Wild and Wicked

Chapter Three: Cara’s Home

I graduated 1 year early from University. Jeff was excited to have me back. When I was doing my studies, we had our final assignment to decorate someone’s home, Jeff volunteered his place for me to do. I had flown to New York to get the measurements and photos for my final project which was 80% of my grade.

Jeff was the captain of the Oilers and been with them since he was 18, so 8 years. After I moved to Las Vegas he signed another 10 years with them so he decided to buy a house.

I had started my project and designed his whole house, it had been amazing to do and he was such an easy client to please. Jeff was into Art, sports, history and architecture. Decorating was easy, I had designed his kitchen into the best chef’s kitchen anyone could dream of, his “man” cave was state of the art and everything else was designed in sage, greys, whites, blacks and blues. His place looked amazing and I got 100% on the assignment.

Since I did my brothers pad, I was constantly in contact with other players, and clients my last 6 months of school and had already started to build my empire. So when I moved back to New York, Jeff had arranged for me to move into a condo downtown and I had already leased an office space with a receptionist.

At this point my career started before I finished university and to me that was a great start to my already fresh start.

With just getting home, Jeff wanted to throw me a graduation party, and he was adamant about it. I didn’t know who he would invite since I didn’t have many friends or family in New York. But that was okay, I was excited to let loose and enjoy my time.

Jeff did inform me that our mother got out of jail last year and had been trying to reach me but Jeff kept telling her I had moved away. He told our uncle Dean everything that had happened and I guess my uncle Dean disowned our mother. Couldn’t blame him! I didn’t want anything to do with my mother after what happened. Jeff told me that he would be inviting our uncle and I was excited to see him, it had been years since I saw him last.

Jeff was hosting this massive party on a huge yacht, I was not opposed to it. I was excited to see who would be attending. When I showed up I couldn’t believe my eyes, most of the guys I had designed for were there, some of Jeff’s friends, his girlfriend Anna, my uncle and some “future clients”. In the corner of my eye I saw movement and I turned and I swore I saw my mother and the man who had r***d me. I shook my head, I have to be seeing things, that cant be right!
