The Secret Liaison
By Jessie Marie
The Brent’s
Lavish parties were a custom in high society. They were a time for women to show off their new gowns and men of power to make deals all under the umbrella of Champaign flutes and crystal chandeliers. Waiters in Tuxedos smoothly worked the room ensuring that all of the guests had drinks. The eighteen piece big band delighted the crowd with sounds from the Jazz Age. It was a celebration; the occasion was a fundraiser for Justin Brent’s bid in the Senate race. People were falling over themselves to be a part of the Brent Political Dynasty. Justin’s father was Congressman Joshua Brent and his grandfather, rest his soul, was the beloved Speaker of The House Jordan Brent. You might say that patriotism ran deep in the Brent family. The historic John Marshall Ballroom was filled to capacity with a who’s who in the political world and a roster of superstars clamoring to pay $50,000 a plate to be a part of history. It was said when a Brent decides to run for office American flags everywhere fly a little higher; they were loved by all.
Justin was not the only Brent making headlines. His twin brother Austin decided that he would be better suited to run the family business; Brent Electrical. The latest Brent Electrical patent is the technology behind the electrical Car.
The company has always been on the cutting edge and five steps above the competition. With Austin running the company revenue was through the roof with $16.999 billion; earning Brent Electric a top spot on the Fortune 500. Last year profits were over thirteen million and counting. Between politics and business the Brent’s were golden.
Justin and Austin were 29 years old. They looked more like models than a politician and a CEO, standing 6’3 with a strong solid 200lb frame. Most women say their best features are their grey eyes and curly blond hair. They clearly took their looks from their mother, Julia Brent. She was the real back bone of the Brent Family. A statuesque blond with Hollywood glamour, there wasn’t a camera alive that didn’t love Julia and when they were young Julia never missed an opportunity to have the Brent twins in the limelight. She believed they single handedly captured the heart of America; and in turn votes for their father’s Congress run. The twins excelled in academics attending all the finest prep schools. They both were top of their class at Princeton, Austin graduating summa cum laude and Justin right behind him magna cum laude in business.
The original plan was for the twins to take over the family business from their aging uncle Barnacle Brent. He had been grooming them both since they were teenagers.
Their father, Congressman Brent, was a CEO in name only; he left all business decisions to his brother. Barnacle was unable to have any children of his own so his nephews were his legacy for the company that his father built. He was
