Rodney got to his house with trepidation. He did not know why he was afraid but his wife had really surprised him.

He had had to sponsor the abortion of alot of babies because he did not want to antagonize his wife because a large portion of his wealth came from his wife. Her family was a powerful one and antagonizing her would mean digging his own grave.

It was not really as though he loved her but he could not afford to become less wealthy than he was at the moment.

He who pays the piper dictates the tune and he always danced to the tune of his father...
