Chapter One
The wedding of the year.
Alexandra Michaels stared out the window of her
office， her gaze not focused on anything in particu-
lar. The Los Angeles sky was overcast， filled with dark
gray clouds， and a steady rain had been coming down
for the past hour. Yet nothing could dampen her ela-
tion.
Her intercom buzzed， and she walked over and
pressed one of the buttons.
\"Alex? Your mother s on the line.\"
Almost nothing.
\"1 11 take it.\" There was a quiet note of resignation
in Alex s voice. She knew what conversation this was
going to be. There were hundreds of variations on this
particular theme. One thing about her mother， she was
persistent.
\"Alex? Darling， are you there?\"
\"I m here.\" She was nervous already， hating the
way her mother sometimes brought out the worst in
her. The short， clipped voice. The defensive attitude.
Why couldn t they treat each other as friends?
