Chapter Twenty-One

“Chloe.” I called and, hearing her voice from my office, headed there. “What are you doing here?” My voice faded off as I saw what she was holding. I grabbed the package of toy she had been opening, seeing the others that were already opened on the floor. “What is your problem?” I asked in fury.She continued staring at me wordlessly, and I dropped the package I’d collected from her. “Chloe.” “What is this? I’ve not heard from you in a few months, and now I’m seeing children’s toys in your house. Are you planning an orphanage visit?”I rolled my eyes at her sarcastic question. We had a team for things like that, and she was part of it so she definitely knew that wasn’t the case. “Why did you have to look through my things then? I’ve told you to stop it.”She crossed her arms and glared at me. “You keep on ignoring my calls. You don’t answer mom’s either. I’m worried about you and I want to know what’s going on in your life. The only way I can find that out is when I go through your t

Chapter Twenty-Two

“Mama, where’s Brent?” Avery said to me and I sighed. Brent had insisted they call him with his name even though I’d pointed how disrespectful it was, and I always got annoyed when they used his name.“We’ll find him. We need to get our baggage first.” I signed back and we headed towards baggage claim. Even though it was a three days trip that had been cut short by one day, I’d still had to take a box as my carry on wasn’t enough for three individuals. Weary from work and the thought that I would be on a plane back to California the next day, I needed my bed desperately, but that had to wait.Brent had texted that he wanted to pick us up from the airport as he’d missed the kids and having no sufficient excuse to say no, I’d agreed.“Hey.” Brent called, waving his hands, and the twins ran to him. Our box was already with him, which I was super grateful for.I walked slowly, the weariness almost enveloping me, and heard the last of Aiden’t recap of how much fun he’d had. “Really?” He a

Chapter Twenty-Three

PRISCILLA’S POVI rubbed my shaking hands on my thigh as the models were being made up and dressed. It was finally D-Day, and all the nerves I’d been feeling prior to this day had multiplied. I looked around for Carlie, surprised when she was nowhere to be found. The backstage was milling with models and designers screaming orders and last minute fixings.I saw my team and went to them. “Is everything ready?” I asked the stylists.One of the ladies who was working on a model turned to me. “What do we do? She has gained weight since our last fitting, so the cloth looks odd on her.” she complained, eyeing the dress that did look too small for her frame.I turned to the model who looked no older than seventeen years, who was sobbing and held back the anger that was burning in me. “What happened?” I asked her.“I’m so sorry.” She turned to an older woman who was probably her agent since the show had a rule on minors not appearing alone, who was looking disgusted and the woman, noticing my

Chapter Twenty-Four

PRISCILLA'S POVMy eyes were wide with shock and the tears that slowly poured out of it blurred my vision. What made it worse was the immense amount of embarrassment I felt as soon as I saw that Brent had appeared on stage, holding the microphone tightly in his hands.His eyes darted towards me momentarily before he tore them away and turned back to look at the judges."Look, there's been a mistake." He said over the microphone."I'm sorry sir, but I'm not sure you're meant to be here right now. I'll kindly advise that you leave the stage immediately or I will call security." The host, with her close-to-AI high pitched voice, threatened.All the while, as I stood there watching everything unfold before my eyes, I felt my heart sink deeper in my stomach and there was nothing I would have loved more than the earth opening up and swallowing me wholeMy gosh! Why is this happening now? This was so terrible and embarrassing. I didn't think I had ever faced this sort of embarrassment in my

Chapter Twenty-Five

PRISCILLA POVAs I walked out from the back dressing room, I was congratulated by a model who passed by.Her face was shining and a smile was plastered on her face as she engulfed me in a warm hug, "you did great out that." I smiled at her in response, "thank you very much." I said to her,"You're welcome." She replied and walked off backstage.I sighed and walked out of the hall, I shivered and goosebumps filled my skin in reaction to the cold air that was biting my skin as it whooshed passed me.I wrapped my arms around my upper part to try to keep the cold away. I was holding my bouquet in one hand and holding my trophy in the other as I walked to my car which was parked out front.I got to my car and wrapped my hand around the door's handle and moved to pull it open but another hand appeared from the side and closed it shut.My brows drew together in anger and as soon as my head came up, I had thought up some nasty things to say to the blockhead that saw it fit to prevent me from

