Chapter 604 - 21- Both – Business Trip (VOLU 4)

Reece
~~
About a week after the kids started school, I needed to get ready to leave on a business trip. I was worried about going though, since my Little Bunny looked even more exhausted than she had before. I couldn't even sll her scent anymore, all that I could sll when I was near her was the stench of exhaustion.
I had suggested to her that she should see Griffin for her headaches, but she had refused. She had said that they weren't bad enough to bother Griffin with them. I didn't really believe that since I had seen her rubbing her temples several tis over the last few days.
I knew she was suffering, but she wouldn't let help her. She wouldn't talk to about it. She was just bottling it all up inside and ignoring it instead of talking to about it.
Dammit! Why wouldn't she talk to ? Why wouldn't she tell what was going on with her? Did she not trust anymore? Did I do sothing to make her lose faith in ? What had happened between us?
I didn't have too much ti to mull over this, though. I needed to get ready to go. I needed to prepare and that ant informing her staff of a few things before I left.
I talked to Vincent, who I knew would be with my Little Bunny while I was away for the next two days. I told him to keep an eye on her, to make sure she ate, slept, and did what she needed to do.
Lately, I was sure that she was working at night so that she could spend the afternoons and evenings after school with the kids. Ever since the first day of school it was like she was three tis busier than she had been before.
Hadn't she hired like half a dozen new staff mbers so that she didn't have to work like this? Why was she still putting so much work on herself? Ugh! This was so frustrating.

Reece was getting ready to leave for a couple of days. He was going on a business trip to et with all the top executives at the sub companies that he owned. It was sothing to do with a mass rger or sothing, I didn't really know for sure since I had been so busy myself.
I felt horrible that I didn't even know what was going on with my own husband and the company that he owned. That made feel like a terrible wife and it only made want to work harder and do better. I just knew that if I put my work on hold and spent more ti with the family during the evening, and then went back to work after they were in bed, then I would be able to know what was going on and I could be a better wife, a better mother, and a better queen. I needed to do better all around. I needed to do everything that I possibly could.
The kids were taking the bus to school now that it wasn't the first day. Reece and I saw them off to the bus together, then it was ti for him to leave. He wouldn't be here when the kids got ho today so I needed to be extra attentive and help the kids tonight. I needed to be twice the Mommy for family ti tonight. I could do it. I had to do it.
"Are you sure that you're going to be OK?" Reece asked as he cupped my cheeks in his large hands and looked into my eyes.
"Why wouldn't I be OK?" I smiled at him and made my eyes as calm as I could, even as the voice repeated its words in my head again, over and over.
'If he leaves you will lose it all. They will die. They will all die. They will all die. They will all die. They will all die. They will all die. They will all die. They will all die.' The words were becoming aningless to but they were still annoying.
"I don't know, Little Bunny, I just worry about you. I know you've been taking on a lot of work lately and I know that you're so tired. I think you need to talk to Griffin, or Lana, or even Juniper. Please, baby, please talk to soone." He was begging like he knew the truth of what had been in my head lately. Wait? Did he know? Had he figured it out already. What was I going to do about this?
"I'm fine, Reece. I promise you that I am fine. If things don't get better soon, then I will talk to Griffin, OK."
"Promise?" He looked so heartbroken and so worried, that I knew right then and there that he knew that I was going crazy.
"Yes, I promise. I don't want to worry you anymore, alright? When you co back, we will talk about it then. But, please, don't worry about during your trip. You need to focus on your work."
"No, I need to focus on you. You're more important than work. I am only going on this trip because you insisted on it. I could have sent soone else in my stead." His voice was filled with anger, but I don't think it was directed solely at .
"You are the big boss, the head honcho, the top dog, you need to be the one to go Reece. It's important."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." He was sulking now. It was funny sotis, to watch his mood flip flop like this.
"Don't worry, I will be here waiting for you when you get back. And who knows, I might just be more rested by then as well. I am going to try and give more work to the others soon."
"You'd better."
He kissed then. A deep kiss that showed how much he loved . I can't believe that I ever doubted that part of him. He was my mate, my husband, my everything. I needed to trust in him.
After that, I watched him leave. He walked out the front door, down the steps of the castle and got into the SUV limo that was waiting for him. I thought about that for a minute, about how that little part of our routine hadn't changed. Whenever we leave, we always leave through the front door and almost always leave in a big black SUV of one type or another.
Seeing this was nostalgic and made smile. I thought about how little had changed, and that alone made feel like I could deal with even more than I usually did. Knowing that despite everything, we were still the sa people deep down.
Those thoughts made know that the voice wasn't real and that it couldn't hurt . I was the sa person that I always was, and I wasn't going to cause people to die. I wasn't that type of person. I never could do sothing like that.
OK, I might be stretching a bit here, but I needed sothing to give strength.
