Chapter 58

• Monique Laverne looked out the huge picturesque window on the fourth floor of the high rise building that housed Monroe Enterprises. The moon had just made an appearance and she knew it was time to clean off her desk and get ready for the weekend. She had just come off a two week vacation and being Director of Finance, she had folders of contracts on her desk that her Assistant Director could not authorize. She had come a long way personally and professionally from being an escort to working legitimately for Lilly.
• About six years ago, when her boyfriend Marlon hurt her she ran away from him. Living on the streets of New Orleans was guaranteed to get you raped or killed. She was living on the streets until she met a tall beautiful blonde lady one night that changed her life forever.
• Monique would never would forget that night that the lady changed her life forever. The woman was dressed in a designer black ballgown and beautiful black pumps that glittered. Her demeanor screamed money, poise and something else Monique didn't actually recognize until later, compassion. Her blond hair was pinned up and her neck and ears were draped in diamonds. She had come outside to get a breath of fresh air as she turned and saw Monique.
