Their table was semi-private but Sylvie could see the layout of the restaurant. She had definitely noticed how other people noticed Kelley. They seemed to want him to look at them or to acknowledge them in some manner but he never did.Kelley spoke in fluent Italian to the waiter and moments later the chef himself appeared. Kelley stood up and both men hugged and slapped each other on the back as men often did. “Guillermo, this is Sylvie,” Kelley introduced them.Guillermo kissed the back of her hand and patted Kelley on the shoulder again. They switched back to Italian and Sylvie could only stare at Kelley’s face. He seemed so at ease and people tended to drift toward him, even she had.Guillermo nodded his head enough times that Sylvie thought he’d get a sprain. After ten minutes of intense discussion, he left their table and Kelley turned his attention back on her. “I apologize for that,” Kelley said.“No, it’s fine,” Sylvie said.“Not really. It’s rude to speak in another language

Kelley spent two hours on the conference call, securing the land he wanted to buy and put up another hotel. The deal was a lucrative one, for both sides, and they were basically just dotting the i’s and crossing their t’s.“Thank you, Phillipe, we’ll talk again once the plans have been accepted by the municipality,” Kelley said and ended the call.He sat back down on his chair and winced slightly. Sylvie had really gone all out on his back. He didn’t regret it though. She had blown his mind, in more ways than one. She wasn’t petite like Milana and he hadn’t been afraid that he’d hurt her, well not as afraid.He should get Blaire to trace Milana’s whereabouts, talk about a financial settlement and get divorce proceedings underway. He hated to do it, he didn’t believe in divorce but there was no other way around it.He and Milana were history and Sylvie could possibly play a big part in his future. He liked her, knew that she liked him too. She wasn’t overly shy, never looked down and s
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Seventy-Eight
Three months later …Milana looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes looked hollow, her cheeks sunken in. Her hair had lost its luster and her stomach was so big she couldn’t even see her feet. The last five months had not been easy.She still worked for Clean and Shine and she still had the weekend shifts. Her utilities were expensive and for the last three months she went without electricity for the last four days of the month. She’d tried to be careful with her money but her well had dried up two months ago.In the beginning she’s supplemented her income by waitressing during the day but they had let her go last month. Her lethargic state of mind, the size of her pregnant belly and the fact that she struggled to carry the heavy trays had all counted against her.She took all the coupon pages from the newspapers in the office building she cleaned but even with all those coupons her budget was limited. She realized with a start that she wasn’t ready for this baby, didn’t have nearly

Kelley sat on the couch in his hotel room and looked out of the window. It was destiny hearing from Milana now. Lee had drawn up the divorce papers for him months earlier but he hadn’t actively been looking for her.His mind had been on other things, Sylvie mostly. He’d taken her to Maisina with him for the ground breaking ceremony and they’d spent a week there, having a little vacation of their own. He’d spent time with her, getting to know her and he liked her, a lot.The settlement he’d agreed to with Lee was a generous one, one he thought Milana would take in a heartbeat. The monetary offer was a good one with the exception that she needed to sign a non-disclosure agreement and change her name back to her maiden name and relinquish her rights on those twenty percent shares of the hotel in exchange for ten million dollars.Kelley had concluded his business in the city and would be checking out today. Her call had come at a good time. He could stop by her place, discuss the divorce

“Mr Alexander?”Kelley looked up at the man in scrubs that stood in front of him. He hadn’t heard the doors open or the man’s footsteps. He stood up and raked a hand over his face. It felt like hours that he’d been waiting for news, any news.“Yes. How’s Milana … my baby?”“You have a healthy baby boy, the nurses have taken him to be cleaned and dressed and he’ll be brought to Milana’s room in about twenty minutes.”“Milana’s okay?” Kelley asked as relief surged through him.“She lost a lot of blood and I’d like to keep her for another two days or so, just to monitor her. She was underweight for a pregnant woman and the baby’s a bit underweight as well. Her blood sugar is too low and she was dehydrated.”Anger started flowing through his veins. She hadn’t been taking care of herself and some of that was his fault. “But she’ll be fine?”“I expect so. Good food, lots of rest and no heavy lifting for the next four weeks and she’ll be fine. I assume you can take the baby home, there’s no
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Eighty-One
Mason emptied his glass of Scotch and stood up as the doorbell rang. Grace was spending the night with Carey and John and he was glad for it. He missed her presence in the house but he needed to come to terms with Andrea leaving.“Hi,” Mason said with a frown and opened the door wider so she could step inside.“Hi,” Sylvie said clutching a paper bag in her hand.He followed Sylvie to the living room where she placed the paper bag on the coffee table. She sat down on the couch and her head lowered to her knees. Her shoulders shook but she made no sound at all.“Is everything okay?” Mason asked knowing exactly why she was upset. Kelley had obviously told her about Milana and Kyzer.She lifted her head as tears welled in her eyes. “You really have to ask?”Mason smiled and shook his head as he sat down next to her. “You want a drink?”Sylvie wiped her eyes and looked at him. “Why are you drinking alone?”He filled his glass again and held it out to her. She took it and emptied it in one

Kelley didn’t sleep that night. He felt guilty over Sylvie for an hour and then he focused on Kyzer, himself and his work. Between the women, they had converted the room across from his study into a nursery and he felt lucky to have so many people in his life that cared so much.The door to his study opened and Kelley lifted his head from his arms. He’d fallen asleep at some point. His neck had a crick in it and he stared at Steel standing in the doorway with Kyzer in his arms. “He was crying and I don’t really know what I’m doing.”Kelley smiled and took Kyzer from him. Steel followed him back into Kyzer’s room and he stripped off the onesie and then the diaper.“Holy shit, what the fuck is that smell?”“Watch your mouth,” Kelley growled and Steel’s mouth clamped shut. “It’s poop, Steel.”Steel suppressed the grin on this face but took a step backwards as Kelley cleaned him and changed his clothes. “Were you standing outside his door?”“I was waiting for you to wake up,” Steel answer
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Eighty-Three
The nurse was back in the room when Kelley walked out of the bathroom with Milana. She smiled and nodded her head as Milana got settled back into a clean bed. The sheets had been changed and Steel knocked on the open hospital room door.“Perfect timing,” Kelley said as the nurse left them.Steel unpacked the food and pulled one of the visitor chairs outside into the hall and closed the door. Kelley settled on the edge of the bed again and handed her the Styrofoam plate with her breakfast sandwich.“Eat, please.”Milana picked the sandwich up and took a small bite. Kelley smiled at her and bit into his own breakfast sandwich. After Milana had eaten half of it, Kelley cleared their trash from the trolley and silenced his phone for the fifth time.“Thank you,” Milana said as she lay back on the pillows.“We should talk, unless you’re tired.”Milana lifted her head and nodded. “I’ll sign the divorce papers. All I want is maintenance for Kyzer.”Kelley took her hand in his and shook his he
