Chapter9

Amedeo had been thinking about the future all day. The idea that he was going to be someone’s parent was becoming more and more real as time progressed. . Violet would eventually be showing. He’d see an ultrasound that looked like a baby.

He had to stop and catch his breath. Having a child was nothing like running a company or even selling a company. He would have to figure out something new. Not that he wasn’t up for the task, he just couldn’t do as much research as he normally did when he embarked on a new venture.

Running a company was the same no matter what the business was. The models were all the same. Raising a child was a very different prospect. Madge had faith that he could do this and she knew him better than even his mother.

Damn. He still needed to talk to his mother. She wouldn’t want to find out from someone else, but no one in his circle of friends would reveal anything. Most of them didn’t know. He hadn’t been forthcoming with anyone, but Dante and Salvatore and he knew they wouldn’t want to tell his mother.

He sighed. His life was about to get even more complicated.

Then he had a thought. His child would be born out of wedlock. His child would be a bastard. No. He didn’t want that. He would have to marry Violet. Then they could divorce and she would get a settlement from him. They could have a prenuptial agreement. That’s how the paperwork would work out.

She would have to be his wife when she delivered the baby. She could be on his insurance then and he wouldn’t have to pay so much out of pocket. Why didn’t he think of that before?

Madge came in with some papers to sign. “You look triumphant.”

“I just solved a few of my problems.”

“Oh?”

“I don’t want my child to come into this world a bastard.”

She waved her hand. “That doesn’t hold any stigma anymore.”

“It does for me. I’m old-fashioned.”

“So what’s the answer?”

“I’m going to marry Violet. I can put her on my health insurance. We can draw up a prenuptial agreement and then she’ll be set when we divorce.”

Madge looked at him like he had two heads. “So you think this independent woman is going to just up and marry you?”

“Yes. Why not? It makes the most sense.”

“You think a woman wants to get married because it’s practical?” Madge said.

“We’re not in a romance.”

“What are you doing then?”

“I don’t know what you’d call it, but we aren’t in love. Violet will see the benefits of what I’m talking about.”

Madge shook her head. “She’s not going to like it.”

“Well, I think she will.”

Amedeo shook his head. He knew women. If he and Violet were married, her life would be even more secure. “I’m going to ask her.”

“I would pay to be in that room.”

“You can’t. You have work to do.”

Madge left him. Amedeo found Violet in her office. She was intent on whatever she was doing.
