from the room’s rising heat, Jonas leaned back in his leather chair, fingered his collar and wished the blood pulsing in both heads would ease. “What did you come here for?”
    “Business.” She reached for her briefcase and pulled out some papers. “You’re being sued.”
     
    Ophelia loved being married, but loved being a mother even more. As she strolled through the doors of T&B Entertainment, wearing a wide smile and bouncing baby Imani on her hip, Paula leaped up from behind the reception desk and led the charge to surround Ophelia and coo silly baby talk at the newborn.
    “She’s so adorable. How old is she now?”
    “Seven months,” Ophelia boasted proudly. “She’s looks more and more like her father every day.”
    Paula leaned back and studied Imani cramming her fist into her mouth. “She might have his nose and cheeks but she definitely has your eyes.”
    Ophelia flushed, but continued to beam at her bundle of joy while more women at the record label, which were most of the employees, tickled, pinched and kissed Imani.
    “We’ve come to take my adorable husband to lunch, please tell me he’s not in some stuffy meeting.”
    A few of the women gave cursory glances at each other that pricked Ophelia’s curiosity. “Is something wrong?”
    “Oh, no,” Paula covered, but obviously no one ever told her she was a bad liar. “Um, he should be up in his office. I’ll just buzz Chelsea and let her know you’re on your way up.”
    “Mmm. Okay.” Ophelia glanced to the other women; however, they all suddenly got very busy and had to rush off for one thing or another. None of this was a good sign and it instantly had Ophelia suspecting bad news.
    And she was right.
    “Jonas did what?” she thundered incredulously.
    An angry Solomon paced the length of his office and Ophelia swore she saw steam billowing from his ears. “You should have warned me about how vindictive this man is. He can’t have you so he’s decided to go after my company!”
    Hearing her father’s angry tone, Imani scrunched her face and began to cry.
    Ophelia immediately huddled her daughter close to comfort her.
    Instantly contrite, Solomon stopped his angry prowl and went to his favorite girls. “Oh, my baby.” He held out his arms and Imani reached for him. The moment she was in his arms, the crying stopped.
    Ophelia rolled her eyes and pretended to be wounded. “She’s going to be a spoiled daddy’s girl.”
    “Yeah.” Solomon grinned at his wife. “Just like her mother.”
    After giving him a playful pop on the shoulder, Ophelia returned back to the business at hand. “Did he say why he bought shares of the company?”
    Tensing but maintaining his smile, Solomon continued to bounce his daughter in his arms. “It’s pretty obvious why, don’t you think?”
    “Well, I just can’t believe that he would be malicious about what happened...I mean we both stopped the wedding because I...” She sighed. “Maybe I should go talk to him?”
    “Over my dead body,” Solomon roared.
    Imani started crying again.
    “Oh, Daddy’s sorry.” Solomon cooed, and kissed his baby’s forehead. Again, the tears stopped instantly. “You,” he said pointedly at his wife, “stay away from that jerk. Marcel and I will handle it. Hinton has another thing coming if he thinks this is just going to be another company he collects and plays puppet master.”
    “He’s actually a pretty good businessman,” Ophelia said, and then realized her mistake.
    “Are you defending him now?”
    “Of course not.” She tried to win him over with an innocent smile. “I’m just saying...”
    “What?”
    Noticing the hardening of her husband’s jaw, Ophelia recognized a lost cause when she saw it. “Nothing. You’re right. Jonas has definitely crossed the line on this.”
    Solomon didn’t respond. He just studied her as if he’d never seen her before.
    Ophelia continued to smile to get back in his good graces. “Anyway, Imani and I were
