representing an Alexander Jackson?”
    “Oh My God, John that’s my ex-husband!” Charlotte was at a loss for words, unsure how to feel. Why would John’s dad be involved? How would he know her? Was John spying on her for her Ex? It would make sense and be her luck; he was so persistent to get close to her. Multiple thoughts began to run through her mind, none of them good.
    “Charlotte, calm down honey, please, you’re going to get sick with worry and upset. Let’s just read through this and I can talk to my dad to see what’s going on.”
    “What’s going on?! I’ll tell you what’s going on John Ranger! You lied to me, you used me for my Ex! You are a lying bastard that played on my heart strings knowing I was vulnerable and an easy target, how could you!”
    “Charlotte what are you talking about? Stop, your acting crazy.”
    “Crazy? I’ll show you crazy! Get out!”
    “Charlotte, stop please, and listen to me, I don’t have a clue what you’re saying, I love you, I didn’t play you, please listen to me.”
    Charlotte saw nothing but red through the pleas, each word only hurt her more and cut her deeper. He still stood lying to her. Confused and hurt Charlotte lowered her voice to a calm stern whisper; “Just get out, I need to sort through all this and I don’t need you here right now.”
    Hurt, John stormed out leaving the papers on the counter, he had read them and was now determined to find out what was going on and who was the cause of ruining what could have been the best thing that ever happened to him and he knew just who to start with…his father!
    John stormed into his father’s office with a fury that scared a few of his father’s associates. When John spoke it was with dominance “Leave now!” The associates all got up except his father who seemed stunned by his son’s fury. “What is the meaning of this intrusion Johnathan?”
    “What is your connection to Alexander Jackson?”
    “How do you know? Wait, where did you get that name from?”
    “Your stupid goon you had serve his ex-wife Charlotte Jackson, that’s where!”
    “Johnathan what on earth are you talking about? How do you know about that case?”
    “That’s the woman I intend on marrying that’s how! You and your client may have just ruined it you worthless bastard!”
    “Johnathan you’re not thinking clearly, that woman is unstable and will be under investigation for her poor parenting skills, she’s a danger.”
    “She’s not a danger you self-absorbed asshole, all you see is money and your wife abusing client’s lies!”
    “Lies son? She’s sick, just ask her yourself”
    “Sick how? What are you talking about?”
    “She hasn’t told you?” Intrigued his father slowed to a smile, now realizing he had the upper hand in this situation. Of course Charlotte would reel his son in, he had money, wealth and a strong name behind him, just like his client use to have. Oh yes, he was already warned about Charlotte Jackson, the failed socialite whose father had disowned her for her stupidity and now she was sinking her hands into his son.
    “Father, what are you talking about? You don’t even know her and now you may have ruined the one true happiness I’ve ever had.”
    “Stop complaining Johnathan! You’re a Ranger for Christ sake, have some dignity. I get it son, you fell for long legs with easy access, it happens to the best of us.”
    “Don’t you ever talk about her that way! You don’t even know her; she is an amazing mother and the one I’m going to marry.”
    His father took a stride at him, now obviously frustrated with the confrontation. He took one big deep breath and the furry in his father’s eye lit like a wild fire, consuming everything in its path.
    “Listen here you little shit, I paid for your law school, your licensing and all your expenses since. I have put up with your dreams of wanting to play the field and live this carefree life style, throwing all your college away, but no
