Chapter 10

Cw: mentions of sex (duh) period typical misogyny, some racism and technically a curse

Easter 1923

Ever since he was a kid, Jack’s dreamed of owning the world.

His apartment had been good, modern and spacious and perfect for a bachelor. When his ambition decided he needed a wife to complete his success, he looked for a perfect starter house.

One that would be seen as the beginning of his rise, one that would become the steppingstone for his future.

He’d carried Eva over the threshold just as he’d done when he took her to the townhouse he shared with Carrie for Gina’s sake. He had fucked her in every surface of the house, built a marriage that would have everyone doubt this had been an arrangement made in the span of a week.

Their current home was great, perfect for a growing family with a long veranda for the children, a garage that was every middle-class car aficionado’s dream and yet it won’t be long before they leave it too.

Jack never dreams small; he hadn’t known exactly what this dream home would be until he saw Rockwood Hall.

J.D. Rockefeller had made the second largest mansion in all of America, so grand that his own descendants had to sell it after his death. So grand only the Rileys could afford it now that they gained government contracts through his connections.

“We should get one of these.” He says as he takes Rosie in his arms and the boys run off to play with the other children.

Little Jack turns back long enough to hug his mother goodbye and Little Joey is already yelling at the boys he met at the last family gathering. They gather with her family for the big holidays after that fiasco during the first thanksgiving when the twins were born.

They’d spend Easter here, the 4th of July at home, come here for September 16th before the boys start their first day of school –of which he’s taking the day off work because Eva said so--- and miss Florida because Eva was due in November.

Katherine Drusilla Nelson, Duchess of Devonshire and conceived in the most coveted bed in the world on Valentine’s Day. Named for his late elder sister who died of consumption along with Gina and their mother, and for Eva’s aunt, the formidable Olivia Drusilla Riley de Souza.

Livia doesn’t like him, told him to his face and repeated it that first Thanksgiving they hosted in 1919. Thought he was beneath them and unworthy of her favorite niece. But she practically raised Eva because her mother got the baby blues and so he put up with her…enough to have her share his daughter’s name.

“I like the one we rented in Hyannis Port for July 4th last year, Malcom Cottage, was it? Although I am partial to the villa in Florida.” Eva mentions acting as if they had to choose between one. She grew up in several houses, always moving about with the parents or relatives caring for her when she wasn’t in school.

“Why settle for one, when we can have it all?” It’s like when she asked if they could keep the tradition of middle names for their children because the two of them also had middle names, she didn’t even need to ask to know the answer is always yes.

Besides his witch of a wife has never been wrong before, never will be if you ask him.

“About fucking time, I hate telling people you live in the suburbs, that’s so middle class.” Gina said making her dear uncle reprimand her for swearing in front of the children.

“Language, Gina.”

While Rosie struggled with talking, she’d picked up swearing with ease. She learned to say shit from hearing Jack hurt himself in the garage one fucking time.

Their sweet little angel smiled impishly and muttered the word ‘fuck’ as she bit the gold crucifix they got her for Easter.

Well, they were never gonna make angels anyways.

Family gatherings were fine, for the most part. Sure, her aunt would make backhanded remarks towards Jack in her face, while also outright insulting him outright the moment her back was turned, it went well mostly.

It wasn’t because he was American, new money nor a gangster. It was simply because he wasn’t Cornelius Vanderbilt IV, the man Livia had picked out for her like he was a new dress she’d gifted her.

Vanderbilt seemed nice, but he was rather boring. Well, boring in comparison to Jack who then had desecrated a confessional with her and boldly taken her to his place where they planned their future after he made her scream herself hoarse in pleasure.

Had Jack not been so good in bed ---and out of it--- maybe Eva would have been Mrs. Vanderbilt and kept the rebellious Vanderbilt heir from being bankrupt and disinherited from his family.

“I just don’t see what you see in him.” Livia looked at the man as if he were something the cat dragged in as he roughhoused with the boys in the garden. “He’s too full of himself, he has no class, he’s too hairy, his features all look like his face is too big to hold them, what did he have that Cornelius didn’t besides a business degree and a gang?”

