“Dad. You knew. That’s why you have a piano here and one at the villa.”

Augustus merely smiled and offered no apology for keeping it to himself.

Julius’s embrace tightened, and he whispered to Macey, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Caden doesn’t usually like a lot of attention. I figured he’d tell you when he was ready.” Macey gave him an apologetic smile.

Caden finished to the stunned crowd’s applause. He smiled, uncomfortable with the attention, but he stayed at the piano and started playing a new song. This one was much simpler and more familiar if one knew their Disney movies, especially ones starring dogs. Aria’s voice soon joined him singing Bella Notte in Italian.

Her little voice rang out clearly, resonating throughout the gallery. “È dolce sognar e lasciarsi cullar, Nell’incanto della note…”[1]

As she finished, Aria giggled at the amazed faces. Applause erupted throughout the gallery. Caden scooted

    Franklin gave them a sympathetic look, but he wouldn’t interfere with their parenting. Something told him there was more to the story, but he stayed silent. Right now, he was just glad he hadn’t gone crazy and made the whole thing up like his friends insisted. “And that goes for you too,” Macey turned to her father-in-law. “Me? What did I do?” “I don’t know, yet. But I know you had something to do with all of this and when I find out how…” He shared a look with the twins. It was doubtful they would be able to hide the whole truth once their mother started interrogating them, but their plan had succeeded, so it was a small price to pay. Augustus cleared his throat. Victoria smirked at his discomfort. “You’re not off the hook either,” Macey fixed her with a stare. “Me? Why?” “There is something going on, and I’m going to find out what.” “I just got here.” Macey

    Six Months Later “Maman! Maman! Look at me! Do I look pretty?” Aria laughed as she twirled. She wore a white, sleeveless princess-style dress. The top was satin while the skirt was a gauzy material. Aquamarine and peridot colored rhinestones were applied to the skirt, concentrating along the hem. Her hair was piled up in a messy-style bun with her curls still able to bounce as she moved. She wore a crown of white flowers with rhinestones in the center of each. Her tights had a floral pattern and her shoes were white. “You look like a princess,” Macey smiled. “How do I look?” Aria pressed her lips together as she studied her mother. Macey’s dress was mermaid-style, strapless, with a sweetheart neckline. The material had a satin finish and was made to look as if it wrapped around her, giving it added texture as well as accentuating her curves, which now included a growing belly. Her skirt, which flared just below h

    This time their photographer was Macey’s assistant, Dillon. Dillon, freshly graduated from college, was originally hired by Macey as an au pair for the twins. It was a position Dillon’s friends discouraged her from taking, especially after they heard she would be working for an American, but she really needed the money. Macey proved a surprisingly amiable employer and the money she offered was good. Coincidentally, Dillon’s dream was to be a photographer, a dream Macey was living, and Macey was the first to really encourage her interest. Not only did Macey let Dillon tag along to different photo shoots and even explained how to work and care for the equipment, Macey also gifted her one of her old cameras as a bonus. Though the camera was an older model and somewhat out of date, it still worked well enough to be Macey’s backup. She also gave Dillon free access to her darkroom and taught her how to develop her own pictures. Macey turned out to be the bes

    Paul sat quietly nursing his drink. The reception was held on the patio with circular tables arranged along the perimeter. Off to one side was a piano with the center left open for the dance floor. The largest table held not just the bride and groom, but the entire DaLair family, from its reigning patriarch to the twins. As close friends, he, Victoria, Franklin and Dillon (when she wasn’t taking photos) were seated at a neighboring table which would have normally been for Macey’s family. From there, he had an excellent view of the happy couple. Macey could not stop smiling. She leaned in whenever Julius moved to kiss her, which he often did whether the crowd tapped their glasses or not. They followed traditional French meals, beginning with an apéritif[1], which Macey substituted with sparkling juice she shared with the twins. Then hors d’oeuvres were served, followed by a main course with a choice of vegetarian, seafood and chicken alongside a plate o

    “She stopped playing after her father passed,” Augustus informed. His sons looked at him in surprise. Neither of them had made the connection. “He’s the one who taught her to play. They had his grandmother’s old upright and there was one key that was always out of tune, no matter how often they had it adjusted. But he and Macey would sit together and play, just like this.” Augustus looked over at Macey and Caden with a smile. No doubt, memories were running through her head as she played. Her fingers moved over the keys with a natural ease. No one would be able to tell it had been decades since she last played seriously. As the duet finished, the pair paused before shifting to Chopsticks, making more than a few chuckle as they ended with a flourish. Laughing, Macey hugged Caden, whose expression was ecstatic and without his usual reserve. Aria pulled her dad’s ear close, whispering, “It’s time for your dance, papa.” Julius smiled, standing

    Julius poured melted butter over the bowl of steaming popcorn before lightly shaking salt over it all. It might have been quicker to pop it all in the microwave, but that popcorn lacked a certain flavor. Air-popping it and mixing it like this was how he remembered doing it when he was a kid, and it brought back the movie nights they used to enjoy when he was little. “Hurry up, papa!” Aria impatiently called from the living room. She and her brother had been excited when he brought up the idea of movie night. It seemed Macey hadn’t instituted any special nights like that to entertain them. When they wanted to play a game, they had game night, when they wanted to watch a movie, they had movie night. When he first arrived in Paris, he went along with it. After all, he didn’t have anything scheduled and no work to do. Instead, he filled his days by spending time with his babies and wife. They naturally saw fit to give him a proper tour and even introduced

    When he first married Macey, he still considered her a friend of the family. He had numerous relationships with various women, all of whom were obsessed with his wealth. None of them loved him. To say he was disillusioned with the idea of love was putting it mildly. When Augustus first suggested he marry Macey, Julius was against it. After all, she was like a cousin, almost a sister, with how close they had been growing up. On the other hand, she was safe. She had grown up alongside him and his brother and was like family. Her only connection to high society was the DaLairs themselves. She didn’t have allies or ulterior motives. Macey was loyal to his family and wouldn’t connive behind his back, or so he thought. So he agreed to the marriage. It never occurred to him that she would genuinely be in love with him or that she had been for some time. Perhaps if he looked more closely he might have realized the truth sooner. Their wedding was a formal a

    Having known so many women like that in his past, it was enough to enrage him. Instead of asking her about the rumors, he simply turned his back on her. Was it the overwhelming sense of betrayal that someone he deemed a close friend would do that to him or the idea his entire family had been duped? He wasn’t sure which stung more, but it led to him drinking more and ignoring her any time she tried to talk to him, not that she tried often. Macey had always been so full of life and laughter when they were kids. But not long after the rumors started, she became pale and quiet. Perhaps the rumors weighed heavier on her than he had thought. It was like she was being eaten up on the inside by them. No doubt, she hadn’t wanted to burden him with her problems, but he was her husband. Who would support her if not for him? James Goodwell. The world’s most shameless flirt and the worst example of a chauvinistic male to ever exist. The only thing longer than his
