    "Let's call it a night, shall we? Besides I will like to know your more about your home," Priscilla said as she broke contact with Matteo."Out of curiosity or necessity?" Matteo asked suspiciously. He may have relinquished himself to her lead but he was still cautious of what she was capable of."Both, and we need to start packing for the family get together, it's sooner than you think," Priscilla responded. She gave him a knowing smile. With Priscilla, Matteo could never be sure if he could fully trust her or not. She was a living mystery. One move in the wrong direction and everything could get ruined. At the same time, the right move could get him everything he wanted. She had that much influence as well as power in her hands.

    Diana was silently fuming as the two women walked away from her and Nicholas. She was so mad at their audacity and how ridiculously unfair the whole thing was. She did not dispute the business acumen the slutty sisters possessed, she questioned their diligence and why their father helplessly indulged them."That was an experience I never thought I would ever have had," Nick quipped as he watched the women go in disbelief."Trust me. That makes two of us," Diana responded in turn.Nick turned to fully face her as he looked at her with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. Diana hoped she hadn't indirectly revealed her secrets during her banter with the ladies."Are you okay? You seemed quite angry throughout the conversation. Well if you can call whatever that was a conversation," Nick politely asked."They just got in the way of the contract! So yes I am upset," Diana exclaimed. She was tired all of a sudden and couldn't wait to go home."Oh. Don't let that get to you, it happens in o

    Priscilla had never felt so humiliated in her life. Sure, she had done her fair share of humiliating her enemies and sometimes friends but never had she been at the receiving end of it. She could not believe that Matteo would ever ask her to leave.It had been quite late when they had the spat and she had watched him drive away leaving her alone in the dark and empty street. She had to admit that she did not see this coming, but deep down she knew it was for the best. She grudgingly waited for her Uber, tapping her foot impatiently and contemplating what the future would hold. She was quiet through out the ride and would occasionally ignore the driver, lost in her thoughts. As they approached the mansion, she took a deep breath and prepared to face her uncertain future with Matteo. The grand entrance door opened and Priscilla stood at the threshold, waiting for her.

This was mostly because Nicholas was at the center of the matter.He had been bailed by Dr. Amorr and was sitting in her car. He had pretended to be so ashamed of himself when she had come for him but dropped the charade in the car."You can drop me off at home, thank you," Nicholas arrogantly said as he relaxed to rest his eyes.It had been a long day. He opened his eyes and stretched his tired muscles, feeling the tension slowly dissipate. He looked outside the window ignoring the driver who had earlier helped him."Welcome," Dr. Amorr abruptly interrupted his short sightseeing.Nicholas made to get down and hissed in pain.
