Divorced! Now what?
Chapter 193

Hank POV

After Mandy and I have some fun in the shower, she used her mouth and teeth in ways I did not think possible. I am not a small man, but she managed to get my length all in her mouth without gagging, and I was impressed with her skills. Before I reached my end, I stopped her and turned her around, placing her hands on the shower wall and pounding hard and fast from behind while I played with her bouncing perky br*asts; then, as she asked for faster, I grabbed her hips and guided her faster onto my length, I was glad she screamed my name before I exploded as I was too far gone to stop it and wait for her. After we got dry, Mandy suggested snuggling in with Scott and Harper; we snuck into his room to replace him spooning Harper. Mandy climbed in first and snuggled into Scott. At first, I felt a twinge of jealousy, but that passed quickly as I climbed in and snuggled into her and found sleep came easier, being snuggled up to her.

I woke to my body being too hot. I tried to roll over, but someone was behind me, and I had Mandy in my arms; lifting my head, I could see she was cuddling Harper, and that meant Scott was spooning me from behind. I found I was not shocked or worried that he was behind me. But I honestly do not think we will be together like the girls might want. We will have to talk about this later.

Worming myself out of bed and over Scott, I headed to the bathroom; after doing my business, I turned to go back to bed, but Scott had moved over and was snuggled up to Mandy. For some reason, I did not want to snuggle up to Scott like he had me. I liked him behind me, so I left them to sleep, headed back to my room to get dressed, and headed to the kitchen.

The kitchen was full with Bethany and Pam cooking us a meal for a king.

'Morning, ladies. I greeted them both and poured a coffee for myself.

'Morning.' Bethany murmured, and I wondered if she was struggling. Her body was significantly changing, and I was worried she was not doing as well as she pretended to be.

'Need help?' I offer as I watch the two women work.

'If you want, you can set the table up!' Pam said, and I wondered if I walked in on something; there was a sort of tension in the air. I did as suggested, put plates and cutlery out, and then grabbed some juice from the fridge. Scott came down just as I finished, followed by Bob; he looked tired, not like I expected. As I greeted the guys, a knock was heard at the door.

'That will be Jacko. Bob said and headed to answer the door. I wondered what our friendly officer wanted; it was only eight in the morning, and indeed, it was not just for our breakfast; my home was no longer a home, with all these people here and visitors arriving that I did not know were coming, for a smallest of moments it annoyed me, and then the feeling left. I wanted to have a busier life to keep my mind away from troubles. It is good that it is wild for me at the moment, and I am standing waiting for Jacko to arrive. 'Good morning, everyone. Oh, good. I am in time for breakfast,' he said, sending Theo running to the kitchen for another plate.

Once seated and the pleasantries were over, Jacko explained why he was there.

'Bob, the family that was found in your house was part of the royal family and was head of the syndicate that ran this city. Scott's Dad did a lot of investing since they disappeared, and we believe that is why he is dead and why the place Pam's adopted family was in. It all connects to this family, who were not gangster syndicates; they were a group of people trying to make our city greater. The family was part of the royal family, but that changed when they died, and those who took over were not for the city but for themselves. Pam interrupted him.

'What do you mean, my adopted family?' She looked genuinely surprised by that comment.

'The people who raised you were not your real parents. Did you not know this? I thought when I was talking to your boss that you knew. Now, it was Jacko's turn to be surprised.

'No, I did not know. They were the only parents I knew, but what has this got to do with the family in our home?' She looked perplexed, even though I was joining the dots quickly.

'It is rather ironic, really, that you have purchased your family home and did not know it.' Jacko laughed as he said this, but no one at the table joined in; it was as if they had just joined the dots and realized we were looking at a princess. Or, if you still need to join that dot, we are looking at least the daughter of the ones in the house.

'That family in the room was my family? My real family?'

'Yes.' He replied giving her a soft sympathetic smile.

'Tell me about them, what you know. Please! Pam was almost pleading.

'I can tell you what we know regarding the bodies, but if you want to know more about who they were and what they were like, you should talk to Scott. He had all his Dad's notes, and that includes photos. Pam looked over at Scott, and he nodded. Bob, who had been part of the investigation, added.

'I have a lot, too, sweetheart. Scott's Dad and I worked together on this case, even after the police put it aside as a cold case. We never gave up. Then, when Scott was of age, he took over the hunt. We never gave up; we just had no new leads. Until now, it is fate that has led us to buy that house. We could have been next door if Bethany had not beat us to it by one day. Bethany could have brought another one, and they would have never been found and put to rest!'

'You know what this means though, don't you?' Hank added softly.

'What?' Pam replied a little sharply.

'You are the heir and so next in line for the throne! The gasp around the room told me not everyone had put it together. 'Does that mean I am a princess by default because you are my stepmother?' Bethany said with a chuckle.

'Yep, you sure are honey. But let us get all of this into some perspective. Pam's whole family is executed, and then her adoptive parents' plane goes down with all her second family on board. I would say you are a target and need to hide until we catch the person responsible; if it gets out there is an heir still alive, then you might not live to see those triplets born. Bob says, pulling her to him and kissing her forehead.

'You right, the person or persons who did the deed will know that they have been found as soon as the press hears about it. I am hoping that this story will get less attention than the jail detainees all dying from poison mushrooms. I think that will scare the people and want more on that than some family lost years ago, and hopefully get lost before the killers replace out. I say, trying to defuse the panic before it sets in.

'We need to make sure our security is good; those years ago, they might have thought they were safe, and they do not have today's technology. Bob, please, for our children, we need to get that house secured.' Pam said as her mind went into overdrive, thinking of ways to improve their lives.

I was pleased that the thought of being heir had been glossed over for now. I don't think Pam has taken that in fully yet, and when the palace hears they heir is alive, her life will change again. Lets hope it is for the better and not a target.
