The Professor's Women
Chapter Six: Just Us Girls
As she drove home, Traci's mind was going a-mile-a-minute and when she parked Liz in the garage, she was comparing Vanessa's oral skills to her father's. When she walked through the dining room, she saw her father in the living room sitting in his favorite chair, smoking his pipe. She walked over and kissed him and sat on the floor at his feet.
"Something on your mind Baby?" he asked.
"Yes Daddy", she said and told him about what had happened during her trip to the Mall. She reminded him about the lingerie she had worn on their 'trip' and who she had purchased them from. She told him about the invitation to the party, the type of people who would be there, and how it might affect her future. Then she told him about the cunnilingus she had received from Mrs. Dubois, and how it seemed to be exactly like what he had done to her.
Jackson put down his pipe, blew a smoke ring, and said, "I believe I know the woman you are talking about. Her late husband Gerhardt Dubois, was on the University's Board of Regents. Is she perhaps a tall, slender, elegant looking woman in her early forties?"
Traci nodded.
"Yes, I am certain I am familiar with her." Jackson continued "Your mother and I used to see them quite often at University social events. She always 'liked' your mother, so to speak."
"You see, Baby, I have a bit of a family history with Gerhardt." He said, and went on "He was a Holocaust survivor who was taken in during the war by a married couple named Dubois living in Reims. They were childless, and found him as a baby after his parents were killed. They knew he was a German Jew because he was wrapped in a Tallit with the name Gerhardt embroidered on it. They told the authorities and that he was their child when they were asked, and he was saved because they could prove that they were not Jewish. The German invaders registered the child as Gerhardt Dubois."
Jackson continued "After the war was over his parents told him of his heritage. After they died, a short time later of typhus, young Gerhardt found himself on a ship headed to New York bunking with a plucky Italian named Vincenzo Marconi, our Cousin Vinnie's grandfather. After they landed at Ellis Island, Vinnie convinced the immigration people that he was a cobbler and young Gerhardt was his apprentice."
He continued, "Vinnie had (forged) papers that said there was a job waiting for them in Providence, RI, so immigration let them pass. When they got to Rhode Island, there was no job, but Vincenzo was resourceful and Gerhardt was talented. They managed to scrounge work and soon had a successful business selling fruits and vegetables on the street corners. In no time they had enough money to rent a storefront which eventually grew into the wholesale grocery distributorship that is currently run by my Cousin Vinnie's father Geno Marconi. Vinnie Sr. began to see that Gerhardt was not happy working in the Grocery business, but he saw young Gerhardt was a whiz with numbers, so he enrolled the teenager in school. By his early twenties he was a CPA, doing the books for Vinnie and all of his friends. He expanded his accounting business to Boston, invested wisely, marrying a young Catholic girl and building a mansion in the richest section of Providence. Unfortunately they had no children and in his late fifties, he decided to sell his interests in Boston, Providence, and Hartford, and move west to Illinois."
Traci listened intently to this amazing story as her father continued "This much of the story Gerhardt told me himself, over the many times we talked. You see, Vinnie was 'family' we were connected, but I always wondered how much he had to do with the Fellowship that brought me here. About the time I started my fellowship, the first Mrs. Dubois became ill and passed away. I used to spend a lot of time with Gerhardt until he started showing up at events with a young 'Debutante' named Vanessa. At first I thought she was a 'Gold-digger', but she had come from 'money' so I never said anything to the old man. This was about the same time that I met your mother, so you can guess where the rest of the story goes. Anyway, He married Vanessa about the same time you were born, and he died a few years after your mom did and was buried next to the first Mrs. Dubois in the family crypt in Evergreen Cemetery."
"Wow Dad, that's quite a story. So did the old man just give her everything in his will?" Traci said.
"Not quite" her dad said. "You see, because he never completely trusted Vanessa, and because he had been an accountant most of his life, he had an army of lawyers at his disposal. He made sure she had no access to his estate, while making sure she was well taken care of. Since she had no idea of his true holdings, Vanessa never knew how much Gerhardt was really worth. He told me when his first wife died, he had everything put into a blind trust with the University regents controlling how the funds were invested and dispersed. I can only guess how large the fund is, but I have heard rumors that it paid for two thirds on the Bone Center. He made sure Vanessa was well taken care of and bought her that little business. She gets to live in the mansion as long as she stays single, but has no ownership stake in the house or grounds. She has a generous household budget and is allowed her little 'perversions' as long as she does not call too much 'attention' to herself. Her little 'parties' are well known, and she uses her society contacts to keep everything on the 'down low' so to speak."
Jackson continued. "He also told me there is a clause in the will that will cut Vanessa off without a cent if she does anything that does anything 'illegal', 'nefarious', or 'brings shame' to the family name, because the trust agreement has an iron clad 'morals' clause. I have no problem with you attending one of her 'soirees' Traci. I know you will be 'safe' there, because I know a few of the frequent attendees quite well. All I ask is that you remember if someone comes up to you and whispers 'Pink Bunnies', you will understand that, whomever they are, they are there to 'look out' for, and protect you from any harm." Jackson concluded.
"Daddy, I thought that was 'our' word?" She said surprised.
"My baby girl," Jackson said "You are an adult woman now and I cannot be with you everywhere you go. However, I am still your father and feel responsible for your welfare, so I will take whatever steps I can to protect you from anyone who tries to harm you without keeping you from having your fun. Please don't be angry with me for loving you so much. I don't want to lose you like we lost mommy."
