Tamara stood on the tarmac wind and the light flurries of snow danced on her wool trench coat. Her hair blew in the wind as she looked at Forbes limo appearing through the snow. She watched Forbes walk out helping Yasmine, Cassie, and eventually two men assisted with Philip getting out. Her boss was ready today and she knew Philip planned to present on board the plane. His idea of rebranding XES as burlesque clubs and upscales gentlemen’s room and clubs was brilliant. She saw Yasmine looking stunning and as she helped Philip onto the plane. Walking up to Forbes she pulled out an itinerary. “I still don’t feel good about this Mr. Montgomery. Look, Ilsa De Cruces is in the middle of civil war Mr. Montgomery and I’m just a person who watches the news. Why are we getting in bed with this man? I’m sorry to question you but this is all new to me and I just think with all the news that Cassie and people have presented on Dimitri Kavanaugh you’d stay away from him.” She extended her arms as Forbes helped her on the plane.

 

“When Jackson Devonshire finally swings the energy crisis and DGI energy division will turn into DGI’s most important subsidiary. He could take this to not just Ilsa De Cruces but all around the world again they will beat us. Unless we stop them now Tamara so Dimitri Kavanaugh is a means to an end. Does men like him disgust me absolutely but my daughters have guards as do you they watch you. So we shall not worry about Dimitri plus I have my eye on him. We just have to make sure Atticus and Jackson don’t sign anything because Dimitri is king of that country. As a king he’ll get custody of that kid and we’ll never have to see Bliss or Dimitri again. We’ll do what we have to Tamara to make sure we aren’t second to DGI.” Forbes looked at Yasmine and Cassie sitting in the seat. As Yasmine wanted to get off the plane he could tell and he smirked. “What’s the matter my dear you’re upset? You’re mad? Do you love Rory? Get over it! He’ll never wed you you’ll be his mistress do you want to be the woman who ripped you apart? Do you want to be Tess or their mother Audrey for him? You won’t be his whore Yasmine!” Forbes hissed at her seeing Cassie holding her back and Philip raising his hand to calm her.

 

“Who the fuck are you talking to Forbes?” She barked back, Cassie and Philip had warned her but she wasn’t going to take it. “You are just claiming me and my sister and you think you get to tell me what the hell I get to do? Fuck you!” Yasmine said as she looked up as Dimitri fucking Kavanaugh entered the plane and her skin began to crawl. “Don’t ever talk to me like that again are we understood? I’m not Philip and I’m not Cassie. I’ll bust your ass in your face you disrespectful motherfucker!” Yasmine hissed as she folded her arms. “You stay in our business you need to get your shit in order you see Lowell dying and shit you ain’t far off.”

 

“Truly father what a welcome but I do have a proposition. I’m not turning my back on the expansion of Atlas Falls and the revitalization but I have other ideas on how we can make millions and something new and fresh for our town. Something my sister my newly found baby sister considering that Gina would have been between us correct Cass? I just have to say you are quite the father of the year daddy. She’s dead but Gina was something Kendrick talked about constantly. He told me her love of burlesque and I thought we are um out of the official stripping business and since Thor will be renaming my old club. What if we transformed XES into a burlesque mens only type club that we can make go viral with the hottest celebs and the biggest titans in every industry. I mean women of course are allowed but the richest of the rich. Give it a Eyes Wide Shut moment and make it bigger.” Philip interjected.

**********

Yasmine stood in a black, silver, and white lace princess gown. Her hair was pulled into a chignon bun. Opening the first box her father sent her it was beautiful hair pins shaped in butterflies. She immediately saw the diamonds and her birthstone amethyst. The subtle purple looked beautiful along with the gown. As she opened the next box it was wide and velvet as she opened it she saw a Victorian era choker with diamonds all over it. Her entire face was shocked as she looked at the expensive jewels. Her hands shook as she touched it. Turning around she assumed it was her mother but looking up in the vanity mirror she felt concern. Cassandra Montgomery stood before her with the grace she couldn’t muster. As she turned her head Cassie began to place the butterfly hair clips in her hair. Looking up at her sister she began to grab her elbow length opera gloves. As she looked up at Cassie she could tell she was more poised than she could ever be. Painting her lips she felt her heart swelling wondering what sort of game this was.

