Her thick, long locks were a dark red, with soft burnished gold highlights. They framed her rectangular shaped face, thin nose and bold chin. Her eyes were light green, and her lips long, with a full lower one that was always bitten when she was nervous. She was long-limbed, full-breasted and had the build of a ballet dancer. Her nails are always perfectly manicured, pink petals with white tips at the end of long fingers that played the piano exquisitely. She was always presentable, always dressed perfectly and in the latest fashions. <br><br>Personality: Ara is the first daughter of a Senator. One of the most powerful Senator’s in the land, to be exact. She has been groomed since birth for a powerful marriage. She’d been the perfect student, perfect daughter and now the perfect wife since the day she realized her place in life. <br><br>Ara was happy and smart. She kept top scores in all of her schooling, monitored and maintained her household to attend to everyone’s needs and wants before they ever had to ask, knew how to throw the best celebrations, always knew the perfect flowers to send, the perfect letter to write. Everything she did was to the highest standards. <br><br>But she was also vanilla. She had everything she could ever want, was always smiling and laughing, but also never thought to step outside the box. Never imagined what it would feel like to be anything or anyone but the daughter of a Senator and the wife to one of the most powerful men in the world. <br><br>Family: To Be Determined/Added Later<br>

				Colin stepped out of the shower and reached for the warm towel off the rack. He smiled as the heated cotton ran over his skin and through his damp hair. [/font]<span style="font-family: Verdana;" class="bbc_font">The man that invented the towel warmer and heated floors for a bathroom was a genius.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;" class="bbc_font"> As he continued to dry off his toes wiggled against the toasty tile at his feet upon stepping from the small rug. He always enjoyed these small pleasures before his hectic day began. The home his wife had created was just that. It was the shelter from the whirlwind of high expectations and stress from work and, at times very public, social life. The home was very modern with clean lines and textures. Yet she had done a great job of making it also feel like a home and not a showroom. Small splashes of color and contrasts of bright stone and marble against dark rich wood. It was the picture of sophistication and class. It also had all the modern conveniences that he was enjoying at the moment. With the towel now firmly wrapped around his hips he ran a hand through his thick, wavy, chocolate brown hair. He had a lot to do and had a big decision to make today. Almost on cue a notification went off. Technology had come a long way at this point but the ability to view incoming messages on a bathroom mirror interrupted his time of relaxation. Wiping some condensation from the mirror Colin reluctantly acknowledged the interruption. "Show Message".<br><br>A conversation bubble appeared on the mirrored glass and Colin sighed heavily. It was from his father Nigel MacGreggor. "Meeting moved up to 10am. Have your decision ready by then." Having your father approve your decision "to make sure it is what is best for the family" seemed to take some of the romance out of the whole process. Although there was little romance left in the process anymore. To Colin he didn't mind though, it made weeding out the inferior options a much easier process. Having his father being so hands on however was a bit ridiculous. If he was going to be the next CEO one would think there would be some trust garnered at this point. That wasn't his father though, he had controlled everything after he took over for the founder of the company, Colin's grandfather. "Close message."<br><br>There wasn't a point in replying, he was going to have the meeting. That hadn't been a question asking to reschedule it was more like an order to comply with the change in time. Colin shook the annoyance from his mind and finished getting ready. When he stepped from the bedroom he was the picture of a highly successful business man. His suit (http://www.dhresource.com/albu_140190680_00-1.0x0/men-s-business-suit-suits-western-style-clothing.jpg) was tailored to fit his body perfectly. His shirt pressed and hugged his frame just enough to be comfortable and also show off his strong figure. His suit was a dark charcoal black with a white dress shirt and dark grey tie. It was simple but elegant and since he wasn't trying to impress anyone today or have some function to attend it was fitting for his normal day of meetings. Walking into the wide open luxury penthouse he smiled. Colin Jr. was crawling across the floor to his favorite spot, the floor to ceiling windows. He had tested high at birth in observation and cognitive response. He was going to be a genius like his father. Colin Jr. began to smack the thick windows as some birds flew by the building. Arabella quickly glided over to the small child scooping him up quickly. The two laughed as she told him in a soothing soft voice, "You are supposed to be in your high chair getting ready for breakfast mister." One of the pitfalls of genetic testing and higher intelligence is his son was an escape artist before he was even a year old. Colin chuckled and made his way over to the two of them. "You have your hands full it seems dear." Softly kissing her cheek as his hand slid around her hip and over her cloth covered backside. He thought to himself how great of a choice he had made 2 years ago when Arabella entered his life. Hopefully his choice today would be just as successful.<br><br>He walked with her into the the dining space, with their nanny in toe carrying the babies food, as she wrangled the baby into his seat once more. Colin Jr. squealed and slammed his hands down on the plastic tray. "I wonder where he gets that from?" Colin just winked at Ara and grabbed his travel mug filled with his favortie coffee that she had already prepared for him. They had maids, a nanny, servants and a professional chef but everyday after they got married she insisted on doing this for him. Even though it wasn't necessary for her to do it Colin liked that she wanted to do something just for him. So many relationships like theirs were that of function but Colin had lucked out. In the two short years they had actually fallen in love with each other and they truly were a happy couple. "Today is the day. I have my meeting with my father at 10am. I'll have my decision by then. If I have time I will let you know what I decide and send you the info, otherwise it will be after the meeting. Have a great day...and he is loose again." Colin smirked and wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in for a very firm yet tender kiss. His lips meshing with hers holding her body to his momentarily before releasing her. "Maybe I will come home for lunch today...." He winked at her as the nanny was bringing a squealing happy baby back into the room. He made his way to the door sipping his beverage with a salacious smile. He hadn't given Arabella much time to respond nor was he really looking for one. She knew the expectations from him and she would be okay with what he decided. Plus helping the nanny keep Colin Jr. in place long enough to eat would be enough to worry about.<br><br>Colin headed towards the waiting vehicle that would take him to MacGregor Pharmaceutical, Research, and Genetic Engineering. They were the leader in genetic testing, screening and engineering. Only the very best had a chance at even walking through the doors to be considered for employment. It was the leader in medical technology in what was left of the known world and soon it would be Colin's turn to take them into the future, if his father ever decided it was time to finally let go of the reigns. Colin pulled up his handheld and scanned the two profiles. He had looked over the two candidates closely for the last week and he was pretty sure he knew which one he wanted to pick but of course they had to be from a family that would help strengthen his family name and the business. He just needed to decide and he wasn't going to wait on his father's approval. Tapping the phone the dial tone filled the small confined space. "Call Gloria." The phone chirped to life and and rang only once before a young voice came across the speaker. "Yes, Mr. MacGregor." "Gloria I told you to call me Colin, you are my personal assistant. Mr. MacGregor is my father." A small grin broke over his lips knowing Gloria was probably blushing slightly. She was not from an upper class family but was what they considered unique. Her genetic testing scored higher than anyone else in her social class and was almost an equal to those above her in status. She had found her way into being Colin's personal assistant and he enjoyed flirting with her from time to time. "Now I need you to call the Violette's and setup a meeting for this afternoon with Eveline?" Colin knew Gloria would understand the importance of that meeting and keep it quiet. "Oh! Well of course Sir," Gloria exclaimed somewhat energetically. "Thanks doll and I will be in shortly and we can go over my schedule then." There was a slight rustling as Gloria was pulling things together. "Yes sir, I will have everything ready." Colin turned off his handheld and tucked it into his left breast pocket of his suit coat.<br><br>Hopefully Eveline performed well for her interview. If everything went well she would become his next wife.</span>

