Colin was speaking with a lawyer and Gloria was taking notes as Councilor Daville cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Everything is now in order. I remind you that you have both entered into a binding legal agreement. I call this hearing to a close. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. MacGregor."<br/><br/>With that the hologram closed as the call disconnected. Lawyers from both sides huddled together doing whatever it was they did after these proceedings. Colin stood and straightened his suit and tie. Walking down the long conference table he came to Howard Violette and shook his hand. "You have a lovely and unique daughter. I promise we will take good care of her and welcome to the family."<br/><br/>This of course was a joining of two families but Colin made a point clarify they were joining his family. The smile on Mr. Violette's face showed that he didn't miss the subtle jab. This was a big move for his family but it also meant that this "Partnership" with the MacGregor family wouldn't be an equal one. Colin took Margarette's hand and kissed it softly exchanging pleasantries. By this time Gloria was at his side and he turned his attention to Eveline. Up close she was even more beautiful and the sparks of lust flicked in his eyes. This woman excited him on so many different levels besides the obvious physical attraction.<br/><br/>"We will have more time to talk soon dear. I unfortunately have another appointment. Gloria will work out all the details from here." Leaning in he kissed her cheek softly letting his lips linger on her skin and he whispered softly to her before pulling back, "I'm looking forward to seeing you again very soon."<br/><br/>With that Colin turned and left the conference room. Gloria smiled warmly and turned to Eveline. "Welcome to the MacGregor family. As is customary you have one week to get your affairs in order at home before you move. You will have a message from me by the time you get home. It will include bank information, name change documentation and other legal forms. This will get you setup with with everything you will need and get you added to all the necessary legal forms for the MacGregor family. You will receive a holo-room so you can see the room space you will have at Mr. MacGregor's house. You may furnish it however you wish. Once you decide what you want send it back to me and I will make the necessary arrangements. Lastly, a car service will pick you up a week from today to take you to the airport where you will meet the MacGregor's for your honeymoon. If you have any questions once you get all your information or about anything else please ask me. I will be in touch soon and again, welcome to the MacGregor family." With that Gloria smiled and turned to leave the conference room with MacGregor's lawyers in tow.<br/><br/>_________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Colin checked the time and decided he would take a longer lunch than normal. He was having lunch with his wife so they could discuss the changes that were coming to their family. Entering his office he made sure he had everything he needed. Gloria was very good at what she did because there on his desk was the gift he had asked her to get him for Ara. Picking up the box he opened it and he smiled, she would love it. After the Great War things like diamonds and other jewels had become even more rare. Only the very wealthy could afford even basic stones. It's also why the MacGregor women were adorned with them at every event. Just another reminder to those in their social circle at just how powerful and wealthy the MacGregor family was. Colin hoped this made Ara feel special. Just because a new wife was added today it didn't mean Colin felt any different about Ara. She was the mother of his first born child after all. She had made a wonderful home for him and he loved her very much. He looked at the necklace (http://www.grandjewelsofwailea.com/Diamond-Jewelry/Necklaces/images/190.jpg) one last time before closing the box and heading to the executive elevator that would take him to his car. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face when he got home.<br/><br/><br/>Stepping out of the elevator his car was waiting for him. The driver opened the door and he stepped in settling into the seat. As the car pulled away he sent off a message to his wife.<em>On my way home. The meeting went well. I can fill you in when I get there.</em><br/><br/><br/>As the car made it's way towards the towering building that was his home his mind drifted to Eve. He could still picture her face. The way her eyes sparkled and at the same time had a fire behind them that threatened to consume him if he got caught up in them. The curve of her lips as they talked back and forth like no one else was there. She had sparred with him perfectly, an almost equal which was hard to find to be sure. Her lovely figure had not escaped his eye either. She was the picture of what genetic engineering could do. Everything about her was appealing to the eye. As he thought further he felt that longing in his body, he couldn't wait to see her again.<br/><br/><br/>His mind was pulled from his thoughts as the car came to a stop and they were already at their destination. Pulling his thoughts together he made sure he had everything, including his gift. He needed to focus himself, he needed to focus on Ara right now. Making his way to the penthouse elevator, it climbed rapidly to the highest point and stepping out into his home brought a smile to his face. It was good to be home.
