PUNK ROX WARRIOR
Mimi sighed heavily. “They forged your signature on the rest of them, girly.” Looking at her mournfully, she continued. “I also found the original will. Your father left it all to you. He wrote it a week after your eighteenth birthday.”
Rainne was thoroughly puzzled now. “Why wouldn’t he leave my mom anything?”
“He did. He left her the five million she had agreed to in the prenuptial agreement she signed. Why he married that woman…” Her spoken thought trailed off. “But, at least he listened to me and safeguarded your future.” Rolling her eyes, she added, “A ...
Rainne paled. “I can’t believe this. And what does Phillip have to do with all this? Why involve him? Why would she mess with me like that?”
“Legally, your spouse would be entitled to your shares. He would no doubt want them in the divorce. He’d have a good case since he’s worked there for years.” Taking off her glasses, she pinched the bridge of her nose. “Why your father married that wom...
Rainne was stunned, frozen in place. “Wh-what?” She stuttered,
trying desperately to form thought into words. Did I hear that right? Mimi’s face swelled with first recognition and then agony. “Oh, my god, you didn’t know?” Her hand flattened against her chest. “I thought you knew.” She reached out to clasp Rainne...
Rainne’s thoughts escalated in her mind. Not my mother, she thought. She shook her head weakly as she processed the new information. “I can’t believe this,” she said in a barely audible tone. Her mind swam with memories and past opinions about her lif...
Mimi stammered, her face horrorstruck. “I’m so sorry, Rainne. I thought you knew. I can’t believe Jason never told you the truth.”
Rainne took a long, steadying breath “Carol’s not my mom,” she stated plainly. “Who is, Mimi?”
Mimi cleared her throat. “Your mother’s name was Lucy McConaughy. She and your father met in college. She was sweet and loving, kind, smart, and fun. Oh, she was fun to be around.” She looked at Rainne with longing in her eyes. “You remind me so much ...
Rainne tried in vain to blink back the tears welling up in her eyes. “What happened to her?”
The sadness returned to her eyes. “She died giving birth to you. Your father was inconsolable. He never spoke of her. On the few occasions she came up in conversation, the look in his eyes was heartbreaking.” Her face turned irate. “I’m sure Carol pla...
“Why would they do that? It seems too easy.”
“Well, they have to do that by law. I don’t believe they ever expected you to find out, and for almost ten years you didn’t. The papers state that you weren’t capable of running the company. If you ever found out, they could tell a judge that you aren...
Rainne’s heart sank at the thought of her father’s life’s work being destroyed by Carol and her minions. It sickened her to the core of her being. “So there’s nothing we can do?”
Mimi’s face perked up. “I did say I had good news.” She wagged her eyebrows. “We have more than enough proof of what Carol and her lawyers did. We have several witnesses to back up what Phillip did, and we have the tape from the warehouse. All that’s ...
“Go to work?” Rainne’s mind moved slowly. Almost as if she heard a click in her brain, it all became evident. “Go to work.” She said smoothly. “Is tomorrow too early?” she asked almost innocently.
After a few hours of planning, Mimi looked at her watch. “Goodness, is that the time? I have some more preparations to tend to. I’ll pick you up at 9:00 am tomorrow morning.” Mimi rose from her seat and headed toward the door, and James followed her.
Rounding the corner, away from Rainne’s earshot, James turned to her and asked, “Is this really going to work? I don’t want her to get hurt.”
Mimi smiled sweetly and patted his chest. “That’s why you and your boys are tagging along.” She could see the concern in his features. “You take care of that one.” She pointed her finger in the direction of the bedroom. “She’s special.”
“I’ll guard her with my life, Mimi.” James softly closed the door behind her. He paused thoughtfully. His heart was full of hope and worry that tomorrow everything went as planned, before returning to Rainne.
