***Raelynn and Baby Blay in MM***

_______________

Raelynn's P.O.V

_______________

"Kids let's go!" I yell from the front door as I stuff the last of the snacks into my tote bag I use for carrying their stuff.

As soon as Quinn got off the phone I started packing the things we would need for our trip to South Carolina. I was suppose to be going into the office today, to catch up on some work and reviews the budgets for each office and their departments for approval for Bryce to sign off on. I could approve and sign off on them myself but I like to keep Bryce involved like he does with me.

Bryce would prefer to have me at home with the kids, so I compromise and work from home for a couple hours during the days while the kids are at school and Blayze is napping or either with the nanny if I am really busy. I only go into the office once per week for meetings and reviews, twice if Bryce plans to make investments, then I am there to asses the stocks or all the finances of companies he's interested in acquiring.

I love being a financial analyst, I took online courses while pregnant with Blayze since I was on bed rest and completed my masters recently.

"Walk!" I yell up the stairs as I hear little feet running. I look up to see them all slow down at the top of the stairs as they hear my voice. They all slowly walk down the stairs, except Blayze, who sits and slides down on his butt smiling with each thump.

As they hit the last step they all start running towards me excited. Why? Because I told them we we're going on a adventure.

"Ready!" They all exclaim.

"Ok get your backpacks" I tell them knowing they would need it. I had all their ipads, reading and coloring books and WII U's packed in them to keep them busy.

"Ready Mrs. Radley?" the nanny asks.

"Yeah, Oscar should be outside waiting." I open the door and look outside verifying that Oscar is here, my personal driver and bodyguard Bryce felt I needed. I tried to tell him I didn't but as you can see Oscar is still here.

I see Oscar leaning against the black sedan that Bryce have him drive when just transporting me, he knows I am not fond of flashy cars. Upon hearing the door open he looks at me and opens the back door waiting for me to enter. I forgot to mention to him when I called him that it would me, plus all the kids and our live in nanny, Theresa.

"Oscar!" Ryder yells and runs out to him, Rush, Rayin and Tomar following behind.

"Oskie!" Blayze then squeals and follow the others.

I am livid right now but by just looking at my children, my heart melts and a smile tugs at my lips.

"Are you ready Mrs. Radley, is there anything you need me to get or do before we leave?" Theresa asks coming behind me with our overnight travel bags and a fresh suit for Bryce to wear to work since I did not plan on coming back today and know Bryce would stay as well if I did.

"No that should be it. Just lock up and we can go." I smile at her and she leaves the bags at the door and goes to lock the doors.

I head outside and approach Oscar and the kids.

They all have a sucker in their mouth. That never fails when they are with Oscar.

"Hello Mrs. Radley. Is it just you today or are all the kids going with you or separately with Miss Theresa?" He asks. No matter how many times I tell him and Theresa to just call me Raelynn or Rae, they never listen.

"Hey Oscar. We are all leaving together, so you might want to get the family car." I tell him suggesting he gets the Mercedes Sprinter Bryce purchased since I told him using the limo draws too much attention.

"Ok. I will park the car and get the sprinter."

"Ok. Thanks Oscar." He simply nods and close the back door.

"Guys move over here so that Oscar can go!"

They all shuffle over to me sucking on their lollipops, showing each other the color of their tongue.

"Everything is all set!" Theresa says dropping the bags next to us.

"Nanny look at my tongue! Is it blue yet?" Ryder asks Theresa as he sticks out his tongue trying to see it himself.

"Sure is!" She chuckles!

"I told you it is stupid!" Rush huffs and Rayin laughs.

"Rush! Do not call your brother stupid and Rayin, that's not nice, so stop laughing."

"Sorry mom." They both say at the same time.

"Mommy!"

"Yes Mari?"

I have to pee!" I look down at Tomar who has one hand between her legs and the other still holding her sucker as she rocks from side to side on each leg.

"I'll take her." Theresa says holding out her hand for Tomar to take and go with her since the door was locked.

