took another sip of wine. He puts the glass down on the table and looks at Ella and Micheal this time you can see past regret covering his face. Never lose it, keep that childlike fire burning it's what marriage is all about true happiness. He picks up his wine glass once more and gives the two a small smile as he walks away.

 

"Ole George still never got over Janelle" Micheal states.

 

No and you can tell it just by looking into his eyes. She looks up at Mike to wipe her lipstick off of his cheek.

 

Where is your sister? I beleive I saw Joel earlier.

 

Zamera was upstairs in the restroom with Joel-

 

Mike's face freezes and then a smile cracks through.

 

What? Are you serious, not that has been a longtime coming.

 

Zamera fights him alot, because she has been hurt alot. When they first got married I knew Joel was in for a ride, but you know he hung in there.

Ella begins to clean off the table as Mike places the wine bottle back on ice to chill. Zamera was the one who ran and she just couldn't let go.

 

Well what actually happened? Mike begins to help with glasses. I mean all I remember, everybody saying she is too much for him to handle, she is going to leave him.

 

Don't get me wrong I know she is in love with Joel, it just took her awhile to surrender and once she did I beleive it frightened her. Ella stands with her hands on her hip. When she first laid eyes on him, I could sense she felt something, it was all in the way she carried herself when he was around. She used to be wild and kind of a tomboy, but the more Joel came around she begin to dress better, do her hair, not knowing that he had it for her the first time he laid eyes on her.

 

So they both knew- Mike says.

 

No neither one of them knew what the other felt until Daddy asked Joel to keep watch on her. Then everybody knew-

 

They finish cleaning the dining room and begin to exit, Mike grabs Ella arm. What do you mean they both knew-

 

Let's just say, Joel was twenty-four when he began working for my father and Zamera was just seventeen she graduated from more than just high school at that age.

 

Mike raises his eyes brows in complete understanding.

 

But you know Dad did not mind, I mean Joel was good for Zamera he was the only one who could reach her other than even mama at times. When they got married Dad was extremely happy, until he heard about her leaving Joel then that's when everything hit the fan. Ella sits down on the sofa as Mike closes the door.

 

What are you doing? Ella asks as Mike flicks on soft music. He then comes to sit next to her.

 

I love your sister like a sister, I even like Joel. But right now I want to spend some quiet un interrupted time with my fiance’. Mike pulls her wrist up to his lips and caresses her as they embrace.

 

Meanwhile Angela is in the office talking to Don.

 

"Honey, it's alright...really, how many times have you let this bother you.

Don looks at his wife as he feels her pain.

 

I love you Don, I mean I love your daughters like they are my own, but Don-

 

Angie, stop it. We have discussed this time and time again. I understand you wanting to please me-

 

Don, it's not about you. I want something of my own that is a part of me.

No one understands that.

 

Honey I know what you want, but it's not up to us, you know what the doctor said last time we tried, Angie, I love every part of you. Don walks around his desk to comfort his wife she turns to meet him as the embrace.

 

 

 

 

"Ted, it's getting pretty late and we have to get Jade home to bed. Why don't you and Maxey stop by tomorrow before you leave for home." John grabs his coat out of the closet as he searches for Lizzie. Have you seen my wife?

 

Actually no I haven't, look John I don't beleive we will be able to stop by, but you know what? he reaches to shake his hand. We will keep in touch and call you once we do arrive home.

 

John notices the shortness of the sound of Ted's voice he could tell he was giving the brush off it seems no one has truly forgiven him accept for Lizzie. He accepts Ted's suggestion.

 

"Father, must we go now?"

Rachino pulls on Ted's pants. Ted smiles and looks down. Yes, son we are going to leave now, will you do me the favor and finding mom and tell her we are leaving?

 

Yes sir. Rachino swiftly searches for Maxey to relay the message.

 

He's a good boy. John says as he closes the closet door and walks away.

Ted smiles, as he holds their coats waiting for his wife and son.

 

 

"Leaving so soon?" Angela comes down from whitewashed staircase follwed by Don.

 

"Where are you going son? Leaving so soon? Don smiles with his pipe in his mouth as he reaches the last step and extends his hand to Ted.

 

I didn't get a chance to talk to you, son. How are things with you?

 

Angela leans in between the two and pecks Ted on the cheek.

 

Let me go say by to Maxey and that charming young boy of yours.

 

Thank you, Angie. Ted nods in with a smile.

 

Don and Ted stand by the foyer as guests leave talking. Finally most of the guests have gone. Don and Angie say goodbye to Ted, Maxey and Rachino.

 

"Angie, are you sure you don't need any help cleaning?" Eliza asks.

 

No sweetie you and John get home with that precious baby of yours get some rest. Angie gives Eliza a hug.

 

"Alright, well we will see you guys later" John picks up Jade who is asleep in her mother's arms. And they leave. Eliza kisses her father on the cheek. "Good-night Daddy"

 

Goodnight sweetie.

