CHAPTER 26
Revelations, Terminations and Culminations
Come morning, the rain was washing the windows with a deluge as Tylowe and Meeah sat up in bed. Gold-toned, heavy-thread-count sheets covered their legs. Her breasts and his chest were bared to the world—they were comfortable and at home. The mirrored ceiling over their bed reflected the two leaning on each other. The rain made the lake look blurry, and the cloudy sky seemed to be at eye level as the wind blew. A powerful wind caused whistling sounds that died down and returned in sweeping bursts. The early morning gray sky went grayer in their eyes, as if smudged with a paint brush. The night before, a beautiful sunset had met them in the living room, and had set in motion the love they had made in the shower as the last of its light disappeared.
Many events in their life had set the stage for a conversation long overdue. It was time. With so much on his mind, he hoped all he had to say to his wife would not turn into a storm all by itself.

The stress of feeling trapped caused her to lose her emotional balance and disconnect her from reality for a short time. The mental breakdown allowed Elliot to take Meeah’s daughter away.
Meeah regained her balance, but then she was forced to live apart from her daughter. Elliot manipulated Meeah’s agony. Forced to remain married to him for the right to have some interaction with her daughter, she did what any mother would do. She bowed down to his ugliness and evil deeds to be in her daughter’s life.
How did it all go bad? Elliot conned her father, an influential Caribbean artist with a sizable fortune from his art galleries and an enormous art school in Vancouver, B.C. In a well-planned blitz, Elliot gained full control of all his holdings after Meeah married Elliot and her father died.
