Janiyah's POV

It sucks that Graeme had to be back to rehearsals on Monday. So, I flew to California with him. But at least we are together in our new home.

It is very spacious for us, our kids, and families. We are having a pool and large patio area built in the back yard, which is massive. Right now, we have a grill, patio table and chairs.

Damion is staying with us through the filming. He chose a room far away from us. Well, we are still newlyweds after all.

I am working out of my home office until the office space is completely renovated.

It is coming along well. Madi is coming with me to California, so I told her to take a vacation and spend some time with her family. She will be staying with us for a little while too.

Graeme and I also agreed that we are getting at least two pets. He wants a cat, and I want a puppy. Graeme gave me the keys to his Escalade until my parents come for a visit with my Denali and Cullinan.

I can't wait until we expose Jackson the day of his charity gala. The only thing is what's going to happen to Graeme and Damion's movie? They will come up with something.

Rehearsals ended early today, and Graeme texted me saying he has a surprise for me when he comes home.

So, I'm going to turn off my laptop and go start fixing dinner. I can't wait for the surprise.

After washing my hands, I made my way to the kitchen.

I love to cook, so my guys are getting steaks tonight. I already seasoned them, so they are going on the grill.

While cooking on the grill, I heard Graeme's SUV pull up. They must-have smelled the aroma of the steaks because I heard footsteps coming my way. And, I heard barking. Yay, my puppy is here!!!

When Graeme and Damion entered the yard, I saw them with,

"Four carriers?"

"Uh, I got happy with the pets. Two cats for me, and two puppies for you."

I peaked in each carrier. "Aww, they are so cute!"

"The puppies are girls. And, the kittens are boys. They came from the same shelter and are friendly with each other."

"I want the chocolate lab to be called Brownie. And, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel I want her name to be Lexie."

"You named them as quickly has Graeme named the kittens," Damion says.

"I named them Smoky and Tigger. Smoky is the black kitten," Graeme then adds.

"I love all four of them. Come to mommy, cutie. Uh, Damion can you finish the steaks?"

I carried the puppies to one of the lounge chairs and played with them.

"Mama is going to get her babies a pretty dog collar. Yes, she is." I started petting and talking to them like they understood me. Graeme and Damion were laughing.

"Guess what, Lexie and Brownie? Your uncle Damion and your daddy are going to watch you so mommy can buy you some beds and toys."

They stopped laughing then. "I'm going to the store in case you guys didn't understand. I'm going to buy things for Smoky and Tigger too. Later boys."

***********************************

I had a blast in the pet store. I bought almost everything they had for dogs and cats. Hey, my babies are going to be spoiled and I am not ashamed.

I went through the back yard with a few of the bags. The kittens were asleep. Damion was playing with the puppies. And, Graeme was finishing dinner.

"Dinner is ready, Niyah, boo."

"Thanks, Papito. Um, can you and Damion help me unload the Escalade? Uh, I got happy in the pet store for the puppies and kittens."

"Of course."

Graeme grilled the steaks and some corn. After washing my hands, I made us a tossed salad. Graeme didn't use to eat it until I came along. He loves it now.

Lexie and Brownie ran after Damion as he made his way to the table. "Aww, look at my babies. I just love them to pieces. How were the rehearsals today?"

"Jackson is insufferable! I wish his dang gala was here already," Graeme says as he shoves a piece of steak in his mouth.

"That reminds me. I need to go shopping for a dress. I'm in Los Angeles and married to the best actor in Hollywood now. I have to dress the part."

"I'm sure you will. Jackson is going down. I can't wait."

****************************************

Narrator's POV

After eating dinner, Janiyah, Graeme, and Damion brought in the bags and fixed up a room for the pets.

Meanwhile, Christy coordinated with Niko on the 'flight' for Jackson. Niko is going to try a different way this time and was overly excited to try it.

Jackson wasn't as smart as he thought he was. He told Jennifer everything about how he has stolen the charity money and blackmailed directors. Jennifer contacted her boss and told him everything for them to set up the arrest of Jackson.

Janiyah's office space is now fully, renovated and ready for business. After her vacation, Madison joined Janiyah in California. A few other employees also made the journey to Cali.

One month flew by quickly. Janiyah and Graeme are about to celebrate one month of marriage, and the gala is here.

Janiyah's POV

Today is the day that Jackson Pierce is finally going to be caught. We will finally be rid of him. My parents and Janelle are here too. They wanted a front-row seat as well. Liam, Marsha, Megan, Brett, and Hunter are coming too.