				Anger was evident in the slight pout of Eveline’s lower lip as she sat straight backed in the cushy leather chair at the head of the table in the largest conference room she had ever seen.&nbsp; This was an interview, no doubt, and her seat at the head of the table placed her in that awkward spot where everyone in the room could easily stare right at her.&nbsp; And normally, Eveline would have basked in delight at the notion of capturing the eyes of some of the most powerful people in the world. <br><br>Colin MacGregor was the man in Lerinae, the largest city in the new commonwealth that had arisen from the ashes of the Great War nearly 200 years ago.&nbsp; &nbsp;Any women chosen to be his wife would be honored at being wed to the very man who controlled the entire foundation of their society.&nbsp; But Eveline wanted the honor of being the <em>first</em> wife of a powerful man, not the second.&nbsp; Her father, Howard Violette was Minister of finance for the Commonwealth and controlled the flow of money up and down the string of cities that formed their nation.&nbsp; With the exception of MacGregor, her father might easily claim to be the most powerful man in the nation.&nbsp; And as his second daughter, Eveline had expected to be bound to a prominent man of power as well.&nbsp; Colin certainly fit that profile…. but he already had his first wife and child.&nbsp; She would always be second.&nbsp; Always be in the shadow, a life suitable for many women but not for her. <br><br>She glanced out the window and sighed.&nbsp; The view of Lerinae was spectacular from this height, the sun glinting off the skyscrapers that had arisen in the newly founded city over the years, humanity’s way of reestablishing their place in the world they had once nearly destroyed.&nbsp; The residences of the upper class, their places of work and leisure, parks and schools all formed the inner part of the deluxe city.&nbsp; Beyond the wall, the lower castes lived and worked, with large check gates for those lower castes entering the inner city to work, jobs that the upper class bestowed on those of mixed genetics.&nbsp; The servants that worked in her household were allowed to live with them, raising both her family’s status as well as those of their lower caste servants.&nbsp; &nbsp;In this new world, genetics determined castes.&nbsp; Genetics meant everything.&nbsp; For a lower caste, the opportunity to enhance the genetics of their children by staying in the upper class world was a benefit most appreciated.&nbsp; <br><br>Eveline’s genetics were nearly perfect, one of the reasons she had been selected as a candidate for Colin Macgregor.&nbsp; But the snub of being a ‘breeder wife’ for the rest of her life was not worth his hand in marriage.&nbsp; Not to her.&nbsp; Not when she’d had aspirations of dominating her household, controlling her future, producing the son who would take over whatever company or business her husband ran.&nbsp; Now that would never happen.&nbsp; Now she would just have children for Macgregor to increase his status, his genetic pool, his world.&nbsp; Now she would just be some other woman’s servant. <br><br>She had to fail this interview. <br><br>She turned as her father and mother entered the room.&nbsp; Howard and Margerette together were a commanding presence, a powerful aura that could make heads turn and room silent.&nbsp; As their second daughter, Eveline had inherited their grace, their beauty, their intelligence and their poise.&nbsp; She was all that they would have wanted in a daughter, even more so in her opinion than her elder sister Amanda.&nbsp; Yet, Amanda had been wed to the son of Ronald Jones, who controlled the energy sector of their nation.&nbsp; Not just wed, but wed as the first wife, as the woman of position and power.&nbsp; Jealousy stabbed at Eveline’s chest and she pushed back the bile in her throat.&nbsp; Life was unfair.&nbsp; That should have been her. <br><br>“I hope you’re ready, Eveline,” Howard spoke as he took a seat down the table, his wife settling next to him. “You can imagine how important this is to me and your mother.&nbsp; When we received word Colin was interested in you… well this cements the connections our family has been working-”<br><br>“Father, spare me,” Eveline replied, her eyes shifting back to the window. “You have as much power as he does.&nbsp; You don’t need this connection.&nbsp; You want it, because you want the name for your grandchildren.&nbsp; I’m the second wife.” She practically hissed, obvious distaste laced in her words.<br><br>“Young Lady, I did not raise you to speak to your betters that way,” her mother slapped, the woman’s tongue harder than any hand to the face could be.&nbsp; Eveline cringed but kept her mouth shut.&nbsp; Her parents would make her pay if she failed this interview….&nbsp; <br><br>And the consequences could be far worse than second wife.&nbsp;

