Harrison walked back over to the two people who were laughing at something.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"I was telling Ariel about the time we went skiing and because I beat you in a down hill race you had to kiss the next person that came in the lodge. That was a yellow lab. The dog got your face all wet with one lick." Ariel and him were laughing.
"Yah, then you spent the rest of the trip locked in a room because you did not let me win." Harrison said.
"Well it was worth it. Who was on the Phone Dad?" he asked.
"How did you know?" Harrison said.
"You get moody after talking to him." Marcus said.
"He will be coming back in a few weeks for the big board meeting."
"I'll be back in Harborview so I don't care." Marcus said.
Ariel could feel the tension now between the brothers.
"Sorry but I can't let you do that. I can't have you at the company anymore."
"I see, Like the choice I had with Kimberly, I can keep my job if I give up Ariel?"
"It has nothing to do with Ariel. Dad does not want you in the family business anymore."
"Ariel, the doctor will be here soon lets go back. Harrison please have my things sent to my apartment in Harborview. It is my place. Please do not contact me anymore."
He pushed Ariel back to her room then broke down.
"When can we head back?" she asked.
"You want to stay with a loser like me?" he said.
"Yes, because you stay with a loser like me." she smiled at him
The Doctor needed to get back to Harborview also so he released her to fly back immediately and come see him in a few days.
Marcus drove her back to Harrison's home to get her things.
"Ariel, your home." Lily said running into her arms.
"Lily, I have to go home today. I only came to get my things and say goodbye. I can't stay here."
Lily started to cry. Harrison stood in the livingroom watching, his heart was breaking.
Ariel pulled out a seashell crown and put it on Lily's head. "This is for you. Remember if you need to talk you can call me any time. If I don't answer I will call you back I promise."
"Ok, will you cone visit me again?" Lily asked.
"I can't promise this but I will see."
Lily followed her up and watched her pack. Marcus stayed in the car. He had already contacted a few companies and would talk to them about a new job. He was good at what he did.
As Lily came down the stairs Harrison took her bag. "Are you alright to travel?" he asked.
"Yes, I see the doctor as soon as we are back. Take care of Lily." She said.
"Take care of my brother." he helped her out to the car.
"Marcus, I'm sorry." Harrison said.
"Mr. McKenna, if I believe that, then I am the stupid one. Tell Lily goodbye."
He then watched them both drive away.
As they waited at the airport Marcus got a call.
"What do you want?" he said.
"Is that anyway to talk to your father?"
"I don't have a father or a family. So I ask again what do you want."
"Give up the girl. You are not worthy of her. You have been a disappointment since the day you were born."
"Ok," He handed the phone to Ariel.
"Hello?" she said.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
"Ariel Thomas. I am Marcus's girlfriend."
Marcus was shocked at what she said. His heartache was now filled with love.
"Miss Thomas, Marcus will never amount to anything with out family help. I suggest you take a look at Harrison. He is smart and handsome. Every girls dream. I also understand our granddaughter likes you very much. Give up the black sheep."
"Mr. McKenna, I can not do that. Marcus stood by me when Harrison was bullying me. I like Lily very much but I do not want to be her mother. Marcus is more of a man then Harrison or you could ever be. He stands by those that he believes in." She then hung up the phone.
The phone rang a few times but Marcus just ignored the call while holding Ariel's hand.
"Are you my girlfriend?" he asked as they sat in first class.
"I said I was and I don't lie about important things like that." She smiled.
He then pulled her over for a hug and kissed her. The trip did not take long and both were glad to be back home.
Bob King, Virginia's brother had just opened the information found out about his sisters death.
He then went to his fathers wearhouse to hear it in person.
When he walked in he was met by some of his fathers men. "We have him down here?"
"Johnny two fingers. I let you sell what ever you want in my fathers city and you betray our family."
"No, I didn't." he said. He had been beaten black and blue.
"Tell me, who is responsible for my baby sister's death." he said holding his cheeks.
"It was not me. It was the owners of the aquarium park. Your sister poisoned a girl and they took revenge." he said.
"Who told them my sister poisoned her?" Bob asked.
"The flower shop guy. The PI tracked him down first after looking at a video. He then found me and threaten me. I almost did not get away. They blamed me for giving your sister the drug."
"Thanks for the info." He then pulled out a gun and shot him right between the eyes.
"Clean this up and get rid of the flower shop owner. Make it look like an accident. Then get me the info on everyone he talked about." Bob said as he walked out.
His father did not care what really happened to Virginia and tried to just sweep it under the rug. But he could not.
