CHAPTER 31: Imogen's deed.

SCARLETT'S POV I hummed about my room, as I dressed up for work. I wasn't styling my hair today, I'm letting it fall down my back in its shiny glossy glory. As Ashton already briefed me on the reason Chairman Kyle was at the company some days ago, I already understand the situation. Let me say this now; Imogen is so childish and immature. What does she think I am? Some idiot? Well, I'll just ignore this since its the first time but the next time she tries it, she'll definitely be hearing from me. About my ongoing task with Lexi, we were able to come up with an outstanding outcome from our research even though it was only yesterday. Given the speed we are moving at, I'd be done with the task in few more days. After staring at my reflection in my full length mirror, I smiled in satisfaction as I picked up my clutch bag and walked out.NARRATIVE Imogen was lying on her bed chatting with Yori as she cackled evilly in anticipation of seeing the result_which she believed wo

CHAPTER 32: Her scent lingered

NARRATIVEFLASHBACK "Imogen!" She stopped abruptly and turned on her heels back to Yori who was right behind her. "What?" She said, raising a brow in confusion. She couldn't understand why Yori had to stop her just when she was about walking out the door. "Just look what you almost did." Yori said, drawing her attention to her purse bag right on Scarlett's vanity. "Jeez! The fuck!" Imogen cursed as she hurriedly went back and picked it up. "I'd have been so damned if you hadn't seen this on time. Why do I keep fumbling?! I'm so glad you came in here with me, Yori." She said, looking around Scarlett's room once more to make sure she didn't forget anything else. "Look at me Yori, did I lose anything? Are my earrings intact? Is my necklace still on my neck? How about my bracelet?" She went on to look herself all over trying to make sure she left no clue in Scarlett's room while Yori gave her a bored look. "Can you stop being so dramatic?" Yori finally said, swatting her arm a litt

CHAPTER 33: Can't wait to meet her

HARRIET'S POV "What are you doing Ashton?" I said immediately he walked in my room after me. Initially, I had just stepped out of my room upstairs and was at the corridor when I heard and saw him talking so freely with Paige's daughter. Of course they are half-siblings but Ashton wasn't being smart as I had thought he would. I turned around and faced him in time to see the flustered expression on his face. "Don't you know? Your father has made her the acting CEO only few days now and you think it's fine?!" His flustered expression changed to that of awareness and guilt immediately. He knows! And he's still acting this way? "You didn't even let me know?! Aren't you aware all I've been doing is for your sake and Imogen's?!" "Mother, it's not a final decision yet. I believe Father didn't mean any harm, he probably just wants to broaden her knowledge a bit before he makes his final decision on who's going to be the next CEO. Besides, you have nothing to worry about. I'm F

CHAPTER 34: Father and Daughter

NARRATIVE "Amelia look, someone's here to see you." Amelia looked up from the pile of files on her desk, glanced briefly at her computer before trailing her gaze around the newsroom she was in. Her colleague, Lavender, sitting opposite smiled at her, tilting her head slightly to the side indicating that Amelia look behind her. On seeing her gesture, Amelia turned her gaze behind her only to see Susan grinning widely at her. "Susan! What a surprise girl, you didn't say you were coming over my office today." Amelia said, a pleased smile over her face. Susan's her good friend who works at the research department of JP's Enterprise, although she's a junior staff. Also, considering Amelia had visited her at the company not quite long ago, she didn't expect that Susan would check on her today. "Yeah," Susan sighed, pulling out a chair beside Amelia and sitting on it. She's a beautiful blonde with nice freckles. "What's wrong? You don't seem cheerful." Amelia noted.

CHAPTER 35: A reporter's instinct

NARRATIVE "Ms. Grey, your elder sister is with the Chairman at the moment. Do you want to proceed in unannounced or should I inform him of your presence?" Imogen cast a glance at her father's secretary, pausing briefly on her attempt towards the door. Each time she thought on checking on her Dad these days, it's either he's busy or Scarlett_her halfsister, had to be around. "Don't bother." She said, proceeding to opening the door and walking in. "Alright, Ms." The Secretary said just as the door closed after her. However, Imogen was stunned the moment she walked in and saw Scarlett and their father in such a lovely father to daughter mood. All her life, Imogen couldn't remember the last time she was in her father's arms like this. No, has she ever been in his arms before? Was she ever really accepted by him? Imogen had long yearned for her father's love right from her teenage till now. She had never seen him smile like this before_neither at her or at Ashton. It

