Chapter: Epilogue The soft sound of the ocean waves was the only thing I could hear. The sun was setting, and everything around me looked golden and calm. I stood by the edge of the yacht, letting the breeze run through my hair as I looked out at the view that was before me. The air felt fresh, and for the first time in a while, everything felt peaceful.Leon came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder and placed soft kisses there, making my heart feel full. “How are you feeling, my love?” he asked softly, his voice filled with warmth, causing a smile to spread across my face at the warmth of his voice “Light and free” I said simply, telling him exactly how I felt. “The air feels nice and clean” he laughed, taking in a deep breath“Tell me about it” I laughed, soaking in the sight that was in front of me.I felt free, like I could breathe properly again. I can’t remember the last time I ever felt that way, but it felt like a blessing to be able to feel a

Chapter: Jennifer POV IIJust like that I was locked up in a cell for days on end, they refused to grant me bail when I spoke to the police chief he made it known that there was nothing he could do and the bunch of lawyers I hired kept saying there was no way I could get out of it free, the evidence was not only concrete it was all over the press. If only I had seen that, I would have fled the country or found a way to get out of it, but I was caught red-handed and thrown behind bars with no regard. My shouts and threats shook no one, they all stared me down while laughing in my face.I was fucking helpless and I knew well enough who was behind it. If only I had taken care of him all those years ago, along with his pathetic mother, I wouldn’t be stuck in the mess I found myself in. That was the only thing I could find myself doing, reminiscing about what I could have done differently. All I really needed to do was to find a way to get out of fucking prison and end the son of a bitch with my own hands.“Hey, g

Chapter: Jennifer POV IJENNIFER It was just like every other day, nothing special. The only difference was that I was still nursing the sting of defeat, the shame of losing to Leon, even after all the things I did to get rid of him. I had tried so hard, fought in every way I could, but in the end, none of it worked. Still, that didn’t mean life was over.I wiped my hands clean of Ryan and anything that had to do with him. I didn’t want to be tied to his failure. He was a mess, and I wasn’t going to let him drag me down with him. I reminded myself that I was still the wife of Kane Valois, the founder of Valois Group. That title meant something. It carried weight and power, and no one could take that away from me, not even Leon. My plan was simple now just to walk in that name, carry it with pride, and leave Ryan far behind.He wasn’t worth the headache anymore. Just like his father always said, Ryan would never amount to anything. I spent so many years trying to prove Kane wrong, trying to shape Ryan into

Chapter: Amarie POV III rushed behind Kayla, taking a hold of her hand, but she yanked it away roughly and continued walking away“Honey, please,” I begged, rushing to stand in front of her“I don't want to hear anything let me fucking be” she hissed“Please, Kayla I can explain” I begged“Explain?” she scoffed“What could you possibly explain? You are a liar and a manipulator” she hissed“I am your mother” I sobbed“You are dead to me and I never want to have anything to do with you” she shoved me hard, almost making me fall to the ground before I caught myself“I didn't do anything wrong to you, I have never treated you badly!” I shouted after her“Every damn thing is your fault, not only did you come into my fathers life to use him. You birthed that evil bitch that ruined our lives and took everything from us” she cried as she spoke“It was my past, I made a mistake, I know but we have to stick together, I am still your mother,” I told her “Stop it! Stop! Fucking stop!” she screamed yanking her hair ti

Chapter: Amarie POV IAMARIEI was in the middle of trying to reason with Kayla when the call came in. A lot has been going on and the fact that I saw it coming but no one took my words for it now it has blown up in our face and I am still the only one having to run around trying to pay the bills and lawyer fees, I went on my both knees in front of my in-laws people that loathe me for getting married to their son but I went to them regardless to ask for help that was how helpless I was. They of course, reminded me how I was no good for their son, and if he had gotten married to a woman from a rich family, we wouldn’t be as stranded as we were and sadly enough they weren’t wrong.I have sold every penny left to my name and have even incurred debts in the process. Was anything even worth fighting for anymore? After paying exorbitant fees to expensive ass lawyers there was no assurance that my husband would go free without having to serve jail time. Kayla refused to be helpful, she chose to lie in bed all day

Chapter: Kayla POV(bonus chapter)KAYLA I couldn’t help it but rush after her as she rushed out of the house with so much urgency, something fishy was going on, and I needed to find out what it was about. I walked a few feet behind her and waited until she got into a cab before I did the same“Follow that cab,” I said to the driver as I slipped into the car“Where are you headed?” He asked like he was fucking deaf or something“I said follow the damn cab in front of you if you lose them it is over for you” I hissed not bothering look at his face“Go, go, go,” I hit the car seat angrily before he started to drive closely behind the cab my mom got intoAfter a long drive, the cab kept driving further and further into the city, At some point, it felt like we were just circling the same spot, but then finally it came to a stop in front of a hospital, which was really odd. I watched her get out of the car and into the hospital before I did the same“Hey! Where is my money!” The cab driver's voice called me back“Shit” I c

