Enough was Never Enough: A Novella
by Michelle Morgan Spady
by Michelle Morgan Spady
Evelynn “Jade” Baxter, author and successful businesswoman, commands a crowd of young, urban, up-and-coming women. Jade's followers believe she is the epitome of success, but what they don’t know is Jade is haunted by her past. Despite her success, more than anything Jade wants to forget her painful past. Unfortunately for Jade, someone very close has no intentions of letting her forget her not so illustrious beginning.
When her twin sister, Lynn Baxter, decides to expose Jade's past to her followers, she sets off an emotional roller coaster in Jade's life, as well as her own. To make matters worse, Lynn's cruelty could cause Jade to lose the man she loves.
EXCERPT: INNONCENCE TAKEN, STRENGTH GIVEN
Look at her, there she goes again. Always dressed to the nines, make that to the tens. It’s rare that you’ll find anything wrong with her, no one does. It’s her self-confidence and the way she just shows up. She enters a room with that big smile, head up, back straight and one long leg before the other. Even the right shade of panty hose. You can’t help but notice them as the bellman opens the door of that bright red, shiny, 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, and she swings those legs out, tightly closed so that you never see what’s between them, or has been. Only those who’ve been there can testify to that, and boy would they have a story to tell. If thighs could talk.
That car is
worth over $800,000, add a few options and you’re way over $900,000.
True testament to what she’s pulling in nowadays for a salary. Her black
six inch Jimmy Choo heels slowly hit the street, like a RG III pass to
Desean Jackson or Pierre Garcon. Every strand of hair in place. No weave
for her. Her salon attendant can attest to that. Why? Because she sees
her once a week, and even more if she’s making an appearance that day.
Like today, she had made a stop in her salon right before this
appearance.
It’s
obvious her favorite color must be red because the color is represented
from her car to the soles of her Jimmy Choo shoes. Today it is the slim
pencil black skirt and crisp white long sleeved blouse. Sleeves and
collar turned up. Blouse tailored to fit her perfect size eight top,
just as the skirt hugs her 24 inch waist and 34 inch bottom. Even the
jewelry is carefully selected. Never too much to let the public know how
really well she is doing, but just enough to make the statement that
she wants for nothing. Chanel earrings, Michael Kors necklace, Rolex
watch; not much, but just enough to speak volumes about who
Evelynn “Jade” Baxter
really is. The public knows, author, entrepreneur, sought after public
speaker, twin sister of Lynn
Baxter. Noted for her affiliations in various elite women’s
organizations, explained why her Google Plus calendar was always maxed
out for time. She wore so many hats, that it was very easy for her to
pick one for the day, and toss it aside for another in a matter of
minutes.
Today she was Jade Baxter, author. Scheduled to speak before a crowd of hungry, aspiring young women all wanting to be like Jade. She was known as Evelyn only around family, and even that was shortened to Eve when she was on good terms with everyone, which was rare.
“Welcome, Ms. Baxter! May I help you with something today?” The bellman extends his hand as she begins to push a button to turn everything off in that automobile of intelligent technology before she exits. Before she made her decision on the car, she did her research to see what other famous person was driving one. She had heard that actor, Jerry Seinfeld was among the first to accept delivery in America on a 918 Spyder. It impressed her to read somewhere that tennis ace, Maria Sharapova, was a noted Porsche ambassador, and known to favor the 918. She reads up on stats like these before she indulges in any materialistic object. Her name is among the rich and famous at the age of thirty-six. And in a town this small, it’s not hard to stick out and be noticed for anything that you do, be it good or bad.
“Sure, Jeffrey, thanks, and it’s great to be back! Gorgeous Spring day isn’t it?”
