Chapter 43

Lacey's PO.

©Oh my god, it's Dylan.

Dylan Tate, my ex-fiance is currently standing in front of me with tears in his eyes and a happy and relieved expression on his handsome

face.

He looks tired and exhausted but he still looks as handsome as he was six years ago.

"It's you, Lace, it's really you"

“Dylan, I."

Itried to speak but was cut off by him.

“I can't believe this..you're back, you're finally back”

Dylan tried to approach me but I backed up not wanting him anywhere near me.

“Lacey please, I just want a hug, I missed you so much”

Is this motherfucker for real?.

“You missed me, well, I didn't miss you, not one single bit"

I'turned around to leave but was quickly stopped by Dylan who grabbed hold of my wrist.

“Lacey princess, please”

He begged me and I slapped his hand away from me as I glared at him.

“Don't you ever touch me or call me that name again, do you understand me, Dylan? you've got no right to do either of those things

anymore”

"Please Lacey, I just wanna talk, I've missed you so much"

“So you've already said, Dylan but I don't care... truly don't care how much you've missed me"

I growled at him as a stray tear fell down his cheek.

“Please, I."

“Daddy, are you ok?"

Melissa asks interrupting her father's pleas to me.

“Daddy's fine, baby"

“Then why are you crying...you made my daddy cry”

Melissa glared at me.

Ifelt like being immature and saying something like he made me cry first but I decided against it.

“Melissa, don't be disrespectful to your auntie”

“Auntie?”

Melissa looked me up and down before her beautiful green eyes narrowed on my face.

“She looks like me, is she daddy's sister? the one who he said went on a vacation for a little while?”

A vacation? really, Luca?.

I thought to myself whilst rolling my eyes.

“Yeah, this is your daddy's sister and your namesake"

He says with a smile whilst looking me in my eyes.

Dylan then stepped closer to me and I kept a very wary eye on him.

“Lacey, can we talk, please? L.I wanna explain what happened and I wanna apologise to you"

“I don't care about your explanations, Dylan and I certainly don't care about your pathetic and probably fake apologies either”

Isaid angrily.

I once again turned to walk away but was stopped yet again by Dylan who grabbed me by my wrist except this time, his grip was tighter so I

couldn't shrug him off.

“Dylan, let go of me"

Not

He said sternly.

“Dylan, let go of me, now before I emasculate you in front of your daughter”

I growled under my breath as I narrowed my eyes between Melissa and Dylan.

“No, I'm not gonna let you go until you listen to me and hear me out"

"What's to hear out, Dylan?"

Task confused.

I once again narrowed my eyes to my niece who was looking at us both with a confused yet wary expression before looking back at my ex

and lowering my voice so only he could hear me.

“You're my ex who screwed my own brother on our engagement night because you were too much of a coward and you weren't man

enough to tell me beforehand that you were batting on the other side of the fence, so please tell me, what is there to explain?”

I growled at him.

Dylan and I had a staring contest if you will as he looked at me with a shocked expression.

I don't know why he'd look so shocked because what I said is the truth, he is a coward and he isn't a real man if he can't even tell the truth

about his sexuality to someone whom he claimed to love so much.

Maybe he didn't love me...as a girlfriend, a fiancee, a friend or a potential sister-in-law, maybe I'm a fool to think he did.

“Lacey please, you don't understand how guilty I feel for how I treated you and so does Luca, Luca's been..."

"A pathetic, selfish, drunken mess, yeah I know, I saw the pictures and the videos of him falling out of a club, oh and the one of him with the

drag queen...I bet you weren't happy about that, were you?"

Isaid with a smirk and he glared at me.

“Don't be a jealous b***h, Lacey, it doesn't suit you"

He says and I chuckle.

“Jealous? you think I'm jealous of you and Luca?"

“Well, why else would you be acting like this?"

“Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because a boy who I grew up with, who was my best friend, who I fell in love with, who I thought was going to

be my husband and the father of my children..."

I'said as I once again looked down at Melissa who was listening to us intently before glaring back at Dylan.

Iknew she and my nephews were blameless in this and I didn't wanna destroy her view of her fathers, so I was trying to watch what I said

around her.

“Formed a special relationship with my brother and they had that secret relationship behind my back for god knows how long...maybe that's

why I'm acting like such a bit..maybe that's why I'm acting like this, Dylan, did that ever cross your mind? that maybe I'm like this because I

was betrayed by two men who I loved so much?"

