Kaylie was done eating. She moved to the sitting room, her feet crossed on each other with her back relaxed on the couch rest, and a toothpick in her mouth, still trying to take out the flesh stuck between her side teeth.

Gage’s room door opened and Richard pushed him out.

“Didn’t expect you're a perfect actress. You look timid, so my expectation wasn't high.”

Kaylie glanced at him and smiled. “A needle might be small, but it's not to be swallowed,” she said. “And the little I displayed is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Gage nodded, raising his nose. “Not bad.”

“Since when have you been watching?”

“Since when she started masking her evil while you're also deceitful,” he replied immediately. “I just stayed by so I could witness your capacity.”

“Okay, so, what's next? What do you think about my offer? Deal or no deal?” She asked.

Gage blew soft air through his mouth and went silent. He sighed again and lightly bit the left side of his lower lip. “Okay,” he said

    Sadie had been waiting for Kaylie to come out until she lost her patience. “What could they be discussing?” She wondered, staring at Gage’s room. She stood on her feet and tiptoed until she arrived in front of the room. She stood on her toes, trying to peep through the lens, but couldn't see through it. “If I can’t see it, why not hear it?” She rested her body on the door, her ear glued to it as if she wanted to enter through it. The door suddenly opened, Sadie’s leg slipped, and she fell to the ground. Kaylie’s eyes enlarged and her mouth widely opened, acting shocked. “Oh, my…” she toned and lengthened her hand to help her up. Sadie stood on her feet, staring downward, embarrassed. Kaylie cleaned Sadie’s dress as if there was dust on it. “Sorry, ma.” Sadie smiled insincerely. “Thanks.” She appreciated. Kaylie took her hand off Sadie and furrowed her brows. “But what are you doing here, ma?” She questioned. “I… hum… I was… actually…” Sadie stammered. “I was looking for yo

    Emily turned the lever, but the door was locked, so she took her hand off it and knocked. “Who’s there?” Kaylie asked. “It’s me, your mother.” Emily answered, and Kaylie scoffed. “Mother?!” She uttered in disbelief, raising her voice so Emily could hear her. Emily had always forbidden her from calling her mother, so why should she refer to herself as her mother? Especially since Kaylie had also told her not to refer to her as her daughter again. Kaylie removed the duvet from her body and turned off her phone screen before getting down from the bed. She walked to the door, and immediately as she opened it, Emily took a step forward to enter, but she jogged backward. “You can't come in,” she answered. “And why are you disturbing me early this morning?” Emily gritted her teeth, her mind boiling in rage. Kaylie's attitude had changed over the last few days and it got worse every day, always getting on her nerves, but since Andrew had warned her against retaliating, she always cont

    Richard parked in front of the biggest modern fashion designing company in the city- Om Kapoor, owned by an Indian lady, whose dresses were popular for being expensive and only patronized by the wealthy ones. Kaylie beamed, excited, knowing one of her long-time dreams was about to be fulfilled. She had always wanted a dress from this company, but Emily refused to get one during the first wedding, even though they could afford it. “Rukmini will attend to you. If you don't want her, let me know.” Gage let out without looking at her face. Kaylie swiftly shook her head. “I want her,” she said, raising her voice a little, unable to hide the excitement running through her. “I wish she would design my first wed-” Kaylie’s eyes widened at the realization that she was about to reveal too much. ‘Fuck!’ She said to herself, closing her eyes a little. Andrew had warned her that no one outside their family should know about her previous marriage, because it must be a secret if she wanted Jaxon

    ~Days later. ~Wedding day. “Wow, this looks great on you,” Emily complimented, her lips filled with a smile, holding the door, peeping inside the dressing room. Kaylie gave her a side stare. “What are you doing here?” She questioned. She didn't allow Emily and Wendy to come because she didn't want to see them around her. Emily ignored Kaylie’s rudeness. “They'll call the bride soon, and I'll work you down the aisle.” She informed, still maintaining her smile to be sincere. Kaylie scoffed. “Walk me down the aisle?” She repeated and scoffed. She slowly turned her neck until her face landed on Emily, asking, “do you think I'll allow that?” “If she doesn’t walk you down the aisle, who will?” Andrew's voice came walking towards them. Kaylie authoritatively lifted her brows. “Anyone else,” she gave an immediate response. “But can never be her, you, or your daughter.” Emily scoffed. “You may hate us, Kaylie, but you can't deny us. We're still your family.” “We're your parents, aren'

    ~In the evening. Kaylie’s heel resonated on the floor as she stepped out of the room into the parlor in an expensive green floor-length gown and a tiny diamond necklace on her neck. Her face was layered with powder that blended with her light skin, and pale pink lipstick complimented her soft, full pink lips. Her blonde hair was styled in a classic bun with a delicate silver hairpin placed in it. Sadie, in her knee-length gown, had been waiting for Kaylie. She couldn't enter the room since Gage was inside, so immediately, as Kaylie came out, she rushed to her front. “Wow!” She scanned her from head to toe. “This looks great on you,” she complimented. “Bryson chose the correct size.” “Oh,” Kaylie said, surprised. “Is the dress from him?” Sadie nodded. “Yes,” she confirmed, smiling. “He auctioned it. It's expensive, but he got it because he believes you're worth it.” Bryson entered. “Wow!” He uttered, looking at Kaylie. He rushed to her front and scanned her body before getting hi