CHAPTER 36: The broken daughter and her first love

NARRATIVE "Hey! Pour me another glass." The bar attendant stared at the beautiful lady in shock. This was her sixth bottle of beer and he was amazed she could hold her liquor to this moment. Though, she was now wasted as she sat slouched on her chair, leaning against the counter. Her eyes red and eyelids swollen while she battled with her lashes, to keep her eyes open. It was only natural that the bar attendant serve her as she'd requested, after all, she's only a customer and he, an attendant. He needed no one to tell him the identity of the drunk lady. She's Imogen Grey. The second daughter of the renowned Chairman Grey and twin sister to the handsome general manager of JP's Enterprise. However, the attendant couldn't help but wonder why she'd come to drink at the pub alone. It was unusual as she's a lady; a pretty one at that and it was a late at night. Although he could see a burly guard standing a little bit afar off, watching her. Notwithstanding, he gave her anothe

NARRATIVE "Sir Chairman, the young Miss is home now, her brother brought her back." "Okay." Jamie Grey said after hearing his subordinate's words over the phone. The moment he ended the call, Jamie let out a sigh as he stared from the patio of his private villa into the dark night. He had promised his eldest daughter_Heidi as he calls her, he'll be spending the night in the family's manor but now, Jamie wasn't willing to anymore. Not after his younger daughter cried yet again, because of him. He knew he'd receive the cold shoulder from the rest of the family_Heidi aside, should he go over tonight. His relationship with Imogen, his younger daughter wasn't always like this but it was all Harriet's fault. Imogen as a young child used to be smart and well behaved but as she grew older, her behaviors changed to the opposite.

CHAPTER 38: Gorgeous men

SCARLETT'S POV*Heidi, I'm sorry. I won't be coming home tonight* I sighed as I read through Dad's short text. Closing my eyes, I leaned back on the car seat as memories came to my mind. Memories of when I used to have dinner with just Mom(foster) and Skylar_since we were practically neighbors back home in Australia and ninety nine percent of the time, we spent the night at each other's place. Since I returned to my real family, I've not experienced a lovely family dinner like I once used to. I miss them so much. Lazily, I opened my eyes and glanced at my phone lying on my laps. I just talked with Skylar some minutes ago. If I should text her again, that wouldn't be bad right? I smiled and sat upright with such thoughts in mind. But on second thought, my smile left my face the moment I remembered I already talked about everything with her.But hello...I'm bored, so who cares? We can just have an emoji fight. Lol! I grinned as my excitement returned, glancing briefly out

CHAPTER 39: A glass of juice

NARRATIVE Like any other weekend in most wealthy homes, family members of the Grey's household were engaged in diverse individual activities of their choices. While Ashton was out with friends, Imogen still lay in bed sulking from the previous day's incident. Harriet had just stride out of her room but stopped right at the balcony, placing a hand on the railing as she stared with contempt at Scarlett_who was walking across the living room towards the family's music room. Her black hair was in a messy bun with several strands falling over her face and she's dressed in a big white round-neck shirt, dark-blue denim and fluffy white flip-flops. Scarlett didn't seem to notice anyone looking at her as she walked in high spirits, towards the music room. Briefly, she ran a hand over the exquisite piano in the living room before she walked off. Because she wanted a private time, she wasn't going to play piano at the living room. Harriet who'd been watching her all the while s

CHAPTER 40: Her mother's secret

NARRATIVE Cora smiled through the tears running down her cheeks in torrents, as she stared at the love letters she'd written since several years for Ashton but was rejected and sent back to her. She was sitting in her room chair, the pile of letters on the table before her. An ashtray nearby and a lighter on it. She hadn't taken up her window blinds, neither was the light turned on so her room was dark. Except for the small bedside lamp that she'd left on since the previous night. As Cora stared at her letters somberly, she finally came to a conclusion. She'd tried her best to win Ashton's love. She's been trying for several years now but her attempt never blossom even the smallest of result. Picking up several of the colored envelopes_which contained her numerous love letters to him, she lit up the lighter and slowly placed the yellow flame on the paper, holding it above the ashtray. And as she watched the flame consumed them to ash, she wiped her eyes_which doesn't se
