Devonshire Mansion

The holiday’s had past in Atlas Falls and now looking at the estate decorated to the hilt for the annual party she threw she knew that things were changing. She still felt horrible for Tony, Jamal’s arrest was public news and he was awaiting trial the judge had given him house arrest. More that Lowell and Tony had paid the judge off to allow the house arrest. Jamal was safer on house arrest at an unknown location. Hidden away on the outskirts of town with police watching the house and private security to boot. She nodded her head to the wait staff as Lowell approached her and her eyes glared as Tess entered her house with Bliss following her.

“How is Tony I know he was going to try and see Jamal if Jamal will see him?” Jackie asked hoping that Tony was still holding on. She knew that he had to be hurting right now. Jamal was still not cooperating with the police or Braden if he didn’t start soon they would have no choice but to actually go to a trial on drug possession charges. Looking over at Tess laughing with a guest she snorted and then glared at him. “Really Lowell will it ever end the disrespect that you show me with Tess? I have tried with Bliss she lives here and yet you allow this?”

“What am I supposed to do ostracize my daughter’s mother? Bliss feels attacked and Tess unfortunately makes her feel safe.” Lowell said lowering his head. He never felt so low. He was embarrassing his wife, however his daughter was in pain and Tess knew what it was about. He would have to do whatever he could to help her. As he reached out to Jackie he smiled. “You have always been by my side even in times I didn’t deserve it. I don’t want to hurt you but I don’t want to lose Bliss or you. It isn’t about disrespect it’s about my love for my daughter.”

Lowell watched Tess and Bliss laughing seeing his daughter look so carefree. “I have neglected her and Tess has secrets, I’m going find out what that is. If I can ask you for a favor. Please don’t chase Tess or Bliss away. I’m going to find out what is haunting my daughter and I’m going to run Tess out of town once and for all. I don’t need a fight. I want you to play the game Jackie, don’t let her bait you because that’s what she’s doing. No I don’t think Jamal is a priority considering Selina stunt has put Mason in the line of jail.”

Atlas Falls Cemetery

Kendrick looked over the lawn of the Atlas Falls cemetery he figured it would rain today as he looks over at Money’s mother who is with the reverend going over the last details of the ceremony. The small crowd ha long past gone and though he knows Money deserves better than to be in the very back of the cemetery for him it is all his mother would allow. He had offered to pay for the expenses as best he could but she had refused a prideful thing. He had made sure the coffin had been upgraded at the home something he insisted upon. This life was hard and Money knew that when he signed up to work for Ronan.

He and Money had been best friends since they were toddlers their mothers made ends meet together, their fathers both absent from their lives. They looked out for each other and their respective families, there was no one he trusted more than Money and now he was gone, thanks to Thor Luciano. Ronan had promised him retribution but he had yet to actually act upon that he was too focused on cosying up to the blonde bitch at the resort. Brooke Kincaid was becoming more and more of a liability to the organization the more time his boss spent with her. His mind floated back to the grave as he hand went to Money’s mother’s shoulder as the reverend finished the prayer.

His eyes scanned the cemetery just to make sure that no one else was there to threaten the day, everyone in the organization had been on alert since the shootings. His eyes landed on the black town car as it approached and he saw Ronan get out his arm still in the sling. He saw no other cars as Ronan approached the ceremony and his boss leaned down to place a kiss on Money’s mother’s forehead. He saw Ronan move to stand by her and was grateful that the little bitch didn’t accompany him she was not of their world. She didn’t belong here and now that she was a part of it, he had every intention of telling her that.

The reverend ended the sermon and he saw Ivan walking Money’s mother away leaving him to stare at the coffin with Ronan standing next to him. “I am surprised the upper crust society bitch didn’t come with you. She’s not from our world.”

Ronan had come to pay his respects Money was a valuable member of his organization and had been loyal to him since he had been initiated. Money had been Kendrick’s best friend and confidante they were inseparable. Kendrick was hurting he could tell of course it was just a front at the end of the day in order to cover his grief. He knew Kendrick didn’t trust Brooke and Brooke didn’t trust Kendrick that would be a bigger problem than was necessary at the end of everything. He couldn’t have them at odds with each other.

“Watch yourself Kendrick. Brooke will be respected at the end of the day she has earned it. You have earned your place as my right hand. You will show Brooke the respect she deserves you respected my mother did you not?” Ronan asked seeing Moneys mother being loaded into a waiting car and then Ivan waiting at his town car. Money would have liked the service, but it was also an opportune time for Thor to strike if he wanted too. “Are we clear on Brooke or do I need to make another example?”

