TONY JACKSON-Glamorous Life

The Van Russell jet was bananas. He could live in there. He could throw a nice party up in there. All the adults were sipping wine or other adult beverages, the younger ones had virgin drinks.

Elayne was trying to hang with the adults, sitting between his mother and father, asking for a sip of wine. Daphne sat with her glasses on and reading from her tablet. Ejay was plugged into a video game. Chrissy was texting Xavier he was sure.

His uncle Marty was on the phone discussing business and getting irate about it. His wife Jennifer was getting sloppy drunk as she was known for. His grandfather and Doreen were talking quietly. His mother had fallen asleep, and Ethan finally gave in and gave Elayne a sip of his wine.

"Uncle E, this is the good stuff," she said, taking another sip.

Ethan grabbed the glass.

"Stop, before your father kills me."

"As if he notices anything outside of work."

"Go back there with the kids Litte E. I'm going to take a nap with Donna."

Elayne got up with a sigh and headed toward him. The only empty seat was by him.

"This is cool, huh?" he said to her.

She let out a loud sigh, got up, pushed Ejay out of his seat, and sat in that spot.

"Hey!" Ejay said. He came over to sit by Tony. "What's her problem?"

Tony knew Elayne was still not over him. They barely talked to each other. If they were in a group, she might say something, but whenever they were alone, not a word. He still cared about her too, but what was the point of having feelings for someone when he could not be with them.

MARTY VAN RUSSELL-Vacation Life

After hours on the plane, he had time to finish up some business. He left things in good hands with William, but he knew he would be checking on work often, much to Jennifer's disapproval. She hated when he did business on vacation.

"This is going to be interesting, to say the least," Jennifer mumbled, putting on her designer sunglasses that nearly covered her whole face. She was looking toward Ethan cuddled up with Donna.

Interesting indeed. He liked the influence Donna was having on his little brother. He was being a better father and handling business better than ever. Win-Win for him, especially after he got rid of those Scoville properties that were killing them. They sold most to Jackson Properties, and the rest they gave back to Scoville in a compromise to help Hunter Scoville relaunch his company.

And this kid Tony, he had not spent much time with him, but Chrissy and Elayne got along well with him. Time would tell. Maybe this vacation is just what they all needed as a family. He would do his best to give them his attention.

"The boat looks great son," his father said once they made it to their yacht.

This was the second Van Russell yacht. His father upgraded five years ago to this one. The other his father had for twelve years.

"You're going to relax, right father? Take it easy on vacation."

"I should say the same for you. No work. No more," his father said.

Well, if his father insisted.

DONNA JACKSON-Lifestyle of the Rich & Fabulous

She did not want to grin from ear to ear, but she could not help it. The Van Russell yacht was giving her life. She walked around the spacious, mostly white boat like a kid at a toy store. Every room was large and immaculate.
