I was wondering when we were going to hear more about Lou. I know when Greg told Marcel that him and Robbie were more like his son's and Brad was like Stef's son. Nothing was mentioned about Lou. Toward the end of the last book it was mentioned that he had moved out and was the latest new popular top the S. Cal area or something like that.

Great start to book 6. Thanks Mark!

It's assholes like you that stop people from reading comments after reading these chapters. I know you wrote this back 9 1/2 years ago. But you are still spoiling the story for people reading it as long as this site stays up. I hope you are not doing it on stories that have been posted recently. Not very cool at all!

So is this the 4th or 5th kid in this series that has been found by just being in the right place at the right time to be found as a relative of this family? Or that has shown up like Stef? The stars must be aligned over all their heads!

I would rather Brad to choose and be with Max over Robbie and them two be together till they die.

That is what I figure is going on with Robbie and Neil!

I have the feeling that Neil found out for sure that Robbie wasn't a goldmine like he had thought. And that he had fucked up with his call to Brad. With him being blackballed from any of the properties when Brad was going to be around would really limit him from now on. He is on his way back Princeton to search for another goldmine. So glad that all three, Stef, Greg, and Brad tested negative. I was worried in the last chapter or two in the last book when Stef was going over with Brad his wealth, and about him being co - executor of his estate with Greg that he might not be around much longer. But anything is possible though. Great story!

I think Claire will end up keeping the kid. Something about the way she said that Jack was going to dump her.

I bet he told Robbie that Brad had fucked him earlier and flirted with him to get fucked again, just for thrill of it!

I figure you are right. But I think he got a really, really good deal on them. Probably worth many times what he paid for them.

Granger may make a huge profit off of the diamonds when he get back home. Or may make it easier for him to make it back home.

Doug probably doesn't realize that Stef can get fire the hell out of his Dad! Or he hasn't considered that yet!

Great Start! I have enjoyed the first 3 Chronicles, and it looks like this one is on par with them.

Great story! Thanks Mark.

Very good chapter. I really like the first book. I am starting this one off reading the comment and commenting again myself. I stopped reading the comments and really stopped comment in the last book. So many people comment after reading it a couple of times or more and really giving some of the story away. So I will try again and see how it goes this time.

I really did enjoy this story. Loved all the main character's! Thanks Mark!

I don't see where it was wrong for their dad to give Jim 2 times more stocks in the construction company than he did JP. If JP worked at and did as much work with the company as Jim it would be a different story. But he should have stated before he handed them their present. Or he should have gave them the same as a present but given Jim the extra 100,000 share as a bonus as a year end bonus. I think JP reasoned that, but then there at the last he said it made him see where he stood with his Dad.

I had a feeling that was going to be the last time that JP would ever see Andre when he left Chicago. Very sad. Actually it makes me more pissed at Jeff for the way he acted. Just imagine how JP would be if this happened and he had gone back home for Jeff's birthday. Even if he had carried Andre with him he would have felt cheated. I have a feeling that Andre may live on. The young lady Isidore in France very much could have been pregnant with his child.

I don't see why JP is now trying to blame himself about the Jeff deal. He had been really, really good to Jeff over the last 5 months, rescuing him when he was tossed out. Carrying him to Chicago, buying him clothes, introducing him to the Head Coach at Northwestern. giving him $500 for his help in moving and painting. Back in 1962 not a lot of people made that kind of money with room and board included in 3 months. Andre he had known for years now and was his best friend and really the love of his life. Anyone in their right mind would have stayed home in Chicago to spend time with a person like that. There is the possibility that might have been the last time that JP might ever get to see him again. Andre was heading into very dangerous place. But JP should not feel bad, or guilty for his decision. If he can't make Jeff see that, he isn't worth that then Jeff isn't worth the time of day.

I am proud of Frank. I hope Henderson will take care of him and maybe give him a promotion.

I didn't expect that. But the POS had fucked his life up on his own!

Great Chapter!

Wonderfully written!

Like I my comment on the last chapter that I wasn't going to read any more comments by others because they are giving away to much info on what is going to happen in the future because they have read it multiple times. But I still have to comment myself. Loved this chapter. JP is so smooth. He has been trained on how the real world works. I loved how he handle the asshole Jensen and then handled the union official like a pro. Love the story.

I am just going to have to stop reading these comments at the end of each chapter. So many have read this story 2 times or more and keep making comments that may not tell you exactly what is going to happen but do give you lots of hints an clues. Been like this from the start. Kid of spoils it for those of us that are just finding the story or those that may have just joined this site.
