Chapter Six

Clarice arrived on Vixen Island and was met by a driver in a Land Rover who took her past the hotel and public spaces up a drive clearly marked as Private to a mansion that was fit for a wealthy family like the Hollidays. Even though her temporary husband lived off the grid it was obvious by the cabin they were staying in that his family spent time with people like her mother’s clients. People with lots of money.

She’d voiced to Rudy that she was worried that if they didn’t stay married his dad would force him to try again or follow through on his threat to cut off access to Rudy’s trust fund. He’d laughed and told her even then between the possibility of renewing his show contract for three more seasons and what his equipment and clothing lines made, he was only going from a billionaire to a millionaire. She had no idea how to live with that kind of money. She and her mom had to scrip and save for everything until recently.

The vehicle pulled to a stop and her mother met her at the door. “Mom, what in the world is going on?”

Her mother smiled at her. “I believe I could ask you the same thing, young lady. I leave New York and you’re engaged to one man and you show up here married to another one for almost a year?”

She entered the mansion to an opulent foyer and her mother led her deeper into the house like she belonged there, down a hall and into a kitchen with a breakfast nook where two silver dome covered plates and a bottle of chardonnay awaited them. “Let’s eat and you can explain how you ended up married to a hot Reality TV star. The very one you watch every single week without fail, I might add.” Her mom gave her that look that said she wasn’t going to take anything less than the whole truth for an answer.

They sat and uncovered perfectly grilled salmon drizzled with roasted red pepper cream sauce and served with roasted asparagus and creamy mashed potatoes. As they ate Clarice spilled the whole story to her mother of what had happened in Vegas the year before and how she came to find she was still married to Rudy.

Evelyn looked at her and smiled. “I knew something had happened when you were in Vegas but I didn’t know exactly what. You changed so much when you came home from that weekend. Your obsession with finding the perfect scientifically supported match for yourself was the first clue; the fact that you quit drinking anything you didn’t see poured or opened yourself was another. But I would have never guessed you were married and certainly not to the hot guy you insisted on watching on TV every week.”

“I didn’t know I was still married to him, Mom. I hired a lawyer to get me a quick divorce before I came home. How was I supposed
