Tessa's P.O.V:
"You're parents..." Marshall says, making me sigh as I walk over to him and turn my back towards him. "As in your mom and dad?" He says as he pulls the zipper to my dress up. 

"Yes, my mom and dad. And my brothers and Karla and Chris and Nick." I sigh as I hand him my necklace. 

"Why?" He asks. 

"What's with all the questions?" I ask as he places the gold chain around my neck. 

"You've never brought up your mom and dad before." He shrugs as I fix the necklace around my neck and walk into my closet. 

"Iris! We need to leave!" I shout. "I have mentioned them." I state as I walk into my closet and look through the few pairs of heels I left here before I moved in with Marshall. 

"You haven't." Marshall says, making me sigh. 

"Well. What do you want to know?" I ask as I grab my heels and sit down on the stool. 

"I don't know. Anything." Marshall shrugs as he leans against the door frame. 

"I don't know anything either." I look up and watch Iris walk into the room. My eyes scan her jeans and black shirt, making me frown. 

"Why aren't you dressed?" I ask. 

"I am dressed." She says.

"Why aren't you wearing the dress that I gave you, Iris?" I sigh.

'I'm not the dress type of girl." She shrugs, making me roll my eyes. 

"Please Iris, just wear it on." I say as I stand up and walk past them to grab my jacket. 

"Look what she's making me wear." I hear Marshall, making me roll my eyes.

Marshall looks handsome in a suit so I dont know what the big deal is. I don't think Marshall and Iris understand how posh and fancy my family really is. 

Espically my mom and dad. I don't think I have ever seen my dad dressed in anything other than a suit and I don't think I have ever seen my mom wear anything else but her gowns and dresses. 

That's how fancy they are!

"Fine. I'll wear it." Iris says. "But can you tell me about your parents first please." She says.

"In the car. Now hurry up. My dad hates it when people are late." I say as I grab my jacket and walk past them and out of my room, leaving Marshall and Iris alone.

I walk down the stairs and grab the keys to my escalade before I walk out of my home. The four guards mumble something to me as the wave and nod. I smile at all of them and quickly get into the driver seat and slam the door shut. I let out small sigh and sink down into my seat.

It's been two weeks since I last saw my mom in New York and two weeks since we told the whole world about adopting Iris and life has been crazy ever since! 

Iris had to be schooled at home by a private teacher and Marshall and I could barley leave the mansion since the entrance was blocked by fans and paparazzi who slept outside in the cold night. 

The only person who was allowed into gates were Nick, Nathan, Blaire, our managers and that's about it. Marshall didn't let Kim bring their daughters, instead he would go to Kim's to visit them. 

Today is the day I reunite with my family. Jacob said that he would be there along with Andrew, Liam, our mom and our dad. He didnt mention anything about Leonardo, Alexander, Michael and Jay so I didn't ask. 

I asked Karl, Chris and Nick to tag alone and all of us agreed to meet at my parents house. I didn't want iris to come at first incase something crazy happened but my brothers and mom want her there. 

I talked to my dad over the phone and to my suprise, he didn't mention the whole Gayle thing and why I left. Instead, he asked about Iris and Marshall. He wanted to know every single thing about them.

I press my horn down on my hand and let out a sigh. Marshall walks out of the front door with Iris right behind him. I sit up in my seat and start the engine as they get in. 

"I thought I was driving?" Marshall asks as he slides into the passengers seat. 

"Yeah well, you don't know your way around." I state. "Iris, you buckled in?" I ask as I pull on my belt. 

"Yep!" Iris says. 

"Good. Let's get going." I sigh. 

***

"She's beautiful." Chris says as he hugs me. 

"She is, isn't she." I mumble against his chest as we hug. If only he knew this whole adopting Iris thing is for the contract.

"You ready?" Jacob asks, making me pull away from Chris.

"Yeah. Let's go." I force a smile onto my lips. Jacob nods once and turns his back towards us and leads the way. 

"You'll be fine." Marshall whispers as he wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer to kiss me. 

"I hope so." I mumble as I watch Jacob and Iris talk to eachother.

Security nod at Jacob as we walk towards the metal gate. Jacob shouts out an order in spanish at the security guards in the sheds before the gates slowly slide open, revealing my childhood home.

"Damn." I hear Marshall mumble. 

"You grew up here?" I hear Iris ask Jacob as we walk past the guards and into my family's property. 

