  Chapter 1

  Diana stared at the spread in the society magazine and could not believe it was really her! The caption read: ‘Plus sized model, a protégé and discovery of former International model Leesa Wellington looking great as she posed for our cameras.’ It went on to say that her shows in Europe had gone very well and she has been getting the television commercials on a steady basis. She stared at the pictures closely trying to come up with something she did not like but it looked so well. There was one with her in a powder blue romper and strappy sandals with her hair teased and curled and one with her in a black and white satin gown and red high heels which gave her added height. Her mother was so proud of her that she was showing the magazines to everyone at the beauty salon where she worked. Her brother Michael had told her with a smile that he knew she could do it.

  Her next assignment was not something she was relishing! Modeling and promoting a new Porsche at Rowland’s Import and Export. It was not something she liked doing and she thought that Jeffry Rowland thought too highly of himself.

  Diana went over to the full length mirror in her apartment to look at herself critically. Her complexion was a flawless cocoa brown skin and she had large hazel brown eyes that were quite unusual with her complexion but her mother had told her that there was a mixture in their bloodline somewhere in their family. She had thick dark brown hair that she had processed and which hung at her shoulders in gentle waves. She was a size eighteen and never let it bothered her not even when she was growing up. Two of her best friends were on the slim side and they had been friends since high school, she had never wanted to be them. Her mother had instilled a sense of confidence inside her from the time she was a little girl and growing up with her brother Michael who involved her in everything he was doing and never made her feel as if she was not wanted. When she had told her friends that she was going to be a model they had stared at her as if she had lost her mind but her mother had told her to follow her dreams. Both she and Michael had grown up without a father in the projects because he had run out on them when they were children leaving them to fend for themselves.

  She had always vowed that she was going to make her mother proud and provide for her so she could put her feet up and relax and she was slowly getting there!

  Jeffry nodded as his father opened the door and came into his office. He listened to the man on the other line attentively and made the right comments making little jottings on a pad on his desk. “We are expecting a shipment sometime this week,” he murmured watching as Jack Rowland went over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink of whisky even though it was not quite noon. “We will be in touch.” He said and hung up the phone.

  “The car mart on Silver Road?” Jack came over and sat on one of the plush chairs with his drink in hand as he faced his son.

  “Yeah,” Jeffry said briefly wishing he would leave. Jack Rowland was a figurehead at the company which he had inherited from his father and his father before him. it had grown substantially over the years but it was mainly due to Jeffry’s aggressive and ardent work that he had put into it. He was vice president of Rowland’s Import and Export and his father was President but he did not contribute to much of anything. Everyone at the company knew that it was run by Jeffry. “Something I can help you with?”

  “Abby told me you have been avoiding her.” His dark blue eyes very much like his son’s looked at him directly. “She said she has been inviting you over for dinner and you are not coming.”

  “Dad I am too busy right now to be caught up in the drama with your wife.” He told his father impatiently. “I have some calls to be made to Japan before the market close and to see about the vehicles coming from Germany. I don’t have the time for dinner parties.”

  “We are the only family you have son, kindly remember that.”

  “No you are the only family I have,” Jeffry corrected him coolly. “Your current wife is just an added package.”

  “I know you don’t like her but you can at least try to be civil.” Jack said with a hurt look on his handsome face.

  “Why do you think I avoid her?” Jeffry asked him sardonically.

  Jack stared at the younger man in frustration. He tried to remember a time when they had been close and could not recall. He had a feeling that it had something to do with the fact that he had introduced a stepmother into his life soon after his wife had died but what was he supposed to do? There had to be a woman to take care of both their needs! “I loved your mother,” he told the man quietly. “It’s just that I do not do well by myself, I wished you would understand that.”

