I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aww, guess who's back as a New Year's present to us?

Nikita fidgeted and adjusted her black Armani two-piece Italian suit that as expected created the impression of elegance, classiness and professionalism that the young widow wanted to communicate. Fashioned from a delicate crepe de chine, it brought forth the softness of the feminine form and the frilly peplum added the illusion of fun expected from a successful young woman. Her shiny blonde hair was tied in a chignon in the form of a figure eight at the top of her collar and her almost invisible pearl studs sitting prettily In her earlobes added to her youthful essence.

Her black satin Prada slingbacks with round toe and calfskin trim sported a 4 inch heel that made her even more statuesque that she already was. Her sheer stockings and her Prada clutch bag, all a gift from Adrian Jones, completed the package and sent a message of total confidence. To those watching her saunter quietly into the conference room, the woman looked positively stunning and to Michael Samuelle, who stood supporting his indignant wife Elena, Nikita looked absolutely good enough to eat. So once more the man regretted having been a gentleman while he spent time with the blonde in the past and wanted to pull out his Glock and shoot the beatch brunette that held his hand.

beatch? Is that like bi-yotch?

Michael stiffened and Elena drilled her beady dark eyes into his unflinching face as she dug her red gel-filled fingernails into the palm of his hand.

Ow.

It seems that the elder Vulkner had left everything, every single bit of his vast estate, every chance at fabulous wealth, to his progenitor son Helmut – Oh Oh! There was a very clear caveat that the will as it stood could not be contested and if it was, the person doing the contesting would be left out with nothing.

Oh! Oh! I'm so surprised at what I just wrote that I have to exclaim, even though I went on and on about the various wills and inheritances two chapters ago!

But the Jimmy Choo was yet to drop.

There the man, Nikita’s husband, without mentioning names in a short film, expressed the desire with the same caveat of no protestation, to leave everything in the hands of his wife. So every drop of wealth was not to be touched by the siblings that had made his life a living hell. There was a stipulation here also – Michael Samuelle, his sister’s husband or in the event of a divorce, the man’s choice had to be the executor of this estate also - Oh Oh indeed! Michael thought that Helmut must have known all along that he was S1, just as Michael knew that Helmut was MI5.

When Michael started to speak, Elena in a moment of righteous indignation slapped him once. Her misspent anger confusing the man and as she tried to slap him a second time Nikita entered the arena. This ended with Elena’s arm being twisted by an outraged Nikita, not because she had slapped Michael, but because she had beat her to it (LOL).

LOL indeed.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

There was a very clear caveat that the will as it stood could not be contested and if it was, the person doing the contesting would be left out with nothing.

That's a neat legal trick. P.S. this cannot be contested, nyah. I think the Bush administration has been doing something similar in re the Supreme Court.

Um, what's a 'progenitor son'?

Now, now, brenda, the author is a lawyer. I'm sure she must know what she's talking about.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Or brother? Or uncle?

Sometimes it's hard to believe this author's first language is English.

I think the author is a "lawyer" -- based on nothing more than the description of the legal proceedings. I don't think that even a legal secretary would be so far off in describing the reading of a will and its provisions.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Nikita fidgeted and adjusted her black Armani two-piece Italian suit

1. Armani suits are all Italian. A dude name of Giorgio Armani does not come from Mongolia, you know.

Fashioned from a delicate crepe de chine, it brought forth the softness of the feminine form

2. Has this person ever seen the tidy, quasi-masculine shape of an Armani suit?

and the frilly peplum

3. Obviously not.

her almost invisible pearl studs sitting prettily In her earlobes

4. Not that close to invisible.

And that's just the clothes critique!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

the frilly peplum added the illusion of fun expected from a successful young woman.

Wearing a frilly peplum may indicate that a woman is a professional, but probably not in the sort of profession the author has in mind...