“I used to sit underneath Gina for hours watching her get ready for her dates with Kendrick. Her hair, how she layered lotions and oils, perfumes and she mixed them to smell so unique, and makeup. I had a big sister and I am not aiming for another one. I was sliding up and down a pole and of course you didn’t know I was your sister but I have to question would that changed a damn thing. You would resent anyone who wasn’t born out of Forbes and Audrey bodies. You’ve been less than receptive to me yet here you are helping me announce to the world I’m Forbes Montgomery daughter. So Cassie what is this? I mean you know Forbes is married to another woman and you have two other half-siblings. What do you want Cassie? I’m about to announce myself and I don’t need any added stress.”

Cassie wore an emerald dress hand picked out by her stylist as she watched Yasmine from the doorway so enthralled with everything when it came to their father. On one hand she saw her as the enemy on the other hand it wasn’t like Yasmine asked to be Forbes’s daughter. Walking to her sister she touched her hair seeing Yasmine slightly wince a bit at the action and instead used a gentler hand sweeping the hair towards the back and slapping her sister’s hand away when she began to braid it to put it up. “You have a lovely neckline Yasmine show it off, this should help. I’m not here to replace Gina but I certainly can’t have my little sister going out there looking anything less than regal on her big day. I honestly don’t know if it would have affected anything at the club, if anything we would have used it our advantage with Kendrick. ” Cassie said finishing the french twist braid and beginning to pin it with the butterfly hair pin diamonds, no doubt a gift to buy her off from their father she saw Yasmine’s face contort when she said sister and almost rolled her eyes. “Too soon for sister’s fine. How about friends?”

She saw Yasmine relax a bit as she finished her hair and wondered if her father knew of all the people that Yasmine had invited especially the Devonshire’s. She took a breath as she helped Yasmine with the powder on her face to finish the look.  The glint of her engagement ring catching her eye and she remembered that she had bigger worries than Yasmine like making sure Skye was exposed for the snake she was with Miles. “I know I was apprehensive when my father first revealed who you were. Philip and I were both a bit unkind to you and that is not your fault it’s all his. He’s had so many women on and off over the years, fathered my other two half siblings with a woman that made him pretty much leave us here with nannies to raise in high school. You need to be careful with him Yasmine. He’s not this great savior that you seem to think that he is, he never will be. Sure he’s showering you in gifts and jewels but the moment you step out of line you need to watch your back for his wrath.”

KELSEY’S CONDO

“That’s interesting.” She said twisting her phone in her hand as she looked up to an amused

Willow. What was so funny to this woman? All night after the threesome it was as if she knew. It was a little creepy. However she was still figuring all this out. Val had always said sexuality was a spectrum and she didn’t understand that until tonight. What the three of them did tonight was amazing and she couldn’t get it out of her head. Tonight was changing everything maybe what she did in high school with Jamison McCoy was just wrong because last night. The pleasure she felt with both Jamal and Val was crazy. As she squeezed her phone she looked at Willow. “I’m sorry that I’ve been distracted with other things. This has more than likely been the hot DJ from Europe worse date.” Kelsey said looking at Willow. “I’m sorry this was a mistake and I know that you are so sexy and cool. I just am not ready Willow to stop with her.”

 

As she walked up to her door she bit down on her lip. Flipping her hair she leaned in and kissed Willow cheek. “Tonight was fun but I think that I’m not ready. I’m sorry, I should stop saying that huh?” As she ran her hands through her hair she just wanted to get in the shower and go to sleep. Maybe try to forget what happened tonight. She walked out a lesbian and now she wasn’t so sure. “I think we can be friends though because I’m confused about everything.” She held her purse close and kicked off her shoes. “God those things are evil. My cousin let me borrow them. They look great but they are evil.”

 

Willow was traveling for her tour of the eastern coast playing in clubs around the country before she jet set off to the Europem part of her debut something her manager had arranged. She had seen the beautiful Kelsey Fraiser a few weeks ago during her first show in Atlas Falls and had asked her manager to extend her out at least two more weeks.They had of course had fun over those two weeks but a part of her was a little tired of hearing about Val and she could tell that is what Kelsey was thinking about now. Which was alright she was looking for just a fling and it was clear that the doctor had not caught the feels. She watched as she opened up the door to her condo and followed her inside and she wondered if Kelsey knew those were at least a couple hundred dollars pair of shoes.