"Sure did." Jacob nods. 

"Just ignore my dad-" I start but get cut off by Marshall. 

"Yeah, I know. You told me at least a billion times." Marshall says. "You want me to ignore your dad, your mom and your brothers if they say anything-" Marshall starts but gets cut off. 

"My father won't say anything to you, I can grantee you that." Jacob says. "He's...excited to meet you and Iris." He adds. 

"Excited....Well that doesn't sound like my dad." I say. 

"I agree." Karla mumbles.

"Jacob." I look away from Karla and my eyes lock onto my fathers grey ones. "Tessa." He smiles. 

Marshall's P.O.V:
Mr Black kisses Tessa on her hair one final time as they let go of eachother. She steps back towards me and take my hand in hers as she wipes the tears running down her cheek with the other hand. 

"You must be my future son in law...Marshall, correct?" Mr Black says as he reaches his hand out for me to shake.

"Yeah. It's good to meet you Mr Black." I say as we shake hands. 

"Likewise son, likewise." He says as he tightens his grip around my hand, making me bite down on my cheek to prevent me from yelling out in pain. 

"Padre...You can let go of his hand now." Jacob says as he places his hand on his dad's shoulder. 

{Translation: Father}

Mr Black clears his throat and let's go of my hand as he nods once. He looks away from me and his eyes land on Karla and then Chris and Nick.

"Nicklaus. Son." He chuckles and stretches his arms out. 

"Mr Black." Nick nods once. 

"Oh come on." He says as he waves him over with one hand. Tessa clears her throat as she turns to face Nick and widens her eyes at him, gesturing for Nick to hug her dad. "It's good to see you again." Mr Black chukles as Nick and him hug. "It's good too see all of you again." He says as he lets go off Nick and embraces Karla and Chris in a tight hug. 

"Wish we could say the same." Karla mumbles but Mr Black ignores her and turns to face Tessa. 

"So. Where is she? Where is my grandaughter?" Mr Black laughs. "Where is Irin?" He asks. 

"Iris. Her names Iris." I state. 

"Ah...Well yes, it's an uncommon name....Iris...Who would name their daughter Iris?" He asks, making me clench my jaw in anger. 

"Papa-" Tessa starts but gets cut off. 

"I'm only joking, sweetheart. Your last fiancé knows a thing or two about jokes....This one's on edge-" Mr Black starts but gets cut off by Jacob. 

"Iris. Meet your grandad." Jacob says quickly as he steps aside, revealing Iris. 

"Ah...There she is." Mr Black clears his throat.

"Iris. Meet my father, Sylvester Black." Jacob says as he gestures towards Mr Black. 

"Sylvester." Iris repeats. 

"It's Sylvester, sweetheart." Mr Black corrects her..

"Ah...Well yes. It's an uncommon name. Who would name their son Sylvester." She says imitating Mr Black. I bite down on the inside of my cheek to stop me from smirking and I notice Karla, Chris and Nick trying to hide their own amusement. Tessa and Jacob both look shocked as they stare at Iris with wide eyes. 

"My parents didn't name me. I was an orphan." Mr Black states. 

"Yeah well so was I." Iris shrugs. 

"Iris." I clear my throat.

"This is not how people in our family talk to their elders, Tessa." Mr Black says as he turns to face Tessa. 

"I know Papa. I'm sorry." Tessa says awkwardly.

"If you want to be part of this family then I suggest you learn some manners, sweetheart." Mr Black says. 

"As far as I know, Tessa and Marshall adopted me. You didn't come into the family picture until now." Iris says as she folds her arms across her chest. 

"Iris." Tessa says quickly. "Papa...Let's go inside." She adds. 

"Yeah...It's kinda chilly out here." Nick says. 

"Padre...Let's go." Jacob says. Mr Black looks away from Iris and walks next to Jacob towards the mansion. 

"I hate him." Iris huffs. 

"You're not the only one." I mumble.

"Just ignore him." Tessa whispers. 

Tessa's P.O.V:
"Can I ask you something?" I say, making Liam quickly slam his laptop shut before he grabs the files on his desk and throws them in the draw and slams the draw shut. 

"Tess." Liam clears his throat. "I didn't hear you come." He adds.

It's been around half an hour since we came here. Mom just served us all drinks and everyone's in the living room, talking away. I already met Liam, he was the first one that opened the door for us. Andrew just came a few minutes ago. 