    “No!” “I can’t!” “Never!” A voice woke Kaylie up from her sleep, and she quickly lifted her head from the pillow with a furrowed face. “Hun!” The room was dark, so she quickly turned on the light. She glanced at Gage next to her on the bed and saw him swiftly shaking his head with his eyes still closed, gripping the duvet, gritting his teeth. Her eyes widened in shock as she observed him for a few seconds. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked in a whisper. She watched him for another second, thinking he would stop, but he didn’t. “Gage…” she called in a low voice, still staring at him with confusion and shock, reflecting on her face. She stretched out her hand to touch him but reluctantly ceased and took her hand back. “Mom!” Gage continued shouting from his sleep with his eyes still closed. “Dad! Please, save me!” She watched him for another second until his forehead became wet with cold sweat. “Gage…” she called his name again, confused. She bent on her knees and tapped him l

    Kaylie stepped out of the bathroom and saw jewelry boxes on the floor and dresses on the bed, while Gage remained in the same spot where she had left him in his wheelchair next to the bed. She scanned the jewelry boxes, trying to count them with her eyes, but she couldn’t finish counting before she shifted her gaze to the dresses on the bed, and without bothering to count them, she shifted her gaze to him. “What’s this?” “Nothing much,” he answered in simplicity. He pointed to the boxes on the floor and the dresses on the bed, furthering, “just two dozen jewelry sets, and dozens of dresses. Auctioned from the same brand Bryson ordered the one that makes you see him as the best,” He looked at her face and chuckled. “But at prices higher than his. These dresses are special editions, with some having just two types and the highest products of such qualities are five,” he explained, trying to exaggerate to impress her. “And the interesting price is that you’ll be the only one with th

    “Oh.” Kaylie uttered as she shockingly stepped aside, avoiding bumping into Richard. He was holding Gage’s meal plates, packing them to the kitchen. Without glancing backward, she pointed in the kitchen direction, permitting, “Go first.” Richard curtsied his head. “Thanks, ma.” He said. He released the door lever and walked away in a hurry. After eyeing him until he reached the parlor, Kaylie took a soft breath. She entered the room and unlocked the door before slowly taking her steps toward Gage, sitting on the couch. Seeing her enter, Gage immediately looked away, staring to the left side, avoiding eye contact. “What exactly are you scared of?” She threw a question immediately as she arrived at his front, with a few gaps between them. He slowly turned his neck, and as his eyes landed on her body, he lifted his eyebrows twice before his gaze met hers. “What do you mean?” He asked, his face furrowed unclear. She exhaled softly, keeping her voice low. “I’m asking what you are afr

    “What’s the difference between here and the atrium?” Kaylie threw a question from behind, slowly taking her steps as she entered the atrium, lightly holding a glass of wine in her right hand.Gage glanced backward at her, and wihtotu saying a word, he escorted her with his eyes until she arrived befoer him.“You were angry because the host and your father lavished praises on Bryson, and left the hall all because you didn’t wnat to hear Bryson’s voice,” she let out, staring into his eyes. “Now, tell me. the hall is just a few steps away from here. isn’t his voice reaching ehre?”“It does,” he answered in simplicity. he avereted his gaze from her, staring at his front. “But I did the least I could. I can’t help hearing his voice since you insist I should say, but I’m not seeing his face,”“That’s the hardest to bear.”She shrugged, exhaling softly. she wore a smile and slightly bent her neck. “Anyway, thanks,” she appreciated.He gazed at her, and knowing what he would say, she instantl

    “Hello,” a smiling lady approached Kaylie. She arrived at their table, stood behind the chair next to Gage, and faced Kaylie, curtsying her head. Good afternoon, ma.”Kaylie slightly bent her neck. “Good afternoon.” She responded, her brow furrowed, staring at the lady with unfamiliarity, a welcoming beam slightly curled into her lips.“How’re you doing, ma?” The lady asked, and before Kaylie could utter a word, she chuckled lightly, saying, “it’s obvious you’re doing great, ma. Your expression says it all.”Kaylie beamed. “Thank you.” She said.“I’m Sofia, from Eon Lumina,” the lady introduced. She took out a business card from her purse, stretched it out to give Kaylie, and waited for Kaylie to skim through it before proceeding. “Eon Lumina is an upcoming modeling company.”Kaylie nodded, showing she was paying attention, even though her eyes were fixed on the card.“I’m the company representative.

    Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna.

    “Put me down.” Williams instructed.“Why?” Cohen questioned. “Don’t you want me to be your carrier anymore? Have I offended the young master?”“No,” Williams answered and explained. “You can’t enter the restroom with me on your shoulder. Except…”“Say no more…” Cohen uttered and instantly went to his knees.“What are you doing?” Williams with his eyebrows raised.“I’m doing all I can do to make it easy for the young master to get inside. I want you to comfortably enter the restroom without getting down from my shoulder, so I will crawl in,” Cohen explained.“Hun!” Williams exclaimed and tried to stop him. “Don’t do that.”Williams wanted to get down from his shoulder, but Cohen quickly crawled.“Gosh!” Williams sounded in disbelief. He glanced back at his mother’s face, expecting her to intervene, but seeing a smile on her face made him face his front and direct his words to Cohen. “Why will you do that?”“This is my duty…” Cohen uttered in a cool voice. “You’re my young master and as