				The conference room at MacGregor Towers was nothing to sneeze at. In fact, one wouldn’t dare sneeze inside for fear of decorating the plate glass that covered almost every available surface. In the rectangular space, two of the cathedral-high walls were pure windows, overlooking the great city of Lerinae, while the other shorter wall was pure see-through glass, showing the lobby of the large, white office. The fourth long wall was glass-covered white walls, giving the illusion that the space was larger, longer. It was immaculately lit, not to harsh, not too soft. And hidden plugs for every sort of display device decorate the walls, white-tiled floor, and long, white table that was lined with clear, ergonomic chairs. Only soft touches of blues and green in the plant life that decorate about three spots of the room were the colors that were allowed to exist in this white space. <br><br>While Eveline and her parents already seated at one end of the massive table, Gloria was walking quickly through the lobby towards the large double doors again, with what looked to be like four legal representatives in tow. Three males, dressed impeccably in suits, and a female, dressed in a pants suit and carrying a brief case. Gloria sat two of them at the opposite end of the massive table, and the other two with Eveline’s family. <br><br>With a brief flash of a smile, she made her way to the wall and set her hand against an invisible display panel. The panel lit blue, scanned her prints, and beeped. A moment later, a small waist-high section of the wall flipped open to reveal a keyboard and small screen. Typing in a code, Gloria activated the holo-screen, that projected the image of a man dressed in a dark green robe, similar to that of a judge. He was standing at a desk that faded off from view. <br><br>This man was shuffling through papers and jotting down various notes when Gloria cleared her throat to gain his attention. His presences as a member of the genetics council was mostly a formality at this point. But a needed formality. She returned his smile and short bow before speaking. “Councilor Daville, how good to see you again. We are just about ready to get started in here. Is there anything else you require?” <br><br>The man in the hologram shook his head. “No, thank you, ma’am. We have all the necessary paperwork already.” <br><br>With a polite grin and nod to the hologram, Gloria made her way towards the exit one last time. “I’ll inform Mr. MacGregor that we are all set. Please let me know if there is anything else you require,” she said, addressing those in the room at large before turning on her heel and moving through the double doors once more. <br>

				<br>Colin was aware of the time and was looking over the young woman's file one last time before the interview process began. In some ways this was really a formality. The McGregor's always got what they wanted. If Colin had chosen someone there would be nothing to stop him from getting it. No woman would rightfully refuse. To refuse the McGregor's usually meant your family quickly fell out of favor and became a social pariah within no time at all. Even powerful families had tried to stand toe to toe with Colin's father. Their families, within a couple generations were scrapping the bottom of the barrel genetically and were no longer considered part of those who were "pure". So Colin understood that this was only necessary to make the legal system happy. Still he never went into any situation not knowing everything. He was always the smartest man in the room, no matter which room he walked into.<br><br><br>Colin's holophone chimed and Gloria's face appeared. "They are ready for you sir." Colin nodded his acknowledgement. <br><br><br>"Thank you. Make sure you have everything ready for me." He smiled warmly at her knowing that she had never once disappointed in her preparedness. He switched off the phone and stood up. Walking to a full length mirror in his office he smoothed out any wrinkles and pulled on his suit coat. Satisfied that everything was in place he spun on the balls of his feet and made his way to his office door. Gloria was there waiting with a smile.<br><br>"Are you nervous?" He jokingly asked her as they began to walk down the hall. <br><br>She chuckled and fired right back, "No. Just curious to find out who else will be calling me to find out where you are. Are you nervous? You are the one about to have another woman in your life to contend with." <br><br>Colin laughed, this was what made him choose Gloria. She could be very professional and was a great worker but she wasn't afraid to give him a taste of his own medicine in the proper time and place. <br>"Oh Gloria, you are the only woman I need in my life." <br><br>She of course knew he was kidding but that didn't stop the pink from appearing on her cheeks. Luckily they had a few more steps before getting to the conference room so she could compose herself. Upon entering Gloria stayed right in step with Colin, even if she had to take a few more to keep up with is long stride. Colin quickly made note of all the parties there including the judge. Since this was a formal event he nodded to those in attendance but kept things professional. He would shake hands with the family once all the business was finalized.<br><br><br>Everyone took their respected places around the table. Colin had always wondered what it was like for the other side. You had this one chance to make a good impression and seal the fate of your family for good or bad. You got to do all of this in front of other people watching on. Colin was well versed in literature, or at least what had survived, and sometimes wondered what it was like back before. When people would just meet. The male usually sought out the desired female and they would take the time to talk and get to know each other. If things were favorable they would choose to make a public showing of committing to each other and each other only. It was all...whimsical and such a fantasy idea compared to today. Now couples were created and brought together because of genetics. This made so much more sense to him. Not that Colin was without passions and emotions but why leave things up to chance.<br><br><br>Colin's thoughts quickly came back to him as the judge spoke. "Now that everyone is present I open this Union Contract Proceeding of Colin Braden McGregor and Eveline Ann Violette. I remind everyone present that the words spoken here are legal and binding and are being recorded for the official record. You must yield to the Arbitrator in all matters. Mr. McGregor the floor is yours to start the proceeding."<br><br><br>Colin looked across the table at the lovely woman before him. Her picture didn't really do her justice. Her features were soft and delicate and yet he could already see a fire burning behind her eyes. There was more to this blonde beauty sitting before him. At least he hoped that was the case. He didn't need a blonde admirer. Like his current wife he needed someone with some spirit and a good head on her shoulders. All the genetic testing and manipulation still could not weed out poor social skills and a bad personality. Colin had put some thought into what his first question would be. He needed to see if she could think on her feet or would just spout off generic answers or tell him what he wanted to hear. Granted with her family here he doubted she would feel free to speak her mind but he hoped she would. He had to know if this was going to be the right fit or not and this was his only chance to find out. Colin made sure his eyes were locked on hers and that she knew his attention was nowhere else before he spoke. He had decided to go with something simple and open ended to see where she would go with it. <br><br>"Ms. Violette, how about I call you Eveline so I don't sound like one of these lawyers addressing you." A soft smirk cracked his lips. He knew how much his father hated when he didn't stick to formal protocol, the jab at the lawyers was just an added bonus for his benefit. He knew his father would be watching these proceedings as he did everything of importance that happened at his company...and elsewhere for that matter. "Eveline, in your words why did you choose to come here today? Please feel free to speak freely." He swore he saw her father flinch if ever so slightly at the last part. He hoped she took him up on his offer. Colin's eyes never wavered as he watched the young woman begin to formulate her response behind her stunning blue eyes.

