A Billionaire's Obsession 3 (BWWM Interracial Romance): Claiming Her Heart by Hattie Black

 
    CHAPTER 1
     
    " 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 a cting
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.
    "Why are you here Renee-joi? Is everything okay?"
Pilar asks concerned. Renee's parents were somewhat hippies in their youth.
They named Renee, Renee-joi, but the "joi" dropped off early in
her scho ol days, when she was repeatedly questioned,
and teased. Her parents tended to return to using it when they sought to
comfort her, or just plain wanted to pamper her. In this instance, Pilar senses
that she will need to do both.
    Renee takes a remarkably de ep
breath. "Mom, I didn't plan on coming home." Renee draws her mother's
attention to her current outfit. "I began to drive...I needed to
think...and I ended up here." She explains.
    Rene's mother knows that something is wrong. She knows her
daughter, oh t oo well.
    "Come inside sweetheart. You're still early enough for
breakfast." Renee is beginning to feel hungry. It is 10:00 am now. She had
been driving for about 4 hours since she left Colin Winston asleep at the
Barboa Hotel in Trojan City. She drove aro und aimlessly
for two hours, before she decided to take a long, and slow trek home to her
parents.
    Renee nods, and follows her mother into the house.
    ***
    "Renee! It is so good to see you." Her father
says, and wraps his arms around his only child-and "little
princess" forever in his eyes.
    "Hi Dad!" Renee settles into his embrace.
"How are you?" She asks genuinely.
    "I am even better, now that I have seen you. I didn't
know you were coming down. Did your mother know...Pilar did you know?" Max
says looki ng over at his wife. The mother, and
daughter answer in unison.
    "Noooo." The entire family chuckles.
    "She is going to have breakfast, and then we will
chat." Pilar says.
    "Well we can chat while she eats breakfast. I have tee
time at 11." Max indicates.
    Renee catches up with her parents while her mother fixes
her some breakfast, and her Dad sits across from her at the quaint kitchen
table in the center of the kitchen.
    "We are very proud of you RJ." Max tells Renee.
"Your mother tells me about all the gr eat work
you're doing up there in Trojan. She even shows me your new work on that
BYWINSTON website. Renee smiles politely. I wonder how proud you'll be when you
learn that I've screwed the company's founder. The thought makes her sick. She stands,
approac hes the fridge, and reaches for a cold bottle
of water.
    Renee takes two large gulps, and returns to her seat across
from her father. "So you're playing golf today, huh Dad?" Renee tries
to change the subject. "When did this start?"
    Renee's Dad begins to r amble on
about how he fell in love with the sport. He describes the men that he's become
friendly with at the golf course, what they each do for a living, and that
Pilar recommended the men, and their wives come to the house for a potluck
dinner soon. The conversation sort of soothes Renee.
It frees her mind of her own thoughts, while
