—Mabel— Tuesday evening came like a whirlwind. One moment I was in my office, staring at the paper Alec Rivera left in my hand—the next I was home adjusting my makeup before the vanity in my bedroom. The children were back from school and were currently observing siesta in their room. Done with my makeup, I did a 360 in front of the mirror. For the evening, I wore a stunning satin emerald-green gown, the bodice delicately embroidered with sequins, and the skirt flowing elegantly to the floor in a mermaid silhouette. Drop earrings coated with emeralds and diamonds, and a gold bracelet added the right touch of refinement. My hair was styled in a loose fishtail braid, and I finished the look with nude Jimmy Choo stilettos and a gold purse covered in metallic beads to match my earrings
