display. The two floor house was decorated in regal colors of red, navy blue and gold with large Oriental rugs. The lower and upper level boasted high, arched windows, with heavy drapes and each room was arranged in a distinct Victorian look. The Trenton’s were proud of their “empire” and wasted no time in showing off to the neighbors when each new piece of furniture was added, which was often.
Lionel’s gaze missing nothing but Valeria’s parents, Daisy and Bruce Trenton, could not seem to find the right words to converse with their unexpected guest. It turned out that no words were necessary, since Lionel did most of the talking. “Trenton man, listen to me. And you too Daisy, woman. I want your daughter to be my son’s future wife, and I will take no arguments to the contrary. Right now the child is still young, but soon she will graduate, attend college, and then she will be ready for the suitable place I have arranged for her.
Julian needs a woman who loves the finer things in life, and will keep him on his toes in the efforts to please her. He also needs the stability that a good job and legacy will give. This is no time for flighty headiness in a man. He needs to be solid, strong and have great character to carry on the Chambers legacy in Sunnyvale.
Years from now I expect our name to be standing as solid as the ground beneath our feet. For this purpose I have decided that your daughter is the one to bring my son to understanding. What say you about this?”
Daisy Trenton was a big, buxom woman whose clothing was forever bursting at the seams and her husband, Bruce was the exact opposite. As tall as a beanpole and just as slim. They were proud that their daughter Valeria had received all of the beauty that nature had denied them. And now another gift had fallen in her lap. The chance to be the wife of Julian Chambers, heir to the Chambers fortune and Templeton Manor. The opportunity was simply too good to pass up.
Daisy did not hesitate. With gushing praise she picked up her large figure and ran over to Lionel, falling upon his cheeks with a resounding kiss. “But my stars Mr. Chambers, of course we would love for our daughter to be joined to your wonderful household. Valeria is the crème of the crème and no man would ever say no to such a lovely debutante as she. Don’t you agree dear Brucey?”
Bruce Trenton unfolded his tall frame and walked over to Lionel with a glowing face. “But of course I agree dear one, and no doubt so does our daughter. Don’t you sneaky poos?”
Valeria’s smile could not be any brighter. With lowered lashes she walked over to Lionel with a trembling smile. Using every skill she possessed and then some, she raised her right hand said in a soft voice “Here I am Mr. Chambers ready and willing to serve your great family.”
It had taken only a few more minutes for Lionel to fill in the details and then Valeria’s future was set. Julian Chambers would be hers when the time was right….
And now the time had come. As Valeria’s thoughts returned to the present, she waited patiently for her prom date. Tonight was the night to say goodbye to Tommy Livingston. She only hoped he wouldn’t make a fuss. Discussions were so unattractive.

Julian looked in the mirror and adjusted his “Barcelona” style Tuxedo. It was an elegantly crafted tux made of wool with satin lapels. With a grimace he viewed his reflection and noted his foreboding look. His face was drawn in deep grooves and his green eyes lacked their customary wit. He did not feel like celebrating, but knew he had to attend the last school dance. Duty called and when duty called, the noblest family in the town had to respond. Besides it was his father’s wish. No doubt Lionel would be pleased to see his son finally make the steps towards manhood.
At the thought of his father, Julian’s hands curled into a fist. He did not want to be upset with the man who