Chapter Twenty-Six

BRENT POVI pushed open the door and walked in, I was met with my sister's worried face. She ran to the door as soon as I walked in,"Did you get it?" She asked me.I stretched my hand and gave her the paper bag I had packed her clothes in.She took it from me, clutched it to her chest and mouthed, "thank you.""Do you want to eat something?" She asked me,Why was she suddenly acting very nice towards me? She didn't seem to care earlier when I stepped out."No, I'm full." I replied to her.I looked behind her to the couch to see some of the kids play things, scattered all over the table, I returned my gaze to her, with one eyebrow arched high on my face as I gave her a questioning gaze, "and the kids?" I asked her.She turned back to look at the mess that was created on the table, "oh, they're fine. And they're gone already. A maid came by from their mom and took them home to her. You can call her to be sure of their arrival." She said,"Alright." I said and walked past her into the

Chapter Twenty-Seven

PRISCILLA'S POVThe elevator dinged, and I followed Brent down the hallway to his home, or should I say my former home? We'd had dinner and I wanted to pick the kids up from his place since they were with Salome. After the time Brent had kept them with her while he flew to California to help me, they'd been asking to stay with her again and so, I'd set it up when Brent offered to take me to dinner to celebrate something he still hadn’t told me.I entered the house and looked around, masking my emotions. It looked the same I'd left it. Looking at every painting and decoration was bringing memories I'd love to forget back to memory. I had decorated this house with Brent back when we realized we had fallen in love with each other.“What do you think? Doesn't the house look too empty for your taste?” Brent asked, caressing my hair.I nodded. “I thought you preferred things like this, since you weren't home often.” I looked into his eyes and smiled at the look of love I'd been unaware of t

Chapter Twenty-Eight

I remained rooted until I heard the footstep of someone approaching me. I shook my head again to get rid of the webs in my head and continued towards the living room with the intention of taking my kids and leaving. Suddenly, it didn’t sound safe for them to stay with Salome. “Mummy.” The twins called when they saw me, and they both ran to hug me. I bent down and held them tighter, allowing all my worries to fade at that moment. I looked up and smiled at them. “How was your day?” I asked and after about ten minutes of them describing how it had gone, using the word ‘Fun’ and ‘Amazing’ in almost all their sentences, they finally left to sit down and continue what they were doing. I stared at them, curious at what they were doing, and I smiled when I saw that they were both struggling with a rubix cube. I turned to Brent, who was giving me an amused look, and he shrugged playfully and patted the seat next to him. I shook my head and took the love seat that was next to him. “I thi

Chapter Twenty-Nine

PRISCILLA'S POVI sighed and looked across my office to where Carlie was meant to be seated. since I'd entered the office that morning, the atmosphere had been tense, which meant what she'd done had been the topic of discussion before I arrived. Since Carlie was no longer trustworthy enough to leave the company to, I had to travel here even more now.Someone knocked on my door and I quickly sat up, no point in giving my employees even more to talk about. it hadn't been a secret that we were very close. "Come in."The door opened, and my new secretary brought in a file. "I compiled the list of all the people that have offered interest in working with us and partnering with us after the show."I collected the file and looked through it. "Why wasn't it sectioned? These contain agencies, celebrities as well as prospective partners. How am I meant to sort them all if they aren't sorted?" I asked her, intentionally making my voice softer. I'd yelled at two of my employees since the day had

Chapter Thirty

Did she just use those three words together in the same sentence? That made perfect sense and made no sense at all at the same time. “What kind of tapes?” I asked, eyes wide open, fearing the answer.Carlie shrugged, pain filling her face. “What kind of tape would I have that can be used as blackmail material. Sexual tapes that I hope would never see the light of the day. ”I let out a loud expletive. “Did you agree to it? Don’t you know how dangerous it is? How often… how many do you have?” I asked, struggling to contain my fury. The next time her boyfriend and I unfortunately crossed path, I was going to kill him.She grabbed my hands and shook her head in response to my question. “It was a foolish mistake. I should have listened to you when you were worrying about me rather than getting angry. I found out a month ago that he had secretly been taking pictures and videos of me. What do I do?”I hugged her. “We’ll figure it out. Has he sold any of them or tried to threaten you with th
