KACE’S POVWhen we were done eating lunch. Tess and I said goodbye to everyone at the table before we left the house and got into our car.I didn't know how to react to what transpired while we were at the manor. Something just didn't seem right with their sudden apologies and the way they apologized looked fake.What did they stand to achieve from this? My mother didn't even apologize to me; she only apologized to Tessa. Something is definitely up, I thought to myself as Tessa and I made our way to my car.When we sat on our seats and strapped our seat belts, Tessa and I turned to look at each other at the same time. “ I…. “ We said at the same time and I sighed.“ You go first, “ I said to her and she nodded.“ I think there's something fishy with the apology thing. Don't you think so? You had an unreadable expression on your face throughout when they were apologizing so I couldn't read you “ Tess said to me.To be honest I was tired of the constant quarrels between us and wanted a

KACE’S POVToday is Tessa’s graduation and also the day that Brandon is supposed to ask Bianca out in accordance with our plan. I was really tired and exhausted after we accompanied Nanny Agatha to the Airport.She nearly cut a cane and flogged us with it due to how angry she was. Her flight was slated for 7 am, but Tessa and I ended up waking up by 8:30 which if it wasn't for Nanny’s persistently ringing the doorbell we would have continued sleeping soundly.After we watched Nanny’s flight take off I was happy that I would go back home to sleep. I even called my secretary telling her to tell her I wouldn't be coming to work.But when we got home Tessa dragged me to go shopping for a dress that she would wear for her graduation ceremony.Worst of all, she refused to let me see it when she seized the dress at the boutique, claiming that she wanted me to remain curious.“ Good morning, “ Eliana said in a sing-song way when we went downstairs to welcome her after Lia, our house maid, inf

TESSA’S POVI had a positive feeling about our plan now and hoped nothing would disrupt it. Brandon tapped me lightly and I turned to look at him.“ Bianca is watching me right now, am I correct? “ Brandon asked without looking at me his eyes were on Principal Sanders who was on the stage.“ You are correct “ I answered and looked at the stage. I didn't want people to see me conversing with him, especially Bianca. It'll look suspicious.“ Then who is the other girl who has been stealing glances at me? “ Brandom asked again with his eyes still fixed on the stage. Unless one would look well before he or she would have been to see that Brandon and I were conversing.I wanted to ask him if he thinks I know everybody seated at this graduation for him to ask me such a question but I decided to hold my tongue since he was helping me. I turned to look around and saw it was Eliana.This girl wouldn't cease to amaze me. Our eyes met and I gestured for her to focus and stop ogling Brandon. She w

KACE’S POV“ Sir, you need to go to the office right away. I have spotted some unknown and unusual activities with the company’s transaction. One hundred billion dollars is missing from the company’s account “ Mrs Romero said with her voice laced with panic.“ What?!! “ He exclaimed with widened eyes and his hands that held the phone began to shake. My fears confirmed something was wrong.One hundred billion isn't a small amount of money to lose in a day, although our company is worth more than that, but still this is a bad sign.It's the same thing that happened to Tessa’s dad's company just like her mom explained to. We haven't even been able to figure that one out yet and now this one?Does this mean our company is on its way to bankruptcy? The thought alone made me jittery and my hands began to shake.“ What's wrong? “ Tessa asked me. I didn't know how to start. I suddenly became weak, I didn't even know how to begin to explain what has happened to her.“ Talk to me Kace!! What ha

TESSA POV“ Ace, are you insane? How dare you!! “ Drake yelled at Kace which made him stop on his track and turned to face them. I squinted my eyes and cursed knowing this won't end well because Drake chose a very wrong time to annoy Kace. This was the perfect instance of bad timing.“ Did you just talk to me? Now listen and good. The next time you try this you'll see what's gonna happen “ Kace warned Drake who scoffed in response.“ Kace listen to your father he…. “ My mother-in-law wanted to continue but was interrupted mid-sentence.“ I don’t want to hear anything you all have to say. Oh, you want to say something now but you couldn’t call to tell me this was going on. Huh “ Kace lashed out angrily with a raised voice.Kace’s Dad opened his mouth to say something but Kace stopped him.“ Save your explanations. I’ll figure out to solve this problem. That's all I do for this family anyway. Always trying to make you both proud but you never put my feelings into consideration “ Kace s