Eva always gets this question and she’d just shrug and answer with something equal parts vulgar and the usual ‘I don’t really know’, this time she says the one thing that matters to someone who married for money and influence. “Because he will take us places we never even reached in Mexico, and that sweet little boy named after his father, will be the youngest president this country will have.”

Her aunt is impressed, she had been disappointed thinking Eva was like her mother who married because she saw true love with her father even if he had nothing but a stolen watch to his name.

Eva was not like her mother, she could never be happy with a man who didn’t want more, Jack had ambition and lucky for her, would only ever be hers.

“I suppose I can see something about him now. If he is taking us further than we ever could’ve done at home, I could even call him my nephew. After all people marry into our family, they never marry out of here.” Her red-haired aunt changed her tune exactly like the witch had known it would happen.

Jack is wary of Livia’s sudden acceptance for the rest of the day, utterly stumped at why she’d stop being such a bitch to him. But he enjoys it, loves pushing her buttons to see how long this kindness lasts.

“What did you tell her when you were out on the balcony with her?” he asks when they are finally alone in their luxurious suite complete with a nursery. The boys were having a sleepover with her cousin Francisco’s son across the wing and Rosie had claimed the princess bed in her own room.

Last time they were here, the Nelsons hadn’t been able to enjoy the bed as they had hoped and now wanted to make up for it. And they had since they put the children to bed.

“She asked why I chose you that day and I answered honestly for once.” Eva answered teasing him, toying with the curly hairs on his chest knowing he would guess wrong.

“You told your aunt we defiled a church for our first date?” he asks, taken aback by it. Everyone knew they had obviously fucked while on the maybe ten dates they had. Once they’d been so insatiable for each other they’d snuck off at dinner to fuck in a broom closet.

“God, no, she would’ve killed the two of us.” Eva shook her head. “I told her little Jack Nelson Junior’s going to be president of the united fucking states of America. If she still doesn’t like you after that, Junior might remember it when he’s living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

“Threatening your auntie for me, Evie. How sweet of you. You deserve a reward.” He is so proud of her and touched by what she did that he adds a spontaneous, “I love you.”

He is not fond of saying it in public, but oh he is as sweet as honey the moment the doors close. Usually, it is her who says it first these days.

“I love you too.” Eva kissed him hoping to show her love in a much more passionate way, but the second Jack gently moved her underneath him they hear Gina’s girlish scream followed by crying and slurs from the blonde girl’s own mouth.

“I told you we shouldn’t have brought her.” Jack groaned and both rushed to find their clothes. “I’m putting her on the next train to Manhattan, let her mother deal with her for the rest of Easter.”

It is uncharitable to say, but if one of the girls hit nineteen-year-old Gina, she likely deserved it. Her time at university had actually made her worse, the only people to blame are the sorority she joined and herself. Unfortunately, she was expelled for her shitty behavior and won’t be going back next week.

They are in New York when they see Shelby again.

He is here to ensure the custody of his son whom the world will believe was Clive’s because Grace wanted to keep her dignity. Jack was here for business matters relating to the will since little Charlie would inherit a portion of Jack’s companies.

“She is cursed, you know.” Eva speaks quietly in rromani so Grace nor Jack know what is being said as she tries to argue for her son’s inheritance. “Even my husband can smell the death on her skin like perfume.”

“If I don’t marry her my son will not be mine.” He admits. There was regret in his voice, a look that said that the Grace he loved was not the woman he is getting to know.

The real Grace wants to be accepted by the class that hates people like Eva, Tommy and even Jack. The real Grace feels no guilt because her happiness is what comes first always. The real Grace is not the persona she crafted in 1919 to get his attention.

But it was too late now.

“She won’t live to see his third birthday, if you marry her, you will go mad with her death knowing Polly Gray’s curse came true because of you.” The witch warns him, as much as she hates Grace for breathing she doesn’t want the blonde dead.

“Your husband wants her gone from America even if it kills her.” he points out.

Jack wants her dead for what she did to Clive, for what she did to their IRA contacts and because she is just as phony as the rest of her ilk.

