"I swear to God, I can't stand mom anymore!" I hiss, angrily barging into Corey's room.
"Now, tell me why the hell you barged into my room and don't forget to explain to me why should I care about your problems with mom?" He asks in a mock annoyed tone and I huff at his childish behaviour.
"I'm not in the mood for your dumb questions Corey. I'm in a bad mood just in case you're too blind to notice and I'm here to vent." I point out in frustration.
"I don't think I'm the right person to vent with or throw tantrums with and just in case you don't remember or you're too stupid to realise it, I don't like you. I absolutely detest you and I could care less what goes on in your life." He replies and I chuckle.
"That is exactly why I'm here to hide out from mom cause I know this is the last place she'd think to look for me." I snap back at him and his facial expression turns sore.

REBECCA. I impatiently waits for my old friend to arrive to the restaurant where we agreed to meet.After years of trying to avoid each other at all cost, Anita finally decides to call me up to meet with her. The audacity of that crazy bitch to actually call me.She must think I'm still that fool that she had the effrontery to mess around with in the past but boy oh boy was she wrong about that. I am no longer the powerless side kick that I used to be and I'm most definitely not going to let her say whatever she pleased today and get away with it."Rebecca?" The familiar voice of Anita Helton calls out my name with a false smile plastered on her face."Annie darling!" I exclaim, faking excitement and walking towards her to pull her in for a brief hug. No matter how much we hated each other, we could not afford to let the world know that we do."How have you been?" She asks as we walks towards our ta

Gabrielle. Something fishy was happening with my mom and I could sense it.Normally, I tried as much as I could to avoid getting involved in mom's business and although I know just how callous she is, I most of the time pretend not to understand her and I play dumb whenever I overhear any of her confidential conversations.After the issue with Martin, mom had assured me that she would most definitely find all means to solve it and I could already imagine how she planned on doing so but as usual, I pretended to be clueless about it. A few days back, I had called Gabriella in order to find out if Martin had told her anything and she actually avoided talking about him but after a lot of persuasion from me, she eventually let the cat out of the bag and told me that he was involved in an accident that almost cost him his life and now, he's in a coma.I would be lying if I said I wasn't relieved to hear t

GABRIELLE.Right now, I'm depressed.I had a lot going through my mind at the same time and honestly, it's frustrating.For the past hour, I have been wanderings the streets of New York aimlessly, wearing nothing but sweatpants and an oversized cardigan that made me look like a middle aged woman. At this point, I could care less if anyone recognised and I doubt anyone sane would even think to assume it's me and not my always regular looking sister.Mom had tried to talk to me and manipulate me with her false tears over and over last night but eventually, she gave up when I angrily locked her out of my room.The fact that I realised all too late that I've always been just a tool to my mom, hurt my pride more than anything else cause I genuinely loved her and I was always happy that she had chosen me but it turns out, she always knew who the actual fool was between my sister and I and she decided that since I would do an

LIAM. Lunch with Ella's sister was partly cool. I mean, it's more than obvious that she's an obnoxious human being but she isn't exactly the empty head that I thought she was.As much as I hate comparing two different people, I must say that both girls are nothing alike at all.Elle, for starters, is basically only interested in things that involve making loads of money and being the centre of attention whilst doing it and she isn't exactly passionate about anything she does. When I tried talking to her as a fellow fashion company director, she basically shut me off and said that she never talks about her work outside work, except when necessary cause it bores her to death.Ella, on the other hand loved talking about her work. It's one of the many things that made me instantly attracted to her. There's so much passion in her voice whenever she talked about being a designer and whenever she talked about how she'd love f

GABRIELLE. Layla walks hurriedly into my office and with the look on her face, I had a feeling she was about to tell me something I wouldn't like very much."What is it Layla!" I snap harshly at her."I'm sorry to bother you miss but they're some strange men here to see you." She says, I frown."Strange men? Did they mention who they are or why they're here?" I ask."No, they didn't miss. They only asked to see you personally and they claim it's important." She replies and I contemplate on whether to let them in."You can let them in but make sure you're alert just in case." I tell her and she nods quickly before walking out briskly. Two large looking men walk into my office a few minutes later and I can most definitely confirm that I do not know who they are. They even seem pretty scary and they also had this dangerous aura around them coupled with the dark look on t

GABRIELLA. Days have passed since I found out about Martin transfering all his properties to me.I've been doing a lot of thinking and so many thoughts on what to do have popped in my head but I still don't know the exact steps to take. I already called Martin's family to inform them of his accident even though they had both disowned him as their child.His mother of course, like any good mother had paid him a visit almost immediately and it was more than obvious that she had missed him. What I can't understand is why she hasn't contacted him in years and why it had to take a tragic situation like this to finally make her come see him.His father, on the other hand, has not even shown his face here once. Martin already told me just how much of a hothead his father is but I honestly doubt that is a reasonable excuse not to see your son who is currently fighting for his life but oh well, his business. I'm not in any posi

GABRIELLA. I wipe my sweaty hands on my dress as I patiently waited for Liam to open the door. I can't exactly explain why I suddenly felt so sweaty but I knew for a fact that I was nervous as hell.It's been a while since I last saw him and I've really missed him so much. I felt a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach although I can't exactly pinpoint what it was. I wonder what he looks like now although I wasn't expecting much changes and I know I'm being a little dramatic and over the top by even wondering what he looks like now since I still saw him about a week ago but who knows, he could have decided to grow his beards or something so I can never be too sure.I was brought out of my reverie when the door flies open and there he was. The ever good looking Liam Helton was standing in front of me and my insides immediately started to heat up.The feelings I always had in me, the sweet and addictive

LIAM "Mom, you still haven't told me what you're doing here and why you're sitting so quietly," I said to my mom, who suddenly walked in here about ten minutes ago and still hasn't said a word. "This is my company Liam and I can walk into wherever I like, whenever I like," she retorted and I couldn't help but stare back at disdainfully. "Agreed mom, it's your company and there's no doubt about that but just a reminder this is my office and you can't just barge in here and not tell me exactly what brings you here in the first place," I snapped back at her, not exactly in the mood to deal with her tantrums today.