"What are you hiding?" I smile lightly as I place my wine glass on the counter. 

"Office stuff." Liam clears his throat. "Just a new FBI case. Looking for a missing person....Possibly a kindap....Or a murder." He adds. 

"Really..." I say slowly.

"Yeah. Secret stuff...Can't tell you anything." He adds.

"If this is about a possible murder or kidnap then...Why is our brothers name on here." I say as I pull out a brown file under his laptop. "Jay Black." I sigh.

"You caught me." He mumbles as he takes the file off me. "Forget about this." He sighs. "So...What did you want to ask me?" He asks.

"Actually...I wanted to ask you about Jay." I state. 

"Tess-" He starts before I quicky cut in. 

"I'm just wondering. Leonardo, Micheal and Alexander don't want to talk to me....Andrew, Jacob and you do. Jay...I....I just never hear about him." I shrug.

"That's because he doesn't want to be heard about." He states as he stands up. 

"How do you know?" I ask. 

"He told me." Liam shrugs as he takes out all the files from the draw and places them in his leather bag. 

"Then why are you going through his files?" I ask. 

"What's up with all the questions?" He chuckles. 

"I'm just....I don't know. I miss him." I sigh. 

"Yeah well you're not the only one, I miss him like crazy too." Liam says. 

"Is that why you're going through his files? Are you trying to find him?" I ask.

"Yes and no." He says, making me knit my brows together in confusion. "I'm not finding him for myself, the last thing he wants is to talk to one of us again." He explains. "I'm doing this for his girlfriend." He says.

"His girlfriend..." I repeat slowly. As far as I know, Jay could never keep one girl. Him and Jacob were players.

"Turns out, he used to date some blonde chick in Florida. She said that he lives in the UK now. Jay would come visit her every other week and randomly he just....stopped." He says the last part slowly as he stares off at the far wall. "Anyway..." He clears his throat. "I'm doing this for her. I'm finding Jay for her. She just...I don't know, I feel sorry for her, she comes here all the time when she knows i'm back home from work. She hasn't shown up yet since I just got back from New York two days ago but I know she's going to show up any second." He says before it goes quiet between us.

"I just don't understand....How can he just walk away and not send a letter or make a phone call?" I say. Liam looks away from me and shifts in his seat uncomfortably. "Liam." I say slowly as I stand up straight.

"Hmm?" Liam clears his throat and stands up from the high stool. "I'm going to see what everyone else is doing." He says.

"Liam. You know something that I don't." I state as I step infront of him. "You're hiding something." I add.

"What? Don't be ridiculous." He says as he walks around me.

"Oh no you don't." I say quickly and step infront of him again, making him sigh. "You know something. Tell me....What are you hiding from me?" I ask as I fold my arms across my chest and look up at my big brother.

"Vas a buscarme en problemas." Liam whispers.

{Translation: You are going to get me in trouble.}

"Usted sabe que puede confiar en mí." I whisper back. Liam holds my gaze for a few seconds before he runs his finger through his hair and let's out a small sigh.

{Translation: You know you can trust me.}

"Multa! Pero no aquí." He says as he takes my hand and leads me towards the back door that leads out to the garden.

{Translation: Fine! But not here.}

***

I climb up the wooden ladder that leads to the tree house that we made with our father when we were little kids. Liam pulls me up before he sits down on the chair in the corner.

"I was....15 when I last came here." I say.

"I come here everyday with Micheal and Alexanders kids." Liam tells me as I look around the three house.

"So...Tell me." I say as I cross my arms across my chest, making him sigh.

"Jay didn't leave." Liam says without making eye contact with me.

"If he didn't leave....then where is he?" I say slowly. "Is he-" My face drops and my heart starts the bang against my ribcage faster and faster.

"No....Jesus christ, no Tess. Our brother is alive and well." He says making me let out a sigh of relief.

"Then what do you mean when you say he didn't leave....Is he here?" I ask in confusion.

"No. He's far...far away from here." Liam mumbles as he leans foward and runs his fingers through his hair. "Jay didn't leave...He was kicked out." Liam says after a long pause.

"What....What are you talking about?" I say in confusion.

"Father, Andrew and Alexander kicked him out." He states, making my heart drop a little.

"That can't be true." I shake my head. "Jay never used to come home...He would only come home when the cops would bring him home." I state. "He left himself." I add.