“If a woman drove your friend to suicide for a man in love with a mirage of her, you would hate her too.” Eva replied honestly making Shelby wince.

“You witches think you know everything, don’t you?” he deflects thinking he can fool her like he fools Grace.

“That’s because we do. Come February of next year and you will be burying her as Mrs. Shelby and yourself as the fool who killed her. If you let her and the boy go, she will hate you but live to raise her son and see her grandchildren. Do you love her enough to let her go once and for all?”

Grace leaves the lawyer’s offices with the threat of having Charlie MacMillan’s true paternity exposed on every tabloid here and across the pond if she marries Tommy Shelby because even Jack doesn’t want her blood on his hands. She can have respectability and life, or death and infamy attached to the Caron and Burgess names the second she becomes Mrs. Shelby.

And yet that same summer they receive an invitation from Grace for their wedding in January of 1924 at Arrow House, the estate she doesn’t know he bought with May in mind. Her family will not even stick around for the funeral out of the shame she brought them.

In the end, Grace dies because she refused to move on from Thomas Shelby no matter how hard he tried to drive her away.

Miraculous

Chapter 7: Parisians’ Arrival in Florida

(Now, Adrien enters the Place des Vosges. Stepping onto the fountain, he eyes the rest of the park)

ADRIEN: Come on, guys. Are we seriously going to let Marinette physically vanish from our lives like this? After everything she’s done for us, we’ve got to try again to do the same for her. When I was trying to get to Solitude when my fragrance ad premiered, who helped me get there? Marinette did. Juleka, when you were dealing with a class photo jinx, who helped you overcome it?

youtube

JULEKA: Marinette did.

ROSE: Marinette did! Marinette did! She did it!

ADRIEN: And when Markov was called a toy by Ms. Mendeleiev and confiscated by Mr. Damocles, who was willing to put herself in his office to get him back?

MARKOV: It was Marinette!

MAX: I see your point! We need to go to Florida and bring Marinette back!

(Everyone agrees.)

ADRIEN: So, who’s coming with me?

ALYA: Marinette’s my best friend. I must go.

NINO: I wouldn’t have won the arm wrestle if not for her! I’m going!

TOM: Sabine and I are her parents. We need to go, too.

SABRINA: She tried to show me true friendship the day Nathaniel was akumatized.

KIM: She influenced me to ask out my former crush.

MAX: She decided to give her Ultimate Mecha Strike III tournament spot to me.

(Ivan, Mylène, Juleka, Rose, Nathaniel, Alix, Luka, Kagami, Marc, Nora, Ondine, the Chamacks, Markov, Ella, and Etta also join in. As does…)

ADRIEN: Chloé? You, too?

CHLOÉ: Well, Marinette did decide to return my phone to me, so l’ll go.

(Adrien and the group stare.)

CHLOÉ: Okay, there’s more. She did accept my invitation to my apology party, she apologized for insulting my heart, gave up her chance to be a famous fashion designer with my mother, helped me reconcile with said mother, threw me a Queen Bee party for helping Ladybug defeat Malediktator, and invited me to send you a message on the anniversary of your mother’s disappearance. That, along with my time as Queen Bee, has given me clarity. If she’s done that many nice things for me, then it’s about time I return the favor.

ADRIEN: Glad to hear it.

GINA: Bring my granddaughter back, alright?

MASTER FU: Good luck, (WHISPERS) Cat Noir.

MARLENA: We wish you the best of luck, okay?

OTIS: Bring back Marinette!

MR. DAMOCLÈS: Until you guys get back, the school will be closed!

ADRIEN: Come on, team! Let’s go to Florida and bring Marinette back to Paris!

ALL: Yeah!

youtube

ALYA: Wait. How are you going to pay for all of us?

ADRIEN: Don’t worry. I’m rich.

ALYA: Right.

