Following Sally and James Chesterson leaving their daughter Stella Roth in Riverblossom Hills with their careers as Celebrity Chefs they had left the Llama's and were hired by Valentine Monty of the hit rock band Valentine and the Monotones to be his personal chefs in his entourage. This was exciting to both Sally and James a new adventure for them and new people to meet. The Monty's had set the Chesterson's up with a very comfortable home with what seemed like an unending bankroll. Upon their arrival they were greeted by some of the locals. It was through Tatianna Summerdream that they learned of the feud between the Monty's and the Capps. And it was the job of the Summerdreams and the Gossemer's to keep them on track. Apparently it all began when brothers Antonio and Claudio were working as prep cooks in one of 10 businesses that the Capps owned. The business were initially started by Contessa's parent's Octavius and Scribonia Capp and was the primary source of the family's vast fortune after a poor review and service it forced the chain of restaurants to close along with the fortune. This sent Consort's wife Contessa into Aspiration failure and she was sent to the SimPE institute for evaluation and a prolonged stay. Blaming the Monty brother's and family was the only thing left for Consort. Thus the feud begins. It is my family as well as my boyfriend Oberon's family to keep the order within the community within the families. Sally and James looked at one another and thought this is going to be be one interesting place to live.
Onto a visit with the Monty's where Patrizio and Isabella are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their parents . Valentine and Sylvia Monty have been on a world wide tour with Valentine's band the Monotones and are looking to settle back down in Veronaville while Isabella's parents were living rather comfortably in Monte Vista , looking to open another branch of his Architectural firm in Veronaville Vincentio and Francisca found their way to the compound as well. What an evening it was with the arrivals why even Claudio and his wife Olivia came home from SimPE's school of Culinary Skills. Claudio had been sent there after being fired from The Capps restaurant his wife Olivia had accompanied him leaving their boys Mercutio and Romeo in the care of his parents. The festivities through out the night and into the next day and to everyone's surprise Bianca had returned from Simbin boarding school ready to take on Private School in Veronaville. Claudio bid adieu and took his wife and boys to their new home next door to his parents.
Using his power of persuasion Vincentio persuaded Patrizio to come work for him . For Patrizio this was going to be a hard decision because it was assumed that after his father's return that he would go back to being his personal Chef. Not wanting to cause any kind of riff within the family Patrizio turned to the one person that he trusted as much as his wife and that was his mother. Silvia thought that it would be a perfect idea because if he did then they could merge her Architectural firm with Vincentio's and this would surely increase the Monty empire. Valentine gave Patrizio his approval to go to work for the newly formed company Monty & Pantelone because now Valentine had not only his grandsons Claudio and Antonio in his employ but also the Chestersons. So with his father's blessing Patrizio went to work for this mother and father in law's firm.
Valentine and Silvia settled into the compound it was so wonderful to be meeting her grandchildren Antonio, Claudio and Bianca and great grandchildren Benedick, Beatrice, Mercutio and Romeo. Oh how Romeo looks just like Valentine and Mercutio bears a striking resemblance to her. It was after Silvia 's business merger with Vincentio went through Silvia found herself expecting. Feeling a little uncertain as to how Valentine would feel but to her surprise he was excited as well. Valentine could not wait to get back to Veronaville and to visit some of his old favorite haunts like the gym in Bluewater Village. Remembering way back when he used to score all the times with the ladies wondering if he still had “it “ he went down there to do a little workout. As far as still having it, boy did he still have it women swooning all over him like bees to honey. Did he score he absolutely did with a woman named Emma Contrary when she asked for an autograph. Valentine has learned that there is a drawback to being a celebrity and that is stalkers! Currently Valentine is being stalked by Maria Arlecchino his grandson's wife's mother. Valentine has realized that this can get dangerous but by all means he is enjoying the added attention of another woman.
Vincentio and Francisca were elated that he and Silvia merged their Architectural firms together he could handle the residential division and she could oversee the commercial division making. It was a sweet deal not only was he able to recruit his son in law but also his granddaughter Bianca. . He promised her that after college she would have a place within the company and you may never know Bianca I just may leave my half to you! Francisca overjoyed with being reunited with her daughter she had missed so much! This starts to make her long for another child.
Yes Patrizio had an affair with Contessa Capp and yes it did end badly. Left with a broken heart and a hatred for Contessa's other suitor Consort Thebe , what made matters worse was that he and Consort were BFF's and business partners in which Consort undermined him then fired him. Isabella Pantalone had a crush on him since grade school was there for him in his aspiration failure. Soon the crush turned to love for both and soon they married. Soon they were blessed with children first Antonio then came Claudio and soon there was Bianca. Both boys wanted to go into the Culinary field and were employed by Consort and Contessa Capp. . It wasn't their fault that the food critic ordered something off the menu and they did try their best to prepare the difficult meal and the restaurant got a bad review. Well the restaurant did close and it did put the Capps into financial ruin as well as put Contessa into Apiration Failure to the point where she had to be hospitalized. The blame could not solely be put on her precious boys! Before retribution could occur by the Capps Patrizio and Isabella sent the boys to cooking schools Antonio went to the SimBin Academy of Cooking while Claudio went to the SimPE Academy of Cooking. All the while Bianca was attending the Simbin Boarding school. Both boys had married in their teens to Patrizio and Isabella's dismay. Antonio took his wife Hero and their children to the Simbin Academy while Claudio and his wife Olivia left the boys with Isabella and Patrizio.
Antonio had been left with his children Benedick and Beatrice while he was attending culinary school while his wife Hero was with her parents the Arlecchino 's in Monte Vista. When Antonio received the invitation for the reunion he just had to attend. He made a point of calling his parents to make sure that Hero got her's as welll. They had ensured him that they had. To everyone's surprise when Hero arrived she did not come alone she arrived with mother Maria. The reunion between Hero and the family she left behind was a joyous occasion one that she and Antonio decided to celebrate by renewing their vows at his Claudio's home. Soon there after Antonio, Hero and the twins Benedick and Beatrice moved into their own estate nearby. Ensuring that the twinsgot the proper education Antonio and Hero enrolled the twins in private school and Hero's mother Maria also moved in with her daughter and son in law.
Claudio and Olivia are expecting their third child with both boys in the same private school as Benedick and Beatrice , and Claudio 's career as Reatauranteur doing very well things couldn't get any better for the family. With the exception that a long distance phone call came from Olivia 's father Holofernes Dottore asking if he can come for a visit.

