think nothing of it, but Milandra would be furious.
    â€œI agree,” she said. “But as soon as things calm down, we’ll find a way to share the news about the love we feel for each other. I love you, Baron, with all my heart.”
    He barely got the words out of his mouth. “I love you, too.”
    Noelle reached again and smothered his lips. He eased away from her.
    â€œI better go,” he said. “Go take that swim with your sisters. Be strong.”
    Tearfully, Noelle said, “I wish you didn’t have to leave.”
    â€œI’ll see you soon,” he said and hurried out.

Chapter 5
    B aron got into his car. As he loosened his tie, he could still smell the scent of Noelle’s perfume. He could not believe that she actually thought a cup of coffee and a peck on the lips would imply that they were a romantic couple. Right now, however, he couldn’t concentrate on her, but in due time he had to find a way to let her down gently because there was no future for them.
    His concern was whether or not Rupert Houston’s discovery about them had led to Rupert’s and his wife’s deaths. He felt deeply guilty for Alana’s death, but he felt only a slight bit of guilt for her husband.
    Rupert always wanted to be in control of everything, from his family down to his business. Everything was a possession to him. He did not want to share anything with anyone unless it was on his terms.
    Baron made his way down the road, thinking of Rupert’s illegitimate daughter. He had to call Aniyah and give her the sad news. He called his office and got the number from his secretary, then called her.
    â€œHello!” she answered in a high pitch.
    â€œThis is Mr. Chavis. I got your number from Mr. Houston’s files. Do you remember me? I’m the attorney for your father.”
    â€œHow can I forget a hottie lawyer like you? You’re the one that holds my future. You know I was added to Papa’s will.”
    â€œI have some disturbing news. Are you sitting down?”
    â€œI know he didn’t kick me to the curb?”
    â€œNo, it’s something more serious. Mr. Houston died not long ago; so did his wife.”
    Aniyah almost lost her balance. Dollar signs flashed across her eyes. She became a sobbing actress. “Papa is gone?” she bellowed.
    â€œYes.”
    â€œOh, I didn’t even get to spend that much time getting to know him. Oh, Papa,” she cried.
    â€œAre you okay?” he asked as he listened to how hysterical she was.
    â€œNo, I’m not okay! I have no one here! Please come over. I need to be with someone. I can’t take this,” she sobbed.
    He heard the phone drop onto the floor. He called, “Aniyah!”
    She didn’t answer. He heard her crying in the background. “I’m on my way over to you,” he said as he hung up the phone. He was quite aware of the location where Rupert had set up house for her. It was the same apartment he had used in the past for many of his female encounters.
    Baron made a sharp U-turn and headed to her aid.

    Aniyah clicked off the phone. She became hysterical with laughter. “Jackass, I knew you would fall for it.”
    She didn’t want anything going wrong. She wanted to make sure that what she estimated was due to her would be no problem getting to her, and Baron was the one to do it.
    Aniyah stepped out of the short, sleeveless dress that she wore. She found her way to her suitcase and pulled out a black bikini,slipping it on. Her breasts bulged from the top and her hips stretched the bottom to its limit. She went into the shower and soaked her bathing suit, not letting the water touch her long black hair. Her hard nipples were exposed through the top.
    In her galley kitchen, Aniyah took out an onion and held the onion up to her face until it brought tears to her eyes. She stuffed the onion back into the bottom of the
