Chapter 1

Aubrey was glad to be in Hawaii even if it was with her parents and two older siblings with their girl and boy friends. She of course had neither at the moment and hadn't had one for quite some time. Her sole focus had been getting the Bellas back to the finals and getting into Barden's Law School. She now had her pre-law degree and would be starting law school in the fall and she graduated with a first time ever Bellas win at the ICCA Championships under her belt. The year had been rough, but it had ended well and when she had finally relaxed she had made some good friends in the younger women who had joined the Bellas. The blonde was glad she would be staying close to her new friends for the next few years and knew they would be doing great under their new Bellas captain. Aubrey was also grateful that Chloe was accepted to Barden's Medical School. Barden was one of the top Ivy League Universities in the country now and their law and medical programs were hard to get into.

The blonde sighed as her parents and siblings exited the elevator before her. She and her family may be spending the summer in Hawaii, but not totally for pleasure. Her Father Randall Posen was determined to be one of the investors in a new project that Mariella Mancini was putting together. The elder woman was one of the richest people in the world and from what her father said about the woman and from what she had heard of the Mancini family in general, was that anything they touched turned to pure gold. Her father was wealthy, but not on the scale of the Mancini family. The Posen's were worth around 200 million which was nothing to sneeze at, however the Mancini's were billionaire's many times over. Like in the top wealthiest families on the planet. Today was a big meeting where Mancini's team would present their latest project and Randall Posen considered it a major deal that he had wrangled an invite. The five members of the Posen family moved down the corridor towards double doors that other groups of people in business attire were entering. A tall elegant woman with long white blonde hair braided down her back in a wine colored business suit stood greeting people.

"That's her, Mariella Mancini. They also call her 'The Mancini'." Randall informed his family as they moved closer to the smiling woman.

Randall eagerly greeted Mrs. Mancini and introduced his family. "They all work with me at Posen Enterprises except my youngest daughter, Aubrey. She just graduated college in pre-law and starts law school in the fall. We're all enjoying a nice family vacation together. I suspect it will be one of the last ones we enjoy like this before the kids start creating families of their own."

"It is nice to meet you all. It is good to see a family stay close even as the children mature. My daughter Sophia and I are still close, but she has no interest in our family's business ventures or becoming the next one to be known as 'The Mancini'. She is a world renowned painter and sculptor though and has made her mark on the world in that way. Honestly I don't mind her taking her own path. She is a brilliant woman and intelligent, but has no head for business. Now my granddaughter she is the next 'Mancini'. That girl has been sitting in on meetings with me since she was 5 and is one of the smartest people I have ever met. She could have started college very early, but we broadened her education in other ways in her younger years and made sure she had the opportunity to be a kid. We didn't want her to grow up to fast, yet she still started college a year early, a short few weeks after she turned 17. Mia Bella just finished her freshman year of college. She is talented in many things business being one of them, but also has some of her mother's creative bones in her for she is very musically gifted." You could see the love and pride the woman had for her granddaughter shining in her eyes and on her face as she spoke in her light Italian accent.

"It sounds like she is an incredible young woman. Is she going to be in the meeting today?" Randall's wife, Gloria inquired.

"She is. She has actually been heading up this project even while going to school and being involved in other school activities. I swear sometimes I feel like putting a brick on her head to keep her from growing up too fast, but she can be very laidback when she wants to be. It helps that she goes to school under her father's sir name instead of her true sir name. It keeps people from expecting things from her all the time and lets her just be herself while at school, although she doesn't always see eye to eye with her father." The elder woman smirked as she thought of how much her granddaughter disliked the man. Mariella wasn't sure why she confided such information, but the youngest daughter seemed very familiar to her as if she should know her.

The Posen's saw the woman glance down at her top of the line watch. "Almost time to begin." The Mancini's eyes gazed down the hall as the elevator opened once again allowing more business people to pore out onto the floor. "I better let you find a seat." She leaned in dropping her voice. "Don't sit in the lower half of the auditorium the best seats are the ones about halfway up if you can get them." Mariella winked before turning to greet the next groups.

The Posens' moved into the auditorium that looked very much like one of Aubrey's large lecture classrooms with the staggered theatre seating arranged in a half circle from down near the presentation area up to the back of the room. Randall found them seats directly in the middle as Mrs. Mancini had suggested. "I think she liked us." Gloria said as she sat looking around. They could hear many different languages being spoken around the room and could see just exactly how exclusive the attendees were.

The lights flashed letting everyone know it was time to take their seats. They watched as Mariella Mancini took her place at the front of the hall. Once everyone was seated the tall woman stepped center stage welcoming everyone, also giving them a brief overview of what they were all gathered there for. "Now I will turn this over to the mastermind and driving force behind this project. I have every confidence in her as I am sure you all soon will. My granddaughter, Signorina Rebeca Mancini."

"She's hot." Aubrey's brother Kevin whispered as a short dark haired young woman stepped forward wearing a stylishly tailored grey business suit with straight pant legs and high heels that made her look taller than she actually was. A hint of a bright blue blouse shown beneath the jacket. Her hair was swept up off of her face in an elegant twist with naturally done make-up and little jewelry. The woman was beautiful and Aubrey was stunned speechless as the person she knew as alt-girl Beca Mitchell took over the room. Her presentation and was incredible. It was detailed and informative, but in no way boring. Beca held everyone in the palm of her hand and when it was time answered questions fully and concisely. The small dark haired woman even spoke fluently in several languages which came in handy when some of those present had questions that they could not easily ask in English. Aubrey could tell that the project was going to have plenty of investors and would also make everyone in the room who invested wealthier.