Iasked while glaring at him as tears started to form in my eyes.

“As for me being jealous, Dylan, I'm far from being jealous of you two because I've got myself a real man, a man who doesn't lie and keep

secrets from me, a man who loves me more than life itself and a man who isn't afraid to go for what he wants, he saw me, he took me and

he married me and he didn't do it because he was being forced to by our fathers or because he's hiding his sexuality from the world, no he

married me because he LOVES me and I love him more than I ever loved you"

I'said with a genuine smile on my face as I thought about my beautiful husband and his infinite love for me as well as my infinite love for

him.

My thoughts were interrupted however by several familiar voices.

"What the hell?"

“Oh my god, Lacey baby, is that you?"

“Lacey, you're married”

Jesus Christmas, not these assholes as well

I narrow my eyes to my right where my parents, my brothers and my sister-in-law are all standing.

They all looked shocked yet relieved to see me, well, except for my dad who looked stoic which was odd because my dad was never afraid

to show his emotions or wear his heart on his sleeve but now he seems hesitant to.

My dad was also sporting a nice big bruise on his jaw, wonder how he got that?.

“Nanny, gramps, daddy look, it's auntie Lacey, she's back from her vacation"

Melissa says as she runs over to Luca who picks her up whilst continuing to look at me.

I'snatched my hand away from Dylan and glared at him before narrowing my glare to my ‘family’.

"Yes, it's me, I'm back”

“Oh, my baby"

My mom says as she comes over to me and wraps her arms around me but I didn't wrap my arms around her, instead, I just stood there

frozen with my eyes raised to god.

Probably sensing she wasn't gonna get a positive reaction from me, my mom pulled away from me and held me at arm's length as she

looked at me with a sad and hurt expression.

"Can't you give your mother a hug, Lacey? it's been six years after all”

Really? it's been that long? I didn't notice.

“No, I thought I'd give you the same response you gave me after my dad slapped me across my face for not wanting to marry my cheating

fiancee, you know frozen, emotionless, kind of acting like the three monkeys, hear nothing, see nothing, speak nothing"

I growled and she looked at me shocked.

“Lacey baby, I'm 50 sorry”

Hmm, I bet you are.

I thought to myself whilst rolling my eyes.

“I'm sorry, did I hear you wrong? or did you say you were married, Lace?"

Liam asks me and I nod my head.

“Yes, Liam, I'm married”

Isaid while smiling genuinely at my brother before turing that genuine smile into a sarcastic and angry one as I glared at my dad.

“Sorry if my marriage destroys any plans you may have made to sell me off to the highest bidder, dad"

“LLI never."

He said and I interrupted him because I wasn't interested in hearing his bullshit.

“Anyway, I'm a married woman now, a happily married woman which is more than can be said for you, Luc...you look like s**t"

I'said the last part whilst looking him up and down.

“Lacey Carpenter, watch your language"

“Actually, dad, I'm no longer a Carpenter, thank god for that"

Isaid with relief and happiness in my tone.

“If you're not a Carpenter then what are you? and who the hell is your husband?"

Justin growled and I couldn't help but smirk when I heard the sexy, husky voice of my beloved man coming from behind me.

“That would be me"

Logan said and my whole family watched in shock as my husband walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist as he kissed

the crook of her neck.

“Isn't that right, Mrs Black?”

“Mmm-hmm"

Isaid with a smile as I closed my eyes and bit down on my lower lip when Logan lifted his head out of my neck and kissed my forehead.

Fuck, I love this man so much.

Ithought to myself as I looked over at my family.

“You guys remember Logan, right?"

Iasked and I couldn't help but smirk even bigger and brighter at not only their shocked looks but also their angry expressions as well.

My happiness and glee didn't last long however when all hell broke loose.

My eldest brother Justin attacked Logan and the pair started fighting hitting each other with hard lefts and rights.

“Justin, get off him"

I growled at my brother and attempted to pull him off my husband but I was stopped by my mom.

"Lacey honey, stay back, you might get hurt"

"Are you kidding me, mom? that's my husband”

I growled at her.

“I don't care, you're my daughter and I don't want you getting hurt"

It's too late for that, mom.

Iran a hand through my hair as several people including Liam, Luca and a couple of security guards tried to break up the fight but failed

miserably.

It was only when a tiny yet very angry voice boomed throughout the room that the fighting stopped as we all stood there in shock but

none more so than myself and Logan.

“HEY, GET OFF MY DAD!I"