Chapter: Chapter 139“I thought they were friends?” “Who would blame her no one wants to be friends with a fraud and gold digger” “That means everything written was true” “Daughter of a gold digger” “You don't mean that” I whispered “I do, I mean every word that comes out of my mouth” “Kelsey!” May shouted and rushed towards her grabbing a fistful of her hair tightly “Let go of me” she tried to fight back but May was stronger and she dragged her to the middle of the hallway. I was still in a state of shock and could only watch without being able to say a word or move. I wanted to disappear or, better yet, be swallowed whole by the ground. People were pointing, and some had their phones out and were busy recording the chaos that had unfolded. The noise got louder and louder, making my ears hurt. I placed my hands over my ears to block the noise, but it didn't help. I wanted to run out, run away from the mess, but I couldn't bring myself to move. I crashed to the ground, squatted in th

Chapter: Chapter 138“Do you believe me now?” Dylan asked “What if-” “No more what if’s look at what is clearly in front of you and stop making fucking excuses for someone that smiles in your face and is plotting your demise behind your back you” Dylan cut May off sounding irritated and angry at the same time “This is a lot to take in” May breathed out “Why didn’t I know about this?” May asked, I didn’t respond, and turned around and began marching towards the school building “Where are you headed” I heard May ask behind me as she tried to catch up with me I walked into the hallway to see that school was already over and most people were just hanging around the hallway or walking out of their classrooms. I ignored the eyes that followed me and my eyes searched around for Kelsey. The walls were spinning around me and I couldn't see clearly but I kept on pushing, searching around the sea of people that surrounded me looking down at me like I had gone mad. Then our eyes met she was standing b

Chapter: Chapter 137“What are you trying to say?” My chest tightened as I asked “Don’t do that you know damn well what I’m trying to say” he stared at me like he was disappointed “I told you to hope you don’t regret your action and look it came back twice as hard” I could tell he was trying not to be harsh and raise his voice at me but he was struggling to do so “I don’t fucking know what you are talking about and you better stop your damn conspiracy!” I shot at him “This is no damn conspiracy you better believe it there is proof!” He shouted not able to contain his emotions anymore “Stop it” I placed my hand over my ears to block his voice “It is Kelsey who wrote the post both the note and the post,” he said “No” I shook my head violently trying to block out his voice but they kept creeping in “Listen to me” he grabbed both my shoulders in his hands “No it is a lie, Kelsey would never do that. She is my friend I talked to her about how I was feeling this morning” I cried heavily “Y

Chapter: Chapter 136“Look, look she is here” someone called the attention of their friend leaving me confused than ever “No wonder she got admitted into our school” “People like her just drain off people’s energy” Their whispers filled my ears and I just kept staring around utterly confused at what the hell was going on. “Why are you just coming to class now?” The teacher's voice rang through the classroom “I got excused to leave,” I told her “Take a seat then and stop disrupting my class” she sent me a stern glare I was about to take my seat when the door swung open and Dylan rushed in his eyes searching the classroom until they landed on me. “Come with me” he grabbed onto my hand “Why? Where?” I asked trying to free my hand from his grip but he held on tightly not letting go “Mr Lennox, we are in the middle of a class” the teacher warned “It is an emergency,” he said and with that, he yanked me out of the classroom “What the fuck is happening” I tried to release myse

Chapter: Chapter 135NOVA “Mom stop it,” I said through my teeth when she kept waving at Dylan “What? Can’t I say hi to your friend?” She asked as she got into the car “He isn’t my friend” I rolled my eyes at her “Really? More than friends then?” She asked “Can you stop” I shot an irritated look at her “Was he the one who dropped you off last night?” She kept pressing “Can we go already? Or I will leave” I groaned “Jeez fine” she laughed only irritating me even more “He is very handsome,” she said making me groan in frustration “Did you inform the school I had to leave in the middle of school to go shopping?” I asked in a sarcastic tone “Yes I filled out the necessary form don’t worry” she smiled “We haven’t had any mother-daughter outing in a long time. This should count as one” she nudged me but I just ignored her The driver drove while I was stuck in the back seat with her, she kept trying to bring up conversation and I either ignored her or gave one-line answers.

Chapter: Chapter 134DYLANI watched her walk towards her mom. Her mom stood beside a black sports car with a smile stretched across her lips even after seeing the frown on Nova’s face she still held the smile with her arms spread widely as she got closer. But Nova just walked past her and got into the car ignoring her hug.Her mom waved at me still wearing that same bright smile like nothing happened and then she got into the car. I stood there watching as they drove away, the sound of the tires fading slowly until they disappeared down the street. I found myself staring a little longer than I should have, not really at the car but at her and how different they looked from each other.Her mom had lighter features, soft blonde hair that almost glowed in the sun, and fair skin. Nova on the other hand was nothing like that. She had darker features, thick brown hair that always seemed to fall in her face, and her skin tanned like it had soaked up every ounce of the sun.It wasn’t strange though. It happened