(Now, Adrien leads the group through the bustling Charles de Gaulle airport. The Parisians head through the jet bridge to the plane. Moving at high speed, the plane ascends off the runway and into the sky. On the plane in the middle of the flight, the couples, including, but not limited to, Alya and Nino, Ivan and Mylène, and Rose and Juleka, sleep together. Towards the end of the flight, Adrien eyes Orlando sparkling in the night. The plane lands on the Orlando International Airport runway. Now, the Parisians walk along International Drive, looking at the sparkling lights. Still along International Drive, they step toward Marriott’s Grande Vista. The arriving Parisians eye the beautiful lobby. The guests roll their eyes at them and angrily murmur. At the front desk, the first employee eyes the Parisians angrily and hands them keys.)

ADRIEN: Thank you.

(Now, with an emotionless look, the second employee leads them to a room.)

MARRIOTT WORKER 2: Here you go.

ADRIEN: Have a nice day.

(They enter their two-bedroom villa. It looks just like Marinette’s except they have a Cox mini box.)

TOM: Look at this place.

CHLOÉ: Wow.

KAGAMI: So clean.

NORA: We hit the jackpot!

MYLÈNE: It’s so beautiful.

ADRIEN: All right, guys. Let’s rest now and begin our mission tomorrow.

NATHANIEL: Got it.

KIM: Good idea.

———————————————————————————-

Trivia

Adrien was originally going to bring up Marinette getting Nathaniel and Marc to collaborate on making comics. It was cut because whereas Marinette failed, Ladybug managed to mend things between them.

7 Febbraio 1944, Lunedì

Moriva a Fiesole, uccisa durante i bombardamenti, il soprano e attrice cinematografica LINA CAVALIERI

Offrendo ancora bambina ai passanti le violette per un baiocco e un sorriso gratis. Spesso "passa ponte" e, di nascosto dei genitori, a 13 anni, già donna e con i riccioli neri fluenti, s' intrufola al Baraccone delle Meravigliea piazza Pepe, rifacendo il verso alla sciantosa. Così la scopre un maestro di canto, che convince i genitori a farle educare la voce. Basta poco e debutta in abitino di cretonne alla Torre di Belisario a Porta Pinciana; solo un piattino passando tra il pubblicoa fine spettacolo per la "chetta", la questua. Ma è brava e bella, e allora la invitano al Grande Orfeo,e da lì al Salone Margherita. Niente più piattino, ma un contratto e un boa di struzzo. E diventa la diva del pubblico borghese del caféchantant di Roma, esaltata pure da Trilussa: «Fior d' orchidea,/ il bacio dato sulla bocca tua/ lo paragono al bacio d' una dea». Che la qualifica un personaggio di Roma. Ma eccola richiesta a Napoli e Milano; la sua bellezza e il suo modo di cantare seducente nel giro di dieci anni la portano a Parigi per le Folies-Bergères, a Londra per l' Empire, a Vienna per l' English Garden. Arriva a competere con la Bella Otero, ma finisce per essere lei la più bella del mondo, secondo la qualifica che le assegna D' Annunzio nel 1899 nella dedica di una copia del Piacere, definendola «massima testimonianza di Venere in Terra». Ormai ha migliorato tanto la sua voce da trasformarsi in cantate lirica, debuttando nel 1900 nella Bohème al San Carlo di Napoli. Sulla scena è splendido vederla più che udirla, fra portamento sensuale e sontuose acconciature. Famoso per audacia resta il bacio a Enrico Caruso sul palcoscenico del Metropolitan Opera di New York, al termine del duetto della Fedora. Da allora Lina negli Stati Uniti è "The kissing primadonna". E si diverte a sposarsi. Quattro matrimoni per quattro divorzi. Nel 1899 con il principe russo Aleksandr Bariatinsky; nel 1908 per soli 8 giorni con il milionario americano Robert Winthrop Chanler; nel 1913 con il tenore francese Lucien Muratore; nel 1927 con il pilota automobilistico Giuseppe Campari. E tanti altri amori, dall' industriale Davide Campari che la segue in tournée per pubblicizzare il suo aperitivo, al re del Kazan che la sposerebbe se abbandonasse le scene, ai cantanti Mattia Battistini e Tito Schipa, a Guglielmo Marconi. Fino al suo impresario Arnaldo Pavoni, con il quale passa gli ultimi anni tra la villa della Cappuccina a Rieti e quella di Fiesole. Il 7 Febbraio 1944, durante un attacco aereo su Firenze, una bomba distrugge la villa, seppellendola sotto le macerie con Pavoni e la cameriera. Gina Lollobrigida la rievocherà nel film "La donna più bella del mondo" del 1955. Era nata a Viterbo il 24 dicembre 1875.

