Jim found Peach screaming to somebody over the phone.He waited till she was done.“Hermione is having that Ellie case done again and she claims to have witnesses.And she is taking it to the press too.In three hours time,it will be public,”he said.“What witnesses?”Peach asked.“I don't know Peach.You told me your family took care of that groundsman.What did you do to him?”he asked.“We paid him well,he lives a good quiet life.All the other workers had left when we found Ellie.She is just bluffing, Hermione just wants us to be scared,”she said.“No,she is dead serious.You know she never bluffs.Peach we are fucked,I think I am just gonna confess when she takes proceeds with this,”he said.“Are you insane? Confess to what? If you confess you go to jail and I go to jail and my father goes to jail too.Then who will help Cami get out of jail.Who will take care of Cass? Jesus Jim don't you ever use that thing inside your head!”she said angrily.

Her heart was racing.She could hear the throbbing in her ears.A tug in her heart.A sickening feeling at the pit of her stomach.He moved closer to her,touching her hands.“Do not touch me,”she said.“Hun I was ju...”he was saying.“Noo.Shut up.I don't wanna hear it.Go.Leave.Right now.Just go,”she said her voice breaking. He held her tightly and at the moment he could feel her body vibrating with pain.Pain he had caused.Shaking.Trembling.He felt it and it broke his heart too.A mistake done out of anger.A moment of weakness.She tried to push him away.But she was too weak.From anger and pain and confusion.And he didn't know whether him staying holding her made things better or worse. She turned to face him.And this time in her eyes there was pure anger and hatred in her eyes.“I want you to leave my house right now.And don't ever come back here you selfish miserable looser,”she said viciously. He broke down to tears.“I
Hermione had filed for a divorce and opened up a case against Jim and Peach.She sat at the end of the bench waiting for her lawyer.She arrived in no time to brief her.Then Peach arrived.The woman had the guts to approach her."Hermione I am so sorry for the loss of your dau..."she was saying.Hermione stood up.She stopped her midsentece with a slap.Then she walked into court.She didn't want to engage in chitchat.She wanted them behind bars fast.Sooner or later proceedings began*****Hermione left the court room burning with anger.The system was corrupt.She had thought she could have them behind bars."Hermione I told you we should settle this outside court,"Jim said."You bribed the judges didn't you? You and your filthy money that you inherited from your parents.Our daughter is dead and you couldn't even give her justice?Jim why wou...,"she was saying."Can we go home love,I have had a very long day with your bitter ex wife,"Peach said.Hermione looked taken ab
16 years later"Do you want me to drive you to school?,"her mum asked."Muuuuuuum,noo,"Cheryl said."Okay just make sure you tell me how you find your first day of school, okay?"she said concern all over her face."Only if you promise you won't call every hour,"she said.Her mum smiled.She kissed her forehead."Have the best day hunnie,I love you,"she said."I love you too mum,bye,"she said.Cheryl Jones was the only child.They'd just moved back to her mum's hometown.Cheryl had been brought up by her mum only.She'd never asked about her dad.She got the feeling it was a painful story to her mum so she just avoided it completely.Besides she'd grown up spoilt and never lacked anything.What more could she ask for?She had large black eyes.Very dark long hair.She had the perfect skin.Very smooth,no acne,no dark spots.She had a few curves here and there.Not so bright but not so dumb either.She maintained average grades.This was her first time at N
Camila wasn't the jealous type.But she felt a little bit of something for this new girl.“Cami,did you hear what I just said?”Cass,her twin brother asked her.The two were almost inseparable.“Cass,I do not like this new bitch with her high sense of fashion.So I need you to seduce her so I can destroy her,”she said her eyes fixed on her new found rival.Usually she disliked Yvette.But this new girl, she definitely hated.She dared call her skirt not so fancy.Yet this was her favourite skirt, that's why she wore it on the first day of school. “No way I am doing that,”he said.Cami and Cass were twins.And while their personalities were so much alike there was alot they were different in.“I need you to do this for me.I don't know why but I feel threatened.In my territory.Please,”she said giving him that look that he couldn't say no to.“Okay okay but what do I gain by doing that?”he asked.“I am your twin,if I am happy then you are t
