Lacey's POV

my eyes, turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just come along I wanna ride? ooh,

“Carmella”

I say with a gasp and a chuckle

“What? what's wrong, Lace?"

Carmella asks sounding genuinely confused

"Those aren't the words, Carm, the lyrics are don't you wanna come along for the ride and you can see my heartbeat tonight "

“Really? hmm, that's strange, I always thought I was singing the correct lyrics this entire time"

Carmella says whilst looking up at Cade seductively and I once again chuckle

"Well, can you do me a favour and please remember the correct lyrics when you're around my children? I don't want Teddy coming out with

your foul version of her favourite Barbie song which will give her poor father a heart attack in the process”

1 plead with her and she scoffs

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P. bo

"Please, there's nothing poor about that man, Lace even if he hada heart attack it would be a platinum heart attack”

Carmella says making Cade and I laugh

“Even so, can you keep your dirty versions of your favourite songs to yourself, please, I'm only just recovering from you teaching my babies

your version of / Like /t Like That"

Isay and Carmella laughs

She thinks I'm playing but I'm not, I nearly had a heart attack when I

heard my then three-and-a-half-year-old children singing Carmella’s version of Cardi B's hit song

"Don't get mad, Lacey Lace, these kids need a cool, fun auntie to teach them great things"

“Enter auntie Abigail"

Abby says as she joins the conversation

She comes over and hugs Carmella before hugging me

"What do you think, honey? have I done you proud?"

"You always make me proud Abigail..everything looks amazing"

I say with a huge smile on my face as I look around at the beautiful and glamorous party

The theme of the party is navy blue, silver and black hence why we're all dressed in these colours

Everything looks so classy and it looks like a party that is only for the elite but there are many guests here tonight who aren't in the elite, in

fact, there are many different celebrities here as well ranging from models, actors, singers, dancers and even a select few influencers from **

Abigail has even arranged for a huge sign above the stage that says

“Congratulations On Making The New York Times Bestsellers List, Olivia

James:

There are also several poster boards set up around the room of each of my books and they're quite big, probably a few inches bigger than

my kids

Ifelt insanely proud when I looked at each of the poster boards because these are books that I worked my ass off for and professionally, I

consider them my pride and joy

I spent many hours researching and creating the best stories which at times was quite tiresome and stressful, especially with three new

babies but it was all worth it to stand here now with my friends and family celebrating my career even though only a select few know that

I'm the author who is being celebrated

It also makes me feel extremely giddy to hear people talking animatedly about my books and expressing their hope that something new will

come soon

Despite all of this, I'm feeling incredibly nervous about the big reveal and I'm unsure about whether or not I wanted to actually go through

with it

At the moment, I'm known mainly as the daughter of the Carpenter family and the wife of Logan Black and the media don't harass me as

much as you'd think which I'm guessing is because of my husband and right now, I'm happy with this but I'm worried that things may

escalate and the media may get more aggressive when it's revealed I'm Olivia James

“There's my beautiful, sexy MILF"

Logan whispers in my ear as he embraces me from behind

“"Eww!l, Logan don't call me that ever again”

“Why? what's wrong with being called a MILF"

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

“Everything, babe"

Isay with a sigh

"Well, I don't see anything wrong with it, love, you're a mom and I'd definitely like to f**k you"

oh my god

I thought to myself as I looked up at my husband who was smiling cheekily at me

"Ok Lace, so what we're gonna do is, at a quarter to midnight, I'm gonna go up on stage and I'm gonna do the big reveal and announce you

as the star of the night and then you can go up there and give a little speech before we ring in the new year"

"Urght, do I have to give a speech? you know I hate doing stuff like this, Abs"

“I know, babe but you have to, we can't just say the real Olivia James is Lacey Black, now let's do the countdown to the new year, ten, nine,

eight”

Abby says while shaking her head slightly

“No, your fans will wanna hear a few words from you, besides, you don't have to say much just give a brief synopsis about why you didn't

use your real name, thank everyone for their support and then that's it"

/ hate it when she's right

"Hey babe, take a walk with me"

Logan says from behind me and I smile at him as I nod my head

We walked passed all of the poster boards and I noticed Logan was taking each one in like he was studying them, specifically the male and

female on each one

Logan then led us towards one of the balconies which was empty and it had a beautiful view

"How are you feeling, love?" Logan asks me and I smile at him

“I'm perfect..l'll feel even better once I've made this speech, I hate attention being on me"

"You'll do great, babe"

Logan says as he wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him as he kisses my temple

We stood in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before Logan asked me a question which confused me

"Did you pick the models for your book covers, Lace?"

"What?"

Tlook up at Logan with my eyes narrowed

"Why are you asking me that question?"

“I just wanna know, that's all"

He says and I nod my head

"Yeah..yeah, I had a hand in picking them, why? why do you ask?" I ask him and he lets out a breath while smiling

"Did you notice anything familiar about the couples on your book covers, love?"

"What do you mean?"

Task and Logan smiles at me as he gently moves his fingers through the wispy bits of hair that's framing my face

“What I mean is that even though the models are different on them, they're all the same as well"

“Logan, have you taken something today? you're not making any

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

sense”

Isay and he laughs

“No babe, I haven't taken anything”

"Then make some sense, please"

Task with a smile and Logan gently cups my face with both of his hands

“The males on each cover are handsome men with natural blonde hair, light blue eyes and muscular build and the women are beautiful

blondes with light eyes and a curvy body"

"And?"