				The door opened and Eveline’s eyes shifted to watch the parade of people waltz into the room, the air of business as usual pervading the space in a suffocating manner.&nbsp; But while they might make these decisions lightly, attend these meetings regularly, and follow protocol because the rules were the rules, this gathering of important people would decide the fate of Eveline’s life.&nbsp; If Colin wanted her, he would have her.&nbsp; She had no say.&nbsp; The best she could hope for was the genetics committee would find some reason to keep them apart, but if she’d made it this far, she could only assume that all the tests and match data had come back positive. <br><br>She remained a statue while the woman traipsed around to set up the monitors and prepare the room.&nbsp; No expression crossed her face, the blank stare leaving her parents to question just how she would react when Colin made his appearance.&nbsp; Her parents stood as the lawyers entered, handshakes and introductions commencing, but Eveline kept her seat like the piece of property she was – just a young woman being sold through a business transaction from one man to another.<br><br>She didn’t object to the way of life. Philosophically connecting people through perfect matches to enhance humanity and attempt to rebuild the numbers lost in the Great War was logical and admirable.&nbsp; And Colin MacGregor was the perfect man for a woman of her status in every way except for one.&nbsp; Eveline could not deny that a woman of her breeding would provide him the most perfect children, beautiful on the outside, intelligent, poised, ambitious on the inside. <br><br>Lost in thought, she didn’t notice Colin enter until he was speaking, his voice strong and powerful.&nbsp; Eveline’s eyes widened slightly in surprise before she recovered as his handsome features registered in her mind.&nbsp; She’d always known he was good looking, from the ads for his company to the television broadcasts where he’d spoken on the advances made by his scientists, but in person he was more than just a good looking face.&nbsp; &nbsp;There was an overwhelming aura to his presence, a power that crushed the room with its magnitude.&nbsp; Looking away was impossible.&nbsp; Her gaze was anchored to his, her vivid azure irises meeting his light blue gray with an intensity that challenged her potential mate to ask all the wrong questions. <br><br>“Colin,” she replied, taking cue from his informal use of her name to match with his own, “I don’t believe there was an option on the invitation as to whether I could or could not attend.&nbsp; Thus, I did not choose to be here at all.”&nbsp; Eveline’s lips curved into the slightest smirk and from the corner of her eye she could see anger lace lines on her father’s forehead while her mother clearly fought to bite her tongue.&nbsp; But both held back their words.&nbsp; They would buy her no favors by stepping in when the question was clearly meant only for Eveline.&nbsp;

				<br>Colin watched the lovely woman not hold back and share her feelings to his delight. Watching her parent's cringe every so slightly was a wonderful sight. Seeing a couple of the lawyers begin to murmur and look uncomfortable made the moment all the sweeter. Colin believed pushing people out of their comfort zone just a little showed you who they really were. Eveline was clearly someone who had an opinion and didn't mind sharing it. This was what he had hoped was the case. Her file and references hinted at someone who didn't always conform. What had made his father so successful was having people around him that challenged and pushed him. This is what Colin was looking for. Genetic testing provided beauty and other qualities. All the women he could choose from were beautiful. They all came from good genetics. It was this fire that he was looking for. That one comment cemented all he needed to know but for the sake of formality he would continue since this was a legal proceeding and he had to show due diligence and he had to sign off on the genetics match. He didn't really care about the findings. The would be well within the acceptable limits or she wouldn't have even been a candidate. So instead he wanted to see more of this fire and energy. His father would probably not approve of his next line of questioning.<br><br><br>"I appreciate your honesty Eveline. So tell me, if you were brought here against your will. Why are you still here? You are always free to go."<br><br><br>Colin worked to hold back the smirk. To stand up and leave during this kind of proceeding, to walk away from any union was looked down upon. To walk away from a MacGregor union would spell doom for any family. Colin knew she wasn't that naive. She knew why she was here and that she really didn't have a choice if her father wanted to keep his job and standing. However, he wanted to see if she could temper her fire. Being one of his spouses meant you had your opinions but you also knew status and society expectations.<br><br><br>Colin's eyes were fixated on her. Only one other woman had captured his attention like this. He had married her also. His current wife was different than her to be sure but they both held this quality. He watched her face with the same intent as his last question. He didn't hold back the excitement in his eyes. If she looked she would see he had no desire to have her leave because right then nobody else in the room mattered.

				Her eyebrow raised…. every so slightly.&nbsp; Just a quirk.&nbsp; But she’d already seen it in his eyes, the glint of approval, the appreciation of her answer, the craving for her wit.&nbsp; With one sentence, Eveline Ann Violette had passed her interview and the rest would be only a formality.&nbsp; Her lip curled ever so slightly, her eyes flashing mischieviously, his amusement mirrored in the dark flecks that danced in her irises.&nbsp; She would be Colin MacGregor’s wife, because she would have no choice and because in that one moment Eveline knew there would never be another who would stoke her inner fire the same way.&nbsp; She could feel it in the pit of her stomach and the air between them crackled with an electricity that many dreamed of and few ever found.&nbsp; <br><br>“I never indicated I was brought here against my will or that I did not wish to be here, Colin.&nbsp; Only that I was given no choice in the matter.&nbsp; You presume to assume my choice would have been to leave.”&nbsp; Even as she answered, she knew he could read the very hint of humor in her eyes, the decision to turn this interview into a game only the two of them could play.&nbsp; <br><br>“I am no fool, Colin MacGregor,” she reminded him, letting her tone softening ever slightly, as though she were acknowledging his superior position in the matters.&nbsp; “I will walk out of this room your wife or not based upon your decision, not mine, as our society has done for generations upon generations.&nbsp; Unless you wish to change things?”&nbsp; <br><br>The lawyer down the table gasped at the audacity, but Eveline ignored him, her eyes only for Colin.&nbsp; If her parents were fuming, she no longer noticed.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				<br>This time even Colin's professional demeanor cracked if just for a moment as the corner of his mouth curled ever so slightly. This was exactly what he was looking for. The reaction of everyone else in the room would have added to the moment if Colin was even paying attention. This woman captured his mind and attention completely. He could end the interview here but he had no intention of doing that. He figured why not have some more fun.<br><br><br>"It's good that you understand this. Are you saying however, that there is a flaw in this process and things should be changed? Are you saying you have an opinion on whether this union should happen or not?"<br><br><br>This of course was a loaded question. To question the process and law was grounds for criminal prosecution. The sound of lawyers shifting uncomfortably was audible from both parties. MacGregor's lawyers were used to Colin pushing the limits but even he was treading on thin ice. The tension in the room was palpable. Even Gloria seemed a bit uneasy. Colin's eyes never left Eveline's as everyone waited for what happened next.

