it wasn’t, was it? She tried to shake you down again, didn’t she?”
    “It doesn’t matter,” Henry said. “None of these details matter now. What’s most important is how we plan to deal with this from this point on.”
    “I plan to find Dane Donovan and beat some sense into him,” Trent stated coolly.
    “No!” Henry yelled. “You will not go anywhere near him.”
    All eyes fell on Henry once more. They were thinking Dane was his son. Bruce knew this because he’d thought it on more than one occasion.
    “With all due respect, dad,” Trent said the last word with as much sarcasm as Bruce suspected the rest of the children could have at this moment. “You don’t get to call the shots on this one. We know that Jaydon drove off in a truck with this guy, so he’s probably the one behind those pictures of Parker and Adriana going out. If Jaydon killed Giovanni, then she’s the cause of Savian being arrested for murder. That little video last night, it ruined not only Savian’s wedding, but Christmas for all of us. Yeah, I’m beating his ass for all of the above.”
    “And then what?” Bernard asked. “What happens after you beat him to a pulp? He’s done his homework, Trent. He knows this family. Each and every one of us. And if he knows anything about you he’s going to be expecting you to do exactly what you’re planning.”
    “Good,” Trent said. “I like a head on fight instead of this sneaking around bullshit!”
    “She wants something,” Al said. “Money again. She sent us a letter just before the family reunion. Roslyn wants us to pay her again.”
    “Absolutely not,” Jocelyn said. She looked to the other Senior wives for their agreement and received it as each of them nodded slowly. “She got one check out us, she won’t get another one.”
    “She’s right,” Beverly said. “Trent, you find Dane and get him to agree to a DNA test. Each of you will get tested as well.”
    Beverly looked at Al, then to Bernard and then turned to face her husband.
    “What if she goes to the press?” Brock asked. “Isn’t that what all this secrecy was about in the first place? What if when you order this guy to give up his DNA he tells his mother and she decides its time to spill the beans? Are you still afraid of that happening?”
    “We’re not afraid of anything, son,” Everette told him. “We were trying to protect our family, our legacy.”
    Regan stood. “Well, you’ve done a bang up job of that, don’t you think?”
    She moved quickly out of the room, Gavin right behind her.
    Reginald’s gaze followed Gavin out and Bruce knew that he was thinking of Gavin’s father, Tony Lucas, and the way he’d died. They hadn’t told the children that part of the secret, nor had they told about what Al suspected had really happened to Darla.
    “You make your own plan,” Trent said with a shake of his head. “Since you seem to think you’re good at it. As for me, I’ll handle this my way.”
    Linc reached for Jade’s hand as Tia moved to stand beside Trent. Adam followed his brothers and helped Camille out of her seat.
    “We’re going to protect our families now,” Linc told his father directly.
    They left and Bruce watched as his sons gave him and his brothers disappointed glares before leaving with their wives as well. Couple by couple the other younger Donovans left, until only the Seniors and their wives remained.
    “That didn’t go well,” Reginald said.
    “It’s not finished,” Al added.
    “No,” Beverly said before standing and looking at her husband. “It’s not.”

    She had pretty feet.
    That’s the first thing Brandon noticed about her as he walked along the pool deck of the luxury ship. It was the second day on the seven night cruise TJB Global Investments was hosting for its executives. A huge change from the normal mountain cabin retreats they’d attended years before to help boost morale and celebrate