I bought two dresses because I couldn't decide which one to wear for tonight.

I'll save the other dress for another occasion. After grabbing my wrap and bag, I made my way downstairs. Everyone was downstairs, except me.

"Beautiful as ever, Mrs. Harrison."

"Thank you, Papito. Our transportation is here, so let's go get Jackson his 'flight.'"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, Jackson makes it a red carpet event because he likes attention. We took two limos, so the first limo unloaded, which was Christy, Madison, Brett, Hunter, Janelle, Megan, Danielle, and Luca. In our limo was me, Graeme, mom, dad, Liam, Marsha, and Damion.

Graeme and I stepped out last. I grabbed his right hand as we walked the red carpet. We both waved as fans screamed his name. Some even screamed mine. I was totally surprised by that, so I blew kisses to everyone.

Once inside, I grabbed a glass of wine from a tray one of the waiters was carrying. We saw Jennifer. Graeme heard his text ringtone going off. So, he checked it.

"Jennifer said some of the waiters are undercover agents and guests. And, she will give us a head bob when the arrest will go down. Her agency also put a freeze on every account that Jackson put the stolen money in."

"Good. I can't wait. I see Niko and Tatianna are here. Let's go say hi to them."

"Niko and Tati, how are you?" I gave them both a hug.

"We are great. How are you guys? It's coming up on one month of marriage," Tatianna says as we separate from our hug.

"It sure is. In three days, it will be a month. Once the filming of the movie is over, we can plan the honeymoon of our dreams. Your big day is coming up too. I'm excited to travel to Greece. That is the one destination I have not been too."

"Janiyah, you'll love it. And, you both will be staying at my house."

"Thanks, bro."

"Oh, and everything is set up for Jackson's flight."

"Graeme and I can't wait to see that."

"We can actually watch it from the limo we arrived in."

After a few more minutes, Jackson started giving a mini-speech.

"Thank you, one and all for attending the charity gala for this evening to help build after school centers for children who don't have a place to go. At these centers, the children will be able to have fun while waiting for their parents. Please give generously so we can have shelters placed all over Los Angeles. Again, thank you for coming tonight. Dinner will be served shortly."

Jennifer stood by his side while Jackson gave his speech. Uh oh, I think that slimy weasel is coming our way. "Papito, time to put on your game face. Trouble is coming our way."

Graeme's POV

I had the biggest grin on my face because, after tonight, I will no longer have to deal with Jackson Pierce.

"I'm surprised to see you here, Graeme."

"Despite my dislike for you, I came to support the worthy cause."

"Yeah, and I also came to see your demise."

"Well, thank you for the support. And, I hear congratulations is in order."

"Yup. It will be one month in three days that MY wife and I have been married." I wish he would stop acting like we are friends because we certainly are not.

"Oh, thank you for the flight tonight. I apologize for the late notice," Jackson says to Niko. Unbelievable for him to try and skip out of town right after a fundraiser.

"That's not a problem, Mr. Pierce. I'm fortunate that my pilot was able to get a flight time so quickly," Niko replies with a devilish grin. A waiter walks over to Jackson and whispers something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is now ready. Please follow me into the reception area." We all followed Jackson into a massive room with tables set up for everyone to have a seat. Janiyah and I, of course, were seated up front with Jackson and Jennifer.

My phone went off, signaling I received a text. Jennifer sent a text that the reveal will go down right after dinner.

We had to listen to Jackson ramble the whole time about his accomplishments that he stole from others. How pathetic. I'm not driving, so I grabbed a couple of glasses of wine and guzzled them down.

Jennifer and Christy walked on the stage that was set up. Christy spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's toast to a great host, and the worthy cause that we are here for tonight."

Everyone raised their glasses for an 'air' toast.

"And, we have some news that we are not sure how you will take. You see, ladies and gentlemen, my friend and I did a little research and found out that no such charity organization exists. Mr. Pierce here is nothing but a liar and thief."

Jackson tried to worm his way out of the room, but one of the waiters stopped him. Jennifer is now speaking.

"Mr. Pierce has stolen money from various charity events he has held to pay for some extremely high gambling debts. He has also stolen high-profile movie roles from actor Graeme Harrison, Luca Calderone, and several other actors to pay for his gambling debts. He blackmailed directors with false information to gain these movie roles."

