<strong>Maria Xantelli</strong><br/><br/>"Yes, she is a dear child, like a flower," Maria said, "I'll see that Richard is settled, though I'm not looking forward to. Sometimes boys who have just come into the throes of adulthood need someone to guide them. Some loving discipline should get him back on his feet. I just ask that you please don't think ill of him. You will have your solitude and I assure you that you won't be disappointed in the services of our clinics. I will see that you are Enzo's first priority. You are most welcome dear."<br/><br/>Once in the car she didn't look toward her grandson and said not a word. The vehicle pulled away from the beach house in the direction of the brothel. Not a word would be spoken until they pulled into the gates of Maria's little estate. Richard would be left to simmer through the entire short trip.<br/><br/>Richard and Maria Xantelli to the Brothel-------------------------->
