Free Billionaire In Hiding: The Complete Series (Alpha Billionaire Romance Western Love Story) by Claire Adams

think about my own
future and the plans I wanted to start working on for Garrett and myself would
certainly distract me from those plans.
    “You
know, you two could be sisters,” he as he walked back past us and just before
heading to his table.
    “Mr.
Reynolds, it’s nice to see that you were able to wake up this morning and eat
some breakfast. I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow morning,” my mother
said.
    She
was horrible at taking a compliment and Garrett was a little too cheesy with
his. Although, I had heard people say my mother and I looked a lot alike and
some had even tried the sisters line before. But my mother had aged a lot over
the last few years. The sun, work, and money stressors were taking their toll
on her.
    “I
will be here tomorrow morning,” Garrett responded confidently as he sat down
next to Forest.
    “Do
you think Forest has told him how everyone manages to wake up in the mornings?”
I asked my mother.
    “Well,
he was up this morning, so maybe.”
    I
wasn’t about to tell my mother that I had woken Garrett up on my own. She
certainly wouldn’t have been happy with me and I liked when my mother was
happy. My mom could get pretty wild when she was angry. There had only been a
few times in my life that I had witness her truly upset with me and I didn’t
plan on repeating that experience anytime soon.
    “Yeah,
he must have told him.”

    Garrett

 
    I
knew I liked Forest. After telling him that I couldn’t go into town, he still
brought me back a wristwatch with an alarm on it. I instantly noticed it was
the same one all the other guys were wearing.
    Luckily
for me, Forest had taken a liking to me because Sid had been very clear that I
wasn’t to go into town. Agent Walker threatened to place me on a fishing boat
in Alaska if he found out I was causing any trouble. So when Forest handed me
the wristwatch, I was extremely grateful.
    “It’s
got a vibrate function on it, you can set alarms for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner and the watch will vibrate to notify you.”
    His
broken, toothy smile was smug yet playful and I knew their little game with me
was finally over. It had only taken me a couple of weeks to figure it out, but
I was grateful to finally have a way of making it to breakfast in the morning.
I couldn’t exactly expect Sarah to sneak into the bunkhouse and wake me up,
although I certainly would appreciate it if she wanted to.
    I
had gone to college and been through the horror of hazing as I joined my
fraternity; my theory of holding out and not complaining had finally paid off.
It was a huge relief and I finally felt like I was one of the guys.
    It
was odd to be placed at the ranch through the witness protection program. I had
seen the movie and television shows about the program and always assumed people
were hidden away in cabins where no one could find them. It was a bit of a
relief that I did get to work on the ranch and interact with people each day
because I was sure I would have gone crazy if I had been stuck in a cabin all
alone.
    Free-time
had never been something I liked. From the time I was in high school up to my
current work, I always packed my days as full as possible. If I wasn’t at the
gym or at the office, I was likely out with friends or visiting potential
clients. I couldn’t sit still very well and that had served me greatly as I
grew my business. I strongly believed that anyone who was willing to work hard
and hustle would make something of themselves eventually. Although, it was hard
for me to meet quality women when I was always hustling around.
    Sarah
was the kind of woman I had never really met up close. In the business world,
she was aloof and not really the sort of woman I was looking for when I was out
with my friends at a bar. To be honest, I figured a woman like Sarah probably
didn’t go out to the bars much. She was serious about life and I could see
that. Even at home at her family farm, Sarah kept a serious nature
