Terrence Logan leaned against the wall lazily twirling a glass of champagne in his hand. His hazel colored eyes glazed around the hall with a bored look before coming to rest on his baby sister.

Today was the day the little brat was finally getting off his hands and becoming another man’s problem. He looked at his sister with love in eyes as he realized that his little sister had finally grown up. He had looked after her right from when she was a little girl as both of their parent s had passed away in an unfortunate hit and run car accident. He had made her the woman she had become today, catering to her every whim. He was pretty sure he had spoilt her along the way but that didn’t matter to him as his sister deserved nothing but the best in his opinion.

It wasn’t the least bit surprising that the relationship which he shared with her had gone far beyond the relationship between that of a brother and sister to that parent of child. He really hoped that her husband to be treated with the proper respect that she was due or he would answer to him. Nobody ever dared to mess with Terrence Logan and went on to tell the tale after all that was akin to both social and financial suicide.

Terrence snapped out of his reverie when he realized that Claire Waldourf was walking towards his direction. Terrence had never really cared much for Claire as he thought that there was supposed to much more to a woman than her latest designer bag collection and how many high society parties she could throw though he would have to admit that she was fantastic in bed which was why he still kept around. He wondered if his little sister had lost a few screws in her head to have possibly invited her to the wedding. If this was what she had meant as a present then he was definitely not pleased. He would definitely be having a talk with her after this.

On reaching Terrence, Claire moved closer to Terrence and smiled alluringly “Darling.” She purred “It has been quite a while hasn’t it?”

“Yes it has and that would be on purpose.” Terrence replied, muttering the second part of the sentence under his breath.

“Darling…how about we go back to your place after this?” Claire said with a suggestive look in her eyes.

Terrence gave a low dark laugh at Claire’s blatant suggestions. He knew that Claire as well as the hundreds of women in that room wanted him for one thing and one thing alone which was his money. It was no surprise though as he was the owner of one of the most successful business company in the nation; the alpha franchise which had branches in every industry; airlines, electronics, shipping, manufacturing of food products, wholesale and retail…you name it and you could best be assured that he had ventured in that industry. He had built the company up from the ground up with only sheer determination as his only backer. He was truly the American success story.

“I think that would be a terrible idea Claire”

“And why is that? Don’t you remember all the fun times that we had together darling?” Claire said as she slowly snaked her hand up Terrence’s chest one finger at a time.

“I think those memories should be best left alone, wouldn’t you agree Claire?”

“Poo, you are no fun when you are like this” Claire as she pouted her brightly painted red lips in annoyance.

“That I am.” Terrence said as he lifted Blaire’s hand off his chest. “Now, if you will excuse me…I believe I have a few things that I’d like to discuss with my sister.” Terrence said as he made eye contact with his little sister.

He was sure he something along the lines of ‘smug bastard’ leave Claire’s mouth but that did nothing except making him smirk.

Jenny his younger sister caught sight of the annoyed look on her brother’s face and tried to make a run for it for it when he grabbed her hand.

“And where do you think you are going young lady?” Terrence asked his younger sister before pulling her to stand in front of him.

“To continue on with my wedding I believe. Oh I can see my husband waving over to me. So uhm if you wouldn’t mind?” jenny said gesturing to her arm that was being held.

“Why should I let you go after all the trouble that stunt you pulled earlier. Answer me honestly was that truly your idea of giving me a present?” Terrence asked.

“Oh you mean Claire?” jenny said with a laugh.

“Yes Claire, what the hell is she even doing here and how did she get an invite?” Terrence whisper yelled at his only sibling.

“Jeez, calm down big bro. the only reason why I ever invited her was because she had cornered me at Mrs. Walsher’s house warming party last Friday and you know just as well as I do that there is just no refusing that woman. Besides I thought it would be an interesting way to pay you back for you bailing on me at the last minute during the practice wedding dinner rehearsal. I can’t believe that she actually came though. What did she say to you” jenny said as she laughed at the sour expression on her brother’s face.

“ That’s not any of your business. Just be rest assured that-“ Terrence said before trailing off completely lost.

“ I should be rest assured about what?” Jenny asked her brother when she realized that there were no further responses from him.

“Hello? Earth to Terrence?” Jenny followed her brother’s line of sight to see one of the most beautiful women that she had seen in her life

Jenny looked back at her brother and realized that he still had his attention on the said woman and gave a little chuckle under her breath before gently slipping away completely unnoticed.
