NARRATIVEIt was a solemn morning in the Grey's family manor for some reasons. Jamie Grey had yestereve, announced to his family members about his relationship with the lady at the canal. The twins had discovered to their consternation, that their father truly had another child aside them. Harriet was petrified as she couldn't understand how it all happened. She was even more uneasy as Jamie wasn't asking her any questions as to how or why she told him years ago that his child had died. Although burning with rage and dread within her, she tried to keep her cool. She knew Jamie was watching her now so she must ensure he finds no reason to suspect her and put her behind bars or take her away from her kids. They were everything to her. The reason why she was still alive and breathing fine. Imogen wasn't comfortable with the idea of having another family member, especially one from a different mother. As she felt she would have to compete for her father's love and attenti
NARRATIVE Ashton poured yet another content of champagne into his wine glass, ignoring the noise and chitchat going on around inside the bar. It was past noon and he had left the office to come cool his head after the unexpected turn of events at the company during the morning conference. He was reluctant about going home now because of the new family member that would be coming to the house during dinner. His hands caressed the wine glass and his green down-turned shaped eyes bore a distant look in them, as he leaned on the bar chair. His phone which was on silent mode, kept ringing consistently but he wasn't willing to answer the call. Even though it was an unknown number calling, he refused to pick up because he knew it was none other than Cora, his twin sister's best friend. The girl have been obsessed with him ever since they shared a kiss during a truth and dare game they played, when they were teenagers. Ashton was already tired of her, he's blocked her number alrea
SCARLETT'S POV 'Do you like it?' Dad asked immediately we walked in the amazingly furnished room. It was beautiful, exactly how I love my room to look. Sky would say it's girlie perfect. 'Yes Dad, it's perfect.' I said and he smiled. 'But if you don't mind, I'll like to stay in mom's room if it's still available.' I requested and Dad paused for a while. 'Alright Heidi, since that's what you want I'll have someone clean it up for you. You can rest here tonight. When your friend comes, this could be her room.' He said. Yup! I already talked about everything with Dad so don't be surprised. 'Thank you Dad. But by cleaning it up, hope you won't be moving her stuff? I'd love it the way she'd left it.' He smiled. 'Aimee was right, you're exactly like your Mom. Don't worry, I didn't have anyone touch her properties for over two decades, I won't now. Especially when you're here.' He said and I smiled. 'That's so sweet of you. Thank you Dad.' I grinned and he chuckled. 'G
NARRATIVE Ashton was just about to step out the Grey's family manor upon receiving an urgent call from his friend, Logan when his sister stopped him. "Ashton, where are you going dressed like that? Did you forget? That woman's death anniversary is today and you know the rules. Especially with that strange girl showing up. Also the press conference is going to hold in few minutes. I hope you're not trying to get off father's good books? Mother would be disappointed." Imogen said with a lazy smile on. She was just coming downstairs from her room when she saw her brother dressed casually, his car key in hand as he walked hurriedly, towards the entrance/ exit door of their home. On a normal day, she wouldn't be concerned over her twin brother's activities but today, for their sake and their mother's, they needed to trade cautiously. Unlike herself, Ashton had always been the obedient one and as such, Imogen was surprised when she saw him in this situation. He wasn't wearing
SCARLETT'S POV I peered searchingly over mother's diary. Sky, Mom and Dad were with me in the limo as we drove to the company's headquarters. First time I'll be going there but I already know everything about it from mother's explanation. She and Dad founded the company afterall. In Mother's diary, she talked about the achievements of the company in her time and the goals they're planning to achieve over time. I discovered, most of it dad already accomplished. Dad's phone rang and he answered the call. "Yes, we're on the way now. The press members, stakeholders and the board of directors are there now? Alright, we'll be there in a moment." He ended the call. I raised my gaze in time to see him smile at me. "Heidi, you ready?" He asked and Mom smiled. "Obviously, she is." She said and Sky caressed my arm assuringly. "I am ready!" I said firmly.ASHTON'S POV "Ashton, what's he talking about?" I heard Dexter asked behind me. I sat down again, sighingly and cast a
SCARLETT'S POV We arrived at the company's building and I let out a gasp on beholding the massive, exquisite skyscraper standing firmly amidst several others in the heart of the city. Of course I've seen it being featured in some commercial videos and magazines but I really didn't expect it to be this huge physically. "It's amazing sugar, can't believe I'm here looking at and about to step into the renowned headquarters of JP's Enterprise." Skylar gushed beside me and mother chuckled. Dad smiled at me and I smiled back, turning my gaze to stare out the window of the limo as the driver pulled the car into a halt in the vast parking area of the company. I could see a huge crowd of people outside the building and Mom made me understand that they all consist of several fans of my late mother, some rookie journalists_who wanted to grab a first hand information of the press conference but wouldn't be able to gain entrance in because of their inexperience or low status and several
SKYLAR'S POV We all watched in awe over Scarlett's intriguing, jaw dropping introduction. Hurray! My baby got 'em all trippin' I was mentally singing. Aunt Aimee was grinning from either pride or excitement beside me as she watched her foster daughter. Chairman Grey had a proud smile and look in his eyes as he looked sideways at her. I then decided to look at her new family. Harriet was red in the face from either shock, anger or from trying to suppress her discomfort. Her daughter, the beautiful girl I'd once admired on the very day I arrived this country, shifted uncomfortably in her seat also trying to control her discomfort but wasn't seeming successful. My eyes scanned around for the boy, Imogen's twin. The only sad part about everything that's happened so far, is the fact that my crush turned out to be the son of the woman who killed my friend's biological mother. How was I supposed to react to this one? Well, I can just stop crushing anyway. Who knows, he might no
IMOGEN'S POV"Mum I just can't accept this. Seriously, I don't think I'll ever get used to the strange girl posing as an elder sister and living in our home. Was it so hard for father to have given us a hint all these years? Why let us find out only recently?" I said to mother, not hiding the displeasure in my voice. I mean, we had to sit there and listen to her talk about herself as a 'legitimate' daughter. She had guts really! Even the way she smartly answered the questions thrown at her shows just how well she knows what she's doing. Mother sighed and touched my arm slightly, I was looking out the window as the driver drove us home. "Imogen, don't be too hard on your father. Take it as my fault," I turned to look at her in confusion. "I didn't care enough for him that's why he probably couldn't tell me." She said. "Mother!" I cut in, immediately. "That's not true. Everyone knows how greatly you care about father." I said and she gave me a small smile. "Just leave it all to me,
