One Chapter A Day - Re-Read Of Bared and Entwined

[LN Cronan]

Was Deanna hoping to become girlfriend material? Or was she just doing her job, trying to get a story if she bedded Gideon?

 

 

My guess: she did some sort of business-related story as the means to meet Gideon, having a hidden agenda to get him to date her. The natural assumption would be he was sleeping with all those brunettes too - why wouldn't he be? Even if he was careful to explain to Deanna that their interactions would be strictly limited to sex, I'll bet she still had those "exaggerated expectations" anyway he'd make her his girlfriend -- and that she would become "the one." Most, if not all, of the beautiful brunettes would have believed every one of them had such a shot. Gideon had been engaged once before, so clearly marriage was in his life plan -- and he absolutely had a "thing" for brunettes. 

 

Magdalene had exaggerated expectations, despite the fact she knew the score: Gideon didn't sleep with the women he dated nor date the women he f*****. Magdalene believed Gideon not sleeping with her was a sign of respect and proof that he was going to keep her in his life for the long haul. She actually thought that he'd simply get sowing his wild oats out of his system so he'd be ready to settle down -- choosing her as his wife.

 

Even Eva herself had certain expectations with Gideon from the get-go. He basically was looking for a one night stand or at most a short-term fling. She expected friends with benefits. Then when the lovemaking in the limo changed everything, she knew the arrangement she'd already made with Gideon wasn't going to satisfy her. The crucial difference between Eva and other women, though, was she intended to walk away, not settle for scraps and hope for more. Thanks to therapy, Eva had enough insight to realize settling would be very bad for her.

 

I suspect Eva is right Gideon screwed Deanna and then threw her onto the reject pile -- the gleam in Deanna's eyes showed the woman has some sort of personal grudge against Gideon. What she said to Eva suggests to me Deanna thinks he's been using women for years (Eva being the latest) all the while holding a torch for Corrine, trying to figure out how to get Corrine back and marry her some day.

 

Yes, part of Eva's reaction was the old brunette-fixation insecurity, because Deanna appeared to be very much Gideon's type. But Eva also sensed it wasn't as simple as that in this particular case. Eva's instincts had been dead right about Corrine herself still being in love with Gideon. Eva's instincts also had been dead right about Magdalene. Deanna is now the third brunette tied to Gideon somehow that Eva has had getting in her (Eva's) face.

 

Eva still suspects the reason Gideon had dated brunettes for years was because of Corrine. What's finally changed recently is Eva at last believes Gideon is in love with her. But unless and until Gideon actually figures out for himself what the real reason behind the brunette fixation is (because he's admitted he doesn't consciously know why) the insecure part of Eva is still going to bristle at every beautiful brunette of a certain "type" associated with Gideon, past and present -- because there definitely is something behind the brunette fetish.

Chapter 6 of Reflected in You - the Readers Guide

 

This chapter starts Sunday (day 20) and continues through Monday (day 21 - three weeks since Gideon and Eva met).

 

Key plot developments

• On Monday, Eva went to lunch with her mother. As they walked back to the Crossfire, instead of taking Monica's chauffeured car, Monica saw something that badly frightened her - what it was, she refused to tell Eva.
• Sunday, when Gideon arrived at the resort to pick up Eva and Cary, she chewed him over his having assigned a security staffer to (what Eva believed) keep guys away from her. We readers found out how Eva got even - calling in a favor, she'd sent a security goon to interfere with Gideon's freedom of movement in Arizona.
• Eva found out the way Gideon had gotten the money to start building Cross Industries was through gambling. He'd cheated at blackjack by counting cards. 

 

New characters

None in this chapter

 

What did Monica see?

The chapter ended on a dramatic note, with Monica badly frightened by something she saw outside the Crossfire as she, Eva and Megumi were walking back from having all gone out to lunch together.

Clancy, Monica's driver/bodyguard, was nearby at the time, driving alongside slowly, because Monica had opted to join the young women on their exercise walk back to the office. Whatever Monica saw, Clancy also apparently saw, because he immediately  loaded the women into the car -- with Monica getting in up front so she could privately speak with Clancy.

Weeks later would we readers learn that Monica spotted Nathan right outside the Crossfire. This would have made at least the second time he had been in the vicinity of the building in recent days. The prior Monday during lunchtime, Nathan had a serious confrontation with Gideon in Gideon's office.

 

Eva tries to argue with Gideon, who manages to distract her

On Sunday, Gideon arrived at the Las Vegas hotel to collect Eva and Cary for the trip home. Gideon and Eva got some alone time together while Cary was off elsewhere -- and Eva started to chew Gideon out.

She was still mad he'd assigned a security detail to her for the weekend, a security detail that wouldn't let people get too close. She believed Gideon had done it to keep any guys away from her (unaware that Gideon actually has subtly switched to having bodyguards watch her over very real fears Gideon now had for her safety.)

