Trifecta Challenge Week 67 – The word is JUGGLE Using the 3rd definition in 33 to 333 words – 3: to handle or deal with usually several things (as obligations) at one time so as to satisfy often competing requirements <juggle the responsibilities of family life and full-time job — Jane S. Gould>
She drapes herself in Gucci, Armani, Versace. 24 carat gold jewellery adorns her fingers, wrists and throat. Her watch, a Cartier Santos 100 diamond 18 carat is exquisite, a birthday present from him. The price tag a mere $39,000.00. Jimmy Choo is all she wears on her pedicured feet, her nails, french manicured. Her hair cut elegantly short, black, slick, shiny.
She lives amongst the haute monde, her house palatial, decorated with Italian furnishings, an ambience of pure glamour. The stately garden, which surrounds her castle, is full of elms and magnificent perfumed rose trees. Koi of red and white, swim elegantly under lilies at the base of the waterfall in her fish pond, whilst black swans paddle gently back and forth. Every morning she swims 20 laps in her pool to maintain her tightly toned body. Her husband appreciates her anatomy, she is twenty-five years younger.
She is the hostess of all hostesses, though she never lifts a finger in the preparation of holding a garden party or a sit down dinner for thirty of their closest friends. She has servants who are paid to attend to the cooking and cleaning. Madeline does not need to get her fingers dirty.
She is in the book club, the bridge club, the tennis club and like clockwork every Wednesday evening she jumps into her Bugatti Veyron kisses her husband David on the cheek to join her girlfriends to play bridge or sometimes even poker.
Wednesday, a warm summers evening, when she drove to the club.
Where she was greeted with warm smiles and kisses on the cheek.
Walking up the staircase, she entered the room.
Madeline let her Armani dress slip to the floor.
Laid on the bed and welcomed her first client.
They took her, paid her, walked away.
She was not born with a silver spoon.
Madeline had knocked on heavens door, when she married David, but now this was life she chose to juggle….
the life she wants against the life she has.

Ramblings From A Mum 
Love it….
Thank you sweetness 🙂 x
Oooo just goes to show money can’t buy all happiness.
Nope Draug you are correct- thanks for coming over 🙂 x
I love this story. Keep going please.
rheath how lovely of you to say – I thank you so much…I may just do that 😉
Good. 🙂
Not the ending I was expecting. Brilliant.
Nor was I when I 1st began Beck – glad you liked 🙂 Thank you. x
Interesting character. I don’t really understand what fulfills her from her ‘other life’ – whether it’s the physical pleasure or the independence or some sort of emotional experience, but I had a good sense of her acquired wealth after reading this.
and possibly a mystery does she want the life she has with the riches or the life of an after hours call girl, is she tired of the wealth, unhappy with the husband who has provided? Does she seek ‘love’ in any form to have it rather than not? Thanks Jannat for your response. x
Woah – Madeline certainly does lead an interesting life! 😉
Yup – bridge clubs weren’t like they use to be 😉 xx
Other people’s money. Loved the twist here. Oddly feminist.
Yes other than what she receives from hubby darling. Thank you kymm your comment is most welcomed, as is your visit.
Perhaps everybody wants a little risk and adventure in order to break out of their routine and out of their comfort zones…
I think perhaps this is what she needed, bored with the life of having everything handed on a plate… wanted to be in control – thanks for popping over and commenting btw 😉
I love the characterization here. Money certainly doesn’t buy happiness.
Hi Bee no at times it does not, thanks for saying hello 🙂
Wow, that’s not what I expected her to be juggling! Interesting twist.
Hello Anabelle – my mind takes me on some quirky paths that’s if certain 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Intriguing. Everyone needs something of their own – and what better thing to own than your body. I liked the twist – thought provoking – my favorite kind of twist.
Hello Steph, yes – very well put, I liked your analogy. Thank you for your comments and coming by. 🙂
Really good! Did not see that coming
Thank you so much.
a life of everything – with something missing. Well documented.
Thank you so much HT x
Wow! Didn’t see that coming. Great story and incredibly good descriptive details.
I am humbled LD – thank you.
What’s life if not peppered with a little excitement or a change of routine,eh?Madeline seems to love the power -possibly she was a call girl before she married David?Or who knows maybe she loves sex-& David is 25 years older-not getting nay there maybe?lol!Love the intriguing tale-how no one is happy with the lives they have-not even the rich& powerful-all of us chasing the elusive rainbow of happiness;-)A wonderful piece-loved it:-)
Hi gorgeous, thank you so much for your thoughts on this. Yes not enough love, wanting to control something of her own and not be handed it all on a plate..actually when I started I had the image of her being a call girl in my head (in the prior life) so well picked. xx
Oh so glad I picked that-goes to show how well you have written the piece:-)I had planned on writing a piece on a woman with many lovers,a family,a hectic social life,a husband,a job but when i started writing ,the story just changed,lol!
Ah A61 – that happens too often does it not, an idea…a thought…but when our fingers hit the keys..a whole different story develops! Thanks for your kind comments.
