"Marco brought your stuff back while we were eating," Mace said offhandedly. "It's in the hallway."
I walked into the hallway and stopped dead. There were three huge boxes sitting there with soft things sticking out.
"What's this?"
"Go check it out," Geo urged, letting go of my hand.
Tentatively, I walked up and peeked into the boxes. There were blankets that I'd never chosen, but had run my hands over, pillows and cushions, and more.
"We had your room set up a little differently since you don't want to move to the nest," Finn told me. He walked past me and pushed open the bedroom door. The scent of fresh paint wafted out and I frowned.
"You painted it?"
"You'll need to stay in another room for tonight, but yes."
I stepped into the room that Geo and I were sharing and stared in shock. The entire space was painted a light lilac color, with dark purple curtains hanging over the window. The bed had been replaced with one Geo and I had decided we'd get for our own place. It was higher than the others and wider, but it still fit nicely in the room. The mattress was soft and supportive and the headboard was elegant carved wood painted white.
"We didn't do the bedding yet, since the paint is still drying, but it will be ready tomorrow," Finn assured me.
"How did you even do this?"
"Well, it was really Marco and two of his cousins. We hired them to come take care of everything while we were out with you."
"Wow." I leaned back against Geo and sighed. "It really looks nice. And I love the blankets. Thank you."
"It's nowhere near what you should be given," Finn told me. "After all the shit we put you through and the fucking torture you underwent because of our decisions, you deserve the world. In fact," he suddenly knelt in front of me.
My blood ran cold. He could not be asking for marriage, not when I still didn't know how to forgive them.
"I'm giving you my shares in the company." He held out an envelope.
"What do you mean? That's your company."
"And now it's yours. I'll keep working there for a salary." He offered the envelope again and I took it. Inside was a certificate stating that I was the partial owner of ADP Group.
"This is too much."
"No, it's exactly what you deserve. We put the business over you and now you can put it over me."
I held the piece of paper gingerly, not sure what to do. You didn't just give someone a business like this. Not when you threw them away for that same business.
Mace stepped forward and held out another envelope, this one black with gold trim. "I'm doing the same."
"And so am I." Aiden handed me his envelope.
"It's all legally done, these are just formalities," Mace explained. "You're alread the full owner of ADP Group. As of 10 am this morning."
"Why?" I stared at the three envelopes in my hands. This couldn't be real. They were trying to trick me or catch me off guard.
"Because we love you. We did everything wrong while we had you, but we can make sure you're taken care of from now on. You'll never need to be with an alpha for money. You'll have everything you need."
"Thank you." I stood there awkwardly, still unsure how to take this.
"Well, I'm going to bed." Finn stood and stretched. He gave me a peck on the cheek and left, jogging up the stairs to his room.
"Where are we sleeping tonight?" Geo asked me. "That room is too full of paint fumes."
"I guess we could sleep in my old nest," I said reluctantly.