"No. He didn't. They kicked him out. Left him bloody out in the cold." Liam says.

"They wouldn't do that." I shake my head.

"They kicked you out, didn't they?" He says, finally looking up at me.

"But what did Jay do?" I ask.

"He believed you." Liam says. "He believed you and he tried to....Hurt.....Gayle when he was sleeping in the guest room." He explains.

"What do you mean by hurt?" I ask.

"Jay tried to soffocate Gayle with a pillow." He says, making me look away from his watery eyes. "Like I said, nobody can know about this, sis." He adds.

"Jay believed me." I say slowly as I blink away tears.

"Yeah." I hear Liam whisper.

"He believed me when no one else did." I state. "So...Why didn't he come to me? Why didn't he tell me?" I ask as I run my shaky fingers through my hair.

"He was threatened by Papa and Alexander." He says.

"Tessa! Liam! Cena está en la mesa!" We hear Jacob yell.

{Translation: Dinner is on the table.}

"Estamos llegando, nos dan un segundo!" Liam shouts back.

{Translation: We are coming. Give us a second}

"¿Por qué estás en la casa del árbol?" We hear Jacob say before he starts to climb the ladder. "What are you? Kids?" He asks as he climbs up.

{Translation: Why are you in the tree house?}

"Tess just wanted to see the tree house." Liam shrugs. "Ain't that right, T?" He asks. When I don't answer he clears his throat.

"Right." I nod. "Let's go, Papa hates it when he's left waiting." I add.

***

"He told you that?" Andrew asks. "Why would he tell you that?" Andrew whispers.

"That's besides the point!" I hiss. "You ruined our brothers life!" I add.

"It was a long time ago. Now that I know the truth, I regret it!" He whisper shouts.

"If you regret it then go fix it." I whisper before I walk away with the salad bowl in my hand.

I place the salad bowl in the middle of the table before I sit down on a chair next to Jacob and Marshall, Iris sits down on the other side of Marshall. Karla, Chris and Nick sits across us.

"What the hell was that about?" Jacob asks.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I clear my throat.

"Sylvester. Will you say the prayer." Mom says as she sits down across him, at the other end of the table.

"Why don't we wait for everyone else to come first." Dad suggests.

"I think everyone's here, Padre." Jacob says.

"Aren't your wife and kids coming?" Dad asks.

"No." Jacob shakes his head. "I would never bring them to this hell whole." I hear him mumble under his breath.

"What was that son?" Dad raises his brow.

"What? I didn't way anything, padre."  Jacob clears his throat. He notices me trying to hide my amusement and kicks me under the table.

"What about Amy and the kids, Andrew?" Dad asks.

"They're busy, padre." Andrew says.

"No one wants to bring their family to this hell hole." Jacob whispers to me. "You should run with yours whilst you have the chance." He adds, making me elbow him.

"Well, i'm sure they can make time for family dinner." Mom says.

"Amy is at the hospital, she had to do an emergency surgery." Andrew explains.

"What about Caleb and Angela?" Mom asks.

"They're busy." Andrew states.

"With what?" Dad asks.

"Caleb has football practice and Angela is...studying for her exams." He says the last part slowly.

"Oh...Well, it's been a while since I last saw them." Dad says.

"I'll bring them around as soon as they're free, padre." Andrew says.

"Karla, Chris how is your son?" Dad asks.

"He's good." Chris says.

"He's great." Karla nods at the same time. You guessed it, Karla is also not a big fan of my dad....She's not a fan of my whole family!

"Why didn't you bring him?" Mom asks.

"He was busy." Karla lies.

Even Karla doesn't want her son around my family!

"He's a child, what could he possibly be busy with? Building legos?" Dad raises his brow. "Why didn't you bring him?" Dad asks.

"Papa, please just leave it." I say.

"I'm just curious, love. It's like no one wants to be here." Dad says, making Jacob sighs.

"Let's dig in." Jacob says as he rubs his hands together and reaches for the roast chicken, only to be slapped on the back of the hand by mom.

"Primero oramos." Mom says sternly, making Jacob hold his hand up in defense.

{Translation: First we pray}

"Truth be told, Mr Black." Karla says.

"Karlz." Chris coughs but Karla just ignores him.

"I don't want our son around you and I don't want you around our son." Karla says, making my dad clench his jaw. "I don't want him no where near this dump that you call a home." She adds.

