Chase's POVThe days have gone by fast. Today, I'm going to pick up my daughter and my wife from the hospital. I have learned my lesson and will never give Connor so much sweets again. When I reached my parents' house, they looked like they were just in World War Two. The poor servants looked tired. The gardener was still busy filling the hole that Connor dicked. Their house was in chaos. Connor was fast asleep. None of us wanted to wake him up, so we let him sleep until the following day. I just came from visiting Belinda and Bella. Connor's room was full of mud, but we were afraid to wake the little menace. We closed the door to the room and let him sleep. The following morning, Connor got up in an awful mood, like someone who had a hangover. I had to tell Belinda everything that night when Connor and I saw her and Bella. Belinda laughed at me and told me never to give him too much sweets again. I had to admit to her that we had to clean his room the following day and put him in a
Belinda's POVI knew my mother-in-law would not leave it. I knew she would plan a surprise party for us to come home. So I am prepared. Little Bella and I are dressed in pink, and Connor looks glad to see us. He comes running to us. However, he is cautious around his little sister. It is like he is half afraid of her getting hurt. He just hugged my legs and let his father pick him up so he could kiss his little sister hello. He's cautious when he kisses her. She looks so tiny. And I know that he is afraid that he will hurt her. Connor will never hurt anybody. He may have hit a child at school, but that child was looking for trouble with him. He will only do it in self-defense. He has been trained from a very young time to defend himself. I was always worried that somebody wanted to pick on him or kidnap him. And that is why I let him take jujitsu classes from a young age. I wanted him to be able to defend himself in case somebody tried to grab him. Little Bella will do the same. I kno
Belinda's POVI cannot believe how fast the years have gone by. It is the last year of Conner's school. He still has his old friends from when they started going to school together. He and Eva are in a relationship. Norma is still the snob she used to be. She always looks down on Eva. However, she is furious when Eva gets a scholarship and she does not. Norma is always trying to make trouble between Connor and Eva. I let my children sort out their things. Bella is more of a bookworm and likes to study constantly. We did not have any other children, although I wanted more children. Chase and I decided that two children were enough. They were keeping us very busy when they were younger. Connor and Chase are very protective of Bella. Bella is still young. She is only thirteen. She's not interested in boys at this stage of her life and would rather spend time on the Internet playing games. And study, of course. She has already decided to become a lawyer like her mother and grandmother.On
Connor's POVThe party and graduation went well yesterday. However, my eyes opened to Eva last night. Eva was never catty. She was always a brilliant young lady who was quiet and clever but became a little snobbish since she got the scholarship. I couldn't believe it was the same girl I grew up with. Last night she was bitchy to some of our old friends. She acted like she was already a doctor. I will have to talk to her about it because I wouldn't say I like her new behavior. I do not know if I like this new Eva. However, I'm not going to think about it today. I want to go and see my new apartment. My parents have both for me and have given me an allowance to buy all the furniture I want. I can't wait to show it to Jimmy and Eva. I'm sure they will be happy for me. I also could have gotten a scholarship, but I refused it because my parents have enough money to pay for my studies, and I feel that the children who do not have enough money should get the scholarships.My parents went and
Norma's POVI know everybody sees me as a bully. Everybody thinks I am jealous of Eva. Nobody knows about the sadness I carry around in me. Nobody knows about the pressure my parents put on me. I don't care about me. Nobody does. I've always lived with servants while my parents went up partying. My mother only had time for me when I had to practice for the one-after-the-other beauty contest. They were so mad at me when I did not get a scholarship. I just couldn't fit in everything that I had to do. My mom was angry at me because I was not the head cheerleader. They bought me a car when I was sixteen. It was a pink Porsche. I didn't want it. I didn't want to be noticed all the time. The more I got noticed, the more I had to act the role of being happy. I was even my daddy's little princess. I was never my mom's best friend. They were shouting and screaming at each other the whole day. And if they couldn't take it out on each other, they would take it out on me. I could never make real
Eva's POV I don't get to do wealthy children whose parents care about them all the time. Why would Connor rub his new apartment in the faces of Jimmy and me? I thought it was different, but he always bragged about everything he gets. He thinks he shares it with his friends, but I don't believe so. I think that he is just showing off like the rest of the rich children. And I can no longer see him. He's just like the rest of them. He will fit better with somebody like Norma. She will be thrilled to see his new apartment and wear her beautiful dresses when they go out. I do not believe in love. I have seen how my parents acted not only to each other but also to their new partners. There is no such thing as love. I want to become a doctor. I want to become an independent woman to buy the stuff Connor and his wealthy friends get for free. I know a lot of people think that I am jealous, but I'm not jealous. I do not care what the wealthy people have in this town. All I know is I wanted some
Norma's POVWell, tonight, I saw just a waiter in this diner. I am happy that I got the job so quickly. I hope that I can find a cheap place to stay. I took my laptop with me. I don't think my parents will care. They never cared about anything I did. They did not care that I had good grades in school. To them, it was not good enough. Nothing I ever did was good enough for them. I always had to be number one. I walked out and started cleaning the tables in the section the manager gave me. That is when I saw Eva and my heart fell in my shoes. She always pretended to be this little angel in front of Connor and everyone else. She always pretended that I was the one who bullied her. And in the beginning, it was true. But later on, she would get me around the corner and tell me that I was not worthy of Connor and that he would never look at me because he would always be in love with her. After all, she was more type and not me. She knew I was in love with Connor. She never told him because
Connor's POVI do not know where Jimmy went, but when he got back, he looked angry. I can see that he is very disappointed. And I understand that he must have gone and confronted Eva. To my surprise, I'm not very upset that we broke up. I saw it's coming a long time because Eva was changing overtime. It was like she was thinking that she was better than everyone else. I am not very thrilled about it, but what can I do? I always loved Eva, but more like a sister than a girlfriend. Eva was always jealous of the children whose parents cared about them and would vent her frustrations on Norma. Norma has gone quiet over the last few years. She had a few mean girlfriends but hadn't been friends with them the previous couple of months and was always sitting by herself. She always looked sad. But if somebody tried to talk to her, she was bitchy and drove them away.On prom night, she came with Johnny, one of our friends, and she looked like a beauty queen with too much makeup and a pageant ha