				The gasps around the room lent validity to the magnitude of the question Colin asked.&nbsp; Eveline was no fool.&nbsp; And Colin didn’t believe her to be one, or he would have never posed the question in the first place.&nbsp; She could read the challenge in his eyes, forcing her to step up her game, to answer what should be an impossible question and still maintain the independent air that she had projected the entire course of the meeting.<br><br>Yet it was not.&nbsp; <br><br>“Of course I have an opinion, Colin MacGregor.&nbsp; There is no law that forbids me from having my own belief in whether or not you would be the right match for me,” Eveline begin, purposely wording her statement to favor her over him.&nbsp; “And perhaps one day I shall share that opinion with you, in the private confines of the home we will share.<br><br>“The system isn’t designed to determine if we are good personality match, however, but a genetic one.&nbsp; The system cares about our offspring more than us.&nbsp; And given the state of our world, of what we are recovering from, we would be remiss in our duties as citizens of the commonwealth to do otherwise.&nbsp; At least today. Perhaps our tomorrow, when our genetics have reached perfection, will have no need for such a system.&nbsp; But I would not change it today.”<br><br>She heard her father let out a long breath, as though imminent disaster had been avoided.&nbsp; Around the room, worried eyes seemed to calm and the lawyer suddenly shovered the paperwork at Colin. <br><br>“Sir, I have everything prepared if you are ready.” <br>

				<br>Colin smiled as the woman spoke so perfectly. Her words careful but precise in their meaning without losing any of her tone. She did not back down from him and this finally cracked an actual smile on his face. There was fire in her eyes even as she stayed composed in her speech. She was exactly what he had hoped she would be. Even as the rest of the room seemed to sigh all at once with relief, relief was not what Colin felt. His heart was pounding in his chest as adrenaline burned through his veins. It had been awhile since he felt this rush with someone. He wanted more time with her to continue their verbal sparring but that would come later. Her initial response was accurate, she would be leaving this meeting his wife.<br><br><br>As a lawyer slid the tablet in front of him hoping he got the hint to not press his luck. For the first time since he sat down his eyes broke their gaze from Eveline as he looked at the lawyer. His smile quickly faded and his eyes burned at the man who was only trying to keep Colin out of legal hot water. Quickly scrolling through the paperwork on the genetic match statistics, the usual contract he had seen once before with his first wife. The attached addendum's about the second wife agreements and legal rights. Looking to the man on the holographic screen, who was looking rather annoyed at this point, Colin made his official statement for the record.<br><br><br>"Everything appears in order. I have no objections."<br><br><br>He pressed his thumb against the sensor pad on the tablet. The finger print scan wasn't the annoying part of these digital signatures, it was the minor pin prick at the end. A DNA scan was confirmed and tied to the fingerprint. It took a matching set to confirm identity and make the signature legal. Handing the tablet to the lawyer who quickly wiped the sensor clean and walked towards the other end of the table. Gloria leaned in and handed him a small damp cloth. He wiped his finger and wiped away any stray blood and the chemical on the cloth immediately healed the skin. Tossing the cloth in the trash he turned his attention to Gloria.<br><br><br>"That was fun." A smile crossing his lips.<br><br><br>Whispering back Gloria did her best to stay professional in tone, "If you say so. Thanks for not getting in trouble. I kind of like my job and don't feel like looking for a new one." Gloria sat back as Colin smirked at her comment and straightened in his chair.<br><br><br>Turning his attention back to Eveline. If she was going to refuse this was her last chance to do so. All attention was on her and Colin was pretty sure her father had stopped breathing again. Colin knew she wouldn't refuse. She would sign, everyone would be dismissed, Colin would shake all the necessary hands and then of course he needed to inform his wife of the new person who would now be living with them.

				Eveline waited as the electronic paperwork was completed.&nbsp; The tension around the room had not diminished and part of her reveled in the way her parents still sat uncomfortably, as though at any moment Colin would rise and laugh and tell them their daughter was completely unfit to be his wife with her sassy attitude and forward thinking.&nbsp; But Eveline hadn’t been fooled.&nbsp; She could read the desire in Colin’s eyes for her to win his game, to slip just under the radar of what was considered acceptable.&nbsp; For the rest of the world, he wanted them at his feet, walking on eggshells, deferring to his dominance.&nbsp; But he clearly desired a wife who spoke her mind, who challenged him, who perhaps enhanced him rather than dragged him down. <br><br>If only that second wife status did not exist….<br><br>Colin signed the pad, pressing his thumb against the screen.&nbsp; She could see the smirk in his eyes as the people around him shifted to watch.&nbsp; They all wanted this meeting to end, and Eveline could imagine they were used to far different proceedings.&nbsp; The man would ask about hobbies and interests.&nbsp; Obedience and upbringing.&nbsp; Skills and education.&nbsp; Basics to solidify the results of the genetics. <br><br>This had been different.&nbsp; Interesting.&nbsp; Fun.&nbsp; For her at any rate.&nbsp; <br><br>As the tablet was passed to hers, Eveline let her eyes finally drop from her future husband’s face.&nbsp; She slid her thumb onto the pad, waiting for the scan, for the prick, for the confirmation that she was the person who would be entering the arrangement.&nbsp; The pad beeped in approval.&nbsp; Then Eveline passed it to her father, who as her guardian, was responsible for confirming that he too agreed to the match.&nbsp; There was no hesitation at all.&nbsp; Eveline had never seen Howard move faster as he pressed his thumb down onto the screen.&nbsp; At the final beep, the deal was done.<br><br>Just like that, Eveline was married.&nbsp;

				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.