"Oh yes?" Dad clears his throat as he fills up his glass with champagne. "Then why are you here?" Dad asks.

"For Tessa." She shrugs.

"Tessa can look after herself. She doesn't need you to follow her like a lost puppy." Dad says, slightly raising his voice.

"Papa!" I say quickly.

"Padre, this is supposed to be a dinner where we welcome Iris into our family." Liam says.

"Tell me, Karla. Why are you here?" Dad asks.

"I'm here for Tessa. I'm here to protect her." Karla says.

"Protect her?" Dad chuckles in disbelief.

"Karlz...Leave it." Nick says but gets ignored.

"Yeah." She shrugs. "You know, incase some shit goes down." She adds.

"And what do you mean by that?" Dad asks.

"Hello!" We hear a woman shout.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" Liam groans.

Probably Jay's girlfriend. Liam said she would come any second.

Everybody turns their attention towards the doorway as we listen to the sound of heels clicking against the tiled floors. A blond haired woman that's dressed in a hot pink dress that reaches her knees walks in.

"I'm not interupting am I?" The woman says.

"Well...This dinners gone to shit." Jacob mumbles as he turns back around and reaches for the roast chicken. This tome mom doesn't slap his hand away or say anything when he starts to eat.

"No. Of course not." Dad clears his throat.

"Oh. Tessa...And...Oh, you're that famous rapper, Eminem!" She squeals the last part as she claps her hands.

She's the squealing type....The type that Jay used to mock.

"Violet-" Dad starts but stops talking when she walks towards me and throws her arms around me.

"It's so good to finally meet you Tessa!" She squeals as she rocks me side to side with her hug. "Hi, my names Violet." She says as she stands back up and holds her hand out for me to take. "I'm-" She starts but gets cut off.

"My brothers girlfriend." I finish off as I shake her hand. "Nice to meet you." I smile.

"Oh." She laughs. "You're so funny." She says as she pats my head like i'm some kind of dog. "But don't worry...I get that alot. You know, with the age gap." She says.

"Right...Well, i'm sure you would. Espically when it comes to my brother. He never used to have girlfriends.....He was more of the having fun type of guy." I say, making her laugh again, only this time louder and harder. "Did...I say something funny." I say slowly as I glance at Jacob and back at Violet.

"She's so cute!" Violet says.

"Tess." Andrew says.

"Hmm?" I turn to face him.

"Meet our fathers girlfriend, Violet." He says, making my jaw drop.

Iris starts to choke on her juice the same time Karla's eyes go wide in shock and as for Marshall, Nick and Jacob, they all stay speechless as they glance between my father and his girlfriend who is younger than me.

"Violet, take a seat love." Dad clears his throat. I turn to face mom who's looking down at her lap.

She looks so...broken...

"Padre! Padre! Where the hell are you!" My heart drops a little at Micheals voice.

We were always so close. Micheal was there for me through everything. Living with seven brother was tough. They would always be doing guy stuff and would leave me out but not Micheal.

Micheal would hang out with me. Andrew and Leonardo would always be together, Alexander and Liam would always be together and Jacob and Jay would alway be together which left me and Micheal and he was my bestfriend and my favorite brother...Until...I told him about Gayle.

Micheal didn't believe me because Gayle was like a father to him. Hell, they were together all the time. Our dad used to hardly come home so Gayle would spend time with us. Guess that's why it was so hard for them to believe me.

"You sick son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you." Leonardo shouts, making me knit my brows together. What did our dad do and why is Leonardo here? He lives in chicago.

"Padre..." Andrew stands up quickly, making his chair fall down.

"Sit down, son." Dad says.

"What did you do?" Liam asks.

"Nothing." Dad says.

"You call that nothing!" Leonardo walks in.

"Leo. Relax." Jacob stands up. "What are you doing here, man? Why ain't you in chicago?" He asks.

"No times for hello hugs now, Jakey." Leo says, without taking his eyes off dad.

"Tell me what he did." Jacob says.

"Explain, Leo." Andrew says.

"Good to see you too Andy." Leonardo mumbles.

"Why are you here-" Jacob starts but gets cut off by Micheal.

"I called him." Micheal walks in.

"What for? What's going on?" Liam asks.

"I got a call from Micheal and he told me what padre had done, so I dropped everything and booked a flight." Leonardo says in anger. "As so-" He carries but stops talking when a phone starts to ring. "Turn that shit off!" He shouts.

