She had told Skylar about her relationship or situationship with Palo Bryant, and had also informed her foster mom of how Harriet had been keeping tabs on her secretly.

Unfortunately, Scarlett and Lexi weren't able to find any trace of anything illegal to Harriet yet. She was seemingly having a clean record. But Scarlett knew it wasn't true.

What she found out wasn't necessarily going to help her goals at the moment, as it seems Palo and Scarlett had something going already. "About KK, why do you think your father invited him over to dinner today?" Harriet asked her daughter and Imogen immediately knew the reason. "He seems to approve of Kyle and Scarlett being together," she replied thoughtfully. Harriet took a close look at her beautiful daughter and a thought occured to her. "Imogen, you like KK, don't you?" Imogen couldn't help but blush as she said. "It's quite obvious I do, mother. A lot." Her mother urgently continued. "Then you have to seduce him." Seeing how her daughter became stunned at her words, Harriet added. "We need

    NARRATIVE Tears ran down Paige's face as she stared weakly around the white painted room. She could hear the sounds of footsteps along the corridor she wouldn't be walking out to again, the bustling and honking sounds of vehicles along the streets fifteen floors down. She smiled tearingly when she felt Harriet's hand on her face, wiping away the tears with a little hanky in between her fingers. 'It's okay Paige, you have to stop crying,' Harriet said pitifully, using her free hand to wipe the tears rolling down her own cheeks. Paige sighed heavily, the pain from her earlier Ceasarean operation still hurt terribly. She smiled and placed a kiss one more time, on the forehead of her little treasure, the sleeping beauty cooed and stirred in Paige's arms and she couldn't withhold herself from letting out a pleased chuckle. Harriet beamed as she watch the adorable mother and daughter. 'She's so adorable and looks just like me, doesn't she?' Paige said, looking over at her best fr

    SCARLETT'S POV I nod in agreement as I tap my chin thoughtfully with my index finger while I listened to Sky go on and on about the places we would be touring during our stay in the city. She was reading from her phone over the list we've made from our inquiries about the city before we left home. We arrived Birmingham's airport few minutes ago after a few hours flight from Australia, Canberra's airport. Upon our arrival, the private uber we ordered was already waiting and without hesitation we hopped in and let him drive us through the streets of the beautiful city, to our already booked rotunda hotel. 'We'll also check out the famous birmingham canal, heard so much about it. I definitely can't afford to miss this opportunity of seeing it with my own eyes.' She said excitedly and I chuckled softly. 'You won't Sky, that's why we made a list. Besides, we've got a lot of time and money to check out every part of this city if we want to.' I said and she nodded quickly in agr

    SCARLETT'S POV I blink severally to ascertain I wasn't dreaming as I beheld the scene before my eyes. Walking down the hallway in the opposite direction was a gorgeous, breathtaking asian hunk. He was tall with a mass of jet black hair, his lips were red and his eyes, gosh! those eyes were the sexiest I've ever seen, his thick yet long lashes conceal his berg chocolate eyes. His legs were long and his hands were in his jean pockets as he walked. His unbuttoned shirt revealed his well defined abs, his perfectly proportioned muscles and his veins popping out close to his groin. He's the perfect definition of manliness in every aspect...I literally found myself swallowing. Jeez! I don't know him but for the first time in a long while, a male is having such effect on me.Sky was so lost in her ogling trance while she clinged unto my bicep. Jeez! This is so not me.

Today's the day she's anticipated for a long time but also the day in which her world might crumble or get in a better shape.

Her long black hair flying in the wind, her silver grey eyes were squinted and her thin naturally elevated brows were raised in surprise. Not forgetting her almond shaped eyes or her red plump lips or her prominent chin and well defined jawline. Everything about her, screamed Paige Grey! Even her Dolce & Gabbana flora print summer dress was similar to one of Paige's summer dress. It wasn't up to a minute before the entire crowd had noticed her and some courageous ones had began walking towards her while the local camera men that had accompanied the women to take shots of the event, all turned their attention to her as their camera's clicked and filmed.

    NARRATIVE Ashton and his friends were busy in the game room when Skylar brought in cakes for them to snack on. Skylar had made it herself with the assistance of a kitchen staff, of course, and wanted them to try it _ Ashton, mostly. "Enjoy," she whispered to him with a smile and his eyes didn't miss the deliberate wink she gave him and the fast manner she had bitten on her lips before she left. Skylar had made the cake most especially because of him, after learning that he loved eating cakes. And she sincerely hoped he liked it. At the sight of her, Ashton couldn't help lingering his gaze on her behind as she walked off, wishing he could grab those bouncy cheeks and also swat them as much as he needed, right now. If only he wasn't with people, he would have pulled her back in, shut the door after her and do so many dirty things to her that would leave her screaming his name only, around that seductive mouth of hers. But for the sake of their secret relationship,

Ever since the incident at the pool, we've been meeting every other night in secret.We just couldn't get enough of each other, and the more our secret sexual escapades occured, the more we both anticipated the next.
