    About this ebook

    Book 2

    Knock, knock...Bang, Bang, Bang

    "Urgh! Who is banging on my door this early on a Saturday morning?" Renee mutters while making herself coffee in her small apartment kitchen. She looks up at the time on the microwave's clock "After almost no sleep last night-this is the last thing that I need at 7:00 am." She complains. The coffee cup slams onto the kitchen granite countertop, and Renee charges toward the front door. She whips the door open.

    "Melaine? Wha...Why...." Before Renee can manage a sentence, Melaine walks directly in without waiting to be invited in. 

    "So this is where you spend your nights, and weekends. Hmmm...Quaint!" Melaine comments. Renee stares at the woman confused, and somewhat worried. "Melaine, why...". Renee begins, but Melaine interrupts.

    "Renee, I know you're wondering why I'm here." Melaine begins in a softened tone. "Colin told me everything that he did to you yesterday. He really does feel awful, and I am sorry too."

    Renee's eyes widen. She knows? He told her! Melaine keeps talking. "He doesn't want you to leave the firm...he knows you've worked hard, and deserve every chance you get." Melaine continues. Renee is slightly agitated by the comment. Still, she appreciates all Melaine's done for her. She's discerned that her boss genuinely took her under her wing, to mentor, and grow her creative gift, but her boss' boss, and founder of the company - Colin Winston - had been cruel to her. As far as she is concerned, he is a predator.

    Book 3

    "Renee! Honey, what are you doing here?" Pilar, Renee's mother comes out her home, excited, and surprised to see her daughter siting in her car, in the driveway. "I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. You hadn't said that you were coming down to visit this weekend?" Renee remains sitting still in the driver's seat of the car. She is numb.

    "Renee...Renee honey, what's wrong?" He mother asks. Renee had actually been sitting in the driveway for about twenty minutes before her mother realized she was there. "Renee!" Pilar hollers, now standing by the driver's door, looking into the window. Renee awakes from her somewhat comatose state.

    "Ma, what are you doing?" Renee asks looking at her mother strangely. "Why are you just sitting in the car? Why don't you come in?" Pilar asks her daughter who is acting strangely. Renee rolls her eyes.

    "I'm coming Ma. Can you back up a bit?" Renee asks, giggling at her hovering mother. Pilar looks down, and around her, and then steps back. Renee exits the car. She wraps her arms around her mother, and embraces her firmly. Renee's mother returns an equally tight embrace.

      His Urges

      Hattie Black

      CHAPTER 1

      Knock, knock...Bang, Bang, Bang

      Urgh! Who is banging on my door this early on a Saturday morning? Renee mutters while making herself coffee in her small apartment kitchen. She looks up at the time on the microwave's clock After almost no sleep last night-this is the last thing that I need at 7:00 am. She complains. The coffee cup slams onto the kitchen granite countertop, and Renee charges toward the front door. She whips the door open.

      Melaine? Wha...Why.... Before Renee can manage a sentence, Melaine walks directly in without waiting to be invited in. 

      So this is where you spend your nights, and weekends. Hmmm...Quaint! Melaine comments. Renee stares at the woman confused, and somewhat worried. Melaine, why.... Renee begins, but Melaine interrupts.

      Renee, I know you're wondering why I'm here. Melaine begins in a softened tone. Colin told me everything that he did to you yesterday. He really does feel awful, and I am sorry too.

      Renee's eyes widen. She knows? He told her! Melaine keeps talking. He doesn't want you to leave the firm...he knows you've worked hard, and deserve every chance you get. Melaine continues. Renee is slightly agitated by the comment. Still, she appreciates all Melaine's done for her. She's discerned that her boss genuinely took her under her wing, to mentor, and grow her creative gift, but her boss' boss, and founder of the company - Colin Winston - had been cruel to her. As far as she is concerned, he is a predator.

      Melaine, I can't stay there. Renee begins, trying to conceal her true displeasure about the incident that transpired between herself, and Colin the evening before. The incident where he deceptively lured her to the back room of a French restaurant to seduce her, as he had done with other young women-or so she thought. I don't want to stay there. Renee confirms.

