Melody Anne's Billionaire Universe: Going to the Chapel (Kindle Worlds Novella) (The Colter Family Book 1) by N Kuhn

Prologue
    Katherine walked regally up to the table as her friend Marcia looked on. She smiled warmly at her friend and neighbor. The women had lived close to each other for decades. Their families growing close together over the years.
“Darling, how did you do it?” Marcia Colter questioned her before she could even sit. “How did you get those boys married off so quickly?” Though her own children were a good ten years behind the Anderson offspring, she was ready for grandchildren of her own. All of her friends were already bouncing babies off their knees and she was stuck wondering if her children would even marry. Her daughter Robin had been close. But a quick call this morning before she boarded a plane, had Marcia in a tizzy. Her daughter’s boyfriend had cheated on her. Though her and her husband never liked Darren, they had wanted to be happy for their daughter, so they tried to accept him. Turning her attention back to her friend, she smiled at her.
“Oh Marcia, it was all Joseph’s doing. That man, though he blamed me, just couldn’t be patient and let it happen on its own.”
“Maybe he should have come to lunch too,” Marcia joked.
“He handpicked the women he found for the boys. Not that I’m complaining. Those girls have become like my own daughters. So,” she placed a hand over her friends warmly. “How’s Robin? You sounded upset this morning.”
     
    “Darren cheated on her, so now she’s on her way to Vegas for a girl’s weekend.” Marcia sighed, worried about her youngest baby. Of four children, she was the only girl. The boys had babied and protected her while growing up. At times, Marcia and her husband Gio had worried that she was too sheltered. Robin was smart, but had bad luck when it came to trusting others. Being out on her own worried them.
“Well, if you’re worried about her being in Vegas alone, I could always have Justin check in on her.” Katherine raised her eyebrows and smirked at Marcia.
“Oh, and who’s Justin,” she asked her friend, suddenly less worried about her daughter. Her mind began reeling with ideas and sly actions.
“Well, Alex and Jessica’s nanny, Julia, raised these amazing young children. Justin is the oldest boy. From what Julie tells us he’s the CEO of a new casino his father built in Vegas. Last time he was home visiting, we had him join us for dinner. You know how we love our family dinners and everyone we know is close enough to be family. Joseph so does love it when our house is full. He’s a good looking boy, great manners,” Katherine sighed, looking over at Marcia. “But, you know, just to make sure poor, broken hearted Robin is ok on her own in Vegas?” Marcia grinned back at the woman sitting across the table from her, nodding excitedly. Katherine pulled out her phone, tapping her perfectly polished nails on the tablecloth as Marcia asked the waiter for a few more minutes to look at the menu.
     
    “Jessica, darling, how is the family?” She listened for a moment. “Well then, I called to ask you a small favor. Do you think Julia could call up Justin for me? A dear friend of mine has a daughter who just spur of the moment took off to Vegas for a girl’s weekend. Her mother is just worried, poor Robin has never been off on her own like that before. We would just feel so much better if Justin could possibly look in on the young ladies?” Marcia shook her head at the obvious deception she was pulling on her daughter in law. The Andersons should certainly start teaching lessons on fixing up their kids. They were way too good at it. Hanging up, she smiled, tilting her head to the side.
“Justin will call you shortly and you can work out details of him looking in on our darling Robin. So, now, what should we order for lunch?” The women laughed and opened their menus.
