Trevor was standing behind Christopher. His eldest brother was a bit taller and wider than him so it was the perfect place to hide until he was ready for them to see him.

Amish born Joanna Yoder had been seventeen years old when her and her friends began Rumspringa. It was Amish tradition that teens can experience the English world without Amish rule and restrictions; that included experiencing alcohol, electricity, electronics, cigarettes, and even drugs. Rumspringa participants were allowed to live outside of the community during the two year period. After two years, Rumspringa teens return to the community and decide if they want to be baptized into the faith, living by Amish rules for the rest of their days or leave the community to live in the English world and be shunned by those you once knew – never to be heard from again. Joanna and several of her friends had rented a five-bedroom house in Cincinnati. The Amish boys had rented a six-bedroom house a block away. Joanna had been in awe of the English

The second eldest son of the Hudson clan, Trevor Hudson, had just finished ravishing Ava Bartholomew in her bed at her penthouse. She was a trust fund baby and the youngest child of Lester Bartholomew. Trevor was thirty-one. Ava was twenty-four; just ten years younger than her father’s current wife. Trevor had been seeing Ava casually for almost a year. Of course, he dated and slept with other women, but Ava was his favorite among the socialites and middle class ladies in his list of girls. She was fun and gorgeous. With her thick brown shoulder length hair, height, and perfect skin tone and button nose, she had modeled for Vogue and a few fashion shows. Of course, she didn’t have to work, but she liked doing things that put her in the limelight. Trevor didn’t mind her vanity. She had every reason to be vain as far as he

Eight weeks later . . .For the first time in two months, Selena had left the mansion with the baby. She had brought baby Christopher to the penthouse she and her husband owned in the city. That’s where Selena and her friends would meet most of the time. Joanna loved going to the penthouse because she could really let her hair down and talk to Selena like the friends they really were. Beverly Balsom, the third BFF of their group, had just arrived with wine and snacks.“Beverly, I’m not sure if Cheetos go with white wine,” Selena said with a wry smile.“Sure they do,” Beverly said. “Just try it.”Joanna shrugged and popped a Cheetos in her mouth. Then, she sipped the wine. “It is pretty good.”Selena chuckled as she put little Chris in the bassinet.“How is the little nipper?” Beverly asked.“Perfect,” Selena answered

A month later . . . The holidays had gone off without a hitch. Joanna had spent it with the rest of the staff like she had done for the past three and a half years. They exchanged small inexpensive gifts and had Christmas dinner in the mansion kitchen. But, most importantly, Joanna had enrolled in the New York School of Design. She was working toward a fashion design certificate. She was taking three required foundation classes currently. The rest of the classes she would take as time went on. Joanna had enrolled as a part-time student so she could keep her job at the estate. A full-time student at the design school could earn a certificate in a year. But, since Joanna was attending part-time she had no idea how long it would take her to earn

Three and a half months later . . . It was spring. The flowers were in bloom and the birds chirped happily at the estate. Joanna had finished her three core courses at the New York School of Design and she was now taking fashion illustration and fashion fabric classes. In between work and school, she had been creating a ball gown for the Masquerade Charity Ball the Hudson Family was hosting next weekend at the estate. But, Selena had told her to forget it a few days ago because Christopher had bought her a designer gown he wanted to see her in. Selena hadn’t seen the gown Joanna had made for her. Joanna looked at the light pink flowing gown on the statue figurine. She imagined herself in it and going to the ball. What she wanted was Trevor to

A few days later . . . Joanna sat in the chair in her quarters as Courtney put the finishing touches on her make-up. She had curled and fluffed Joanna’s thick mane and sprayed it with so much hair spray that Joanna thought she was going to choke. “Not too much eye shadow, Courtney. I’ll be wearing a mask,” Joanna said. “I know, but there is space around the holes of the eyes,” Courtney countered as she continued to work. After another few minutes, Courtney was finally done. “When we have mo

Trevor stood in one of the corners of the ballroom with Bruce, Trevor, Christopher, and Selena. After dinner, he had become bored. Normally, he would have found a girl and whisked her away to a private spot where they could get better acquainted. Every time he entertained the thought, Ava or her mother, Whitney Bartholomew, appeared at his side. It was like clockwork.Then he had figured what the hell, he’d just take Ava and sneak her to his bedroom. She was his favorite girl. Ava wore a purple mask that matched her dark purple ball gown that showed so much cleavage that it was begging for Trevor to put his face in it. But, when he had whispered his idea to Ava during a dance, she had blushed and then refused. The way she saw it, there were too many important people there and they had to network. Trevor was the best networker in the family. He had made the rounds twice and would again

Ava looked around the ballroom with her mother looking for Trevor. There was no sign of him. “You see,” her mother hissed. “You can’t leave men for a minute without a commitment. What were you thinking coming to look for me?” Her mother was wearing a black ball gown that showed off her shoulders. She also wore a black mask with black feathers that hung out on the sides and the top. Her mother carried a black lacey fan. She had told Ava that it made her outfit more daring, but Ava knew she had to counter-act her hot flashes. “You were gone for so long I thought something happened to you,” she said defensively. “What could have happened to me walking to