She'd gotten even by calling on Clancy for a favor - Clancy sent some goon of a guard to where Gideon was conducting business in Arizona. The guard made Eva's point by preventing other people from coming within three feet of Gideon.

Rather than getting angry about the revenge, Gideon was amused -- and was actually turned on at the thought of how Eva had challenged him. While she was trying to continue the argument, he ended up successfully distracting her sexually.

After they were done, she hit Gideon with the fact her father was planning to come visit New York the weekend after next -- and she wanted Gideon to meet him.

 

Some more about Gideon's past

Tidbits we readers learned when Gideon and Eva talked post-coital on Sunday at the Las Vegas hotel:

• Gideon got his financial start -- got the money to start building what became Cross Industries -- by winning at blackjack. Specifically, he "counted cards" which involves the use of mathematical genius to keep track of the cards already played, and thus to manipulate the odds in favor of the player. While technically not illegal, card counting is considered a form of cheating.
• Gideon, who no longer gambles, came away from blackjack with more than just money - he'd made his first valuable business contacts over the blackjack tables.
• Cross Industries mostly is an entertainment real estate conglomerate: luxury apartments, resorts, hotels, nightclubs, casinos, gyms. However, Gideon also is into information technology - software, games, social media.
• "People like to have fun, and they'll pay for the privilege," is what he told Eva when she asked him how did he get to be so rich. (page 99)

 

Some more about Monica

What makes Monica so appealing to men is she's a beautiful woman who radiates a vulnerable sensuality. In some ways, Monica's fragility is real, but not when it comes to men - she walks all over them.

Monica does, however, sometimes walk over Eva in a small way by laying guilt trips on her -- like the one she laid on Eva for Eva having gone away to Vegas without even telling her. Monica would have liked to have gone along on the trip.

As a child, Eva had learned "repeated apologies went a long way with her." (page 103) and thus when Monica got upset about something, Eva's pattern (dysfunctional) was to placate her mother.

 

Other misc. stuff from this chapter, all tied to work somehow

• Eva came up with a good idea on how to market the blueberry flavored coffee her boss, Mark, has landed as a new account. Mark liked her concept so much he decided they'd run with it, and he involved Eva in the next step -- thereby continuing to give Eva new responsibilities above her job description.
• Mark passed on word that Shawna (his sister-in-law in all but name) wants to invite Eva to go to a concert with her on Friday night.
• Eva's other new gal-pal in New York, Megumi, told her over lunch that the blind date she (Megumi) went on over the weekend went well, and she's hoping to see the guy again.

A Chapter A Day Re-Read Project - Today is Chapter 7 of Reflected in You

 

This chapter starts Monday evening (day 21) and continues through Tuesday evening (day 22)

 

Key plot developments:

• For the second time, while sleeping in Eva's bed, Gideon tried to sexually assault her while fast asleep in the middle of one of his violent nightmares. The last time, she talked him out of leaving, but this time, he left.
• Cary, afraid that the relationship could permanently damage Eva, strongly urged her to dump Gideon.
• However, she became determined to hang in there, staying in text contact with Gideon the next day when he avoiding talking to her. Then she took it upon herself to go see him Tuesday night, letting herself into his apartment for the first time with her own key.
• Eva convinced him she was done running, and he confirmed he was continuing to work with Dr. Petersen on the problem. For now, however, Gideon insisted that moving forward, they would sleep in separate beds.

 

After each of us has read Chapter 7, Sylvia would like to know what each of us liked best - either a quote or a paragraph.

[Sheens263]

My guess: she did some sort of business-related story as the means to meet Gideon, having a hidden agenda to get him to date her. The natural assumption would be he was sleeping with all those brunettes too - why wouldn't he be? Even if he was careful to explain to Deanna that their interactions would be strictly limited to sex, I'll bet she still had those "exaggerated expectations" anyway he'd make her his girlfriend -- and that she would become "the one." Most, if not all, of the beautiful brunettes would have believed she had such a shot. Gideon had been engaged once before, so clearly marriage was in his life plan. 

 

Even Magdalene had exaggerated expectations, despite the fact she knew the score: Gideon didn't sleep with the women he dated nor date the women he f*****. Magdalene believed Gideon not sleeping with her was a sign of respect and proof that he was going to keep her in his life for the long haul. She actually thought that he'd simply get sowing his wild oats out of his system so he'd be ready to settle down -- choosing her as his wife.

 

Even Eva herself had certain expectations with Gideon from the get-go. He basically was looking for a one night stand or at most a short-term fling. She expected friends with benefits. Then when the lovemaking in the limo changed everything, she knew the arrangement she'd already made with Gideon wasn't going to satisfy her. The crucial difference between Eva and other women, though, was she intended to walk away, not settle for scraps and hope for more. Thanks to therapy, Eva had enough insight to realize settling would be very bad for her.