  “I do but it does not mean that I have to be nice to the women you choose to hook up with dad.” His phone rang just then and he picked it up. “Vladimir happy you called!” he looked up to see his father leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

  *****

  Abigail Rowland ran slender fingers through her dark blonde hair as she sat by the pool in her red
two piece swimwear. The pool boy was cleaning out the leaves and she rubbed the cream over her body slowly and knew that he was watching her. She had been married to Jack Rowland now for three years and was determined to stay married to him. He was not exactly a dynamite in bed but the perks of being Mrs. Rowland far outweighed that. And moreover she had been forced to sign a prenup which stated that if she was unfaithful she would leave the marriage without a cent to her name. So she picked her lovers discreetly and always go to faraway places for her trysts. She had thought that she could be married to the father and have the son as a lover but he had turned her down so coldly that she had not ventured to speak about it again, hoping that he would not mention it to his dad. She suspected he would not have because they were not close. She had been trying to bridge the gap between father and son by inviting him to dinner but he had turned her down without even an excuse.

  She felt her pulse quicken as she watched the play of muscles in the pool boy’s arms. He was young and looked like he would be good in bed but servants tend to talk and she was running away from that. She was having an affair with the son of a friend of hers and they would meet in an apartment several miles away from here. She was seeing him later so that just would have to do.

  Diana did the pose and planted a smile on her face as the photographer snapped away. She had been at it for the past two hours and she was getting wilted and tired. Her feet felt sore and she wished she could take a break but they were being charged by the hour and she knew how important time was in this profession. They were doing a layout for a magazine called: ‘Big and Beautiful’ and she was going to be on the cover of it.

  “Okay Diana I think that’s about it,” Brian the slender photographer told her pushing up his glasses. “I know they are going to like these.”

  “Thanks Brian,” she told him with a smile as she stepped out of the heels she had been wearing and slipped into her strappy sandals. She had promised Michael that she would meet him for lunch at the cafe around the corner and wished she could put it off but she had not seen him in three weeks because he had been busy promoting the gym he was managing.

  She made her way to the café and waved to the woman at the cash register. Madge had been owner of ‘The Eatery’ since Diana was a child and still looked the same way she did those years ago. A few people waved at her and she could see a picture of herself that had been torn from one of the magazines placed on one of the walls.

  “I see you have become famous,” an amused voice drawled behind her.

  “Mike!” she jumped up and into his arms and snuggled against him as he closed his hands around her ample body. Michael Walker was her exact opposite. Tall with bulging muscles he was fairer than her by several shades and had gotten his complexion from their absentee father. His eyes were a liquid brown and he had close shaved wavy black hair. He called attention to himself wherever he went because of the way he looked.

  “Hey,” he greeted her gently planting a kiss on her cheek before holding out the chair for her to sit. Madge hurried over to take their orders and he started ribbing her about marrying him as he did every time he saw her.

  “I like my heart the way it is honey, all in one piece,” she told him dryly with a fond smile as she hurried off.

  “Okay baby girl what’s up with you?” he asked his sister as he turned to look at her.

  “I just did a shoot for a magazine coming out.” She told him feeling relaxed and content to just look at him. “And I have to shoot a commercial at Rowland’s Import and Export next Monday.”

  “Look at you turning into a celebrity!” he said with a proud smile. “Mama has been at me to come over for dinner on Saturday night so I figured we could make a date of it.”

  “What happened to Carissa?” she asked referring to the girl he had been seeing for the past two months.

  “That’s ancient history,” he said shrugging his shoulders.

  “You know Mama is going to ask you about her. She seemed nice.”

  “She wanted long term and I am not ready for that yet sis.” He told her moodily. They stopped talking as a waitress came over with their meal. Diana smiled to herself as the girl brushed up against him and he did not seem to notice.

  “I think dad leaving did a number on both of us,” she said quietly as she dug into her chicken salad.

  “Tyrone was not good enough for you,” Michael told her firmly referring to the man she had been seeing earlier this year and who had told her that her size was too much for him.

  “Definitely,” she said with a grin. “I want something more than just mediocre sex and a man who looks good on my arm.”

  “Talking about sex is not something your brother wants to hear,” Michael told her dryly, his dark brown eyes twinkling with laughter. “But I am in agreement.”

  “So how is the gym going?”

  “Full membership. Why don’t you come in and join? You are family so you get a discount.”

  “I thought I would get to come for free?” she said quizzically.