 

“It’s fine we both agreed this was just to blow off some steam. Friends sounds good for now I’m off to New York after this for another two week club tour there and you have your job here so it’s fine.” Willow said placing the water bottle she was carrying to her lips as she took a swig. She honestly respected that Kelsey was at least being honest with her before she left and she had to wonder if the woman before her really knew what she was getting into with Val Ruiz. “Tell your cousin thanks and at least you didn’t ruin those expensive shoes though to the Devonshire’s it would be pennies on the dollar. I just want you to watch you back with Val Kelsey, I mean rumor is she likes to play the field if you know what I’m saying?” Willow said pursing her lips together she had asked she woulda fooled not to and her manager had put out some feels seems like Val was pretty fluid in the sexuality department.

CLUB VERTIGO MAIN AREA

Tonight was the beginning of every he had been working for. Ivan buzz was becoming undeniable to the hip-hop elite. He had a remix with none other than Nas which was major clout and Ivan being the artist that burst his sound and influence onto the scene. As he looked at the club filling with people Jamal was thrilled that this was for them all. Rory app was launching, Val line was debuting, and his music was about to be in the mainstream. Walking into the VIP he saw Ronan sitting with a stunning woman, she was almost otherworldly beautiful. He stepped up and saw Aspen in a white dress so sexy he almost screamed. It was something about that girl that was alluring now and not only that but seeing Aspen and Val playing nice was good. Walking up clapping his hands he looked at all three of them. “Look at us!” A bottle girl walked up with a bottle of Ace of Spades he smirked looking at everyone. He popped the cork and everyone cheered looking at them he poured them each a glass of champagne. “Let’s make this a successful night for some motherfucking young millionaires! And in Rory case fucking young billionaire when this app launches!” Jamal took a gulp of champagne. “I took a mediocre club and turned it into the hottest spot for young people in Atlas Falls! Where else can you hear the fresh music and find live bands? You want to know what’s hot you come to Vertigo. I’m proud bae.”

Jamal leaned in and slipped his tongue inside of Val mouth and wrapped his hands around her waist. Looking over at Aspen smiling face and as Rory kissed her hand. That motherfucker was so damn smooth. Looking around the VIP was filling up and he walked to his hostess Teedra and whispered something in her ear. Then bottle girls started to appear around the club releasing the ambiance he was trying to give. It had been a week since Selina had been with pops and honestly he still wanted to kill that motherfucking Dimitri. Either way his dad had told all three of them that he’d get that prince and they knew he wasn’t playing. Dad hadn’t turned his back on his godfather and as fucked up as that sounded, he respected it. Dad was an OG and to be honest he just had that love for Lowell that wouldn’t die. They were boys and he was sure Rory all the others were fucked up. He choose to stay clear of it due to the fact that his godfather had his utmost respect, getting him out of Ronan crosshairs. Looking at the crowd forming his face scowled when he saw Brooke walk in with Atticus. Brooke was his home girl and he was protective. He wondered if brothers were alike? “What y’all know about Atticus man?” Leaning in as he poured them all more champagne. “Is he like Dimitri?”

Aspen was wearing a Heatherette hot pink, purple, black, white, and yellow leather backless cocktail dress. Her makeup was dark and her hair pulled up into a severe ponytail with extensions. Tonight Rory was about to change social media and DGI forever. She wanted the pictures to be amazing because she was going to be on his arm. He’d been different since Thanksgiving moody and almost distant except in the sack. He was always attentive in the bedroom. Men but she feared it was something even worse rearing its ugly head, that bitch Yasmine. Ever since the twins birth she felt very bothered by Jackson and Dani. She had kept that to herself because everyone was kissing their asses. It was almost written in stone they’d be the new Lowell and Jackie. Which meant she’d kiss the ring until Rory couldn’t be denied any longer. Their little stunt wasn’t unnoticed by her or anyone else, naming Donovan and JJ godparents Yasmine and Rory was cheap. She didn’t care Max was on team Aspen and that’s what counted. Rory and Max had a very solid bond as did Jackson whose balls had been neutered due to Dani’s unreasonable affection of her kidnapped bff.