 

I suspect Eva is right Gideon screwed Deanna and then threw her onto the reject pile -- the gleam in Deanna's eyes showed the woman has some sort of personal grudge against Gideon. What she said to Eva suggests to me Deanna thinks he's been using women for years (Eva being the latest) all the while holding a torch for Corrine, trying to figure out how to get Corrine back and marry her some day.

 

Yes, part of Eva's reaction was the old brunette-fixation insecurity, because Deanna appeared to be very much Gideon's type. But Eva also sensed it wasn't as simple as that in this particular case. Eva's instincts had been dead right about Corrine herself still being in love with Gideon. Eva's instincts also had been dead right about Magdalene. Deanna is now the third brunette tied to Gideon somehow that Eva has had getting in her (Eva's) face.

 

Eva still suspects the reason Gideon had dated brunettes for years was because of Corrine. What's finally changed recently is Eva at last believes Gideon is in love with her. But unless and until Gideon actually figures out for himself what the real reasons behind the brunette fixation is (because he's admitted he doesn't consciously know why) the insecure part of Eva is still going to bristle at every beautiful brunette of a certain "type" is associated with Gideon, past and present -- because there definitely is something behind the brunette fetish.

My main question is why has it taken Deanna so long to contact Eva if she is out for revenge on Gideon.

 

Gideon/Eva pictures have been in the press for weeks, why now contact Eva, even the break up and move on (in the publics eyes) of Gideon/Eva to now Gideon/Corrine has been a couple of weeks, what is Deanna agenda here and why now is she pouncing on Eva for a story???

On thinking back to Eva asking him about Corrine and the brunette thing earlier in the book or maybe at the NC beach house, I cann't remember exactly where the conversation took place, I think Gideon liked Brunette's because Corrine was his first true girlfriend and at the time I believe the thought he was in love with her, he proposed to her so maybe he thought it was love and with her being the first girl who had really shown affection to him he fixated on the brunette thing from her.

 

Like he said to Eva  he didn't think he was making a preference, comparing everyone to Corrine or the brunette thing and it was not intentional which makes me thing subconciously because Corrine was brunette he related, warmth, friendship, affection with that colour. 

 

just a thought:-

Corinne proposed to Gideon. She made the move, hoping to move things along with him. He didn't think anyone else would love him, so why not! This guys self esteem is pretty sh*tty too.

See Chapter 1 of Reflected. 

 

One of the numerous mind games Corrine played the night before was to tell Gideon she (Corrine) was surprised Eva did not look like her. Mr. Clueless made the mistake (duh) of repeating the remark to Eva the next morning on the way to work. This led to the brunette-type discussion (pages 14-15).

 

Corrine's remark to Gideon makes me suspect the following:

1. Once Gideon started to become famous (which would have been after Corrine married and moved to Europe) she started cyber-stalking Gideon. She would have seen a long line of brunettes on his arm, and as the years passed, he stuck to women like her but never settled down. This would have fed Corrine's hopes he was holding a torch for her.
2. It's malarkey that Corrine "discovered" Eva was a blonde the night she met Eva. Corrine would have been carefully following Gideon online after Gideon told her about a week and a half earlier he'd met someone -- and in the days since then, had been talking to Corrine about how special Eva was. I think that coupled with online photos showing real passion is what made Corrine desperate enough to hatch a plot to try to nuke the new relationship.

My main question is why has it taken Deanna so long to contact Eva if she is out for revenge on Gideon.

I reckon this woman's got a scoop somehow. One of the characters in the book Dr Lucas, Chris Vidal jnr has probably started the ball rolling, and she s going to run with it. Would the police let a story "slip" hoping to get witnesses out of the woodwork, to help their case?

Timeline of what the press/public would have believed, based on the celebrity love life coverage of Gideon. This is stuff Deanna could have gotten off the Internet plus interviewing high society insiders who attended the same events Gideon brought Eva to as his date:

 

1. Earlier in the summer, for a week and a half, some photos of Gideon and Eva appeared, along with some stories (based on Gideon's leak) the new relationship was serious. However, we also know that at the same time there were false speculations of a Gideon-Eva-Cary love triangle as well as an Eva-Gideon-Magdalene.
2. The very last time Gideon was photographed with Eva was on the red carpet entering a fundraiser the week after they started dating. Via society circle gossip, Deanna would have confirmed that was the same night Corrine showed up and Gideon instantly "latched on" to Corrine, ignoring Eva and ending up fighting with Eva at the event.
3. Another week and a half passed with absolutely no new love life photos of Gideon, not with Eva, not with anyone. (Nathan had shown up in New York and Gideon quietly removed Eva from the spotlight for her safety.)
4. Then suddenly, serious photos of Gideon taking Corrine out started appearing. Eva (and thus we readers) found out about two instances - Monday night dinner for two and Thursday work party. Then Eva quit looking any more. But there had to have been more -- now Gideon was the chief suspect in Nathan's killing and it was even more desperate now he foster the went-back-to-Corrine lie. We know he was spending time with Corrine, because two weeks later, Eva caught him leaving the Crossfire with Corrine.

