Chapter Sixty Six

Cyrus

The next day, we all head to the offices to see my father. He doesn’t seem surprised when I present him with the paperwork that will sign over his half of the company. He hates it here, so we are buying him out, hoping it will lessen his stress and he can finally do whatever he wants.

When he signs it, he smiles.

“I hope you find your happiness again, Dad. You supported us when we needed you, but we don’t need you in that way anymore, Dad. What we do need, however, is for you to be happy again. So find that, find the person who helps.” I look at Blair and she smiles. “We did.” I look back to see him smiling at her then.

He stands and shakes my hand. “I’m so very proud of all of you. I can’t wait to see what you will achieve. You as well, Blair. You are a very talented, determined young woman. Thank you for loving my sons and giving them a chance to show you the love they have to offer. You’re right, I’m not happy, but I want to be.”

“Good.” Blair steps forward, takes my hand, and nods at him. “Go find it. Life’s too fucking short.” Winking, she looks back at Bray and Asher. “Find it, even if it’s unconventional, even if it scares you—the best things always do. You can’t take money with you, and at the end, all that matters is who is at your side.”

“You’re right,” he agrees, nodding at her. “Smart, this one. Keep her.”

“I plan to,” I murmur as I look down at her.

With the papers signed, we leave our dad there. We will still see him, but I’m hoping he does find happiness, whatever that means. He gave up everything for us, built this empire with us, and was hurt, betrayed all in the name of our family. He gave us each other, he gave us family, and now he needs to find his own.

Our next stop was Blair’s idea. She wanted a tattoo as well. Not the one we have, but she won’t tell us the design. As we watch her get inked, I admire the grinning woman staring at my brothers with so much love I can see it in her eyes.

She never asked us to change, not once, but we want to. For her. It’s time we stepped up. I’m not saying we are going to be perfect, she fell in love with the bad boys of Crew, after all, and that’s what we will always be, but we finally have a bright future ahead of us. We finally have something and someone to fight and plan for... with her. And that’s what we will do.

We can be anything in this world.

But all I want to be is hers.

Bray

We do everything together now, and although we grew up in this house and have good memories, I know it also holds bad memories for all of us, so without telling them, I take them to a plot of land.

“Okay, dirt... Are we mud wrestling?” Blair laughs, turning to see the huge plot of land. It’s close to the city, but also high up to look over it and the incredible views.

“It’s ours,” I tell her. “If we want it.”

“For?” she asks.

“Us.” I shrug and look at my brothers. “A full new start. A house designed just for us. Can you see it? We could have a pool and a bar for parties, a dance studio for Blair, a studio for Asher, and a garage for Cyrus.” I turn and point at places, and when I look back, Blair appears shocked.

“A house?”

“Our own, no bad memories, only good. What do you think, Darling? Want to build a house with us?”

With a squeal, she runs and leaps at me, making me laugh as I catch her. My hands go to her ass to hoist her up as she kisses me. When she pulls back, I chuckle. “I take that as a yes?”

“Yes!” she yells, and I turn her to face the others.

“What do you think, brothers? Want to build a place just for us?”

“I love it, the lighting is perfect here,” Asher comments with a grin. “Good work, brother.”

“Cyrus?” I ask as he looks around critically.

“I like it. It’s a great idea, somewhere new... somewhere we can be together. Our own haven. It will have to have security, of course, but... yes. Let’s buy it.”

I whoop and dance Blair around as they laugh.