Theresa has been a savior to us. At first I was opposed to having a nanny because I wanted to raise my kids myself, it is my job. But when I went on bed rest with Blayze, I gave in, agreeing to have a nanny until 3 months after he was born. But then Theresa grew on us and the kids, and having her around for when we have date nights, emergencies and doing errands have proven to be helpful. So we agreed to keep her around until we no longer need her.

We constantly thank Elena for recommending her to us. Theresa is a very sweet and loving person, and being that she raised 3 children of her own was just a plus.

I feels someone latch onto my leg and the sound of wailing starts.

I look at him and he reaches for me to pick him up.

I pick him up and put him on my hip, avoiding my stomach.

"What's wrong Bubba? I ask him now concerned. He rarely ever cries, unless he's sick or tired and wants to sleep.

"My stuckerrrrrrr!" Blayze points at his sucker now on the ground as he cries.

"You can have the rest of my sucker Blayze" Rush hands Blayze his sucker which Blayze takes and automatically stops crying.

"Tell your big brother thank you?" I tell Blayze.

"Tank you Ush." He smiles and wiggles for me to let him down.

I watch as he takes a lick and then pushes it to Rush mouth for him to do the same.

At the same time, I hear the automatic door of the extensive garage that houses all of our vehicles to the side being lowered and see the sprinter pulling up next to us.

Oscar gets out and opens the door for us, taking the bags to the back.

I get all the kids in and buckle Blayze in before making sure they are all fastened in. As soon as Tomar gets in, I do the same with her and take my seat as Theresa gets in next to Oscar.

"Straight to the airport Mrs. Radley?" Oscar looks at me in the rearview mirror.

"No, I'm going to make a quick detour first. Take me to the office."

He nods and we head out in that direction.

When we pull up to the office building, I told Theresa to sit in the back with the kids and I would be back in a minute.

I walk by the front desk returning greetings as I pass by. Dressed in dark blue jeans, black chucks, a red blouse with a black short sleeve blazer over it and my sun glasses on the top of my head, it was clear that I was not here for work. I walk by the elevators and to a door at the back that has 'Authorized Personel Only' written across it and knocked.

"Morning boss lady!" Matt pops his head out smiling.

"What are you doing here Matt? I didn't know you were supposed to be here." I ask surprised. Matteo Pearsaul is the IT manager stationed in the California office and head of security for Bryce's entire security operations.

"Yeah it was last minute. Just had to put in the new updates to the system. And since there are some new stuff being installed, I figured I would come train the guys to do it. And Bryce wanted to meet with me about some hack alert he received to the system, but I'm sure its nothing. You know he's always worried about something. But it seems like I may be here for a while."

"Yeah that's Bryce for you." I laugh.

Bryce claims Matt is a wiz with breaches and hacking and is also ex military as to why he hired him and proved himself to gain his position.

He's grown quiet close with Bryce and the boys and comes over for dinner when we are in California or if he's working here.

When I first met Matt at our wedding, we hit it off after he cracked a joke about running a background check on me and Bryce hanging up the phone on him before he could tell him he had triplets. He told me Bryce sounded miserable enough and he was scared of losing his job so he didn't even bother calling him back.

Bryce laughed about it and so did I. What's meant to be will always happen.

"So what can I help you with?"

"Oh yeah, I need to know if Meghan, Dylan's wife came in today."

"Jason!" He turns around and calls one of the security over from his desk.

"Good morning Mrs. Radley." Jason greets me with a smirk.

"Good morning!" I answer.

"Yes sir?" He turns to Matt.

"Mrs. Radley needs to know if Meghan came in already. Check the access card logs and see if she swiped in already for the morning." Jason nods and walks back into the room, shortly after a door closed behind him and he disappeared.

"I don't think I've seen him before, what is his job here?" I ask Matt curiously. That smirk looked more sinister more than anything else.