It was the second week of school and Cheryl loved her new school.Not all of it, she disliked Camilla who seemed to fight her every chance she got.Cassidy on the other hand was trying to win her for some reason.She and Winter had become best friends really fast. Everybody seemed scared of Camilla or to want to be atleast friends with her.Girls were drooling all over Cassidy.Not that she could blame them.He was very attractive,fit body and owned the school.They were walking to lunch with Winter when Cami blocked their entrance.“I see miss bookworms finally found a friend to keep,”she said.“What do you want miss what the hell is your name again?”Cheryl asked. “You bore me to death,Cheryl.Do shut up when I am not talking to you,”she said smiling sarcastically.Then she turned her attention to Winter.“I am inviting you to a party,in my house.And a seat at the hightable with us.Tonight.Invites only,”she said glaring at Che
Winter was so amazed at how big Cheryl's house was.She'd gone to some people's houses when tutoring them but this was by far the most fancy and biggest house she'd been in.Cheryl smiled,we're gonna be late for the party if you keep staring around like that,”she said.“Forget the party for a minute,your house is paradise.Why didn't you tell me you secretive bitch?”Winter asked awed by the sight.“Stoooop,lets go to my room.We really don't wanna be late for the party,”she said laughing starting to pull her to the staircase. “What party?”her mum said emerging.“Oooh hi Mrs.Jones,”Winter greated nervously.“Hi Winter,I am glad you came by.Now what party Cherry?”her mum asked again.“Mum you have got to stop calling me Cherry,I don't like it,”Cheryl complained Her mum smiled.“Honey,its an addictive behaviour.I need help to stop.Now for the love of God,what party?”she asked again.“Friends of ours are having a smal
As soon as they were inside Cami's house,which was very magnificent least to say,Cami herself was by their side in no time.“You look very beautiful tonight Winter.Kindly join us in the high table,”she said hugging her.Winter couldn't tell if it was genuine or just to piss off Cheryl. Then she turned to Cheryl.“I don't associate with your sense of fashion.And this is an invites only party and I do not recall inviting you.Don't make me kick you out,”she said.Cass came to the rescue.“Aren't you the most beautiful girl in this party tonight,”he said hugging Cheryl.Cami rolled her eyes.“Thank you handsome,”she replied.“She's with me Cami,I invited her and Winter,”he said.“I invited Winter not her.Lets go girl,”she said leading Winter away. “Cami can be an ass but I promise you she is sweet and an angel,”he said in her defence.“Where is all the fun you were talking about?”she asked in mockery.He took her hand and led

“What?”Hermione asked.“Yes.Why didn't you tell me?”he asked.He signalled for the bodyguards to leave.“Tell you what?”she asked.“About Cheryl,”he said.Whole time he didn't stop looking at her straight into her eyes.“What about my daughter?”she asked roughly.“She has hht,”he said.“Yes,so what?”she spat.“Hermione,the girl is sixteen.Exactly how long you've been away.And you know I have hht too,”he said.“What are you trying to say?”she asked taking a step back.“That Cheryl is my child, that's what I am trying to say,”he said sternly while taking a step forward.“What makes you think my child is your daughter?”she asked.“Stop playing dumb.I wanna be part of her life,”he said with finality.“The girl is mine,mine and mine alone Jim Brickley.Whatever nonese...”she was saying.“I don't believe you.She even has a bit of familiarity with Ellie,”he said.“Because they are both my children.They have my looks.I am issuing you with a lawsuit,I want you far away from me and
