All On Contract

Chapter 76 - Now You Know

Tessa's P.O.V:
Jacob sits down next to Micheal and leans back into the couch before he turns his attention towards Liam and Alexander who are looking through a stack of folders that they have been busy with since he left.

"Madre, you can rest now." I say.

"No." I hear mom say as she carries on massaging my forehead. "You have been up all night, it's time for you to rest." She says, making me shake my head.

"I'm fine." I state.

"You look like a zombie." Jacob states. "Go take a nap." He adds.

"I'm fine." I repeat.

"Alright." Liam sighs as he tilts his head back and rub his neck. "There. Keep it safe because i'm not looking through this dump again." He adds as he stands up and hands a file to Alexander.

"What is this anyway?" Leonardo asks as he walks in with Andrew behind him.

"FBI shit. Not for civilians to see-" Alexander explains but gets cut off by Andrew.

"Not for civilians my ass." Andrew says as he snatches the paper out of Alexanders hand, making Jacob chuckle.

"Shut the fuck up, Jakey." Alexander rolls his eyes.

"Alexander!" Mom tuts, making Jacob chuckle again as he sticks his finger up at Alexander.

"Who is Fredrick Louis James?" Andrew asks.

"A judge." Liam says.

"I already said i'm not going court." I shake my head.

"Then how do you expect him to be locked up behind bars?" Leonardo asks.

"The whole world well now about my it and-" I say but get cut off.

"So. Let them know." Micheal says. "The main thing is that bastard won't be able to come near you again." He adds.

"Yes, but-" I start and get cut off.

"He doesn't deserve the freedom he has, Tess." Chris says as he walks into the room with Karla and Marshall. "He doesn't deserve to be able to just walk around and to be happy....He doesn't deserve the luxury that he has." He adds.

I look away from Chris and refuse to make eye contact with anyone. I told my brothers this morning that I don't want to go to court and stand infront of judges and have the paparazzi all over me, they didn't agree and we got into the argument until mom sat us down and talked to us all.

They don't understand how it feels to be surrounded by paparazzi all the time when you go out or to be asked millions of questions or to be trapped in your own home because of the people camping outside, waiting for you to come out so they can take pictures and harass you by asking tons and tons of questions.

I thought I would have gotten my way but I guess not.

"Gayle is a powerful man." I state.

"And we work with the FBI." Alexander states.

"Alex is the boss of the department, T." Liam says. "Everything Alexander says happens within a blink of an eye." He adds.

"We can all help you." Leonardo states.

"And the public?" I say.

"I'll take care of it." Alexander says. "I'll make sure the case doesn't get out to the rest of the world." He adds.

"And what if-" I start but get cut off.

"What in the bloody hell happened to you!" Jacob shoots up from his chair. I look away from him and quickly get up at the sight of Nick.
