Marlena Christie and Edgar Allan 'Poe' Starkes have lived an exciting corporate couple lifestyle during ten months of reunion. They're jetting to LA Friday for a poolside celebration at Kelcie Montalco's, the Playmate-soap opera starlet who bought Eddie's script for her first big screen role.

Before LA trip, Eddie brings Marlena a 'redemption' novella, featuring 1-1 talk and Do Over promise from God, one that fixes previous personal sacrifices made for Terri. He has no idea about ex-boss Brickmann Greiner's brutal vengeance on Terri, but her kidnapping him is a massive shift in Universe's favoring of Marlena's plans.  
 
Post-party romancing, and a return-flight seduction as beach volleyball icon
 'The Platinum Fury,' Marlena's confidence in the Universe's favor is blasted by Terri Espinoza's call from Eddie's phone: "I'm sure his buddies will be bummed Eddie can't make it to the bachelor party," just hours after being dropped off in Charlotte.

An identical double for Montalco on her soap, Terri is a tough, highly sexual, results-focused antagonist. She believes in same karmic power of Tower card in tarot reading as Marlena did before re-entering Eddie's life. Beyond blackmail with a highly sexual video, "You guys stole artwork from fat cat friends, and it sounds like you killed and buried a guy named Rommel," is a real threat. 

In rallying Eddie's friends (The Nine), Marlena relies on local legend Rahim Maxwell, agent-best bud Davey Ollerstein, and advice from Silas Randson about making ransom counters 'more desirable than opposite number asks for.' Montalco accepts the risk of violent negatives in a showdown with Greiner's goons, and delivering a terror-stricken performance to sell a double cross comes from a deep belief in paying karmic debts.
  
"Poe," Marlena explains post-rehearsal, "A wedding I've wanted for ten years is Saturday, but I'll want a LOT more mansplaining of your one-on-one with God when we're on island time."

"I've been a fool, Clover. Such a damn fool. I thought I could bury my feelings for you, pretend they didn't exist, but I was wrong. So damn wrong." He takes another deep breath, feeling the lump in his throat grow larger. "I've tried to deny it, to push it down and ignore it, but it just keeps coming back. Stronger and stronger until I can't ignore it anymore. I'm in love with you, Clover. So damn in love with you." His voice is thick with emotion, tears threatening to spill down his face. "I don't know how it happened, or when it happened, but it did. And I tried to fight it, I tried to convince myself that I didn't love you, but I was lying. To myself, and to you." He looks at her unconscious form, imagining her sparkling eyes and warm smile. "I miss you so much, Clover. I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face, feeling your touch. I miss fighting with you, making up with you, just being with you... I never realized how lonely I was before you came into my life. How empty and meaningless my days were.

"That's it, baby," he continues, his tone almost soothing, despite the filth spilling from his lips. "Take my cock. Take all of it." Baby. My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut. And you're going to come for me again, aren't you?" *** MORALLY GREY meets GREY'S ANATOMY meets FIFTY SHADES OF GREY... 24-year-old Ramona Lisa Gallo seems to finally be back on track to a normal life...while cruising the financial struggle bus.

"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore.

- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly.
