The Deal

Why? Wasn't it clear, cheating dad, absent mom or was there something else at play there? Zane could not help being more curious.

That curiosity lingered on his mind after they played Monopoly and Jasper won, his father had a lot to say about it, including the heavy suspicion on Jasper who grinned.

He was still curious about it at the party.

Faint lights hone down on four sparkling pools, surrounded by several large umbrellas. Girls and boys mingled with each other, either dancing or flirting around, these pools had not been here when he came so his grandfather must have altered the geometry so that the party would be amazing and it was.

He had been in the ballroom for a while but he attracted so many stares and gossip that he had found his way out of there and come here where the younger party was mostly partying. There was a known band playing on the stage and waiters moved around with trays.
