Chapter 10 - The Reunion
"Your sister is here to join us! Isn't it wonderful that she's finally home?!" My mother beames at my sister as though she just invented the wheel right in front of us. I stop and quietly ask my mother. "What is she doing here?" I really should have expected it. This is something my mother would do. A disguised set-up is right up her alley. I really don't know why it surprised me to see Carrie here. I really should have expected it. Carrie places the small fan onto the table, stands up and looks at me and say "Josefine. Long time, no see little sister. You look...haggard. I suppose Father Time has been rather cruel to you." Nice. Years apart with absolutely no contact of any sort and thats her first comment to me. "Mother, I have to say. Im disappointed in you. Hello to you too, Carrie. Now I know you two brought me here for a reason and its not 'brunch', so...why am I here? Whats wrong with an email?" Carrie smirks at me as though she finds me funny while my mother looks.

Chapter 11 - The Battle for the Castle
I should have just gone straight home, turned up the AC og sleep the day away. But I was still in an angry and bitchy mood and very hungry now that I missed out on the amazing looking brunch, so I stopped at Pascals and got their delicious steak salad, a chocolate chip coockie and a lemonade to-go, and then went directly to the warehouse to eat my food and have my meeings. I hadn't been lying to my mother when I said I had other meetings todays. But this mornings interaction bothered me more then I thought it would have. I mean... I know this move would come eventually. With my mother's ambitions for her first born, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. My mother has always been very clear as to who was and still is the favorite child and made no lies about that. There was an heir and and couple of spares and my big brother and I was the spares. And I've always known Carrie hated my guts. This "intervention" of theirs was exactly something they would do. But I truly do

Chapter 12 - To Wash Away The Sins Of The Day
Arriving home after a....challenging day....I briefly saw James' black loafers were gone and guessed he was probbaly still at the office. Excellent! I wanted nothing more than to drink a large glass of white wine while having a lovely bath. I wanted to just....soak...the sweat and grime of the city off my body. This summer had been non-stop rain followed by a now 2 month long heatwave and the heat has been unbearable-on a good day! The sweating nonstop is a chronic condition for everyone right now...especially if you leave any airconditioned rooms. I felt I was beginning smell rather ...ripe. So a bath was now at the top of my to-do liste! Normally, when Im home, I like to do most things I want to do by myself and rarely actually rely on the staff for mundane tasks, but today I asked one of the maids to fill up the tub with water and to get me a large glass of a lovely white wine before sending them out of the house. I went to the kitchen and took out the couple of steaks from the f

Chapter 13 - The Naked Truth
The door opened again and then quietly closed shut. Thank God. We really hired some competent people. I really didn't want to talk to anymore people. I just wanted to soak my problems away! I should probably just get that divorce. Not for Carrie or my mother's sake. Or even James' sake. But for my own. I deserve a happily ever after. I deserve to be loved in return just as much I love. At the very least I deserve to have someone freaking listening to me when I open my month and confess my secrets. Not just someone who pretends to listen and instead think about work or another woman and only returns to the present when I ask a question. I really cannot believe that I didn't realize it before. I guess love really does make you stupid at times. "Well...this looks cozy-Room for two in there?" a smooth voice asked. I shot straight up in the tub, quickly realizing that the door opening had not been Lisa with my robe and towel. But instead my suit-clad husband...who was taking off hi

Chapter 14 - This Is....Wooing?
I stared at the door where my husband had just left stark naked as the day he was born. He wanted to be the one who'd give me a happily ever after??? Since WHEN?!? And wasn't he supposed to be in love with my dear sister?! And how the hell is it possible to have that many abs as a mere mortal?! Im so confused. Well....so much for my relaxing bath! I got out of the bath, dried myself off and walked in to the bedroom to put on my night clothes....only to stop abruptly due to the fact that a piece of paper, rippedfrom my notebook lying on my nightstand, had been thrown onto my bed with the words "The courtship shall now begin! I will woe you so hard that you will quickly realize that there is only one solution for a happily ever after for you....by staying married to me! -J"Woe? He wanted to woe me? Hard? And people called me strange....Apparently they hadn't met my husband!I found my camisol and night shorts, got into bed and finally fell asleep...strang

Chapter 15 - Dinner Interrupted
I arrived at Pascinis at little past seven. I gave my name and the hostess gave me a huge smile and led my to our table. James had already arrived and had been seated at the table. He smiled, gave my body the elevator look and stood up to greet me. He leant towards me and said"Hi Darling. You look gorgeous as always." and proceded to kiss my cheek. Like a freaking school girl I couldn't control the blush that suddenly dominated my entire face. I could literally feel the blood rush to my face. "Thank you" I muttered and sat down in the chair he held out for me. "I've been looking forward to this all day I must admit." He confessed and sat back down in his own chair. "Really? I thought you would have focused on work. I thought you were still dealing with the whole Eastern route issue." I said and sipped the white wine he poured for me. Mmmmh....fresh and slightly citrusy. "Excellent choice on the wine selection" I muttered. "I didn't realize you paid so much attention to my work. I s
