Chapter 17 - Operation Trouble

Start from the beginning
                                    

So if the security detail is here, then that definitely means Rae is here because his job is to keep them safe when here even though Rae has no clue. She refuses to have a body guard, so I told her ok, but still have them in the shadows. Sometime I don't think she understands how rich our family is, the ruthless things I get involved with and threats I face from disgruntled ex-employes, loans I deny, business I overtake and run into the ground because they can't compete. It is a crazy and cold world and I will be damned if my family gets hurt. Ever since the day I found out about her and the kids, I bought the house next to hers and had guards there posing as a normal family.

Yeah she was upset when I told her about it and my back ached from sleeping on the couch for one whole week.

The van doors open and the our driver here gets out opening the door.

Ryder fly's out of the van running up the steps at full speed to reach me despite Rae's protest that he is going to fall.

I catch him in my arms and lift him. "Hey buddy! Missed me?" I smile. Soon enough I won't be able to lift them anymore.

"Mmhhmm!" He smiles with his eyes wide.

"How much?"

He just smiles and doesn't answer me. "So your not going to answer me?" I ask him putting him back down.

The rest of the kids were now coming up the steps in front of Rae towards me.

"He can't answer because he has poop in his mouth." Rayin says coming and standing next to her brother rolling her eyes.

"Poop?" I question now wondering what Ryder is up to.

"Nasty poop daddy!" Mari says hugging my legs.

"Yup!" Rush confirms. "You don't want to see it dad. Don't let him open his mouth!"

I laugh. "Ok I promise I won't! You guys go on inside so I can talk to your mom!"

"Mrs. Radley would you like me to take Blayze?" Our nanny asks.

Before Rae could even answer Blayze beat her to it. "No! I go with daddy!" He reaches for me and I take him.

"Its ok, I got him!" I smile at her reassuringly before he heads inside following the kids.

"Hey baby!" She stand on her tippy toes pecking my lips.

"Hey Wife. Not that I am not overjoyed to see you and my kids after the type of day I am having but what are you doing here?" I ask her.

She sighs. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asks now looking upset.

Tell her what?

"About what?" I ask Clearly confused.

She turns around and point to the van and then it hits me. There standing at the van door hugging herself and looking vulnerable is Quinn.

"I was planning to leave soon and call you on the way back home. I really had no idea of much that was going on until Evan and I got here." I tell her honestly.

"Well why do you have a scratch over your eye and your shirt looks like it was washed and rung out to dry?" She asks assessing my face and shirt.

I sigh knowing that she was going to be sad and mad at all that I had to tell her.

"I got into a fight with Evan and then another one trying to stop Quinn's brothers and new BOYFRIEND from killing Ethan." I put an emphasis on boyfriend letting her know how I feel about the situation.

She rolls her eyes just like Rayin. Now I see where she gets it from. She may look like me but she acts just like Rae.

"Why must you do that? You know the only person Quinn is with is Ethan, even though he cheated on her! And why were you fighting Evan?"