"Oh he's the supervisor for security for the World Market building." He said referring to the name of this building which houses most of Bryce's enterprises in New York, the main one being De Luca & Tully Shipping, the company passed down to him from his grandfather.

At first I was confused about about the De Luca, seeing that it's an Italian name but then Elena explained to me and I realize that I didn't know a lot about them.

So to make a long explanation short, Elena is Irish and Italian. Her parents met when Torin Tully, her father, visited Italy on business for his family to expand the company. The Tully family is well known in Ireland for the oldest and most successful import and export business. He went and met with Lucas De Luca, the most infamous and ruthless shipping magnet in Italy. He proposed an expansion deal but during the dinner, Lucas saw the glances being passed between Torin and his Eldest daughter Belina Luciana De Luca. It was then that he agreed, but had his own proposal, the two would get married and the companies become one. At first Belina objected refusing to marry a stranger, but after she got to know Torin, the two became inseparable and got married. They joined both companies and expanded to Savannah, Georgia to the 4th largest shipping port in the United States. On their way through South Carolina one day, they fell in love with a stretch of land and visioned building a house large enough to raise a big family. They built the estate that Elena grew up in and still resides in South Carolina. They then moved the company from Savannah to New York, since there were better business prospects available and the port larger, being the 3rd largest in the U.S, and then expanded to Los Angeles, but kept the main office in New York. Shortly after Belina became pregnant and had a daughter whom she named after her grandmother, Elena Lucia De Luca. Torin and Belina wanted more children but never had the time, so they only had Elena Lucia De Luca-Tully.

After Belina became I'll with cancer before she passed, Elena moved back from Los Angeles temporarily, to take care of her ailing mother. Ethan and Evan didn't want to leave their school and friends, so she allowed them to stay with Edward since it was their senior year and would fly to see them on the weekends or have them come to her if they didn't have games or football practice. Since Bryce was just starting his freshman year, she decide to take him with her and he was happy to go, back then she had no idea why he wanted to leave instead of staying with his brothers but now she understands. She then admitted to me that Bryce is a year older and was in the same grade as I was because she held him back a year, too scared to let him go after losing Evania.

After Bryce mentioned wanting to visit his family in Italy, I was very confused, so Elena took the time to explain to me their family history.

I did ask about Edwards family out of curiosity and she told me that his mother passed after giving birth to him and his two older brothers resented him for it. His father never remarried, instead he threw himself into non stop work and ended up suffering from a stroke and died a year after their wedding leaving Radley corp to him, something his brother's resented him even more for and disowned him.

"Raelynn?"

"Huh?" I look to see both Jason and Matt standing in front of me.

"You ok?" Matt asks.

"Yeah I'm fine!" I fan the idea of me not being fine away. "Just zoned out into my own little world for a second."

"More like 30 minutes." Jason mumbles.

"30 minutes?!" I exclaim. There is no possible way u could have been standing here for 30 minutes.

I look to Matt for confirmation and he his glaring at Jason, apparently not finding my frightful state funny.

"It was only like a minute but anyways, Jason checked and she hasn't swiped in as yet, but it's not like she could have if she wanted to." Matt tells me.

"And why is that?" I ask.

"Her access card to the building was deactivated this morning." He answers.

Mmhhh that's interesting, I wonder who is one step ahead of me.

"And who deactivated her card?" I asks Matt who then looks at Jason for an answer.

"The boss man did it" Jason answers me.

"The boss man?" Raise an eyebrow asking. I might need to start calling Bryce that, I think it will sound sexy with me saying it.

"Uh yeah, Mr. Radley, your husband Ma'am." He says looking nervous as if he is in trouble.

I just laugh.

"Ok, Meghan is no longer allowed in this building. Her husband is still a staff here but she is not allowed back here. I know she won't be able to get by the security checkpoint without her access card but still notify all security personnel and the front desk receptionist. I'm sure Bryce would agree since he's already disabled her card. "

"Ok. Anything else?" Matt asks.

