The Time of Our Lives.

The Miltons

It was always seemed pleasant at Milton's residence. It was a white polished marble house in the outskirts of Manhattan. There lives Richard Milton who is a wealthy businessman on Wall Street and is the reigning playboy King. This title became the demise of his former marriage to Susan Lingley. Richard and Susan had an extraordinary marriage when it first started and together created 4 beautiful children: Barbra, David, Jonathan, and Agnes. Richard and Susan Milton were the power couple that everybody envied. They had it all: glamour, sophistication, class, brains, and kindness. But through the years, those same adored qualities became sour. Susan became so filled with vanity that it consumed her duties as a wife and as a mother. Richard got tired of her egotism that he became what he never thought he would be: a playboy King. Richard starts to have affairs with all kinds of woman (most were younger than him). It became a regular thing to have women being escorted secretly to their homes. Sometimes Richard made it so obvious of his affairs that even little David caught a peek. The kids were always under the care of the nanny because Richard and Susan were never home. The kids had to suffer through frequent arguments and yelling through their white wooden doors. At one point, Susan and Richard couldn't take it anymore so they ask for a divorce with the reason being irreconcilable differences. The minute the divorce was finalized, Susan packed her bags and bought herself an estate in Paris. The kids rarely heard from her while Richard suffered greatly through the divorce. The stress of the past few years and the divorce caused Richard to open up his eyes and finally settled down once more. He became overprotective of the kids especially of the girls. Richard wanted his kids to have successful careers and marriages filled with love and respect. Years later after all the kids have became grown ups, Richard Milton sold his white marble house and opened up a business on Wall Street. Richard became a recluse from the charms of love and decided it be best to stay single for a while. Even through the years, he always managed to stay close to his buddy Irving Lauschfueld and coincidently Irving had a son named George who is around the same age as Barbra. Richard wanted the best for his kids so he thought it would be best to marry Barbra and George since he knows that George's family will take care of his little girl. Richard had already became so angry with Barbra for choosing a career that wasn't suited for a Milton: an actress. Barbra was always the golden girl of Richard's life and always believed that Barbra deserved the world. And the world was what Richard wanted to give her; however he became so filled of what his own expectations are that he became blind to what his children wanted.