Ciao Gina! yes, I confirm, an Italian boy met Harry yesterday, Sunday, in Villa Ada (in Rome), a very quiet park where you can walk or walk the dogs. Harry wore a hat and glasses and petted the boy's dog before continuing on his way

Aw, that’s a very sweet interaction. Thank you for sharing!

@themxtleycrew submitted a naughty pic:

"G-Gina stole my regular clothes, this was the only thing I could find to wear." Detective Ema Skye stammered as she stood before the ladies of the villa in nothing but a bunny suit. Gina could have at least left her labcoat...

"It certainly looks adorable on you though~ but from what Samus has said about Ms. Gina I'm surprised she left you in something without pockets, seeing as Samus's suit has given her all kinds of trouble." Cynthia giggled. "Come on in and we'll get you into something more... comfortable." She may be planning to coerce her into the villa's casual nudity.

B. JURISDICTION OVER SUBJECT MATTER

Gomez v. People [G.R. No. 216824 (10 November 2020)]

Gina Villa Gomez's corruption case is reinstated by the Court of Appeals after the trial court dismissed it due to the lack of authority on the part of the handling prosecutor, with the Court ruling that the lack of authority is not a jurisdictional defect and can be waived by the accused.

Facts:

Gina Villa Gomez was arrested on September 17, 2010, by the Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group of Makati City.

On September 19, 2010, a complaint was filed against her for corruption of public officials under Article 212 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC).

The Office of the City Prosecutor (OCP) of Makati City issued a resolution on September 21, 2010, finding probable cause that Villa Gomez offered P10,000 to police officers for the release of her companion, Reynaldo Morales.

The resolution was signed by Assistant City Prosecutor Rainald C. Paggao and approved by City Prosecutor Feliciano Aspi.

An Information was filed on September 22, 2010, with the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Makati City, Branch 57, charging Villa Gomez with corruption of public officials.

On February 13, 2013, the RTC dismissed the case motu proprio, citing a lack of jurisdiction due to the Information not bearing the signature or approval of the City Prosecutor.

The prosecution's motion for reconsideration was denied on April 29, 2013.

The Court of Appeals (CA) annulled the RTC's orders and reinstated the criminal case.

Villa Gomez filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with the Supreme Court.

Issue:

Whether the RTC committed grave abuse of discretion in quashing the Information and dismissing the criminal case due to the absence of jurisdiction related to the handling prosecutor's failure to secure prior written authority or stamped approval from the City Prosecutor.

Whether the RTC erred in motu proprio quashing the Information and dismissing the criminal case despite it being submitted for decision and without giving the prosecution an opportunity to be heard.

Ruling:

The Supreme Court denied the Petition for Review on Certiorari filed by Gina Villa Gomez.

The Court affirmed the October 9, 2014, Decision of the Court of Appeals.

The Court ordered the RTC of Makati City, Branch 57, to resume its proceedings in Criminal Case No. 10-1829 with utmost dispatch.

Ratio:

The Supreme Court held that the lack of prior written authority or approval from the City Prosecutor on the face of the Information does not affect the trial court's jurisdiction over the person of the accused or the subject matter of the offense.

The Court emphasized that such a procedural requirement is not jurisdictional and can be waived by the accused if not raised before entering a plea.

The Court noted that the RTC acted with grave abuse of discretion by dismissing the case motu proprio without giving the prosecution an opportunity to be heard, thereby violating the State's right to due process.

The Court clarified that the requirement for a handling prosecutor to secure prior written authority or approval is merely a formal requisite and not a jurisdictional one.

The Court abandoned previous doctrines that held the lack of such authority as a jurisdictional defect.

The Court stated that it is sufficient for the validity of the Information that the resolution recommending the filing of the Information bears the imprimatur of the provincial, city, or chief state prosecutor.