“No nothing like Dimitri, Val can attest to that.” Aspen said looking at Jamal. “I’m sorry everyone is talking about Selina and what’s going on. Rory tells me a little about what Bliss went through it’s really disgusting that man is able to walk around because quote on quote diplomatic immunity. Either way he needs to be brought up on charges and thrown underneath a jail. I’m sure Atticus agrees. I met him at Harvard when he came to do a seminar on Ilsa De Cruces and the tropical Island near and underneath Florida. I just don’t see it and Brooke has always been open no way would she be being abused and not tell me or Val.” Aspen said confidently. “No offense can we just do a toast to not just Rory or Jamal but to all three of you including you Val.  Your artist, your app, and your fashion! You are stunning tonight btw and I do know we’ve had our differences but I want to say congratulations to all three of you. Cheers.” Aspen said giving a lightness to the mood because Dimitri and abuse and rape was all that had been floating around Rory. Tonight was about the launch of his app her hand dripping in leather, lace and diamonds Cartier gloves. “Baby are you excited? RePlay is going live.”

DELACROIX ESTATE; KITCHEN

The smell of honey baked ham with pineapples and cloves had filled the kitchen. As Marvin Gaye ‘What’s Going On’ echoed in the speakers above her head. This was the first time her father wasn’t cooking Thanksgiving and it was on her. Jamal had asked her to come to his home and cook. She wanted to see everyone because things were becoming to raw with Dimitri. Ever since the first time he assaulted her he’d become more sadistic. Just this morning he slapped her around all over the hotel room. Her lip was busted and her eye black. She’d covered it the best she could, her bang covered her eye and dark lipstick on her lip. It was still noticeable but she couldn’t help but hide it.  She was just focused on making the best Thanksgiving meal because her father wasn’t in attendance. As she walked to the oven she looked at the turkey and began to baste the turkey. Taking a bite of the dressing she knew it was done as she took it out of the oven. Exhaling she heard someone at the door and looked up at her brother and Zach walking in. Jamal was picking up some sort of surprise and his mom. She talked to him on the phone earlier.

“Hey I’m just getting the pies out right now. The turkey and ham almost done. I pulled out the dressing and the greens are still cooking. We have potato salad, deviled eggs, spaghetti, baked macaroni and cheese, I got cakes, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and all type of other type of treats and appetizers since daddy isn’t coming this year.” She hadn’t looked up at Mason or Zach as she kept going. “I just want it to be perfect because we all have so much going on you know? We don’t get to see each other. And I know you are so mad at daddy but I miss him.” Selina covered her mouth knowing that she was just compensating for the pain she was in. She was shaking and she saw Mason moving closer to her. “I’m fine Mason please just give me a moment.” Selina couldn’t help it before she knew it she collapsed to the floor and she felt Zach holding her. “I’m okay.” She said looking at Mason who was staring at her face too hard.

Jamal had Val hand as he walked into his condo kitchen. He had his father outside ready to apologize to not just Mason but them all. When he saw Selina on the floor he began to move closer to his sister and let go of Val hand. “Val go get my mom and tell her to come in the kitchen.” He watched Val rushing off to get his mom who was setting the table and setting the Mexican side of Thanksgiving. The tamales, chilaquiles, mole, and elotes were his favorite mixing soulfood and his momma Mexican cooking. When he got closer to Selina he saw her eye and lip he looked at Mason and Zach with concern in his eyes.

“Selina, sis you been throwing down in the kitchen pops would be proud.” He said looking at her crying hysterically on the floor he looked at Mason and he began to feel her pain. Stooping down by Mason and Selina he sat Indian style and looked at his beautiful big sister. “Selina your eye um sis. Your eye looks like it’s black and your lips is clearly busted. I don’t want to make any assumptions but you on the floor crying in Mason arms and you look like this. Is Dimitri? Is the motherfucker beating on you Selina?”

It all seemed to pour out of her because Mason and Jamal were mirrors she couldn’t hide from. Especially Mason the way he looked at her she knew it all had to come out. “I’m not this woman Mason. I’m not this girl who gets abused by her lover oh my God. I’m being beaten and I don’t know how to get away. He’s everywhere and I’m so scared. He’s going to kill me one day and the way he talks about Bliss and that baby. Oh my God I shouldn’t have doubted her. What kind of woman does that? What kind of woman does that? I’m Selina Delacroix how could this be happening to me? I’m not supposed to be beaten.” She began to bawl into Mason shoulder.
