That was excellent! I really like Stephan!  I really hate Douglas and those other fools!

You know, Douglas is just pissing me off now. I'm looking at this joker on the one hand, insulting Cara about her looks, the hue of her skin, and insinuating she's some loose woman who is trapping his nephew; while on the other hand, openly lusting after this same "scheming" woman's mother himself, in front of her husband and child. So the question begs to be aske; what "values" is he displaying with this behavior? How does he think that what he's doing is somehow better?

And another thing, what's up with Joanne? She's just sitting there like a bump on a log with Douglas acting like this in front of her family? She's not stupid, his intent is clear and they all know it. After all, he's hardly making a secret of it. She doesn't have to fight Cecil's battles for him as the man, but I'd definitely let Douglas know that his opinion of not only her daughter, but his loosebehavior, dont line up, and is not appreciated. And she doesn't have to go off or get in the gutter either; just be classy and intelligent in her responses and reactions about it. I really expected her to call him out some on it because Douglas is the worst kind of hypocrite!

And poor Cara; I don't know why Anja put on this big production, and who for? Stephan and Cara didn't really want or need all of that. And yes, Cara agreed, but only because Anja was speeding headlong into it. With those "family" members all in one place, on her all at once, its just something she could have eased into with the marriage itself. Just because of who Cara is, Anja maybe should have kept it smaller. Having said that, I think Cara should have stayed there with Stephan, if for no other reason that to show them they didn't hit a nerve, even if they had. Never let them see you sweat! I hope these little run-ins will make Cara stronger each time.

Good stuff!

I feel so badly for them. 

Fab chapter and forget the hags for trying to make Cara uncomfortable! Stephan gave her something unique alright lol!

Oh oh!! I see Douglas and family were up to no good. Poor Cara!! Stephen really gave her something unique BUT was that a good or bad thing for them as a couple??!! He sounded upset with her!! Can't wait for the next update!!

Author's Response:

He wasn't upset with her, he was upset with himself.  He had no idea that he'd be blindsided by his uncle and cousin and that most of all, Gena would say such a thing to Cara and give her that visual.  He is already a bit insecure because Cara has ran from him twice.  He was worried that after Gena's statement that the'd have a major setback in their relationship.  He wanted her to understand that she is unique because he wants her and only her to become his wife.  Yes, a lot of his extended family members are up to no good, but he's determined that no one is going to separate him and Cara.  Thanks for the review.

Great update!   Douglas is so creepy and inappropriate.  Gena is just embarrassing and Fawn is a jackass.  What a lovely family.

Damn, I love Stephan. Take that Gena, or not since Cara just took it. Douglas is an old coot, I know he does not think he has a chance in hell of getting with Joanne,unless he wants a bullet in his a**. I was so pleased that Anja spoke up for her future daughter n law. Awesome update!

I really like this story.  I look forward to more.

Nyeesha

Loved the update. Hopefully uncle Douglas will come around and stop with his small minded ways of thinking. Loving Cara and Stephan!!

Great read

Josef told Douglas exactly right. Let it go! Why does Douglas care so much. He's just an uncle. Good chapter!

Hahahaha "Rutted like deers" The uncle is a strange one hating the daughter but loving the mother! I'm suprised he didn't give more of a fight, but then again we have more chapters to come ahaha! It would be nice to see Josiah interact with his anja they'd be realyly cute!
