Steve read through the papers, his face alternately tightening and blanching as he read through the list of her demands.
“You want the house… and the lodge? Not the lodge, my father built…!”
Angie cut him off.
“Steven, if you don’t agree to everything there, you’re not going to need either one. As it is, you’re going to be far too busy rebuilding your business to need vacations in Lake Tahoe if word of this gets out… and it will if you don’t toe the line. I’m not being unreasonable; this is not California, after all, I’m not going to strip you bare, although it may feel like it; all I want is what’s mine, to eventually go to my children and grandchildren, and to Joey as well; he’s your son too. What you do with what’s left is of no interest to me; leave it one of your little tramps for all I care, but you will sign this and make sure your children get their due. You just need to consider the consequences of not complying with the clauses in that piece of paper in your hand. Sign it, keep your word, and nothing ever surfaces ever again. Fight me on this, and you’ll find out just what I’m prepared to do to bring you to your knees. Are we communicating now, Steven Dolan?”
Steve nodded, a sick expression on his face, and when Angie proffered a pen and pointed to the documents, he signed without a quibble.
Angie took the papers from his unresisting hands.
“Now that’s done, I never want to see or hear from you ever again, is that understood? My lawyers will be in touch with you to finalise the agreement, and remember, you stay away from your children or you go to jail. This is how you pay for what you did to our kids, and you’re getting off lightly; if it had been up to me I’d have taken a shotgun and blown your balls off for what you did to Casey, but this way, our kids can rest assured they’ll never have to hear from you ever again. It’s not justice, but it is payback, and it will have to do.”
She stood up and folded the documents Steve had signed, pushing them into her purse and flicking her hair out of her eyes. She made to leave, but paused at the door.
“I went to see Robbie and Casey, they’re happy together, he adores her, and he forgave me for her sake. I tried, and he let me back in, just a little way, but at least I still have a small part of my son to hold onto. You could have had the same, you could have tried. But did you even want to, I wonder? Well, now you’ll never know, and at the end of your days, when you’re alone, will you ask yourself ‘what if…?’ Maybe then you’ll finally understand what it means to destroy the most precious gift you were ever given. Goodbye Steve.”
Angie walked out of the hospital, stopped, and took a deep breath. As she did, she thought of Robbie and Casey, and a bright, happy smile spread across her face.

Three months passed, three hectic, busy months; Casey graduated 28th in a class of 200, and immediately moved down from Sacramento to Daly City, Robbie and Joey hiring a U-haul van to collect all her stuff and bring it back to the condo on Gellert. Joey and Karen moved to Daly City, to an apartment on Southgate Avenue, an easy commute to Palo Alto and a five-minute drive from Robbie and Casey. Joey had joined Robbie within three weeks of quitting his job, and had quickly immersed himself in the task of pushing GameStx into the forefront as a major player in the game software market. Already he had developed and unveiled plans for the company that had Steve and Elio Vargas salivating; Robbie merely smiled, his faith in Joey completely vindicated. Other plans also began to come together, marriage plans. Karen wanted to get married in the local Catholic Church, Our Lady of Pity, her parents wanted them to marry in their church in San Bernadino, and Joey didn’t care where they got married as long as they actually got married.
At last the day dawned. Joey and Karen finally tied the knot in Daly City, their family and closest friends around them, and one surprising guest; Angie Rayne-Dolan, who, after a few tentative overtures, had become friendly with Sarah, and had been invited at Joey’s request, on the grounds that she was, almost, family. The Reception was held at the Hilton on Union Square, a gift from Steve and Elio Vargas.
After the toasts, and the banquet that followed, Joey led Karen onto the floor for their first dance, followed after a circuit by Robbie and Casey, then Sarah partnered with Steve, and surprisingly, Elio and Angie, looking very shy and self-conscious. During the course of the day the ladies were passed around from partner to partner, until Casey decided that she needed some Robbie time, so she decoyed him away from the family and led him away.
“Babe, where are we going, Joey’s gonna…?” inquired Robbie.
“Shush Robbie, just follow me, all will be revealed!” grinned Casey, taking him up to one of the suites. “This is Karen and Joey’s Suite; Karen gave me the key, I want to have you to myself for a while, so get in there, boy!”
Robbie grinned and went to unlock the door, but it was already open. He peered inside, but nothing seemed to have been disturbed, so he shrugged and pulled Casey in and closed the door behind them. The drapes were closed so the room was in dim light, but Robbie could see it was a sitting room, part of a two-room suite with what was obviously a bedroom through another door. As soon as the door was closed, Casey turned to him and pulled him down to kiss him seriously, meaningfully.
Robbie felt himself hardening, as did Casey, her hands rubbing and fondling his crotch as he squeezed her taut buttocks while they kissed.
Casey fumbled with his belt, and Robbie responded by slipping her dress off her shoulders to let it pool on the ground around her feet. She was only wearing wispy little mesh panties, and they soon followed the dress as Robbie stripped her. His need was now almost overwhelming, and as Casey released him from his pants and tugged his cock out of his shorts, he lifted her by her perfect ass, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist. As she did, he thrust forward, impaling her in one movement. Casey gasped as he slid into her so fast, and Robbie moved until her back was to the door, pinning her there as he began to piston his cock into her.