Rory’s Condo

Yasmine yawned as she looked looked at Rory who had drool running down his mouth. She eased out of his bed and saw the view out of the condo. A gasp let out her lips this was amazing. When she looked on the couch it was a assortment of girl clothes out. Picking up Rory’s shirt she started to button it up. Pulling her long silky black hair into a ponytail she smiled. Picking up the Prada dress, the Calvin Klein midriff, BCBG jeans, Louboutin heels were covering the floor. Gasping she couldn’t believe he did this so fast. Who did this? How did he do this? She started to laugh as she felt the excitement flowing all over her. Was this hers? Nobody had taken so much time to care about her. Covering her mouth she almost started to cry. It wasn’t as if this happened every week. What made it scarier was that she knew he cared already. She knew he’d move heaven and hell to make her happy.

Walking into the bedroom she jumped on the bed waking him up instantly. “Rory what is all that stuff? Is it mine? Did you do this for me?” She asked as she flopped down on the kingsized bed. “I know those shoes aren’t mine. Rory baby!” Yasmine said screaming never seeing so much expensive stuff at one time. Now Kendrick had always done for her and Regina but this was almost excessive. “I can’t accept that it’s too much baby. Those shoes are worth my week salary boo. Oh my God you are so sweet.” She leaned in and kissed him. “You don’t have to spoil me I’m not some materialistic princess.”

Rory was pretty sure the week had passed by in a whirlwind of work and indulging with Yasmine and now that it was the weekend again he was happy that he had it to relax. Last night after she had went to sleep he had called in a few favors to his sister who knew some designers he wanted to do something nice for Yasmine. He had learned the way to most women’s hearts was through gifts or at least the girls in his past had, he also wanted to spoil her a bit he had been working so much at DGI that their schedules had been all over the place too. He smiled at her when she jumped on the bed and laughed and rubbed his eyes looking at her, he could get used to this her in his condo.

“I know I don’t have to get you anything but I wanted too. Besides Max has all these designer friends and she owes me a favor.” Rory said sitting up in bed as he looked at her and then looked at the clock. They had stayed up late the night before and he was glad for the weekend. Rubbing a hand over his face he smiled. “If you don’t want them say so I just thought you deserved to be spoiled a bit. They’re gifts Yasmine that is all, so what are the plans today? We could hang out here go the mansion if you are really brave give my parents a heart attack. I know you mentioned that you wanted to see your mom this weekend too.”

Atlas Falls Country Club
The Grand Ballroom

“No I want the roses on every other table with the silver and the gold has the gardenias is anyone listening?” Merci said stomping her feet. Holding a clipboard she checked off a few things. Wearing a metallic Herve Leger dress and a pair of imported high heels. When she looked around it was stunning.

“You did it again Merci Dubois this place looks like a tropical oasis.”

When she turned around she saw Jackson standing in the doorway. When she was younger she was crazy about Jackson. Hell what young girl wasn’t? However growing up she moved on and they were friends. Let’s just say Jackson lived a life that Merci refused to deal with he was far too dangerous. Drugs and booze plus that girl Cat got killed with Jackson that night. People hadn’t forgotten at all. Moving her bang out of her face she smiled at Jackson as he approached her.

“So I heard you’re dating one girl why couldn’t I or Skye you know my best friend get that out of you?” She leaned in and kissed his cheek. “I missed you Jack it’s been quite boring without you.” Merci’s assistant Kyra came with two glasses of champagne. “This business is my new baby aren’t you proud of me? Oh you look so good all cleaned up. Skye would be really happy you look good and healthy.”

Jackson looked at Merci and remembered the wild nights with Merci, Skye, and Neil. Her eyes still sparkled as he walked up to her. He pulled her into a bear hug as he kissed her cheek. “Merci have you talked to Skye? How is she?” It was good and bad seeing Merci again. How he remembered that time of his life was scary. Skye was a drug as much as the coke. She was addictive and exotic. As he sat down at a table he picked up Jon Harrison’s card. Then scoffed at the thoughts of how he stole Skye from Jon.

As he looked at Merci. “I am so happy to see you.” Tapping his foot against the floor he looked at her. “So a grand party planner I heard that you’re doing good. I’m healthy and happy Merci you look good too. All that partying hasn’t slowed you down at all. Still trying to take on the world. Look that night that Neil passed out and you, me, and Skye did that thing. It was a mistake Merci I just wanted to tell you how special you are to me.”

“Skye is fine and I’m grateful to be here it was your pics in the newspapers with me that pushed this job to me. I have a bigger future now and I just wanted to say thank-you.” Merci leaned in and kissed him passionately on the lips. “If you ever get bored with Ms. Fraiser call me.” Turning around she saw guests outside and Dani scowling at her. “I think Dani isn’t too happy.”
