Jake:
Jake Kane couldn't claim this was the first time he knew he would hate himself. Hell, he couldn't even claim it was the first time he was about to cheat on his wife in the seedy Camelot Motel. But at least this time it wouldn't be with a married woman who had left him wondering for close to twenty years as to if he had fathered another daughter.
Veronica hadn't been his daughter, thank god, but she had dated his son and sided against him in thinking he had murdered his own daughter. He had hoped she would be out of his life forever after the Walter Harvey incident and he knew she could have been had he given Clarence the go ahead to kill her. But even he couldn't be that cold despite the history he'd had with all of the Marses. When he had given her that ultimatum and she had sided with her actual father and taken his word as gospel that he had killed Lilly it had stung and in fact it still hurt him to think she had thought so little of him.
Now here he was, faced with this gorgeous, petite blond with big blue eyes who, in truth, could pass for Veronica's twin sister. Was she? Had that been another thing Lianne had failed to mention over the years? He doubted it, but given that he was once again back in Neptune, he knew anything was possible.
Elle had always enjoyed the company of attractive older men. Given that this man was at least six feet tall, slimmer than she had expected (really, that suit - despite its price tag - had done him few favors) and despite his short, gray hair he still looked ten years younger than he was, he certainly fit the bill. She guessed she had Bennet and Thompson to thank for her attraction towards older men. All those years back at The Company, seeing the both of them always around, envying Candace where Thompson was concerned and knowing she would be nothing more to Bennet than a substitute for his precious Claire had clearly done something to her.
This guy said his name was Jack, but Elle had been in town long enough to know who he was and that he was one of the big players of Neptune. She kept quiet about it though, not wanting to lose out on the cash she was about to get.
Jake kissed her without a word but he called her Veronica when he touched her. She almost expected him to want her to call him Daddy after that but she was a little relieved when he only repeated the name Veronica. Nearly every man she met with called her a different name, that much didn't bother her. All that mattered was that he seemed like a decent guy (not making her use her power on him qualified as 'decent' for her) and was certainly more than decent between the sheets. And, of course, that when all was said and done she had a wad of cash in her hand to decide tonight had most definitely been worth the trip to the Camelot.
Jake could only hope that this would purge Veronica from his system once and for all, even if until today he hadn't realized even part of him had wanted her, he was just that desperate to be rid of her. No more thoughts of the daughter who wasn't his, no more fears of the girl out to destroy him. Lianne was gone, Veronica supposedly was herself in her own way and now the girl he had called Veronica more than once had gone all but skipping out of his motel room.
