here!”  Her eyes were wild
when she turned on Jamie.  “And you!  Why did you not stop him from changing
his will?  You knew he was not the same man since she left!  And when he found
out about… I will contest this testament!  I deserve those shares not her!  I
worked my ass off the past six years studying and working at the company so I
could get shares.  I will not allow her to get her dirty, cheap hands on them,
they are rightfully mine!”
    Samantha frowned.  Before she could
speak up Shona jumped up and pulled Elaine back to her chair.  “Stop this
selfish attitude of yours, Elaine!  Your father knew what is best for the
company and he would not leave it to someone incapable…”
    “Exactly!  How capable is she?  I am
the one that completed my studies; she didn’t even finish her degree!  The only
thing she is qualified in is seducing men and sleeping her way to the top!  I
knew Daddy would not stand for that then, so why did he all of a sudden change
his mind!  After she left he changed his testament!  All of it was mine! And it
still will be!” 
    Samantha sat quietly watching Elaine’s
face contracted with anger and the hardness in her eyes turned her into someone
totally foreign and ugly.  She noticed her mother’s concerned frown as she
tried to calm Elaine down. She watched Nicolas’s expression turn to disgust
when Elaine mentioned her seducing older men, her heart contracted and she wanted
to jump up and run away.
    What was the point?  He was the one
person she wanted to see her for what she really was, what she became. Not be
reminded of her one single disastrous mistake she made in her life.  He clearly
still thought of her as a cheap tart and the sharp pain in her chest was
testimony to her feelings for him that the years of abstinence clearly haven’t
diminished.
    She took a deep breath and slowly got
up from the chair, drawing all eyes to her. She frowned and some of the things
Elaine said in her tirade triggered questions in her mind. She said she knew
their father wouldn’t stand for her actions then, as if she knew what was going
to happen? And when he found out about what?  She stared into her sister’s pale
blue eyes, still glittering with anger.
    A slow smile formed around her lips,
her eyebrows raised and her voice was clear in the silent room.  “Uncle Jamie
said I was out of the country and don’t know what changed here … he was right …
but similarly none of you know anything about me.”  Elaine frowned and tried to
interrupt, but Samantha stilled her with a swipe of her hand.
    “I may not have finished my degree
here, but I did at Harvard, with Uncle Jamie’s help.  I also went further and
obtained my Honors and MBA degrees and my Doctor’s thesis eleven months’ ago in
Business Management and Strategy.  In fact, I was the first person for the past
twelve years, to complete all of this within less than five years. My results
were of such that I was placed on the Dean’s list.”  She watched Elaine
struggle to take all of this in, then continued.
    “I have been working as an equal
partner in a Consulting Business in New York dealing only with Blue Chip
companies, specializing in Business Development and Strategies, Process
development, mergers and Market Shares.”  She walked up to Elaine until they
stood toe to toe.
    “So you see little sister…”
    “Stop calling me little sister!  I am
only a year younger than you!”
    “Perhaps if you acted as such you
might be treated as such … as I was saying … I am more than capable of running
the business … and maybe it is time that the truth came out …”
    Because Samantha was watching for it
and stood so close to her, she was the only one that noticed Elaine’s start and
the panic that flickered in her eyes.  It only cemented the realization that
somehow Elaine played a role in what happened six years ago and that at long
last she might just be able to clear her name and put things