After the collapse of the family businesses and his wife in the psychiatric ward at SimPE. What was consort to do ? Aha he would arrange to marry off his daughters.

Albany can not bring himself to leave and find true love because according to the arrangement he is to stay married to Goneril til death...Of course that could come sooner than expected.....
The next arrangement that Consort made was for his second daughter Regan. Here again business came first and and arrangement was made between Consort and Hamlet Dane for their children Regan and Cornwall to be wedded.

As Cornwall went off to work for Consort as a Senior Manager at SimPE Regan was content in staying home for awhile with their twins Dane and Dana. At last we heard babies 3&4 are on their way!
Consort had been a little leery when he and Prospero Gale sat down to discuss arrangements between his daughter Cordelia and his son Caliban after all something had to be done. Especially when Cordelia was barely in her teens and expecting ! Before any arrangements could be finalized Cordelia gave birth to triplets Hermia, Tybalt and Juliet. Looking at the triplets, instead of feeling love and adoration for his children he took off for the Hills. Feeling quite embarrassed about the whole ordeal Prospero apologized to Consort for his son's behavior and thought that it would be the end of it but that's not how Consort conducts business.
It was after Prospero had left that Consort contacted his good friend Andrew Martin who recently moved to Veronaville . It was pretty hush hush what line of Business that Andrew was in he was apart of the Uberhood Crime family Veronaville division. When Consort discussed his problem of how Caliban and in his mind Prospero went back on their agreement and of how he wanted pay back. Andrew looked at his friend and told him that there was nothing to worry about that he would take care of things for a small fee. Consort paid the fee and waited.......
Such a sad day for Cordelia when she found out that her beau and father of her children disappeared .

This proved to be somewhat of a difficult task at first juggling school, homework cheerleading and toddler skilling all at the same time. But her brother Kent was there to help as well as Consort here and there . Her biggest supporter had always been her mother Contessa how she missed her and wanted to be able to sit down and hangout with her. Her chance had come the day the doctors released Contessa from the Psych ward of SimPE. When Contessa returned her memories were gone so Consort had began to woo her all over again and the children were supportive as well making sure not to overwhelm her with too much information. Soon scattered fragments began to come together and Contessa started to remember her family and Consort This had cummulated in a successful family reunion and Consort and her renwing their wedding vows.
