CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

THINGS WITH LAVERE’ and Cynthia had settled into a very comfortable routine. Their evenings together were spent usually at his estate in Hanover, which was about thirty minutes away down interstate 95. The best part of Cynthia was, she was no longer the third wheel, and that was worth her weight in gold. The only thing that seemed out of place was LaVere’s Secretary, Jamal. He made her keenly aware that he did not care for her at all. Hell, that was nothing new for her; she dealt with that all her life. There were times when LaVere’ was not around that he made comments she did not appreciate and she let him know it in no uncertain terms. Once, he told her, “In my country, you would be whipped into silence.” Cynthia replied, “In my country, I will shoot your ass if you put a hand on me,” and walked away. There was another instance during the week when she heard him talking to someone on the telephone about LaVere’ and his affections towards her. When he hung up, she asked him who he was talking to.

When she and Rosaline shopped for the Policeman’s Ball scheduled for the next day, they also picked up all the ingredients for her home-cooked dinner for LaVere’. Surprisingly she was actually excited about the evening. Normally she would simply make a call and have the entire meal catered, but this one she was going to do with her own two hands. Of course, she will receive step-by-step instructions from Roz, but hey, it’s her first step.

The telephone rang as she walked into the kitchen, it was Marco. Roz sprained her ankle coming down the stairs and was ordered off her feet for the next twenty-four hours. Things for the ball were set, but she would not make it over to help with dinner for LaVere’. She talked to Roz for a few moments just to ensure she was okay and things for the ball were stable. But then when she hung up the telephone she realized her hopes for the evening were ruined. Desperate, Cynthia wasn’t sure what to do and was about to give