"Yeah, have someone clean out her desk and have her things dropped off at her place at the Luca Lofts." I mention the company housing where Meghan and Dylan lives. The Lofts are owned by Bryce, in where he has employees live as a part of their salary package. Since Dylan was just getting back on his feet, Bryce made the loft apart of his incentive and they have been living there ever since.

"Ok, I'll send Jason up to do it right away." Matt says before telling Jason what to do exactly.

"Thanks Matt!" I tell him.

"No problem, i'm just doing My job! And I would ask what happened between you and Meghan but I won't because I really don't think that's any of my business. I just hope you are ok."

" I am! Thanks Matt but I have to go now. The kids are in the car and I have the plane waiting to take us to South Carolina, just called me or Bryce if anything comes up." We bid each other goodbye.

I walk back to the car and told theresa to just stay seated in the back because I have another detour to make. I told Oscar where I need to go before I got into the front seat.

As soon as we pull up, I see the same door man as always standing at the door. He greets me and opens the door for me as I step inside the building. The staff greeted me and I take the elevator up to Meghan's floor and walk down the hall to her door.

I knock the door three times before if swings open revealing Meghan.

Upon seeing me her face turns into an immediate frown and it looks as If she's seen a ghost.

"Rae? What are you do-doing here?"

"First off, don't call me that, that's only for family and close friend,which you are neither. Secondly, I came to give your something!"

"And what's that she asks?"

"This!" I pull my hand back and slap her so hard across the face that she looses her balance and topples over falling backwards."

She hold her cheek looking at me angrily.

"Meg?" I hear Dylan call for her after the sound of her falling echoed in the loft. "What hap- Rae? What's going on?"

He helps Meghan up who is still holding her face.

"I'm pressing charges!" She announces.

I laugh. This girl is even crazier than I realized.

"Oh please do! Call the police and tell them that, I, Raelynn Nicole Sage-Radley slapped you. But please don't forget to tell them or your husband why you got a well deserved slap!"

I turn to walk away.

But stop and turn back around.

"Since you want to get me arrested and all that good stuff, I might as well go to jail for good reason." With that I turn my right hand over, bring it up to my face and lowetr it swiftly, connecting it full force with her other cheek, sending her tumbling into Dylan's chest.

"Now you can press two charges bitch!" With that I turn around and leave to the car heated.

And to think that we considered her a friend.

The sight of her and her voice just made my blood boil.

As I walk out to the sprinter, I open the back door, allowing Theresa to go back to the front and I take back my original seat next to Blayze.

"Now who is ready to go and see Aunty Quinn?" I ask the kids.

"I am!"

"Me!"

"Yay Ti ti!"

" Me!"

I smile at them all so excited, letting my anger dissipate.

"Where to now Mrs. Radley?" Oscar asks.

"To the airport please Oscar! The plane is waiting, we're going to South Carolina."

Quinn has been my rock for so many years, now I plan to be hers.

I have never heard my best friend sound the way she did on the phone earlier. It has me on edge.

Meghan deserves more than she got.

I have never been the violent type, never have I ever hit someone or fought before. I have no idea where I got that much strenght from.

I guess my right hand has been on the charger for all these years.

That slap was a 100%! I laugh to myself, replaying in my mind how dumb she looked telling me she would call the police. Yeah right, and tell them what? That you got slapped for being a cheating slut? A fake friend? A back stabbing bitch?

Meghan better watch out, because this is not the end.

It's funny that after I heard Bryce's secretary Linda, whom I thought I had a good relationship with, talking about me in the break room two days ago I went home and said a prayer.

I asked God to please remove all my enemies from my life and those who meant no good.

And now today Meghan is gone.

I guess that's why it's always good to stick with your day one friends. It can't possibly get any more real than those friends.

Cara, Quinn and I to the end.

Oh and I guess Shantel is the exception since she is like a little sister to me now. I need to talk to her as well, I guess I will be having a good sit down conversation with her once I get there.

I'm sure she will be at home.