				Ever the planner, Arabella wasn’t surprised when her communicator dinged with the message from her husband. <br><br>She knew this day was coming. <br><br>And she would be lying if she didn’t have anxiety about it. <br><br>For months, Colin had been searching for a second wife. She had attended countless functions with him, met at least a hundred potential women through acquaintances, friends, or business contacts. She contacted the correct contractors and decorators to prepare their home to share it with another woman. Ara and Colin had spoken about the possibility, almost since just after their son had been born. And finally, he had narrowed it down to a few select females. Today had been the last step to changing their lives forever. <br><br>But she trusted her husband. And he had consulted her on those choices. Something many of the women in her social circle did not get a chance to do. So often the husband simply made the decision and that was it. <br>She had even heard of women killing themselves over the choices their husband had made. <br><br>But she trusted the man who had her heart. <br><br>So she had spent the day preparing, sent the baby and nanny out for awhile, and readied herself for her husband’s return and the inevitable conversation that was needed. It was one thing to talk about another woman joining their family. The decision being final, however, would certainly feel different, she was sure. <br><br>With her hair in soft waves around her shoulders, dressed in a simple day dress (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418059&amp;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446806375&amp;R=849313035329&amp;P_name=4.collective&amp;N=306418059&amp;bmUID=kSy5Qv0), Ara paced in front of the windows as she waited for Colin to arrive. A glass of ice water was balanced in her hand. And she had forgone shoes, preferring the feel of the luxurious carpet and tile beneath her expertly manicured toes. <br><br>She was nervously tapping the band of her wedding ring against the glass when she heard the elevator ding. She set her glass down on a small table as she hurried out of the living room and towards the back of the Penthouse where the door to the elevator emptied out. She met her husband at the entryway, pulling the side of the double door open for him with a smile.<br><br>“Hello there handsome…”

				As the elevator doors opened he saw a hand slide in and help ease the elevator doors along their path. His eyes quickly took in the view before him and a broad smile crossed his face as she spoke. The dress she wore was simple in form yet laid along her curves, nicely accenting her figure. It didn't seem to matter what she wore, she always looked radiant. "Hello sweetheart.” His eyes continued to roam over her figure drinking her in. It would be a lie to say that his exchange during his meeting earlier hadn't gotten his hormones racing. Seeing his wife now, the flames of lust burned a bit hotter.<br><br>His hand reached out and met her figure, gliding across the flair of her hip and finally resting there as he stepped from the elevator. In the same movement pulling her close to him, "You look beautiful sweetie.” Leaning in his lips brushed hers softly before sinking into a tender and passionate kiss. Inhaling a bit he felt that all to familiar ache in his groin but he kept it at bay for now. He was sure she had questions. However, as the kiss lingered a bit longer he found himself wrapped around her like a warm blanket. His arms wrapping around her and his hands met in the middle of her back. Kissing each other like it had been days and not hours since they last saw each other. The two of them had always been passionate with each other, especially in their home. <br><br>Finally pulling back after a couple moments he gazed into her eyes that had an almost glow about them. The smile returned to his face as he spoke, “I hope your day is going well. I'm guessing you would like to know how the meeting went today?”

				Easily, Arabella sank into Colin’s embrace. There was never any resistance in her to him. She never felt the need to pull away, or turn him down, keep him at bay. Since the day they signed their marriage documents, she had been his. Leaving herself open to him had been one of the best decisions she’d made in this marriage. It allowed for easy communication. Both with their words and their bodies. <br><br>Her milky white skin blushed as he complimented and kissed her breath away. Twining her hands around his neck, letting her fingers sink into his thick locks, she melted against him until it was time to come up for air. Her eyes glazed over with soft pleasure, Ara smiled up at Colin. It was moments like this when he almost read her mind that she knew she had made the right choice in this man. <br><br>Nodding slowly, Ara pulled back just a tad from the embrace. “Today has been just fine, Col. I had the nanny take Colin Jr. out for the afternoon. I knew we’d want the place to ourselves for this conversa- Oh!” She had taken one of her hands off of him to use her thumb and wipe not only at the lipstick that smudged his lower lip from their kiss off, but her own as well. He had interrupted this motion as his hands traveled farther south on her body, easily hooking beneath her thighs and hoisting her up against him, encouraging her to wrap her legs around his waist as he took a step further into the penthouse and towards the large set of couches that faced the amazing view their home afforded them. <br><br>Ara’s surprised cried dissolved into soft laughter as her bare feet hooked together easily at the small of his back and her hands clung to his shoulders before she pressed another soft kiss to his lips. “Colin…” She whispered softly against his mouth, just before he lowered into a large, plush grey microfiber armchair. One that was almost big enough for them to sit side by side in. As they settled in, her hands went to work loosening his tie as she sat back a bit. <br><br>“So did Eveline agree to the marriage?” She asked softly, her eyebrows raising a bit in question and a soft smile playing on her lips as the tie came loose and she snaked it out of his collar. That one question would reveal much about how invested Ara had been in this change to their family. She and Colin had discussed adding another wife to their marriage at length, and he had even consulted her on the top candidates. All of which she knew from her social circles and events. So naturally, she had helped to steer Colin towards the woman she thought would be the best fit.&nbsp; <br>

