Fiona

J eremy read the morning newspaper, as he usually did every day, with a cup of black, sugarless coffee. A headline on the third page made him chuck the paper down on the table and stand up angrily.

“What is it, my love?” Fiona said, noticing his distress.

“Someone has exposed our plan to the public. This is going to make things very difficult for us. Look,” Jeremy said, and chucked the newspaper to Fiona. She found the page and read it out loud.

“The Rineheart Family: Monsters in Disguise.”

“We’ve been very careful with all of this so far. Even if there was some outrage, it would have been at a later date, when we’ve already built and there was no going back,” Jeremy said.

He stroked the hair on his chin.

"Someone must have alerted the media. How else would everyone know about it?" Fiona said.

"Yeah, you're right. Hopefully, this doesn't blow up too quickly. We can't have this happening. Construction is due in only a few months."

Jeremy paced around the room. He knew how much power the people could have when they were in groups and all believed in the same thing. If enough people were notified of this movement, then they very well could stop it from happening. He scoffed.

“It’s disgusting, Fiona. Why won’t people let us have our peace?” Jeremy spat.

“We’ll figure this out, Jeremy. You just focus on your work, and I am sure it will work out,” Fiona said softly.

“Don't act so calm. You don't even seem to care! Do you even care that our entire empire is at risk with this? We have been in this situation before because of Alice’s antics, I’m not letting it happen again. No way. Why did you have to raise such a wild child, Fiona?”

“Excuse me? Huh. How dare you say that to me? She is our daughter. Don’t you dare blame this on me. Have you ever considered that that’s just who she is, and we won’t be able to change that? Spend a little less time working and a little more time on self-reflection and get your shit together!”

“Oh, me? Get it together? Pfft. You haven't had to work a day in your life. I took you away from that terrible poverty-ridden life. You get everything you want and need, plus more! Don’t challenge me like this. You know I don’t like it when women challenge me, Fiona.”

“What? Are you going to strike me again? Do it then, since I’m not the perfectly trained little submissive wife that you want!” Fiona shouted.

“Fiona!” Jeremy spat,

Jeremy raised his hand above his head but brought it back down to his side. Fiona could see his temper was rising but with clenched fists and a red face, he tried to compose himself,

“I have some business to tend to. I won't be back until tomorrow.”

“Fine! Go!” Fiona shouted, and opened the door for him to leave.

He gathered his suitcase and left with a brisk walk. Fiona slammed the door hard when he was out of sight.