  “No one comes for free baby girl,” he told her with a laugh. “I will make sure you get a special discount.”

  *****

  Jeffry took his jacket off the coat hanger inside his office and put it on making sure it was buttoned before he stepped from the office. He had glanced into the mirror and saw that his jet black hair was combed back from his forehead. He was heading into a meeting with the head of finance and also the sales department and he always made sure he looked his best and portrayed a feeling of authority. He might be referred to as the ‘Playboy billionaire’ but when it comes to his business he did not mess around. He nodded to his secretary and then headed to the conference room. He had a game of tennis to play with several members of the club he was a part of and did not want to be late.

  They scrambled to their feet as soon as he entered the room. His father had gone to a meeting in midtown so he would not be a part of the meeting of which Jeffry did not mind in the least.

  “Please sit,” he took his position at the head of the table and looked at Lucas Marks the CFO. He listened to a long discussion on fiscal terms and profit and sales margins until he thought he was going to explode! “I don’t have time for this Lucas and I am sure neither does the rest of the people present here!” he said impatiently causing the man to stop abruptly. “We just want to know the bottom line. We have shipments coming in from Japan and Germany and we need to know how that is going to affect the profit margin. I take it that the campaign has already started for the new vehicles coming in?” he turned his head to look at Marissa Lee, a smart and savvy Asian American who was very good at her job.

  “Aggressively,” she told him as she got to her feet. She pointed a device at the monitor and the screen came up showing their logo and the different cars they showcased. She clicked the pointer and the different ads came on the screen. One showed a working and harried mother with two kids bundling them into a smart SUV with the doors opening to admit them. There was a split screen showing a smile on the woman’s face as she got into the vehicle and drove off in satisfaction. There was another showing a well known actor entering a sports car and zipping away along the freeway with one hand outside the window. “We are doing the one with Diana Walker on Monday.”

  “Good job.” He said in approval and causing the woman to preen a little bit. She and several others never gave up hope that he would take notice of them one day but he never slept with people employed by him, it caused too many complications.

  Lucas hurriedly gave him a brief report and then the meeting ended.

  He went back into his office to see that the chef had sent up lunch for him. He ate while he looked at his emails and then fired off several instructions to his secretary before making a call.

  “Darling I thought I would have seen you last night?” the voice was low and sultry and managed to make him hard. Emma McLean was his latest love interest and he had been seeing her since the past three weeks. She
was a lawyer whom he had met at a function and they had hit it off. He found that he liked her conversation and the way she looked and she did not press him to find out when they would be seeing each other.

  “Work,” he told her briefly not giving an explanation. “I might stop by tonight after the game at the club. You available?”

  “Of course, come on over.”

  “See you then.”

  He leaned back in his chair and considered. He was getting tired of the casual flings but settling down was something he shied away from. He had seen that marriage worked when he looked at some of the members of the club including Patrick Copeland and Brad Wellington but he figured they were the rare ones.

  With a sigh he shook his head and went back to work.

  Lila passed the cocktail to Diana while Dionne poured herself a martini. They had both stopped by her apartment after work to spend a few hours before going home. Lila was tall and willowy with short cropped hair and smooth caramel skin. She had been married briefly for two years and the marriage had ended badly. She worked as a clerk at a law firm. Dionne Warding was a tall and masculine looking woman with high afro and a very bad attitude that she carried wherever she went. She used men to her advantage and made no qualms about it. She had grown up in a group home and was still bitter about not knowing her parents. She worked as a bouncer at a club.

  “Okay we have seen the covers and you are all over the tube. So what’s next?” Dionne asked her hiking up her pants legs and dropping down onto the sofa.

  “Commercials mostly.” Diana said with a shrug as she sipped her drink.

  “I envy the excitement that you are involved in,” Lila said with a dramatic sigh. “In the meantime I have my eyes on one of the partners at the law firm and am doing everything in my power to get him to notice me.”

  “Haven’t you learned from your bad judgment?” Dionne demanded looking at the girl and shaking her head. “You should be staying away from men honey not gravitating towards them.”
