hair and brown eyes, he stands at 6ft something, he's wearing a suit. He produces his badge. "I'm Agent Clancy and this is my partner Agent Andrews."

I look at the badge.

It looks like the real thing.

"Let's take this to my office." I lead the way to my office. I point at Mikayla. "This is Mikayla Harrison."

Agent Andrews nods. "We know. She's also the biological daughter of Mariana and George Lambert. The couple that stole her are dead. As for your sister Juliet we don't know who her biological parents are. When you see her you get her to go to the police station and tell them she's a missing child. I wouldn't be surprised if that couple stole her like they did you."

Mikayla takes a seat. "I've been wondering the same thing. I haven't seen her since last month when she was here with your brother, Landon."

I move over to my desk and I sit on it. "I'll call him tonight. He'll tell me how I can get in contact with her."

Agent Clancy clears his throat. "We're not here about Miss Harrison. I'm fully aware that you two know about the problems that Mary-Ann Parker is having with Jasiah Parker." He looks at me. "I need you to organise a meeting with your cousin."

I shake my head. "Why would I do that?"

Agent Andrews moves towards me. "He was the one that put your girlfriend in the hospital. I know you've been trying to find out who caused the accident. My partner and I witnessed it. So, are you going to organise something with your cousin?"

My hands form into fists.

Yes, I am going to that. I'm going to beat the shit out of him first.

I nod. "I'll do it. But, first I need all the information you can provide. Grandmother doesn't want to worry me. I thought it would be best to ask you instead of being fucked around."

Agent Clancy laughs. "I like you kid. You're direct and you're hungry for information. Sometime that's a good thing. Other times it's not. This is what we've got from your Grandmother. He's been threatening her for the last six months. He want Parker Inc., he believes he's the rightful heir to the family fortune. He told her he's going to take everyone out in the family until he gets what he wants."

I look at Mikayla. Her face is pale and her hands are shaking. I move over to her and take her hands in mine. "Nothing's going to happen to you, sweetheart. I'm not going to let it."

Why would my cousin do this to our family? I should take him out before he can harm my family and take my fortune.

I drag my hand through my hair.

On my desk is a picture of Grandmother and Mikayla. In the background the sun is setting and the sky is pink, purple and blue.

They looked happy that day. I wish I was with them.

"When do you need me to meet up with Jasiah?"

Mikayla looks at me and shakes her head. "You can't meet up with him. What if he hurts you, Landon?"

I sigh. "That's the risk I'm going to take. We need to end this thing with my cousin. If he gets to my Grandparents then he'll get to you. If I lose you I won't have a reason to live anymore. I want you Mikayla and I refuse to hide the way I feel about you. I know you feel the same as I do. You're just worried about what will happen later on. I want to grow old with you, Mikayla Harrison. I want you to have my babies and I want you to carry my babies."

She looks at the ground. "I want all that too." She mumbles.

Agent Clancy shifts on his feet. "Tomorrow. We need him in custody by then. Our bosses want us back in the office. I didn't want to let this case go. That's why I'm working tiring on getting it done."

The Agent shake my hand. "We'll hear from you tonight, Mr Parker."

I nod. "Yes, Sir."

The Agents leave my office.

Mikayla rises from her seat and she wraps her arms around me. She lies he head on my chest.

I wrap my arms around her. I kiss her forehead. "I'll be careful when I'm with him tomorrow. We have dinner with them tonight don't we?"

She clears her throat. "Yes," she whispers.

I look at the time.

I'm late for the board meeting.

I step out of her arms. "I have to go. There's a board meeting that I'm running late for." I run out the door and head straight to the board room.

When I get to the room I don't see anyone there. The table is set with cakes, biscuits, tea/coffee and orange juice.

The secretary walks down the hall. "I told them to come back in half hour as something unexpected came up."

I frown. "Why didn't you come to my office to tell me?"

She looks at the ground and he face turns red. "You were hugging, Miss Harrison. What's going on between you two? You used to tell me that you don't believe in love."

"I lied to you. I didn't want to hurt your feelings and tell you that the one woman I love the most wants nothing to do with me."

She points down the hall. "Where does she come into it?"

I lean against the wall. "She is the one I love. I'm sorry, if it hurts you to see us together."

She shrugs. "It doesn't hurt that much." She moves closer to me and places her hands on my face. She leans into my ear and whispers. "I knew I wasn't going to have a future with you. I was dumb enough to hope for the impossible."

I hear a door slam. I look down the hall and I see Mikayla.

It's not what it looks like.

I push the secretary away from me. But, it was too late. Mikayla saw it and she's now taking it the wrong way.

Mikayla's on the verge of tears.

I move towards her.

Mikayla puts her hands up. "Landon, I'm leaving now. I'll see you at Grandmother's for dinner."

She walks over to the lift and presses the button.

The door opens and the board members exit the lift. She steps into the lift without giving me a second glance.

I have to go to the board meeting.

I enter the room and greet all the members.

The board member eat and drink the refreshments before the meeting start. I look t my write where Mikayla normally sits taking notes for me.

It feels weird without her in the boardroom.

One of the guys from the board looks at me. "Why isn't Miss Harrison joining us today?"

I look at him. "She's meeting with a new client today. Today was the only day that the client could make."

He nods. "I bet she'll be able to get the new client to sign with us."

Grandmother enters the room and we rise. She takes the seat next to me and touches my arm. She leans over and whispers. "What did you do to Mikayla? I saw her run out of here like a bat out of hell."

I sigh.

I whisper. "She thought it was kissing my secretary cause she was whispering something in my ear. I tried to tell her that I wasn't kidding the girl. But, she told me not to bother. Do you think she'll talk to me later?"

Grandmother nods. "Mikayla, doesn't know how to stay angry with people for too long. She just need to time alone. She'll be at my place for dinner. If she doesn't she knows I'll look for her and drag her to my place."

I laugh. "Yeah, you would."
