Chapter 52: Deal Or No Deal?
“She’s calling your bluff,” said David Archer, Kane’s attorney who drafted the NDA that Serena signed when she came to live in the Beaumont mansion.
“What is she saying?” Kane asked.
“She said the NDA does not stop her from writing a book and it’s simply an attempt by you to silence her and take away her freedom of speech.”
“Does she have a point?”
“She does.”
“How so?”
“The agreement does not specifically say that she cannot write a book about her experience in the mansion, it simply restricts her from saying anything about her relationship with you.”
“Damn! Why didn’t you foresee this?”
“I apologize for the oversight but I never thought the situation would drag on this long, let alone become the subject of a tell-all book.”
“So, are you saying that we can’t stop her from writin

“I can’t believe it! How could she do that?” Chloe cried.“I’m just as shocked as you are,” said Emilia. “for some reason, it just seemed weird. As if Lillian wasn’t in her right senses.”“Probably not. I should press charges against that bastard for raping me. Maybe that will bring Lillian back to her senses.”Emilia shifted uncomfortably on her seat and adjusted her skirt even though there was nothing wrong with it.“What?” Chloe asked her big sister suspiciously. “You don’t want me to do it, do you?”“Chloe, you know I love you and I will always support you – ““But?”Emilia sighed. “The timing isn’t right. Kane and I are trying to put a lid on this Serena’s issue and it wouldn’t help if everyone’s attention gets divided because of your issue with Samuel.”“My

“Why am I not surprised?” Kane grumbled after Emilia told him about her conversation with Lillian.“We can’t let him get away with that,” said Emilia. “He can’t make her stay with him against her will. He stayed with her this entire time because it benefitted him, not because he loved.”“Well, that transactional marriage is about to end,” Kane said and got to his feet.“Where are you going?”“To pay my brother-in-law an important visit at his clinic.”“Please, be calm, Kane. Let’s not make things worse.”“What can be worse than what he’s already doing? Don’t worry, I’ll try not to beat him up.”Emilia chuckled and kissed her husband before he stormed out of his study to hunt down the offending Samuel. She ran into Elsie on her way to the art room.“I saw Kane rushing out of the house just now. Is everything alright?”“He’s going to have a word with Samuel about…”“What?”“Um, I don’t know if I should tell you.”“I’m still going to find out anyway, so you might as well tell me now. Wha

“Are you sure he’s going to go along with this?” Lillian asked fearfully.“He better or we’ll air him out and let the world know that he’s a serial rapist,” Kane replied confidently.“But he’s Crystabels’ father. We can’t do that to him.”“Would you rather he holds you hostage in a marriage that has already ended? He doesn’t want you any more than you want him. He’s only with you for his own benefit.”“I know but he could still use those explicit photos against me.”“What explicit photos?”“What do you mean? Didn’t Emilia tell you about them?”“No. She only said Samuel was blackmailing you but she didn’t specify what the blackmail was about.”“Oh…”“Lillian? What is it? What’s in the photos you mentioned?”She began to fidget in her seat. “I better get going. I’m meeting Mother at the city sports centre and the other organizers of the Women’s Wellness Outreach gala.”“I don’t care if you’re meeting with the governor and his ancestors, but if you don’t answer my question, you’re not le

“Romeo and Juliet… I was wondering when both of you will finally show up here,” said Serena with a delighted grin.“Let’s cut to the chase then,” said Kane curtly. “my wife and I are ready to offer you twice the amount you’re getting from the publishing house to write your book.”Serena giggled. “Are you trying to silence me? I am an American citizen and I have the right to free speech.”“Not if your free speech is a bunch of lies targeted at destroying our reputation,” said Emilia.“You’re one to talk. Aren’t you the same woman that cheated on her husband with a random farmhand in Wyoming? And you’re here talking about your reputation. How ironic.”“How much do you want?” Kane asked her.“I’ve told you a billion times already, Kane. I don’t want your money, I want you.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Divorce this woman who is unworthy of you and then marry me. I will be devoted to you, I will be faithful to you and I will make you proud wherever I go.”“That will never happen,” Emi

“That audio recording has done its magic,” Virgil informed Kane over the phone a few days after the TV interview. “the publishing company has cancelled their deal with Serena.”“As they should. She was going to write hundreds of pages filled with lies about me and my family. She should have taken the money I offered her.”“She might reach out to you for it.”“That offer is off the table. She missed her chance.”“Well, that’s that then. My work here is done but don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you need my services again.”“Of course, thank you.”After the phone conversation, he went in search of Emilia and found her in the sunroom with Lillian and Elsie.“Hello, ladies. May I join you?”“Of course, darling,” said Elsie. “we were going over the details of your upcoming wedding anniversary party.&r

“I really enjoyed our vacation but it does feel good to be back home,” Emilia sighed happily one week later as she relaxed in the family swimming pool with Lillian.Their children were in the kiddies' swimming pool nearby with their nannies and swimming instructors.“I can tell you had a great time. You’re glowing like a crystal ball.”“I am? Gee, thanks.”“I envy you. I wish I can go on a vacation too.”“Why not?”Lillian sighed heavily. “This divorce negotiation with Samuel is becoming a pain in the ass. We have another mediation scheduled for next week with our attornies.”“What’s going on?”“That greedy son-of-a-bitch wants spousal support and is demanding a piece of some of my properties.”“What!”“I can’t believe his audacity. What makes him think he’s entitled to anything

“We will have the mansion under a one-week surveillance to see if the stalker will show up again,” said the police officer, Gary Wesley. “so, have no fear, Mrs Beaumont. If he shows up again, we will catch him and arrest him.”“That’s very reassuring, thank you.” Said Emilia.“If the stalker isn’t caught this week, will you extend your surveillance by another week?” Kane wanted to know.“Let’s see how this week goes first but I am confident that we will catch the stalker if he shows up again,” said officer Wesley.“Fair enough. Thank you for your time.”After the policeman left, Kane joined Emilia in the sunroom where she was brooding alone.“Don’t worry, my love. You’re safe with me,” he said softly. “and if the police can’t protect us, nobody else can.”“I’m just trying to figure out who could be playing this prank on me. What if it’s Matt?”“Who? The Wyoming guy?”“Yes.”“I don’t think so. Why would he leave his job and family to come here and leave dumb notes for you?”“I know, bu

“Who is it?” Lara called out from the living room.“Don’t say a word,” Matt warned Emilia.“So, you’re the stalker.”“I hate that word. I wasn’t stalking you, by the way. I was just letting you know that I’ll come back for you and now, here I am.”“What do you think you’re doing, Matt?” She asked him softly. “How do you think this is going to end?”“It’s going to end with you following me quietly and going back to Wyoming with me. Or we could go to Connecticut together. Do you remember how much fun it was when we were together in that hotel, making love all night?”“That wasn’t a fun memory for me,” she replied flatly. “it was a painful time in my life when I was searching frantically for my missing child.”“Well, you’ve found her, haven’t you?
