"I'll try this room. You try down the hall." I'm pulled awake when I hear whispers outside my room. I know the routine now. We are in a luxury mansion in Vermont. Todd told me. Eric only has three guards on at night. He likes privacy. My door creaks open and I squeeze my eyes shut hoping it isn't Todd or one of the other horny overbearing men. I already have bruised cheeks and a black eye for not being compliant enough. I hear footsteps coming towards the bed and who ever entered the room let's out a deep breath.

"Genevieve..." Cameron? "Love, please wake up."

"Cam?" I open my eyes to find emerald green eyes staring back at me. "Cameron!" I throw my arms around his neck and he lifts me off the bed.

"Oh baby! I've been so worried about you. Are you ok?" He holds me back so he can look at me. His eyes darken as they flick over the bruises on my face. "Who did this?"

"It doesn't -"

"Who Genevieve?"

"Todd... and others. Look Cam it doesn't matter. Please let's get out -"

"Honey..." a woman says my voice and I recognise her immediately.

"Mum" I run to her and hug her. I don't know who is more shocked, Cameron, my mum or me. I had a lot of time to think and right now I don't want to lose my mum ever again.

"We have to go Honey" mum says grabbing my hand. "We can't stay. Come on Cameron. You need to get Honey to the Charger. Bas is waiting. Brayden, Jake and I will take Eric down once and for all."

"Mum" I say frozen in the spot as Cameron tries to follow my mother's instructions.

"I will be fine Honey" she takes my face in her hands. "This is my thing. Go with Cameron. I love you Honey."

"I love you too."

I let Cameron pull me out of the house and down the long driveway. Cameron covers my view of the dead bodies that are in the way as we make our exit. One thing is for sure my father is thorough. Cameron pushes me into the waiting Charger and once the door shuts Bas floors it. Cameron leans over wrapping me up is his arms. His lips are next to my ear and I hear him breath out softly.

"I should have told you sooner" he whispers and I turn to him confused. "I love you Genevieve Reynolds."

"I love you too..."

...

Kate and Brayden were in intensive care for almost a week. Brayden was shot in the chest as he fired a shot. Thankfully for us Brayden's shot hit its mark right between the eyes. Eric Maxwell is dead. Kate was knocked over the head resulting in a coma. Genevieve refused to leave their beds. She did her work from the hospital calling in instructions to Caleb. Finally she is home tonight. Home with me. Jacob bought a four bedroom townhouse near Boston Common for his family and Bas moved in straight away. Tonight we are having dinner in the new house to celebrate and welcome Kate and Brayden home.

"I have nothing to wear!" Genevieve yells from the wardrobe. When I don't answer quick enough she yells again. "Cameron! I have nothing to -"

"I heard you love. Please stop shouting." I say rubbing my ears. I walk into her wardrobe walking out with a pair of skinny jeans and v neck pink sweater. "What about this?" I offer.

"It's not too casual."

"It is dinner at your parents house Genevieve you could wear your pyjamas and I don't think they'd care."

"I'm nervous."

"I know that is why your stalling. There is no hiding from this."

"Is your family still coming?"

"Olivia called me half an hour ago to confirm."

"Oscar is coming?" she asks and I nod. She turn back into her wardrobe coming out with her skinny jeans and San Francisco Giants jersey, "Then I'll wear this" she smirks.

"Are you trying to start a war?"

"Shut up. We are already late."

The two of us say goodnight to Paulette and grab our jackets before hopping on my bike. When we pull up outside the townhouse. I park and help Genevieve off the bike. When we turn back to the front door Jacob Maxwell is standing staring at us.

"I'm not ok with this" he says sternly arms crossed over his chest.

"Ok with what?" Genevieve asks as she pulls her helmet off. The scene is like something out of a movie as she whips her hair over her shoulder.

"This is a stage I thought I would have missed out on. The whole dating a guy with a bike." Jacob smirks and Genevieve and I laugh.

"I don't think you have to worry when the guy with a bike is a billionaire, dad" Genevieve steps forward and hugs her father.

"Hugs and calling me 'dad' won't change my mind young lady" Jacob says pulling his daughter inside. I spot a limo pull up and my family step out one by one. Perfect timing. I lead my family inside to meet Genevieve's.

All the Cunninghams step inside and Bas comes to greet me.

"Hey Cameron! This must be your family." he says happily. "I'm Bas Honey's twin brother. Our brother Brayden will be down soon and mum, dad, Honey and my girlfriend Brooke are in the kitchen"

"You're smile is just as infectious as your sister's" mum says pulling Bas into a hug. He shocked but hugs her back.

"Hi everyone" Genevieve says entering the foyer. "Come in, come in." Bas leads my family into the dining room and Oscar stops frozen as Genevieve pulls off her leather jacket.

"Honey. What the hell are you wearing?" Oscar snarls and everyone stops and turns back to watch the exchange between the two. I notice Olivia holding back fits of laughter. Bas has a smirk on his face and Kate is looking proud of her daughter.

"I'm just supporting my team" Genevieve says with a smile. She takes a step towards Oscar and he jumps back as though she is diseased.

"Hell no!" He cries as he runs passed everyone in to the dining room.

It is going to be a long night. I have been planning this night in my head for the last three days. Genevieve finally with her family all together. My family meeting hers hopefully getting along. I take a deep breath as I sit in my seat next to Genevieve. Tonight is the night. It might seem soon. Don't be nervous Cameron.

Tonight is the night I ask Genevieve to marry me.
