THE BEAUTY IS A BITCH

Cassie’s head reeled, Justin Gonzalez?
She couldn’t stand the man.
Justin represented all that Cassie hated most in people.
Blessed with money and looks he had used his good fortune in the worst possible way.

Whilst his Father, Emmanuel, Amanda’s dead husband, had been an incredible man, his son could not have been more different.

His parents, Emmanuel Gonzalez and Alice Cadogan where one of the sixties brightest glamour couples. Emmanuel, incredibly handsome and incredibly rich had married Hollywood’s most ethereal beauty and their union had hit the headlines all over the globe.
The reality was somewhat different, Emmanuel did all that he could to look after his wife as her career faltered and she descended into alcoholism and drug abuse.
After three children, Justin and his older twin sisters Pia and Pauline, Emmanuel finally proceeded to divorce after he caught her, yet again, in flagrante with one of the staff.

Amanda had walked away, head held high, the courts insisting that she take a paltry £20 million of her dead husbands £1.7 billion fortune.

Cassie had also seen Justin’s face when Amanda had been grated the money, she knew from Amanda that Justin had tried to bed her every time her saw her … she knew that at some point Justin would come to get what he thought was rightfully his.

As Cassie mused over this an email appeared in her in-box …. It was from her Grandmother in St. Lucia.

Cassie had always likened herself to this fabulous older woman, a huge character in her carribbean community, a huge character who indulged herself in the powers of magic and good voodoo.

Cassie opened her email, excitement written all over her face ……