 

Don closes the door as he turns back toward the stairwell. Down walks Joel adjusting his jacket. Angie stands closer to Don with both arms folded.

She whispers to Don. "Zamera?"

 

Don silently mumbles "mmhmm"

 

"You can see it all over his face, who does he think he is fooling?"

 

Angie shakes her head and smiles. "Goodnight Joel" she hugs him and Heads upstairs.

 

"Well, well son, have you thought about what we discussed?"

 

Joel reaches the bottom of the stairs and finishes his last button of his suit jacket. He rubs his head as he stands directly in front of Don face to face, trying to keep a straight face.

 

"can't say that I have sir, been kinda busy"

 

Really?

 

Don pats Joel on the shoulder and turns him toward the living room as they exit the foyer and enter the now quiet room.

 

Now son, I know what's going on.

 

Do you? Joel lifts one eyebrow as he reminds himself that Don is a good man, he may not be the best father, but he is a good man. Go on sir.

 

Don detects a gliche in Joel's character.

 

What do you know, you know what's going on? Go ahead, Mr. Don Kingsley III tell me.

 

Don steps back with a frowned and confused face.

 

What's this?

 

Joel sighs. Nothing look it's late and I have to get to bed I have a long day tomorrow, the auditors will be by and I also have a couple of important meetings to attend to. If there is nothing else, may I leave?

 

Joel what is it? Why are you acting like this? Did you and Zamera have it out, did the two of you straighten some things out?

 

Joel's face is straight.

 

Yeah, we talked- he tilts his head. a little, why? Is there something that you want to know?

 

Don laughs. Ok Joel, you know what?

 

Don pats him on the shoulder. You go ahead and go home and get some rest.

 

Joel walks away quickly.

 

I will, goodnight Don.

 

 

 

He opens the closet door and grabs his jacket and leaves.

 

Angie walks to the foyer to turn off the lights.

 

"What was that all about?"

 

"I haven't a clue"

 

Don kisses Angie on the cheek, as she walks into the kitchen to finish cleaning.

 

"Want me to help?" Don ask as he walks up the steps.

 

"No thanks, sweetie Mike and Ella volunteered you go ahead and go to bed"

Angie smiles as she wipes her hands on her apron.

 

"You are so beautiful to me??can't you see??your everything I hope for?.."

 

Angie stops in her footsteps as she hears Mike serenading Ella in the kitchen. She peeks in as Mike is drying dishes as Ella is sweeping the floor. How sweet, I believe they would enjoy this time together she thought. She un wraps her apron and lays in on the counter and slips away unnoticed. Mike had a voice that would melt iron, he was kind hearted and sensitive.

He was perfect for Ella. Ella stands in awe blushing as Mike takes the broom out of her hand and replaces it with his. They dance on the kitchen floor to nothing but the sound of the melodies flowing out of Mike's mouth.

 

Joel pulls into the driveway of his condo. Who does he think he is?

Why would he instruct Zamera to do something like that? Joel sat in his car reflecting on the information he pulled from his wife regarding her disappearance for two years. He cut the car off got out of the car and walked into the house. He paused as he entered his kitchen. Although I didn' t help leaving her every weekend for these stupid business trips Don was sending me on. Joel stomach turned as he thought back on the Things Zamera revealed to him as they sat up in her room and talked earlier

This evening. Joel placed his keys on the counter began to loosen his tie as he entered his front room he reached down grabbed the remote and flicked it on as he flopped down on his leather sofa. He stretched back as he kicked his shoes off. He began to dose off just when the phone rang. He reached over to the receiver with his eyes still closed.

 

"hello?.

 

"Jojo? Joel snaps up from his leisure at the sound of Zamera's voice.

 

..yeah?.what is it? You alright?

 

Yes I'am alright, look I changed my mind. I'll be home tomorrow, I will let daddy know.

 

Joel rubs his face and neck as he corrects his posture.

 

Are you sure? You want me to come and get you now be-

 

 

No,?.. Jojo I will talk to father and I will be home tomorrow?.k?

 

Joel face widened as he became filled with excitement. My wife is coming home he could hardly contain himself.

They hung from each other in the back of his mind he still could not figure what would possess Don to instruct his daughter to entertain Cleo in such a way that would degrade her, and besides the fact she was married, he would threaten her with her inheritance. Joel was sworn to secrecy by Zamera to never mention that information nor bring it up. But his beliefs required him to think twice the more he thought of it the more convicted he became, how could expose Don a man whom he adored but now had no respect for?

 

The thoughts raced through Joel's mind as he laid back on the leather sofa And fell asleep and began to dream about Zamera his wife.

 

The next morning Zamera wakes up she stretches as she looks at her Alarm clock. 7:48 a.m. she walks over to her window to open her curtains as She pulls them back her mind fills with the thoughts of Joel her husband and how now, things are going to be different since he knows the truth she looks down a the front of the house her smile disappears as no one other than Cleo smiling up at her from his Porsche leaning on the front of his car waving and grinning. She snatches the curtains closed quickly as her

heart pounds she grabs her