It was Saturday night and Beverly Balsom would rather be at a club instead of pulling up to the Hudson mansion. She loved Selena like a sister, but she didn’t want to attend some boring ball with a bunch of elitists snobs. But, Selena had said it was worth her while to attend and to bring her reporter hat. She had also asked Beverly to arrive an hour earlier than the invitation had said. It had arrived The N.Y. by carrier for her. When Beverly had asked why she needed to arrive early, Selena had told her it was for a society scoop and she’d be the only reporter to write about it because Judy Budd was definitely not on the invitation list. Beverly got out of her ten-year-old beat up Ford Explorer. She handed the valet her keys and a five dollar tip. “Please don’t park it next to a limo or a Porsche,” she to

Two days later . . . Ava was at her penthouse. She was reading the September edition of Vogue when someone rang her doorbell. “I wonder who that could be,” she mumbled and looked at her watch. It was almost two o’clock. She wasn’t expecting her mother or any friends to drop by. Ava walked to the door and looked out the peephole. Her mouth dropped open. She couldn’t believe it. She thought it would be a whole week before she heard from him. Ava unlocked the door quickly and opened it. “Trevor,&rdq

Joanna and Selena rode in the black sedan Sonny was driving. The car belonged to Rebecca. Sonny pulled up next to Bruce who was waiting at the beginning of the dock just like he had said he would be. The top of the dress was tight. Her breasts were smashed together and road high, showing prominent cleavage. Even though it looked good and her nipples were well covered by the silk slits in the sheer fabric, she was a little embarrassed by how much she was showing. After all, she was going to be in front of a minister in a few minutes.Bruce helped Joanna get out of the back of the sedan while Selena climbed out the other side. Joanna quickly made sure her dress was in order and the veil over her face was straight. Her hair was full of soft brushed out curls.“Are you ready?” Selena asked.“I suppose I

Christopher was the first one dressed for the nuptials that was going to happen in an hour and a half. He and Bruce had been on the phone with Lance Milton for an hour and a half drawing up Trevor’s prenup. It had to be a short document considering the situation, but they covered everything. In case of divorce, Joanna would get a twelve million dollar settlement and twenty-thousand dollars a month in child support until any children they had turn eighteen. Trevor signed the prenup while Bruce was in the bathroom showering a shaving. Christopher signed as one of the witnesses. Selena had gone to the main house to help Joanna get ready. She was going to get dressed in Joanna’s room. Trevor plopped down on the sofa. He had on a pair of beige slacks. He was bear c

Trevor figured his family wasn’t up yet since they weren’t at the dining table with him, Joanna, and nine other guests. Four of the guests were from cabins on the property.Rebecca and Horace were overjoyed about Trevor’s and Joanna’s decision to get married today and was willing to do whatever it took to make it happen.After breakfast, Rebecca and Horace brought Joanna and Trevor into the kitchen to discuss what they wanted for the wedding. Guests were all over the main house so the kitchen was the only place to have a quiet discussion. They had asked the middle-aged couple to not tell William if he called. They didn’t want anyone to know until they got back to New York. The innkeepers agreed. After discussing what they wanted for the wedding, Rebecca prepared breakfast sandwiches for Trevor to take to the Hudson cabin. He knew they didn&rs

Joanna was relieved and happier than the man on the moon. Trevor kissed her forehead. She couldn’t believe this was happening. For once in her life, she was totally and truly happy. “Darling,” he began as he pulled back a little. “I hate to spoil this moment, but I have to ask you.” “What?” she said with wide eyes. “What in the world did Whitney Bartholomew say to you that you believed that I had a PI follow you and then I was so furious, disgusted, and distraught about what was discovered that I raced over to her penthouse and proposed to Ava?” “Oh, Trevor,” Jo

Trevor felt like he was going insane. He paced the hallway like a man possessed. Christopher was sitting in a Victorian wooden chair in the hallway. Bruce was leaned against the wall looking morose. The damn dog had followed them upstairs for some reason. He sat a few inches away from Bruce, watching Trevor pace. This dog is nosy. Thank, God he can’t talk. If he could, he’d probably be the biggest gossip in town. “What in the world are they doing in there?” Trevor asked. “It hasn’t been that long really,” Bruce whispered. They were trying to be as quiet as they could. Several

Joanna entered her room as quickly as she could. She closed the door and locked it. She had half a mind to brace something against it. What was going on? Rebecca must have come in her room earlier because there was an oil lamp that was lit on the round table and a flashlight was next to it.Joanna started pacing, trying to get her mind to work – to make sense of what was going on and why? Someone knocked on the door. It could be Rebecca but . . . Trevor was fast. He probably was closer behind her coming up the steps than she had realized. “Joanna?” a woman said through the door. Well, at least it&r