      He wouldn't be there Renee. Melaine begins to explain in a calming tone. "He's leaving...he's heading overseas to check in on some of our foreign firms, and scout new locations for possible new ones. Melaine informs, now smiling. Renee sighs loudly. That is supposed to make me feel better? she thinks.

      So, is that how he gets away with inappropriate behavior toward an employee...He just gets to up, and fly away? Renee says, finally displaying her frustration, and anger. Well I guess that's what rich, and powerful gets ya. Renee spits out disgusted. She plops down onto her brown leather couch in the middle of the room, facing the wall opposite the kitchen. Melaine sighs, walks over to the couch, and plops down next to her.

      Renee, I am not trying to make excuses for Colin, but he usually doesn't care. Women, at the firm, and outside the firm, throw themselves at him all the time. He goes through them without remorse. Somehow, this time what he's done irks him to the core. Our office is the flagship office, which he is very proud of. Yet, he's leaving it in Travis' hands so that you don't have to start over. He usually couldn't care less about the ramifications of his actions. This was all his idea.

      Renee stands up, and looks down at Melaine. If Melaine dared to come into her personal space, the same place she had witnessed her boyfriend and best friend betray her-almost two months ago-then she is going to get an earful. I just want to create...to design...to turn old into new, to surprise, to revolutionize...to make art. I didn't interview at BYWINSTON because of Colin. I interviewed because your firm is doing things that others are not. You guys are edgy, and shake things up. I admired that, and wanted to be apart. Renee reveals to Melaine. So what happened, is the last thing I wanted. It is the last thing I even expected. I wish...um...I wish you never changed me. He would have never seen me. Renee boldly confesses and walks over to the countertop to grab her cold coffee, in order to mask the tears welling up in her eyes.

      Melaine rises and walks over to the kitchen counter too. She is a tough business woman, but she is also a nurturing leader. Renee, I am so sorry about everything, but my purpose for helping you with your image was to instill confidence...and yes, to assist with winning clients over. I had no idea that you would have had such an impression on Colin Winston. Perhaps he sees what I have always seen in you. You are a remarkable woman. You're just the only one who doesn't know it. Melaine informs Renee, and without an invitation, walks over to Renee's coffee pot, sitting near her stove, and brews a fresh pot of coffee. 

      So this is where you dream up all your fabulous ideas huh? Melanie investigates each room as she waits for the coffee to be ready. Standing over Renee's entertainment center, across from her couch she notices her trade magazines. Melanie picks them up, one by one and rifles through them. She then looks up at the flat screen hanging above her head. Smart TV I'm guessing? She says, pivoting her neck, and shoulder to look back at Renee who hasn't moved from the kitchen, and still wears a frown on her face. Very nice...but we will have to get at least a 52 in here. This is...what 32? No, no it wouldn't do for you any longer. Melanie tells Renee, who just shakes her head.

      Melaine continues down the short hallway leading to the bathroom, and bedroom. Renee begins to follow her. Where does she think she's going? Renee begins to wonder. Melaine peeks into the open bathroom, on the left, mumbles incoherently, and continues further toward the bedroom straight ahead. What are you doing? Renee finally asks.

      Is this your bedroom? Melaine answered with a question.

      Yes...um, it is, and there is nothing to see. Renee tells her.

      A curious Melaine takes one more step to reach the door handle, and begins to open the door. There is nothing to see in there! Renee screams. A startled Melaine quickly releases the door knob, jumps back, and turns around to face a frantic Renee. You can't go in there. Renee tells her shaking. It's not ready for anyone, not even me.

      Melaine has so many questions but she just walks over to Renee, places her right hand on Renee's right shoulder, and turns her around. Let's go get that coffee.

      Melaine fixes a cup of coffee for Renee, and herself. Then she rummages through Renee's kitchen cupboards, and fridge to produce a decent breakfast. The mentor, and mentee sip coffee, nibble on a hodgepodge breakfast and chat continuously for about three hours or so.

      CHAPTER 2

      Renee is glad that she embraced the opportunity to open up to Melaine on Saturday morning. She felt more understood, and learned more about how her immediate boss thinks, and what she knows about the young Mr. Winston - Still, Melaine failed to mention that she and the young tycoon are related.

      Early Sunday morning, several bouquets of flowers, and boxes with gifts begin to arrive via private delivery. Each card read; "I am sorry. Don't hold