Cheryl ran to the Brickley's home.Peach got out angrily."You've got some nerve showing up here after everything.Aren't you supposed to be in hospital?"she asked."Please ma'am,I just wanna talk to Cass,"Cheryl said.Jim got out too."Peach,I'll handle this,"he said."I don't want you near my son or daughter or my home,do you understand me?"Peach said.Jim covered the rest of the distance between them."Cass isn't home yet.How are you feeling?"he asked.Peach rolled her eyes."I am okay,uuumh thanks,I'll go find him.Its aaah urgent,"she said stammering and rushed back into her taxi."That girl doesn't look any bit okay.I don't want her dying near my home,"Peach said."I am not sure Hermione knows she is out of hospital.I am following her and getting her home safely,"he said rushing in to get his car keys."Oh yes,any chance to see Hermione.She could be holding the gun ready to kill us all and you would still find any excuse to jus.. "she was saying."Last I checked, whatever Cheryl is suffering
One of the bodygusrds opened the door.“Ma'am I think you should read this,”he said handing her the newspaper.On the front page was her photo and the title‘Who Hermione Jones really is’.Hermione stood up.She read through it quickly.This was all Peach.She highlighted how she left town with nothing and came back years later rich and with an illegitimate daughter.The article claimed she had married an old money who died later and she took the money and came back home.The article also highlighted about how Cheryl had on several occasions attacked Cami.This was all Peach.“Whats going on?”Cheryl asked.“Uumh its nothing important.I'll get you discharged hunnie,”she said.Cheryl closed the door.“Mum I asked what the hell is going on,”she insisted.“Its nothing important baby,”she said.“Doesn't seem like it.Look at your face.I wanna know the truth and I wanna know right now,”she said.“The truth about what exactly Cherry?”she asked.“Why we came back to your hometown for start
Cheryl was getting better.She was very stable and awaiting the go-ahead to be discharged by the doctor.She was tired of just sitting in her room.She wanted to go out and take a walk.She stood up slowly and walked to the door.Hopefully her mum wouldn't be around to scold her or stop.She opened the door slowly and was shocked to find three very huge men outside.She was confused."Uuumh excuse me?"she said politely just as Winter arrived."Yes ma'am,"one of the guy said."Who are you?"she asked."We're your bodyguards ma'am.I am Richa..."he was saying."My what?!!"she asked shocked."Whats going on?"Winter asked."I think you have the wrong room maybe,"she said to them."Miss Jones,right?"the bodyguard asked."Yes,"she answered."Then we are in the right place.Your mum hired us to protect you,"he said."Protect me from what exactly?"she asked."Incase of any danger,"he explained."Thats kinda cool,"Winter said smiling.She looked at her sternly.She pulled her inside."You seem to be doing great,"Wint

Cheryl had being doing well.Hermione was talking to her doctor when Peach and two other people approached her.“What do you want Peach?”she asked.“You need to get your daughter out of this hospital,”she said.“Why would I do that?”she asked looking down upon her.“Because I am a shareholder of this hospital.This is the owner,my best friend.I can't have you here while you are suing my daughter,”she said.Hermione turned to the owner of the hospital.“I'll pay twice my bill,”she offered.“No thank you,I just want you out of my hospital,”she said. “I have paid my bills,you cannot just make me discharge her for no valid reason,”she said furiously.“Actually I can.This is a private hospital and I can decide if I want your money or not and I am saying I don't.You have two hours to get her out,”Peach said.Hermione looked at Peach sternly.The woman had a satisfied crooked smile.“You think you got one against me?”Hermione asked her.“I got your message from Ca
Peach's bail had just been paid.Jim sat next to her on the way home.There was awkward silence between them.The lawyer sat at the front seat driving them home."I have six charges against both of you.With either witnesses or strong evidence for each.And one murder case against you both,its looking especially bad for you Brickley,couple charges for bribery too,"he said."Murder,what do you mean murder.I have never killed anyone in my life,"Jim said angrily."There is a mix up,Cami is the one with attempted murder charges, attempted,"Peach clarified.They had gotten a new more experienced and better lawyer."Its murder for Ellie Brickley and Hermione Jones is the one opening the case again.She has two witnesses that were in the crime scene and evidence too,"he explained."Hermione!Fuck yes,this is all Hermione.All these charges,she is behind everything,its all her fault"Peach said.Jim sighed."Its not her fault, this is all Cami's fault and your fault,you infuriated her.Didn't she clea
