Blakeley finally picked the outfit she felt comfortable with after going through her closet for minutes.

She wore a pair of jeans, and a crop top and matched it with a jacket and black sneakers.

She doubted if it was okay but after so much thought, she decided to go with it. She packed her hair into a bun, picked up her phone then walked out of her room.

She got down the stairs and met Alex in the living room, she was glad he was still around, she thought he left immediately.

“Alex.” She called and rushed to him. He was dressed for work but he was going through a file.

He gave her a questioning look.

“I am meeting your mother so you should know what she likes. Is this outfit okay?” She asked, looking worried and Alex trailed his eyes on her outfit.

“It's fine.” He replied and she smiled.

“For real?” She giggled and Alex ignored her childish act. Logan walked to them and bowed.

“Good morning ma’am. You haven't had breakfast yet.”

“Oh, I am not hungry.” She replied and Logan glance

    ‘She knows?’ Blakeley thought. Cassie walked back into the living room and saw Blakeley looking lost.“Blakeley,” Cassie called and Blakeley smiled at her.“Yes?”“Are you guys ready?” She asked and Blakeley nodded in response, they all stood up and walked out of the house. Cassie noticed the tension between Emily and Blakeley and she wondered what was going on.“Where should we show her first?” Cassie asked Emily.“The mall. How about that? I bet you will be impressed by the things at the mall.” Emily told Blakeley and she rolled her eyes. She muttered a curse word and Cassie sighed as they entered the car.Throughout the drive, Blakeley didn't say a word, all she did was look out the window and think of how Emily found out and the consequences. “We are here.” Cassie said as they arrived in front of the mall. They all got down and walked into the mall. The employees around recognised them immediately and led them to a private section for shopping in the mall.They got there and Blak

    “What?” Blakeley asked. “Sign here, and here.” Alex said and handed her a pen then pointed at the spots she would sign. Blakeley was too stunned to speak or do anything, all she did was stare at Alex. She felt her heart race in excitement and joy and also fear. Tears clouded her eyes and burst into tears. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Alex scoffed. Blakeley turned away from Alex and tried to control her tears. “It needs your signature, not your tears.” Alex said and she sniffed, she wiped her tears and turned to him, she took the pen and as she signed the spots her signatures were needed, tears welled up in her eyes again. She signed them and handed them back to Alex, the tear rolled down her cheeks and she sniffed. “Thank you, thank you so much.” She cried and he rolled his eyes. “That isn't necessary, I am only keeping to my terms of the agreement.” Alex replied and brought out a phone. “Here, stop crying.

    Blakeley stared at the meals on the table with a broken heart, she knew making him a meal wasn't a huge way of appreciating what he did but she wanted to try. “But they aren't so bad.” She muttered as tears welled up in the corner of her eyes, she slowly picked out of the fries on a plate and ate it. She sniffed as the tears rolled down, she felt embarrassed and heartbroken. With a heavy heart, Blakeley managed to eat a little and walk out of the dining room, she already stopped crying but still felt sad. She decided to ignore what Alex said to her. She wouldn't let him ruin her day, so far, it has been the best day of her life.She walked up the stairs and headed to her room to have a good night's rest.

    “How rich was your ex-fiance?”“Huh?” Blakeley asked, confused.“Answer the question.” “Hmm, I don't know but he was quite wealthy.” “Okay.” He replied and ended the call. Blakeley thought about why Alex suddenly questioned her about her ex-fiance. Out of curiosity, Blakeley looked at the map displayed in the car, she didn't understand and she decided to question the chauffeur.“Excuse me.” She called getting his attention.“Yes ma’am?” “Where are we heading to?”“I am not allowed to say ma’am but I can assure you that you are safe. I am just following the orders of Mr. Xanders.” He replied and she sighed. She fell back on the car seat and sighed.Blakeley stared at her phone as she expected another call from Alex but she got none. After a few minutes of being on the road, the car pulled over in front of a building and Blakeley looked around. The area was quiet and the environment looked weird.“We are here ma’am.” The chauffeur said and Blakeley looked at the building again. It w

    “Just shut up and let’s get this over with.” Alex said and moved closer to Blakeley and the men.They both watched as Blakeley questioned the men in Spanish, after a while, they got the answers they wanted and Blakeley felt happy.“What else can I help you guys with?” She asked excitedly as she stood in front of Alex and Scott.“Nothing, let’s go.” Alex said and held her hand, he pulled her out of the room.They both walked together down the hallway, they were about to get to the stairs when they heard a gunshot. Blakeley froze and turned to the direction they came from.“Di… did you hear that?” She asked Alex in fear.“Let’s go.” He muttered and pulled her up the stairs, she kept glancing at the place as they headed out. Blakeley thought about what could happen and she couldn't help but worry if Scott was okay.“Is Scott okay? Shouldn't you check up on him? You heard the gunshot right?” She asked worriedly as they got out of the building but Alex ignored her. “Get in the car.” He o

    Blakeley took her time in the bathroom to calm herself, she didn't want to be bothered about the fact that Alex left her with his family to meet a lady. She spent close to half an hour in the restroom. She wasn't vibing with them anyway so there was no point rushing to go back to them. She was starting to get exhausted and she decided to leave. She walked out of the restroom and bumped into Dante, her phone fell to the floor and he bent to pick it up.“I am so sorry.” She apologised and Dante chuckled as he stood properly and handed her the phone.“It's fine. I was the one that bumped into you.” He said and she nodded.“You were in the bathroom for a long time. Are you okay?” He asked and she smiled.“Yeah, of course. I just wanted to clear my head.“Well, okay. I haven't really gotten to welcome you into the family properly, its... ““Oh, it's fine.

    “Why am I feeling this way?” Blakeley muttered. She took in a deep breath and placed her hands on her cheeks. She tried to calm herself.“Okay.” She breathed out and walked into the dining room, she met Scott and Alex eating already and she slowly took a seat next to Scott.As she sat down, Scott smiled at her and she looked away shyly. She stared at the meal and noticed they were having meatballs and pasta. The pasta was unique compared to the one she prepared the other day for Alex.No doubt he was upset. She started eating and the meatballs were a little big for her. Scott noticed this and he gulped a glass of water before turning to her.“Should I cut them up for you?” She asked and she blinked, she turned to Alex to see if he was paying attention to them but he wasn't, he was focused on his food. She turned back to Scott and smiled shyly.“Hmm… yeah, sure.” She replied and he cut the meatballs for her.“Thank you.” She muttered and continued with her meal. As she ate, she noticed

Cassie already had the pills with her.

Aren't they yours too?” “No, I’m their cousin. I just came to spend a while with them. My parents are going through something and I don't want to be a part of it.” “Oh, that makes sense.” She muttered and Cassie giggled, Blakeley also joined her. “Oh my God.” Cassie suddenly gasped and stopped giggling.“W

    “What do you mean? In a bad way or in a good way? You still want to have your revenge?” Bryan asked but he ignored their question. “Make yourselves comfortable and Bryar. I changed my mind, you are not going for the shoot.” He said and she gasped and frowned.“But… but there will be a lot of cute guys there.”“More reasons you shouldn't go.” Bryan said and she groaned.“Ugh! What the fuck is your problem? Why don't you just let me be with just one boy? You keep beating up every guy that asks me out, yet you have girlfriends. Will I end up dating you?” She asked and he rolled his eyes.“You are fucking dumb and gullible Bryar. Just sweet words get to you and you give everybody a chance in your life. Trust me, if you weren't my sister, I would have broken your heart a million times.
