“We should've figured this out years ago,” Carter says, his forehead resting against mine.

“What? That fucking is better than fighting?” I reply.

“That we’re better together,” Carter says.

“ You’re right,” I say, “better late than never I suppose.”

“True. We’ve figured out us, and now we’ll figure out what to do about that bitch Wanda,” Carter says.

I smile a genuine smile for the first time in weeks.

Chapter Twenty-Two

Good Day, USA

Welcome to Good Day USA! I’m your host, Christina Robertson.

Erika:

And I’m your co-host this morning, Erika Medina.

We’re shifting our coverage on Operation Eliza Watch from Eliza Seymour to her two stepfather's this morning.

Christina:

That’s right. Sources claim that a very major meeting has just occurred between the two Wall Street titans. We’re wondering whether these two men, who have a long held animosity toward each other, could be burying the hatchet at long last.

Erika:

I mean, let’s face it, Christina, anyone who is anyone in the world of Wall Street knows that Carter Blake and Derek Stackford have had no love lost between each other. Derek Stackford has always been the flashier bad boy, living a playboy lifestyle after his marriage to Wanda Seymour ended. But Carter Blake has been known to get around himself. Not the open ladies man that Derek is, he’s been linked however to lots of leading ladies in his time.

Christina:

So what could bring these two men together?

Erika:

Well, we can only speculate. But it’s a fair guess to say it has something to do with our favorite little rich girl.

Christina:

Eliza Seymour?

Erika:

Right on the first try, Christina. Ever since Eliza has come back from Paris and set foot in New York City, these men have been hovering around her. We wonder if it's familial concern where the two men may be competing against each other to be the best father.

Christina:

Or … to be the best Daddy.

Erika:

That’s very true. While we don't have any credible proof as of yet, there are a lot of people who are speculating that Eliza may be the object of affection for either Derek or Carter.

Christina.

That’s right. So this big meeting between Carter and Derek may be not about money at all…but about who gets to tap the vajayjay.

Erika:

Or, this could all be blown up. Remember, there are no sources who have adequately confirmed that there is any romantic connection between Eliza and either man yet.

Christina:

But those same sources haven’t seen either man with another woman yet! That alone should tell you something is up!

Erika:

You could have a point…

Christina:

I mean, come on. You take the biggest playboy of Wall Street, Derek Stackford, who literally is known for getting his interns on their knees. Then you take one of New York City’s most eligible bachelors – Carter Blake - a man which most likely every female New Yorker wants to get trapped in an elevator during a power outage with. And you toss in a bad girl like our heiress, the Wild Child of New York City, and you put them in the same vicinity. And then you see that they’re not dating or doing anyone and have gone quiet all of a sudden. And you can’t help but start jumping to conclusions.

Erika:

Again…unsubstantiated conclusions.

Christina: But without any evidence to the contrary, knowing these three individuals and their past, this seems to be the rational conclusion. Someone is trying to do someone. And stepfather or not, there is a competition most likely going on between two men that actively dislike each other for the affections of Eliza Seymour.

Erika:

And there you have it folks. Society page sleuthing. That’s unfortunately all the time we have today for this segment, but stick around after the commercial break and we’ll talk to Arsen Hawke and his take on the rebirth of phone sex operations across the country.

Chapter Twenty-Three

Eliza

This is it.

After thinking long and hard about what I should do, I’ve finally reached a decision. Much like I did when I decided to fuck them both, I’ve decided to go with both of their recommendations. They’re the best at what they do, and what better than to have two titans of finance as my advisors?

Besides, the way I see it, going with the two of them is the best course of action for me. If I screw up my first investments, there’s no doubt in my mind that Wanda would try to make it look as if I’m not the right person to be managing the Seymour fortune. Oh, I bet she’d love that.

Still, don’t think that putting together an investment plan is easy to do because I have Derek and Carter’s plan. Even if I’m just planning on using a fraction of my fortune, $250 billion is a nightmare to manage.

I throw one last glance at the documents in front of me, and I feel my eyes burning just from looking at them. The numbers and letters seem to dance before my eyes, and I close them for a second and rub my temples. No, I’ve read these damn briefings, and spreadsheets for too long now. I’ve made my decision and I’m going to stick by it. The planning time is over—now it’s time to act.