“And they look just like us"

He says surprising me

"Were you subconsciously thinking of us when you were writing your books, love? I mean, it wouldn't be surprising considering the

billionaires in your books are always loveable men who have f****d up here and there but they love their women and children just like I love

you and our babies and the female is always a strong, badass warrior type who has fought and clawed her way to being the wonderful

person she is"

Logan says and I look at him in shock

"You really read my books"

Isay with a smile as I wrap my arms around Logan's neck

“What can I say, I'm a sucker for a love story”

Aww, he's so cute

“Well, maybe I did subconsciously think of us when I was writing, you are my dream man after all"

Isay as I lean in and kiss Logan's luscious lips while smiling

This man is solely responsible for putting a real smile back on my face

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

because he's the one who gave me my happily ever after

“Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?”

Abby's voice rang throughout and I couldn't help but groan

/ really don't wanna give this speech

I'm guessing Logan knew what I was thinking because he chuckled as he kissed my lips and my forehead

"Come on, baby"

Logan kisses the back of my hand after entwining our hands together

He then led us back into the room and towards the front of the stage where our family and friends were standing

"We're about to ring in a brand new year but before we do, I would like to make an announcement and introduce you all to someone very

special”

Abby says and my nerves start to build but they start to relax and calm down a little when I see all of the excited faces in the crowd

"We're all here tonight to celebrate a brand new year but we're also here to celebrate the amazing career of Miss Olivia James who recently

made the New York Times Bestsellers list for the fifth year in a row"

She says and everyone claps and cheers

“Olivia James started her career five years ago and she's since created a billionaire series which is one of the world's most popular books in

it's genre...nobody knows who the woman behind this series is, they don't know her true identity, they don't know what she looks like or

what she's like as a person but I do, I know the woman behind the books and she's just as fabulous as you all probably think she is..she's a

wonderful mother, an incredible wife and she's the best friend a girl could have and I'm

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

looking at her right now"

Abby says while smiling at me and I reciprocated it with my own smile

“Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honour and my privilege to introduce you all to the woman behind Olivia James, the beautiful and extremely

talented, Mrs Lacey Black”

There was several shocked gasps and murmurs from our family and friends, well except for those who already knew who were looking at me

with so much pride

Logan kissed my cheek and gently patted my ass as if he was telling me to get my behind up on the stage which I did

Iwalked onto the stage and embraced Abigail in a hug who proudly said welldone kid before kissing my cheek and handing me the

microphone

Iturned to look at the crowd and my eyes scanned around the crowd of shocked and excited faces which made me smile and chuckle

slightly

“Thank you, I erm...I don't normally do speeches and I really don't know what to say”

Isay as I briefly look down and take a breath before looking back up

"I created Olivia James six years ago when I was pregnant and living in

London, I was a novice writer who had started my career with the hope of just making enough money to give my babies a comfortable life

but I ended up creating a series that was so insanely popular that I was able to give my children the best of everything and now I'm living

the life of my characters because I'm married to my own handsome billionaire who stubbornly walked into my life, stole my heart and

bluddy well refuses to

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

give it back”

I say earning chuckles from everyone

"Thank you to everyone who has made my billionaire series successful and for making it possible for me to be on the New York Times

Bestsellers list for five years in a row, thank you to my best friends Carmella

and Abigail for keeping me going and for being the crazy aunties to our little Monsters Inc, thank you to my..my kids who are my

everything and a big thank you to my husband for being my inspiration and for making me the happiest woman alive"

Tears filled my eyes as I looked at my husband who mouthed =—//ove you to me while smiling

Twas about to respond to him with //ove you too when someone shouted that the countdown for the new year was about to begin

Logan immediately jumped up onto the stage leaving our children with their grandparents and he wrapped his arms around me as we

watched the countdown on the screen behind us

The big, glittery numbers started to count down from ten and I smiled with excitement as the adrenaline in the room started to fill the room

We were five seconds away from ending this year and starting a brand new one and I for sure was more than ready to leave this year behind

and dive into a fresh new one with the loves of my life

"FIVE!"

"FOUR!

"THREE!"

“Twoll"

"ONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Everyone cheered as fireworks started to explode outside of the

Chapter 113 - New Years Eve P

building we were in

“Happy New Year, my love"

“Happy New Year, baby"

Logan cupped my face and passionately kissed me our tongues caressing each other as our love for one another flowed through us

“Mummy, daddy, let's go and see the fireworks"

Dayton says excitedly

Logan and I smiled at our three beautiful babies as we followed all of the other partygoers to go and watch the fireworks display

Isnuggled into my husband's embrace who was holding our daughter with his other arm as I wrapped my arm around Logan Junior who

was standing next to me

Last year, I made a new years resolution to be happy and I'm proud to say that I was successful because my heart is filled with so much

happiness and joy right now and I can't wait to see what not only this year but also the rest of my life is going to bring me and my little

family

Hopefully, it won't be as dramatic as this Christmas but who knows only time will tell
