Barbara:

“What in the hell is this?” I ask my chief advisor as he hands me the envelope with the Brookes crest on it.

He stares at me, like I am an idiot or something. “It’s an invitation from your son, Devon Brookes.”

“Step-son.” I correct him harshly, why does everyone seem to make this damn mistake? I did not give birth to Devon; he’s my fucking step-son, for goodness’ sake. I snatch the invitation from his hand before pursuing him away from my office. Ever since I got the message from Anna, she wouldn’t ever seem to leave me alone. Anytime my phone rings, I get a hypertensive feeling it’s her. So now, I am acting like a deranged old woman. I don’t leave the mansion anymore, everywhere is equipped with more security equipment and I doubled the agents all around the mansion.

I can’t afford taking any chances.

When my chief advisor leaves, I pull out the invitation letter from the envelope. It’s an invitation to a ball that’s hosted by my son, step-son, I mean. It’s to announce his

    Arya:Anna tricked us, yet again. Damn it, I should have known better than to trust her words, everyone is gathered outside the hall, clutching dearly to their loved ones. Let’s just say that everyone is in a bit of shock. 911 was called earlier by Leto, even though she didn’t want to include the police in everything.Well, anyway. They are here now with the ambulances. Two paramedics burst through the doors, pulling a stretcher, their faces blank with the kind of practiced calm you only see on people who have let their jobs take over their lives. Alisha looks smaller on the stretcher, her gown soaked in dark red. They wheel her towards the ambulance, she’s dead, they already confirmed it ten minutes ago.I watch as Jasper follows, his eyes are rimmed red, even though she never loved him, he loved her ever so passionately. He falls to his knees trying to hold her hand as they roll her away but Daphne holds him up, whispering. “It’s going to be okay.”Devon is by my side, “are you okay

    Anna:Theo is fucking everything up.Fuck, fuck, fuck. There he is on the stage, holding the microphone like he owns the world; everyone even has the audacity to keep quiet and listen to what he has to say. This is why I trust myself and myself only, also this is what happens when you put your trust on assholes like Theo Duncan, I should have known he was going to do this, I didn’t even know he was this soft.Nevertheless, whatever he has to say, I don’t care. Everyone dies today, except me. So fuck him. A waiter passes by and I take a glass of champagne from his tray, he doesn’t seem the least bit happy about it but that’s on him, he’s going to be nothing but chunks and bones later today.Alisha and her perfect husband, Jasper are just arriving, they are smiling for the camera. Seriously? Why did they show up?

The invitation says to come with a plus one and I am pretty sure Jasper is going to be my plus one.My heart is giddy like a teenager.

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Chapter 63:

    Anna: I feel fulfilled and accomplished, not that kind of fulfilled you get when you land yourself a killer job or you graduate college. It’s the type of fulfilled you get when you kill a multi-billionaire in his own villa and when you frame your best-friend for murder, I am sure the feeling is very rare, as many people hasn’t achieved this kind of fulfilment, but I have and it feels so fucking good. Right now, I am seated on the dining chair, waiting for Theo like the good girlfriend that I am, the table is filled with food ranging from Chinese food to American dishes...You can name it. The door opens and my ear perks. He’s here, my boyfriend is here, like a giddy teenager, I skip to the door hugging him as he enters, Theo looks tired today and I feel for him, well not exactly, the last thing I want him to do is get tired. Who’s going to cover up my petty crimes? “Hey, baby. You look tired, let me take your coat.” I say sweetly, removing the coat from his body, he nods his head w

    Devon: Arya’s parents left this morning, they seem really eager to leave and stay at the same time. If you ask me, I’ll say families are weird but they are also the greatest blessing one could ever ask, well except if you don’t count my crazy step-mother. Arya’s family all embraced me and her mother whispered into my ear. “We all love you.” And, to be honest, it felt really good hearing that. Presently, Daphne and I are in the funeral home for multi-billionaire Julian Ford, the media are speculating arson but there is still further investigation going on. I haven’t seen Alisha at all, but I can imagine what she’s going through. I know what it’s like to lose someone you are close to. That grief, I went through it and I don’t want to go through it again which is why I am trying my absolute best not to endanger my family in any way. I have responsibilities now.