				Settling into the chair, his eyes looking at Arabella’s face Colin couldn’t help but smile. She truly was a beautiful woman. Even in the sea of genetically perfected physical traits Arabella had captured his fancy almost immediately. It was her eyes. The sparkled and shone a light that made her face almost glow. There had been a clear physical attraction almost immediately when they met the first time. They had flirted pretty heavily so it was no surprise to either family when Colin had made his decision rather quickly about who his first wife would be.<br><br>As she loosened the tie around his neck with her nimble fingers he saw the look in her eye. She was curious of course about who would be joining their family but there was an all to familiar flame flickering behind them. This of course made his mind race at what was going to happen in this very chair but he did his best to keep those thoughts in check so he could have an actual conversation with his wife. “Of course she did. Nobody says no to a MacGregor.” His tone was playful and not as cocky as the statement would sound, even if it was the truth. “She certainly held her own in the interview process. I’m sure my father will have some choice words with how it went about.” He smirked at Ara as his hands dropped to her soft thighs. He was so glad she chose to wear this dress today. He loved how good her skin felt in his hands.<br><br>Colin's eyes had moved from Ara's face to looking at her body as she straddled his hips.“Gloria is getting her situated and she knows to send you the final room layout once Eveline makes her decisions.” His tone was very distant and business like, like he was just filling the air with information that wasn’t necessary at that time. His mind was to focused on Ara as his hands slid up her thighs slowly. Her skin radiated against the palm of his hands which in turn ignited the desire in him. His hips shifted instinctively as his eyes finished roaming along Ara’s body and catching her gaze once more. They would have a week to discuss the upcoming changes. Right now he had other things in mind. However, he did enjoy this coy game of talking like they were having a civilized conversation even though it was clear they both had other things in mind.

				The sound of the thin silk tie rubbing against the material of his collar rent through the air as Ara wrapped the length once around her hand slowly and then pulled fast. In one smooth motion, it was off his body, laid on the arm of the chair so she could put her hands back to use in unbuttoning his shirt, revealing Colin’s chest to her warm fingers and gaze. <br><br>“I’m sure you’ll handle your father just fine, like you always do…” She murmured softly, her hands tugging the shirt from the confines of his expertly tailored pants now, splitting it open so she could spread her palms over his abs. Her eyes had returned to his as he spoke about Gloria. And the arrangements to their home that would have to be made. She answered in kind, even as her hips rocked forward on his, her warm core grinding against the length she could feel hardening in his pants as his hands roamed over her naked thighs. <br><br>“I’ll start making the accommodations for the honeymoon,” she said softly. “I was thinking the resort in the Palms… All inclusive… All private…” Her voice trailed even as her nimble fingers began their work at his belt now. Undoing the leather buckle and strap. She had felt his gaze like a brand on her body and it made her nipples pucker beneath her dress. Something he was sure to spot. The only underwear Ara had donned that day was a soft white lace thong. Something she knew could be easily discarded. Something Colin had discarded a thousand times before. Or ripped. Or simply shoved to the side when their need for each other was too great. <br><br>With each flick of her wrist, that need was steadily rising…

				<strong>Eveline’s Room, Violette Home</strong><br><br>She pulled up the window and let the afternoon breeze wrap her with the warmth of the city spring.&nbsp; Her life was about to change.&nbsp; Forever.&nbsp; Tomorrow the car would arrive to take her to the airport, where she would join Colin and his wife on a plane to his private island for their honeymoon.&nbsp; And after that she would return not to the home she’d lived in all her life, the top two stories of the Violette Bank highrise, but to one at least equally posh halfway across the inner city, where the MacGregor empire ruled.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Her room was strewn with suitcases and boxes.&nbsp; Nearly everything she was taking had been packed into one of them, and that which she wasn’t ready for storage should she change her mind.&nbsp; &nbsp;Another large suitcase with the clothing and items she would need for her trip was set upon her bed.&nbsp; That one would accompany her tomorrow, while the rest would be moved to Colin’s to make her new set of chambers ready for her return.&nbsp; Eveline had packed only her best for her new husband.&nbsp; As much as she still despised - would always despise - the thought of being a second wife, something about Colin had drawn her immediately.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Perhaps in time the title could become a formality.&nbsp; Eveline was certain she could outdo Arabella, the woman whom Colin had taken as first wife.&nbsp; First and Second were an order of marriage, but Eveline was certain she could rearrange the true order.&nbsp; Certain that the moment she pulled her new husband into bed, her mind and her body would win him over.&nbsp; Please him.&nbsp; Such thoughts were considered illegal.&nbsp; Wives weren’t supposed to compete.&nbsp; They were supposed to honor and cherish and submit to their husband so that he could father as many child as possible upon them.&nbsp; But Eveline had never been good at following the rules. And she had sensed that Colin liked that about her.&nbsp; And perhaps this Arabella would fight her for the place. And perhaps not.&nbsp; Most women were born without that jealous competitive streak.&nbsp; Society had worked hard to breed it out of them.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>She was simply different. <br><br>She closed her eyes and imagined meeting them together for the first time.&nbsp; How she would act.&nbsp; How she would relate to them both.&nbsp; How Colin would expect them to act together.&nbsp; While it wasn’t spoken about in high society, everyone knew that powerful men enjoyed their wives fucking each other as much as them.&nbsp; That watching their woman do <em>everything</em> they desired was a rush.&nbsp; She and her friends had conversed in hushed whispers about such things, when speculating who might be their genetic match.&nbsp; Everyone in her grade wanted Colin Macgregor.&nbsp; Second or third or fourth wife.&nbsp; They cared not.&nbsp; <br><br>And here she was, Eveline Ann Violette MacGregor, the newest wife of the man who would soon hold the entire city in his hands.&nbsp; &nbsp;Power she knew he had every intention of sharing with her… if she gave him everything and anything he desired.