Everyone in the room was upset and shocked, well except me, Janiyah, Niko, Tatianna, and our family.

"The donations you gave tonight have been seized and will immediately be returned. Jackson Pierce, you are under arrest!" Jennifer concluded her speech.

Jennifer and Christy ran off the stage and towards the door of the room. I ran after them. "Agent Wallace, Jackson somehow escaped!" One of the waiters says.

"He can't get away!!! Find him now! He can't go far because all of his assets have been frozen. Search this place from top to bottom!!!" Jennifer ran off with the agents.

Christy and I didn't panic because we know what is about to happen. I walked back to get Janiyah. We saw Niko and Tatianna leave the room, so we followed them. Christy came with us. We followed Niko to his limo, which was a stretch Rolls Royce Cullinan. Sweet.

"Graeme, Janiyah, this is my pilot, Adonis. He will be flying the plane from this limo. The plane has been fixed so Jackson will see a hologram of Adonis and my flight attendant. Jackson will be the only one on the plane."

"Oh, this is going to be good. I need some popcorn to watch this."

"Let's get away from here," Niko says.

"Here is my address." I gave the address to the limo driver, and we are on our way. Niko turned on the monitor to a laptop he had in the limo. It showed Jackson pulling up to the plane. He hurried onto the plane.

"Time to go to work," Niko's pilot says as he begins to talk to Jackson.

Adonis' POV

"Mr. Pierce, have a seat. Sit back and relax. We are clear for takeoff." The plane was rigged to have cameras placed. As soon as he sat down and buckled up, I remotely flew the plane.

"I got to hand it to you Niko. This is a genius idea."

"Thanks, Adonis."

Once the plane was in the air, Jackson Pierce went to sleep. He has no idea the plane is not going to his destination. What a sucker.

We must have arrived at Mr. Harrison's home because the limo stopped. Everyone then stepped out of the limo, and into the house.

"I'll show you all to the movie room." We then followed Mr. Harrison into the basement of his home and into the movie room.

After a few minutes, everyone was able to see what was happening on the plane.

Graeme's POV

"Gentlemen, I'll be right back. Tati, if you want to change out of your dress, I can find something for you," Janiyah then says.

"Thanks." Both ladies then left the room. A little while later, we heard my family entering the house. My father, brothers, Damion, and Steven entered the room.

About 20 minutes later, the ladies came back with snacks, drinks, and blankets for everyone.

"It's going to be a while before anything happens, so everyone may want to take a nap or something. The plane is now on autopilot," Niko's pilot mentions.

Janiyah and I cuddled together. That's exactly what we did, fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday, June 16th, 2019

By the time I woke up, it was the next day because I saw breakfast sitting on the counter in our movie room. Janiyah was still asleep in my lap. I started peppering her face with kisses.

"Did I miss anything?" She says as she opens her eyes.

"No, Mrs. Harrison, you didn't. But something is about to happen soon. He is close to the location," Adonis tells Janiyah. We all looked at the screen.

The plane started shaking. Jackson finally woke up. Adonis then used his voice to talk to Jackson. "Mr. Pierce, we need to make an emergency landing! Fasten your seat belt! It's about to be a bumpy ride!"

Jackson fastened his seat belt quickly. Adonis used his controller to make the plane descend. Jackson is about to be in for a big surprise.

Adonis made the plane seem like it was going to nosedive right in the water until he adjusted the plane to land on whatever island Niko has.

"Where is the flight attendant on this plane?" Jackson said out loud.

"Graeme, would you like to do the honors?" Niko says.

"Gladly." Adonis handed me the microphone he was using.

"Jackson, you dope there is no flight attendant or pilot. You flew on an empty plane. The plane was being flown from the movie room in my house in L.A. Your stealing, blackmailing and lying days are over. I hope you will enjoy your permanent stay on an uncharted island."

"Where is that voice coming from?!"

"I just told you, from the movie room in my house in Los Angeles. Don't you ever listen? Oh, and in case you didn't know who it is, take one guess?"

The fool ran to the cockpit. "What the heck?!! Graeme Harrison, you won't get away with this!!!"

"Hmm, looks like I just did. Goodbye, sucker!!"

"And, you might want to step off the plane because, in about five minutes, it will self-destruct," Niko added.

He got off that plane extra fast. And, sure enough, it exploded. We lost transmission have that.

"Well, everyone you are now free of Jackson Pierce," Niko then says.

Now that we are rid of him, what's going to happen to the movie?

We shall see.
