Forbidden

Revenge

Carley POV

I'm at the hotel working and sigh heavily when the door opens and I see Janet walks in and goes over to talk to Jason about something. It's been just over a week now and Leanne still hasn't come back from wherever it was Michael has taken her and her children. I've asked casually during little conversations I've had here and there with Janet, but she always ignores any questions I ask and changes the topic which is really frustrating. All I want to know it where my baby is and that she's safe, but nobody will tell me anything.

After a few minutes Janet leaves and I walk over to where Jason is standing talking to somebody and I listen in whilst pretending to be doing something.

"Looks like we won't be having Janet here much longer now their back" Jason says to Tracie one of the other cooks. "Aww. That's a shame. I'm gonna miss having her around"

"Yeah me too, but on the bright side at least we have someone who actually knows how to run a kitchen back" Jason shrugs. "True" Tracie shrugs.

"Leanne's back?" I ask casually and he nods. "Mhm. Not sure when she'll actually be back here though"

"Did Janet say if she went anywhere nice?" I ask casually. "She has Michael Jackson for a husband. Anywhere she goes with him is gonna be nice... and hot" Tracie giggles. "Seriously? Perving on your boss?" Jason chuckles at her. "I wasn't perving" she shrugs. "All I'm saying is I wouldn't say no... if you know what I mean" she winks at him. "He cheats on her!?" I frown and they both look at me confused. "Um... I was just joking" Tracie turns to me confused. "Well that's not funny. That's my...umm" I pause

"Your what?" Jason frowns confused. "Boss... it's just not funny is all" I say, trying to act casual. "Um... oooh kaaay" Jason frowns and walks off giggling with Tracie and I sigh heavily realising what I almost just said.

I wish I could have just said that, Leanne is my daughter and not to disrespect her like that, but I know Jason talks to Emma alot who Leanne is close too and the last thing I want is for Leanne to find out the truth by somebody else. I still don't know exactly how I'm going to do it or how to even approach the topic, but I need to tell her soon I can't take much more of being around her and not telling who I really am.

Leanne's POV

"So? How does this one taste?" Michael asks as I take a bite out of the cookies he made. "It's really good" I smile and he looks at me for a moment. "It's not right is it?" He says and I shake my head. "Not enough sugar?"

"Too much. Why don't I show you again?" I smile and go back over to the counter with him. "How can you not know this stuff?" I chuckle slightly. "Because I have an amazing wife that does all the cooking and baking for me" he says wrapping his arms around me and pecks my cheek. "Then What did you do before you met me?"

"Take out and frozen food" he shrugs the starts rolling out more dough to start again.

Ever since we came back, Michael's been really eager to learn how to cook and even though it's taking along time for him to pick up even the easiest of things to make, it's been alot of fun helping learn.

Thing's have really changed alot since our talk while we were away. As hard as the conversation was for both of us that night, it was something we both really needed. I'd been trying to block things out and deal with my problems by myself for so long, but ever since I told Michael everything that's happened in the past and about my fears and worries, things between us have changed, but in a good way. Not only did me opening up to him take a huge weight of my shoulders. I've also stopped having nightmares and don't have panic attacks as much as I used too. It was also really good for Michael too. He was upset at first like I was after we talked, but since then he's seemed more content and happier.
