ETHAN VAN RUSSELL-Bachelor's Party

Less than twenty-four hours before showtime. Was he nervous? Not at all. Why would he be?

"Can I go to the bachelor's party?" Ejay asked as he readied himself to leave the house for the night.

"Way too young, kid," Tony said to him.

"And so are you, kid," Ethan said to Tony.

"But I'm the best man, so it's all good. My boy Justin hooked it all up for me since you know, he's over twenty-one. It's down at the Ritz Hotel. We have the whole floor to par-tay!"

Ethan was going to overlook that his son was only eighteen and just go with the flow. He was not planning on doing anything to get him in trouble.

Who all was going to be at the party? He did not have friends like that. His brother Marty was there, but he never considered him a friend. William was there, and he could not stand the jerk. A few other executives from work, none he felt like partying with.

He never needed friends after his fallout with the Jackson brothers. Many years of just him depending on himself.

That's why the son he just met was his best man.

Justin Scoville was there, and just like his father Hunter, he was a suck-up.

Tony also invited Xavier there, another person he could care less about. He would keep an eye on the kid who thought he was good enough for his daughter.

There was a lot of drinking. Lots of music, but no one was dancing in the large hotel suite. There were bedrooms and he had no idea who was staying there the night. He wanted to be home and rested for his big day tomorrow.

He only sat and watched, sipping a beer. He would rather be with Donna.

As soon as the strippers came out, he started to make his exit. The music blared and there were strobe lights going and stripper poles. It looked like they were at a club.

"Dad, where are you going?" Tony pulled him back. "I've never seen real live strippers before. I brought a wad of cash."

"Son," Ethan turned to him. "Maybe you're not understanding. I'm marrying your mother tomorrow. The woman I have loved all my life. No other woman can do anything for me that she can't do. And I will not put myself in a position to make her anything less than happy."

Tony was taken aback by that. "Okay, I get it. I'm proud of you Dad."

"I'd be proud of you too if you leave as well. Your mother would kill me if she knew you were indulging in strippers."

"If you don't tell, I won't tell."

Ethan gave his son a fist bump and left the hotel suite. When he was young and wild, he would have enjoyed a stripper or two. Before his wedding to Sasha, at his bachelor's party, he had sex with two of the five gorgeous strippers that were there. After the rehearsal dinner, he fucked her maid of honor, which was her sister, in the back of the limo.

Hell, he fucked her several more times after that, that's why Sasha and her sister no longer got along. Rosario Monzon was just as gorgeous as Sasha. Those were the days.

Things were different this time around.

He stopped at the hotel bar to relax all alone. Tomorrow this time he would be on the jet with his new wife, to Rome, Italy. He could not wait.

For now, he was sleepy as hell and needed to crash.

DONNA JACKSON-D-Day

"Wake up sleepy head, it's your day!" she heard Veronique say to her, opening the curtains to let the light shine in.
