My CEO 94

94 My Way (Jayden)

"Daddy! I saw Mommy. I miss her." Abby cries out when she comes in the door with Anne. My heart goes out to her, but I must maintain this façade.

I scoop up Abby and hug her. "I'm glad you got to see Mommy."

Anne watches me closely. She's vehemently loyal to Winona and Abby. So Winona is back in the townhouse. Good. I know she's under house arrest until the case is over.