				Colin smiled as Ara’s hands and fingers grazed across his abs and up to his chest. Her touch was exquisite. They had shared plenty of moments like this before but he never grew tired of her touch. She had a talent of simple touches and movements that brought his arousal to life very quickly. As his eyes continued to roam over her he could see he wasn’t the only one enjoying this moment. Seeing her nipples appearing from under her dress, her hips shifting and hearing her breathing she was ready for further teasing. A grin teased his lips as his hands moved to her bare thighs. Her skin was like fine silk brushing against his palms. The heat from her skin radiating against him as his hands moved further up, her dress bunched around his wrists. “That is exactly what I had in mind my dear, something...private...with no interruptions.”<br><br>As he finished speaking his head moved down to her neck and his lips brushed across her skin tenderly. Lips plucking at her skin and tongue flicking softly along the column of her neck, his hands finally reaching her lace thong and he smiled against her. She had worn these before and he did enjoy how sexy she looked in them. Sitting back his hands gripped her dress and began lifting it slowly up and over her head. As the dress floated to the floor behind her he admired her form. She was breathtaking, her full breasts sitting nicely against her chest, her waist flaring out to her hips. His eyes moved back to meet hers and the desire and lust in her eyes matched his own. His hands helped her finish undoing his belt and opening his slacks. “How about a preview my dear of what you can expect on our upcoming honeymoon?” As he spoke his hand gripped the tie she had discarded and pushed her hands behind her back. A wicked grin splashed across his face as the soft silk tie was wrapped around her wrists a couple times then tied securely. She now sat on his lap, completely at his mercy for whatever he had in store…<br><hr><br>Life had been a bit busy at home as life was showing signs of the upcoming change. Ara was busy making sure he never had to worry about things being setup for the new woman who would soon be joining them.&nbsp; She had even taken care of the packing and making sure babysitting was in order for their son. He really was a very lucky man and he of course had shown her quite often over the last few days how much he appreciated her efforts.<br><br>The car would be arriving shortly to pick them up and take them to the airport where they would meet Eveline and begin their lives together as a new family. Colin admittedly had been distracted by this thought quite a bit as of late. The fact they were legally married already yet she was not with him was a nuisance. It was tradition to allow the family to help the new bride get things prepared and to say any good bye’s and what not. From the moment Colin met Eve he was ready to have her. He was not one to be denied anything in life and the power his family held afforded him that luxury. This was something he was being denied for now. Yet, it did make the need for her almost palpable at this point. So, it wasn’t all bad but he was certainly ready to sate his desire. He double checked his mental notes to make sure he had everything then began walking towards the kitchen to make sure all was ready. “Ara, everything set? Are we ready to go?”

				When you married into one of the most powerful families of the realm, and hell, also came from one of those powerful families? Things happened quickly when you needed them too. Contractors came and went silently, without disturbing the family and a whole second suite was built onto their home floor just for Eveline. Ara made sure to pick only the most qualified builders and decorators, and let them know up front that money was no object. Do what it would take to get things finished before the family came back from their honeymoon with one extra wife. <br><br>Everything just had to be perfect. The better off it was, the easier the transition for Eveline – and Ara and Colin – would be. <br><br>So the day before the honeymoon, Ara packed up Colin Jr. and their nanny, sending them off to her mother’s for the time they would be gone. It would feel like hell to be away from her son… but she had faith in Colin that he would keep her and Eveline occupied enough that her heart would be distracted and not too broken by the time they returned. <br><br>Wearing the new necklace Colin had gifted her with, Ara was dressed in a soft black and white dress (http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/michael-michael-kors-dot-print-belted-shirtdress?ID=2116581&amp;CategoryID=5449&amp;LinkType=#fn=PRICE%3D100.0|250.0;;250.0|500.0%26SPECIAL_OCCASIONS%3DCasual%26PAGEINDEX%3D1%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D108%26ruleId%3D%26slotId%3D2) and soft black flats. Easy to get on and off their plane and to travel in. Also easy access for Colin should he choose to start their honeymoon early. But she was just putting the last of her things into her purse when he walked into the kitchen. <br><br>Turning her face up to his for a quick kiss, she nodded before zipping the purse closed. “All set, Colin. I just spoke with Mother and the baby is doing just fine with her. So that makes me feel better.” She tucked her purse onto her arm and slid her hand in his as he led them over to their elevator. “All that’s left is to get to the airport. And the car should be waiting downstairs.” <br><br>Which is exactly where they made their way to. Down the elevator, into the waiting luxury sedan, and then whisked to the airport where they would meet up with Eveline. The entire car-ride over, Ara continued to go over her mental notes about the woman. What she liked to eat, what her dress size was, and how she could encourage her to be happy with becoming Colin’s Second wife and not snubbed that she wasn’t a First.

				Eveline stepped out the door of her parent’s house, realizing it would be the last time she left it as her residence.&nbsp; From this point on, for the rest of her life, she would live with Colin in his home, visiting her parents but never staying.&nbsp; Her bedroom would be converted for some other use by her mother, as they’d done with her sister’s some time before, and by the time she returned from the honeymoon, all her things would be transported to her new chambers in Colin’s suites.&nbsp; <br><br>The car was already waiting for her and the driver opened the door.&nbsp; He politely helped her into the backseat.&nbsp; She would travel alone to the airport, only meeting Colin and Arabella once she arrived.&nbsp; It would be her first real encounter with Colin’s wife.&nbsp; They’d met before, briefly, at many of the events the upper caste attended in the course of the year, their social circles limited to only those with the most elite of genetics.&nbsp; Thus, everyone knew at the very least of everyone else, and had shaken hands a few times over the course of their lives.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>The car navigated through the streets, on route to the airport.&nbsp; Eveline looked out the window, watching people go about their normal lives, unaware or uncaring that hers was about to change.&nbsp; She thought about Colin MacGregor, a man of power, one whose place in this world was very much assured.&nbsp; And becoming his wife meant hers was as well.&nbsp; There would be nothing but the best for the women who graced Colin’s bed and brought sons and daughters to his household. <br><br>Of Arabella, she knew very little.&nbsp; The woman had stood by her husband’s side with confidence at the many events he presided over.&nbsp; She seemed friendly, likable, comfortable in her position.&nbsp; Eveline had no idea of behind the closed doors she was a mouse or a bitch, easy to step on or ready to bare her teeth.<br><br>She supposed it was time to find out.&nbsp; <br><br>The car pulled up at the airport and Eveline waited for the driver to open her door and help her out.&nbsp; &nbsp;She smoothed the sundress, a spaghetti strapped flimsy thing made of a floral patterned cotton, over her legs and glanced around, wondering if she’d been first or if her new husband had already arrived.
