Stephen escorted them to baggage claim and helped carry their five bags back to the car. Once they were situated in the limo, he drove them directly to the store. Augustus hadn’t just arranged them time to shop, but had reserved the whole store for their exclusive use. Security stood outside the doors, allowing Macey to shop unperturbed by other shoppers aside from her overly eager twins. The situation made Macey uncomfortable, but she decided to roll with it. She knew from experience how overbearing Augustus could be when he wanted something, but his heart was usually in the right place.

Sifting through the racks, Macey eventually found one that piqued her interest. Taking it back to the changing room, she emerged wearing the hunter green evening gown. It had a high neckline, leaving her back and shoulders bare though it covered her chest. It fit her like a second skin hugging her curves and left very little to the imagination despite its coverage. Its snug fit c

    “Excuse me?” Katherine scoffed. “Do you know who I am?” The security officer didn’t answer. His orders were very simple. No one was to enter while the party currently inside the store remained. The actual time limit was nominal. If the shoppers took longer, the patron who reserved the store promised to pay more, thus ensuring they could shop in peace without interruption for as long as they wanted. Katherine took out her phone, “If you refuse to be reasonable I’ll just have to call my father. He’ll have you fired. Are you sure you can handle that?” “I’ll be fine, ma’am,” the guard informed her. “Are you sure you can handle the consequences?” Katherine felt her face warm as she angrily dialed her father. As soon as he answered, she began her tirade, “Daddy! I’m outside Saks and they won’t let me in! They say the store has been reserved, but this is the only time I can get my dress!” “Okay, okay,” her father sighed with

    Caden climbed on the bench and lifted the cover. He touched the keys in awe. His keyboard at home suddenly seemed like a poor imitation now that he sat at the real thing. Without hesitation, he began to play. The house was soon filled with the melody of Coldplay’s Clocks while Stephen brought in their luggage and shopping bags. Macey stood looking around her. Slowly, she stepped toward the patio door to look at the pool and well manicured yard. There was a small building tucked to the side. Even from a distance Macey could see the red light above the door. Combined with the lack of windows and ample ventilation, she knew it was a private dark room no doubt already stocked with all the needed supplies to develop photographs. She shook her head, looking at Stephen, and said, “This is too much.” “It was Mister DaLair’s wish that you have everything you need. The villa is also close to the gallery, which will be convenient for you.”

    Julius sighed as he sipped his fourth whiskey. He tried to chase away memories too dangerous to linger over, but failed. Why did his father always choose this place for his public birthday celebration? The worst night of his life had been here. He had avoided Katherine, so he counted himself lucky. Even so, it wasn’t enough to raise his mood. If only he could have found her. If only he hadn’t been such an idiot to begin with. Turning and leaning on the bar, he allowed his gaze to drift over the crowd. As he brought his drink to his lips, he suddenly froze. A familiar figure with a mane of red curls tamed in a large clip flitted through the crowd. He blinked, rubbing his eyes. It couldn’t be. Julius suddenly lurched to his feet and pushed through the crowd, looking for the stunning vision only to find she had disappeared. He stood, wondering if he had hallucinated it. Were all his years of failure finally catching up to him? “Julius. Hey, Julius.”

    Everyone froze. Idle chatter fell silent. The crowd parted, making way for the formidable DaLair patriarch. His gray eyes were a storm of rage. Harming his grandkids was a dangerous gamble. The entire crowd felt the unbearable tension, unsure of what was happening. No one knew what to expect until the little girl suddenly exclaimed, “Grand-père Gus!” Without hesitation, the pair ran up to the ruthless business mogul. Augustus’s scowl instantly disappeared. He dropped to his knees to catch the exuberant pair, wrapping them in a bear hug. “There are my little rascals!” he laughed, much to the crowd’s surprise. “We missed you grand-père!” the little girl said. “Why weren’t you waiting for us?” “I’m sorry sweetie. I got caught up with some business.” “That’s okay. We forgive you,” Aria said, her tone almost patronizing. Augustus chuckled, “Where’s your mother?” “Looking for you. Maman

    “Did you know!” March demanded. “Tell me you didn’t know!” “I—I didn’t…” Julius stuttered before taking a breath. “I didn’t find out until after she left. I found the pregnancy test in the trash.” March stood, stunned by the news. The only thing holding back his rage was his brother’s obvious distress. Over the years, Julius’s depression and desperation to locate Macey had only grown. At first, March thought Julius had finally realized his feelings for her, but now it was beginning to make more sense. It was not just Macey he was frantic to find. He was also desperate to find his child. “Shit!” March cursed. “Julius…” “I know I messed up,” Julius said before he could say anything. “Why do you think I’ve been so desperate to find her? Just the thought of her out there, alone, without me to support her…” “Funny you should say that,” March said as a thought suddenly occurred to him. “What do you mean?”

    “How long!” Julius demanded, throwing open the door to his father’s office. “How long have you known?” March followed a step behind, closing the door. This probably wasn’t the best conversation to have when everyone could listen to it. Augustus glanced up from the paperwork he was about to sign. His gray eyes were calm and appraising. Without a word, he returned to the paperwork in front of him, signing and handing it to Stephen. With a wave, he dismissed his steadfast assistant before turning his attention back to his sons. “Dad,” March prompted when he still didn’t speak. “How long have you known about Macey…and the twins?” Without a word, Augustus reached into the bottom drawer of his desk and removed a small photo album. He set it on the desk and shoved it toward them. Julius remained riveted where he stood. His hands were balled into fists as if fighting the urge to attack his own father, so March stepped forward to take the album. He s

    “She stayed three weeks under a doctor’s care,” Augustus said, earning pained looks from his son. “The situation put stress on the pregnancy. It was touch and go for a while.” Julius grimaced, bowing his head in shame. It was his fault. Because of him, she almost lost the babies, their babies. What would have happened if his father hadn’t intervened? He was both angry and grateful to the man who kept it all secret. “When she was finally stable, I told her you were looking for her. She told me about the divorce papers,” Augustus gave his son a disapproving scowl. “I asked her what she wanted to do. She said she wanted to leave. She couldn’t stay. It was too painful. She wanted a fresh start, to go back to school and finish her studies. I told her to pick a city. She said she always wanted to visit Paris.” Vaguely, Julius remembered Macey talked about seeing Paris. She stopped short of asking him to take her. Instead, she treated it like

    Macey set the kettle on the stove to boil. The villa was filled with Bach’s Minuet in G. She glanced into the living room to see Aria quietly coloring while her brother played. This was a common activity for both. The scene was so relaxing and familiar she was almost able to forget the tension of the night before. Macey knew returning was not going to be easy and she still wasn’t certain how she was going to face Julius. She didn’t know if she should count herself lucky she didn’t see him at the party or not. On one hand, it gave her more time, but on the other, sometimes it was better to get unpleasant tasks over with and be done. Not surprisingly, Augustus monopolized their time as soon as he saw them. His evident delight in spending time with his grandchildren warmed her heart and eased her worries. Even if Julius didn’t want anything to do with them, at least Aria and Caden would always have the love of their grandfather. The kettle