The blonde woman sat totally amazed and awed by the young woman that she realized she really didn't know at all. If Aubrey would have seen this side of Beca at the beginning of her senior year, she would have never given Chloe such a hard time about letting her on the team or fought against Beca's ideas quite so much. Aubrey could see how excited her family was to be asked to invest in the project and how impressed they were of Signorina Rebeca Mancini. They were all discussing the project with those around them, many had taken their information packets and were slowly heading out the door after they spoke with one of the Mancini women or a member of their project team. The Posens were among the last to leave the room as they wanted to speak to the Mancini women themselves instead of a member of their team.

"A pleasure to meet you Signorina Mancini. Your grandmother spoke very highly of you earlier and I can see she had a very good reason. I am impressed with you and your project. You can count on our investment." Randal Posen said as he shook the small young woman's hand.

"Thank you, sir. I am sure you will not be disappointed in your investment. The last few projects I have headed have made great returns." The younger Mancini smiled charmingly.

"Dear these are the Posens. I met them when they arrived earlier." Mariella waved to the whole group. "Randall Posen, his wife Gloria, their eldest daughter Danielle, their son Kevin." She paused before indicating their youngest daughter who had not been visible as she stood behind her father's broad form.

The small woman smiled mischievously up at her grandmother. "I know Aubrey. We're friends. We were in The Bellas together at college. I know I told you about her and the other girls when you watched the video of our final performance."

"Oh yes, now I remember. I knew she looked familiar to me when I met her and her family earlier." She looked at Aubrey. "You did very well up there on stage and congratulations to you too on the win. It was so wonderful that you girls became the first all-girl group to win that competition."

"Thank you, Ma'am. We couldn't have won it without Beca. She came up with that winning set-list." The blonde squirmed when she felt her father's eyes upon her.

"It is good to see you Aubrey. Are you going to be on the island for long?" Beca hoped she was. It would be nice to hang out in a more relaxed manner with the woman she was just starting to get to know when school ended.

"It's good seeing you too, Beca. We're here for most of the summer."

"Excellent, we'll have to hang out sometime. That is if you want to and your parents don't mind." The younger woman didn't want to force the blonde to hang out with her. Aubrey hadn't always liked her.

"That sounds like fun actually." The blonde was intrigued by the new part of Beca she was learning about. Honestly she had already been intrigued despite herself, but now it was so much more.

"We wouldn't mind at all if the two of you hangout. I am sure our girl would like to run around with a friend instead of her family all the time." Gloria beamed, liking that her daughter had such an influential friend.

"Why don't we all get together for dinner tonight? A private table is always ready for us at Ocean House. Would you be interested?" Mariella turned to the elder Posens.

"That sounds excellent. Kevin and Danielle have their girlfriend and boyfriend with them, would they be able to join us?" Randall was excited about the invite.

"That would be fine. My husbands will be joining us as well so we will have a full party." Mrs. Mancini always liked when people found out that it was really true that the direct Mancini bloodline always had more than one soulmate. She was sure that someone that night would want to hear the story behind it. They always did.

"Wonderful. We look forward to meeting them." Gloria had always wondered if the two spouse rumors were fact or fiction.

Beca saw one of her team members frantically hailing her. It looked like he needed some help dealing with some of their Asian investors. "I hate to have to run, but duty calls. It was really nice meeting all of you." She stepped closer pulling Aubrey into a hug, surprising the taller woman a bit. "It was good seeing you Blondie. Please call or text me anytime, unless you've already deleted my number from your phone." The smaller girl quirked an eyebrow in question.

"No, I still have your number pint size." Aubrey teased, causing Beca to laugh.

"Good to know Stretch, now don't be shy. I'll see you all tonight." She squeezed the blonde's hand before walking off to speak with the last few remaining investors.

They heard Beca speaking what sounded like Japanese as she performed a more formal greeting to the elder men who were interested in the project. Aubrey still wondered exactly who her friend really was and couldn't believe that she had such good gossip to share with Chloe and couldn't reach her because the redhead was mostly out of communication because her and her mother were currently in Africa volunteering in some medical programs and phone and internet were very spotty and not very secure. She would just have to save it all up to share when the Beale family joined them in a few weeks.

"We will let you get back to business as well Mrs. Mancini and see you tonight." Randall handed the powerful woman his card. "Call or text me when you know the time we should meet."

"I am thinking 7:30, but will let you know for sure soon. Again it was lovely to meet you all and I hope you have a lovely afternoon." Mariella shook their hands before they left and she helped her granddaughter and her team wrap-up with the rest of the stragglers. She had seen the way her granddaughter had looked at the pretty blonde and remembered all the stories she had heard about how she and Aubrey had butted heads for most of the year, but had become pretty good friends once they began working together. The elder woman also heard that Aubrey's father was very hard on the young blonde to the point that the girl had a very unfortunate problem with stress. The tall white haired lady had a feeling that Aubrey was a delightful woman and would be much more easygoing if her father would relax. Beca had mentioned something to that affect. Beca and Aubrey together would be something to keep an eye on.