"Ask nicely and I will." Iris shouts back, making Liams eyes go wide.

Damn it, Iris. You do not want to get on the wrong side of Leonardo. Espically when he is pissed.

For the first time since Leonardo and Micheal walked in, their eyes land on Iris and then Marshall and then me. Micheal slowly rises up as he looks up at me in confusion.

"Tessa." He says in disbelief.

"Hi." I say quietly.

Hi? Really.

"What are you doing here?" Leonardo asks.

"I...M-madre." I clear my throat and shift in my seat. Like I said, you don't want to get on the wrong side of Leonardo.

"We invited her." Andrew states.

"Why?" Leonardo say quickly.

"You better watch your tone with me, Leo." Andrew warns him.

I inhale in a sharp breath and sink down in my seat when Leronardo walks towards me. I get pulled up by my arm, making Marshall quickly stand up along with Chris and Nick.

"Please don't-" I start but get cut off when he pulls me in for a big hug. He lets out a sigh as he kisses my hair and and hugs me.

"Why the hell are you here?" He asks, this time in a calm tone.

"Madre and Papa hosted dinner. They want to meet Iris." I explain and hug him back.

Just like everyone else, Leonardo didn't believe me either. Leronardo was always the scary brother, the brother that would get mad over small things. So you can imagine why i'm acting like a wuss.

"Why would you do that?" He shouts making me jump. He lets go off me and turns his back towards me.

"Leonardo. Micheal." Mom stays sternly. "Sit down. Eat and then we will talk like human beings and not like Perros!" She shouts.

{Translation: Dogs}

Both Micheal and Leonardo let out out a small sigh before they walk towards two empty chair that are seated next to mom. Micheal doesn't bother saying anything to me and awkwardly sits down.

"You must be Marshall." Leonardo says after a long pause. "My names Leonardo. It's nice to...finally meet you." He says as he reaches his hand foward.

"Yeah man, you too." Marshall shakes his hand. Leonardo reaches his hand towards Iris.

"No way." She snorts and crosses her arms across her chest.

"Iris." I clear my throat.

"He just yelled at me and now he wants to shake hands? What is he, bipolar?" She says as she turns to face me.

"Iris. Shake his hand." I hear Marshall mumble. "Now." He adds when she doesn't move.

"I'm Iris." Iris fake smiles and shakes his hand.

"Pleasure to meet you." Leonardo says as they shake hands.

"Yeah well, I wish I could say the same." She mumbles.

"Charming." Leonardo clears his throat.

"Madre the food is getting cold can we-" Jacob starts but get cut off.

"After we say a prayer." Mom says. "Sylvester?" Mom clears her throat but refuses to look up at her husband who is now dating a woman who is younger then me whilst he is married.

Dad doesn't say anything and holds his girlfriends hand as I hold Jacobs and Marshall's hand. Dad clears his throat as we bow our heads.

"I didn't know you were religious." Iris whispers.

"I'm not." I whispers back.

"Shhh!" Mom hushes us before dad starts to speak.

"God our father, lord and savior.
Thank you for-" He starts but gets interupted.

"Sylvester!" My heart drops at the sound of the fimilar deep voice.

"Padre!" Alexander shouts.

I open my eyes and glance up at Karla who's already looking at me as she shakes her head in anger. Jacob grips onto my hand tigher, almost as if he's protecting me.

From the corner of my eyes, I see all of my brothers shoot up from their seats, including Nick. Jacob keeps a tight hold on my hand as he raises up slowly.

I swallow the lump in my throat as I hold onto Jacobs and Marshall's hand tight. I hear footsteps before I hear the deep voice again, only this time his voice is more loud and clear. I can never forget his voice.

"This is what I meant when I said I was here incase some shit went down." Karla says.

"Sylvester. There you are." The deep voice says.

"Gayle. Is there something wrong, buddy?" Dad says.

Sorry for the really shitty and really late update! I have tried to edit this chapter so many times but since my laptop doesn't work properly, it kept shutting down on me and my edited chapter wouldn't get saved.

Please excuse any mistakes I have made in the translations and other things. Thank you for being patient with me, although this chapter is mainly about Tessa and not Tessa and Marshall, I promise this chapter leads to their relationship.

Don't forget to share, comment and like!

Byeeeeee!
