“Ordeal” By Cheque

On September 2, 1903, Mr. and Mrs. Exeter welcomed their newborn baby. Lawrence

Exeter had named his son Lawrence Exeter Junior. Throughout the years, Junior was a spoiled

child. Growing up, Junior had gotten almost anything he wanted. When he was only 6 years old,

he was sent to Palisades School for Boys. Later on, when he grew up he was sent to Columbia

Military Academy. His parents had a rough time with him. He was not a good child. He got in

trouble a lot of times in school. One day, the teacher called Mr. and Mrs. Exeter because

something happened to Junior.

“ As you see, Mr. and Mrs. Exeter, Junior’s grades have been a whole lot better”,said

Ms. Windsor. “Junior has spend more time studying than doing anything else”

Mr. and Mrs. Exeter were so happy of him, that they bought him a Cadillac for his

eighteenth birthday. Four days later, Junior had a car crash. Junior was not injured but his car

was. The accident wasn’t his fault. Senior (known as his Junior’s dad) had known this would

happen, so he wasn’t shocked at all. A month later, Junior had gotten a letter from Stanford

University. He was accepted! Junior was speechless. His dream had come true. On October 15,

Junior was ready to go to college. He had gotten a chance to see Ms. Windsor. She was also a

student at Stanford University. Throughout the year, Junior and Ms. Windsor had become

closer. Junior at age 21 and Daisy Windsor at age 26 began to date. In 1903, Daisy’s family

needed help. They were without money. Junior decided to call his dad and ask him if he could

write a check for $25,000. His dad decided to pay that amount and also pay for anything else

they needed.

Three years later, Junior decided to propose to Daisy. He first began buying her flowers.

They both decided to buy land near the campus for their house. A month later, Junior had
bought a beautiful diamond ring for Daisy. But he had even a bigger surprise. He planned on

proposing to her on the trip to Hawaii. Senior had payed for the whole trip and he had even

rented them a hotel room!

On the second day on their Hawaiian trip, Junior had finally proposed! When Junior and

Daisy got back to Hollywood, they had a beautiful wedding. Daisy thought Junior was the most

wonderful husband. Junior had spoiled her so many times.

Two years later, Junior and Daisy had some financial problems. They were broke! Junior

had used all of his money for gambling. And now he was taking money from people but not

paying them back. Tony Spagoni was Junior’s best friend back in college. He was part of a

gang. Junior had borrowed money from Tony before and he still didn’t get it. Tony had a plan to

get him back but Junior had payed him.

One day Tony had a plan.

“Hey, Junior!”, he said. “If you want more money then join our gang” “We’ll help you pay

off your taxes”

Junior had thought about it and finally he decided to join. He needed money and this

was the only way he could get it.

Tony was just going to use him, to buy his wife a beautiful ring. Tony’s wife, Ms. Florie

Wentworth pretend to like Junior just for the money. Junior had fell in love again! He bought her

a ring and then gave her $50,000!

Daisy didn’t like that idea at all! Daisy had enough with him! Daisy and Junior had a

divorce. They went to court. Junior had to pay $5000 to Daisy, but that wasn’t enough for her.

Tony wanted more money from Junior. Tony and his friend Peter Ventizzi had gotten

what they wanted from Junior. They finally decided to tell Junior what they were doing.
 Junior was shocked! He decided to go to the police with this but then Peter said if he

doesn’t pay the money now, he will shot him. Junior was super scared. He started writing the

check quickly, but $25 wasn’t enough for Peter. Peter shot him two times and Tony and him ran

away. Junior was taken to the hospital. They had transferred Junior to Dr. David M.McCoy. The

doctor couldn’t do much and they next day Lawrence Exeter Junior was pronounced dead.
