Confessions of an Heiress

Chapter 25 - Coke and a Smile

Oh I don't know. Take your pick. Everyone with the name McCarthy. My husband. Anyone who tries to have more than a passing conversation with me.

You're not hiding from them.

Yeah. I think I am. Robi hired McCarthy McCatering and some stupid story about me will now probably ruin my marriage. Robi just ignored me and Izzy told me she saw him crying and I don't know why. Meanwhile I have a house full of guests and I'm supposed to pretend everything is fine. Childbirth was less painful than this.

That's not who you're hiding from.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it is. The McCarthy's are the last people I want to see right now.

You're hiding from yourself Caliopie.

Umm, Uncle Galileo, Plato says "Wherever you go, there you are."

And he's right. There you are. So why are you trying to hide?

I don't follow.

You shouldn't have to. Knowing who you are is something at your core. You're under a lot of pressure Caliopie, and you didn't ask for it. You were born into all of this. I'm not surprised you find it a struggle.

You're the first person in this family who's ever said that to me. Thank you. Sometimes I wondered what would have happened if I'd just stayed with Berjes and never called Burke Marquette back. Maybe this whole Heiress thing would have never happened....

Berjes? Was that your stripper boyfriend from college?

Nudist.

Do you ever wonder - if you married the right person?

Sure. Doesn't everyone?

I don't.

Wait, weren't you married to someone else before Aunt Demi?

She died honey. Your Great Grandma Magna killed her with the dishwasher. I don't like to talk about it.

So if Demi is the right person - was that other lady the wrong person?

No. Marissa was not the wrong person either.

So what you're saying is that there can be more than one person who is right for you?

No. That's not what I'm saying.

Even if it might be true.

Do you want advice or not young lady?

It depends. Is it going to get me out of this mess I'm in?

Only you can get you out of this mess. I can only say this. What kind of Legacy do you want to leave to your son?

Oh.

Does George have your best interests at heart?

Well we've always been friends...

No. You've never been friends. But you've always been hot for each other. Your friend would not try to break up your marriage

It's not like that. He wasn't....

If you think making excuses for him is going to get you out of this, then go ahead. But I think making excuses is what got you into this in the first place, so I doubt it's going to get you out.

But what about Robi? I don't want him to get hurt. I just want things to go back the way they were.

Well then I think you better tell him that.

But what if? Izzy said she saw him crying, and then he was talking to Nicole...

Caliopie. It's ok to be a little broken. Just talk to him. He needs you to stop pretending.
