Chapter 26: She's Not Stupid

**Jax**

Trent stood to my right. Sean and Colt stood to my left. Piper and her sisters were sequestered behind the house and would show themselves when the time was right. Isach and Chloe were in the house with Abby, ensuring she and the twins were safe inside the nursery. Wyatt and Whitney were in the living room and would be the first line of defense against anyone who might try to get past us.

And I stood in the middle of all of them with Heaven Leigh by my side. Because I'd been the one to find her sneaking around, and because I had the most volatile temper, we agreed I should be the one "holding her hostage" when Ivy arrived. Little did she know I'd given Isach - and everyone else - my word that I wouldn't kill Heaven Leigh, so she was as safe with me as she'd be with anyone else. But if she tried to double cross us, I wouldn't hesitate to end her.
