ZYRA. I was surprised to see we've had peace for a full week. Ree and Zaylen going on house tours because they plan on moving in together, Cariño and I doing everything except having sex, my mom going on dates with her man, the man not haunting anyone and, the court case being tomorrow. How fast time flies. It was quite a week, though; a good week. Well, I guess I spoke too soon because not only is the court case tomorrow, but the press somehow managed to find a picture of me to upload on the internet as 'Miss Zyra'. What perfect timing. "I think you look good." Ree is my biggest fan. "I know I look good." We laughed. "I just want to know how they got the picture." Genuinely. I can't remember having an old forgotten Instagram account; or any of the employees at the company uploading the video evidence they have of Mike, which Cariño already said not to; for the press to use to find me. It was odd. Regardless, I liked the picture. It brought out my

RYNNELLE. "Rynnelle give me my phone." She got up aggressively and charged towards me. Hell no. I move to my dad's side and look at her dead in the eye. "No." She paused. I was so fucking pissed off. "Since I came here, the only word you've said to me is my name. You haven't bothered to have a conversation with me considering you were the one who desperately wanted this bullshit of a dinner-" "Elle-" Dad shouldn't even try to speak. "Let me speak my peace." I returned to Bethany. "You've been on this phone since I got here, and I came here because I wanted us to have a normal mother and daughter's time. One I never had." She just ran her hands through her hair. I could tell that she's more stressed about her phone that I was with, rather than any other thing. "Rynnelle, I don't have time for this, give me my phone." I told y’all. She didn't give a damn about anything that I just said. She had also become very mean and angry, but I wa

RYNNELLE. After the events last night, all the gossip that came with Zee's return from her date. How they shared the most beautiful moments of their lives together, talking about different things and how they really like each other; it was my turn. It was finally here. The day I never wanted to come. The day I'd rescheduled so many times to never. I was going to see her today. My mother, and that was something I didn't want, but it had to happen.&

ARDYN. "You're so funny." She was. Extremely. I spent the next few minutes listening to her rant about so many things that I didn't even know about. For instance, her mom left New York because she was being stalked and threatened, and Princess had to go stay with Gold. I didn't even think about it when picking her up. I just thought she was tired of her apartment. "She's doing better now, right?" This means that the man was indeed close by. Close enough to get into my office. "I guess. We talked today and she's okay." "That's great." We finally got to the lounge. That wa

ZYRA. "Princess." He called out smiling. He looked so fine. "Cariño." Oh, we’re going to have a time tonight. "You look beautiful." "You do too baby." For the first time in a while, I walked to him and gave him a kiss. I was just too excited. "I can see you've planned a little something for me tonight." He was the funniest.

ZYRA. I put my mom on the phone immediately. I didn't want to think of anything else other than what this could mean. Did he find a new method? Was I going insane? Or was he closer than I thought? It could be either one of these things, or it could be all. "Mamá, literalmente me estoy volviendo loco (mom I'm literally going crazy.)" I didn't have time for the formalities. This was dead serious.
