... romance, you're already married!" Shannon broke down in tears but her mum didn't let up, "You're swanning around like God's gift, no wonder you didn't come home; leaving Scott to look after your own daughter, I don't know who you are. And when your husband calls to find out what is happening you put him on hold and then dismiss his concerns." Just then they heard the apartment door opening and a male voice call out," I am home Mon Cheri." Claude turned the corner to find Shannon and her mother staring at him. He recovered quickly, taking and kissing the back of Maureen's hand. "You must be Shannon's mother, I can see the apple didn't fall far from the tree, you are very beautiful." The sound of the slap across Claude's face echoed around the large apartment, "Don't start with that crap with me, my daughter might be an idiot but I assure you I am not!" Claude held his cheek in shock, his eyes watering. "Please tell me you're not going to cry! How pathetic and how dare you seduce a married woman." Claude tried to recover, "It was not planned, it was a true romance, we can't defy the fates." "Bullshit! It was very planned and either of you could have stopped it, you aren't brainless morons, well she might be. You do realise she has a daughter, my grand daughter that she will lose." "I won't lose her mum." "Really, if your own mother knows Scott is a better parent I can't see a family court seeing it any differently, you have all but abandoned ...

"Wake up Shannon, Scott is talking about divorce, you have disregarded the man and abandoned your child; if he finds out for sure you have had an affair you are finished." Claude tried to support Shannon's stance, "This is a brief romantic interlude, I never intended to harm Shannon's marriage." "No you just intended to get your leg over and succeeded because it appears my daughter is a tramp, Tell me something are you going to step up, marry her, look after her daughter." Silence. "No I didn't think so, a divorced mum wouldn't be the right fit for the image and family would it?" Claude shifted uneasily, "Shannon I will leave and allow you some time to sort this out with your mother, its obvious you need to discuss things." With that Claude left. "He's a coward as well, running off and leaving you. Why did you do it Shannon?" "I know its wrong mum, but he is so different, the confidence and looks and he was interested in me. Then the money, prestige, gifts and power it's all so intoxicating. My other life seemed diminished in comparison and my attention became focused on Claude. I still love Scott and I can partition this part of my life." "You need to get your arse home and talk to Scott." "I can't, we have a big launch event in Cannes this week." "Still putting your lover first, get a grip Shannon, you're going to lose your family ...