 

Now here we are, two weeks-plus weeks into Gideon and Corrine's "reunited relationship" and more than five weeks since Eva briefly appeared on the public stage for only a brief while. The natural assumption was Eva was simply some hot fling that quickly burned out while Gideon and Corrine are going to get married after her divorce goes through.

 

When Gideon started seeing Corrine again about two weeks earlier, Deanna probably got furious, and that's when she began plotting her revenge. She's been digging these past two weeks and now has some serious dirt already assembled. She's now looking for additional ammo -- including getting dirt from a woman Gideon f***** simply to use that woman to get Corrine's attention, and then threw that woman onto the reject pile the night Corrine ran back to him.

Hi LN Cronan

Re: the brunettes

This is my favourite question too. Two weeks to go till we find out if our theories are correct.

I will let you have this one, for all your hard work. Your daily postings keep us going.

So my question would be, what did Monica and Gideon talk about at the hospital Monday morning? :)

[julie54]

For e books, do we know what time zone the midnight download will commence? Please.

[AMC]

My question would be:

 

Was Gideon lying when..

Gideon told Dr. Peterson that he had sex on the  average of twice a week before Eva--

but Gideon also told Eva that he's had sex more with her than all of the women combined..

[julie54]

My question would be:

 

Was Gideon lying when..

Gideon told Dr. Peterson that he had sex on the  average of twice a week before Eva--

but Gideon also told Eva that he's had sex more with her than all of the women combined..

He was probably economical with the truth.

He said to Eva "no lies ever" in the lift. He is just sketchy with the truth. ;)

I will let you have this one, for all your hard work. Your daily postings keep us going.

So my question would be, what did Monica and Gideon talk about at the hospital Monday morning?

 

We recently found out that Monica was the one who told Gideon it had been Nathan who'd attacked Cary.

[LN Cronan]

My question would be:

 

Was Gideon lying when..

Gideon told Dr. Peterson that he had sex on the  average of twice a week before Eva--

but Gideon also told Eva that he's had sex more with her than all of the women combined..

 

Previously, Gideon had told Eva that before her, sex was something he could leave or take. Between working hard and working out very hard, he didn't have much need for it. Every so often, a woman made him an offer he couldn't refuse, and so he indulged.

 

Eva must have forgotten that when she heard Gideon admit to Dr. Petersen he had sex on average twice per week. Eva was so triggered and paranoid by then, Eva assumed that Gideon was constantly sleeping with women, one after another.

 

The truth, I think is this:

 

• Once in a great while, Gideon got h**** enough to want to get laid, and when he was, he simply chose among the current women throwing themselves at his feet.
• He literally slept with them only once or twice -- be it a wild one-night stand during which he went at it repeatedly, or at most, slept with a woman only a couple of times before throwing her onto the reject pile.
• Then having gotten the need for sex out of his system, he'd go without for another long stretch.
• With Eva, though, he was going at it morning, noon and night all the time they were together. Both of them probably lost count of how many times they had intercourse, but Dr. Petersen learned the situation involved multiple times daily -- very highly sexualized situation, in other words.
• So literally, Gideon has had more sex in under two weeks with Eva than he had the prior two years total.

[LN Cronan]

He was probably economical with the truth.

He said to Eva "no lies ever" in the lift. He is just sketchy with the truth.

 

Gideon tells half truths, lies by omission, and lies through actions.

 

Mr. Clueless probably thinks that just because every word that does come out of his mouth is true, that means he's not lying.

 

Um Gideon - the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Understand that concept? Apparently not. Only the speaking "nothing but the truth." When ones words do not match one's actions, then the actions are not the truth. And lying by omission means it's not "the whole truth."

[Sheens263]

Corinne proposed to Gideon. She made the move, hoping to move things along with him. He didn't think anyone else would love him, so why not! This guys self esteem is pretty sh*tty too.

I agree Julie, his self esteen is really sh*tty and it will get worse I think in Entwined

How did Monica know this if Cary and the Police do not know this?

[LN Cronan]

How did Monica know this if Cary and the Police do not know this?

 

Excellent question -- one I hope we'll get an answer to if/when Eva demands full disclosure from Gideon about everything that went down in recent weeks. She's now colluding to cover up the killing, so she is on a need-to-know basis. Plus, Gideon owes her a lot of answers after weeks of having kept her in the dark.

 

The cops didn't figure out who Cary's assailant was until after Nathan was killed -- they found evidence in Nathan's hotel room linking him to the assault.

someone needs to remind him of the meaning of the word truth.