Gabrielle. I walked into the hotel with my head high, trying as much as I could to keep my face as expressionless as possible. I knew for a fact that my decision to come here was literally me walking straight into the lion's den but lately, I can't help but enjoy putting myself in difficult positions. I couldn't even bring myself to tell my mom about this cause I knew for a fact that she would try to talk me out of it by giving me a million reasons why it would be a bad idea and since I didn't really care much about her opinions anymore, I decided against letting her know anything. At the end of the day, even she would do exactly what I'm doing cause we're not that different after all. "Hi, good afternoon," I greeted the hotel receptionist with a small smile.

Gabriella. "Is everything okay Gaby?" Fabian asked worriedly. "Me? Of course, I am. Do I look like something's wrong with me?" I replied, staring back at him confusedly. "No, it's not Gaby. It's just, I'm worried about how you're holding up mentally. I mean come one dear, I know you and I know very well that you are acting like everything is okay with you but then with everything that's been happening around you lately, I know for a fact that it's affecting you mentally and I want you to know that you can always talk to me about anything and that I'll always be here for you when you need me," he replied and I sighed. Truth is, he isn't exactly wrong about everything not bei

Gabriella. FLAMES! That was all I could see right at this very moment. Everything around me spun around in 360° and my heart felt like it was just about to jump right out of my body. "Excuse me Sir, what's happening? How did this happen?" I could hear Liam faintly asking the people around but right after that, my eardrums started to feel like they were burning from the inside. I could neither hear or see anything aside from the terrible fire that the firefighters were trying so hard to put out. A few feet away from me was an ambulance that I suppose is here to carry Katherine's body away. Apparently, they found a gunshot wound to her stomach which means that definitely, her death is

Gabrielle. My eyes scanned the environment as soon as I parked my car and as much as I wasn't expecting anything worth looking at, I didn't expect the place to look so horrifying and disgusting. To think my silly rage and my thirst for revenge actually drove me here today just so I can personally teach that loud brat a lesson. "Doesn't exactly look like a palace, does it?" a familiar husky voice says suddenly and I turn around to see Chris, one of my mom's hitmen who I had the misfortune of having to inherit. "I wasn't exactly expecting to see a palace or anything but I'll be honest, it's worse than I thought," I confessed and he stared back at me coldly. "It's actually the most decent one we h

Gabriella. I paced around the living room impatiently as countless theories and possibilities started to flood my thoughts at once, making me feel slightly nauseous and nervous. I've been pretty restless for the last few days after noticing Liam's strange behaviour and as much as I don't want to admit it, I have a feeling I'm the reason he's suddenly being so off and distant. There's definitely something he's keeping from me and the fact that he wasn't sharing whatever it was that bothered him made me feel ten times worse and even if whatever he's going to say would hurt my feelings, I needed to know as soon as possible so I don't end up losing my mind over it. He normally used to come back home around 6pm but nowadays, he suddenly started to come home pretty late an

Gabrielle. "Do I really have to come with you?" Mia sulked for the umpteenth time, still trying to get out of coming with me to see Gabriella. "Yes, you have to come with me Mia and I already told you this a thousand times. I don't think I can go there by myself and I need you to help me keep up with the pretence," I respond, feeling sick and tired of having to repeat myself. "Why me though? You know I hate her just as much as you do!" she said and I scowled. "Really Mia? Really?" I asked and she rolled her eyes. "Okay, maybe not as much as you do but I still hate her and I'm not exactly the best at pretending. I don't even get

GABRIELLE. "She did what?" I ask in a sharp tone, staring at my mom with wide eyes. "You heard me right sweetie. Your stupid sister had the effrontery to visit Martin's dad and she even had the audacity to threaten him like the fool she is." Mom repeats herself and honestly, I'm surprised. I never would have imagined that Ella would be stupid enough to walk into the lion's den and even go as far as threatening the lion. Even I, would not do something so foolish. "Does that girl have any idea who David Deville is? Didn't she do her research?" I ask rhetorically, shaking my head at how terrible the consequences of her actions would be. Martin's dad is the complete opposite of Martin himself. While I'd say Martin is a big idiot who has no ambition and no sense of reasoning, his father would be the total opposite of that. Mr Devill

LIAM. "Stop staring at me like that." I hiss at Corey, who hasn't stop looking at me like I suddenly grew an extra head. "Why shouldn't I? Can't you see what's happening here? Mom called a family meeting, something she hasn't done in years just because of you. You really should be proud of yourself." He says, obviously trying to mock me. Mom had suddenly called yesterday and she asked that she wanted to meet with all five of us and it honestly had to be the most surprising thing ever because the last time she did something like this was the week dad died and for her to call this sort of gathering out of the blue means she's about to go off on someone and I have a feeling it's gonna be me. "Corey, Liam, not today." Tyler warns strictly. "Tell that to that idiot not me." I hiss under my breathe, earning a displeased look fr
