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,
NARRATIVE Isabel Bryant stride in the grand deluxe living area of the Bryant's family mansion and found her husband, Minister Jordan Bryant pacing about, lost in thoughts. She knew what was troubling him. "Did you finally decide?" Jordan Bryant turned around on hearing her voice. "Oh Isabel, it's good you're here. Did Palo arrive safely?" He asked, moving closer to her. "Yes he did. What is the next step now?" Isabel asked again. "I'll have Dementriv arrange a meeting with Jamie Grey. Send Palo to me as soon as he's settled." He instructed. Isabel nodded briefly. "I've prepared dinner, you should eat." She said before walking away.HARRIET'S POV That girl's words couldn't leave my head since I heard it. How brazen of her to have made those remarks. She even indirectly insulted me during the press conference. 'I wouldn't know that Ms. Mills. I mean, my mother died right after I was birthed. But that's not a cause to worry as I think my stepmom would be 'more th
SCARLETT'S POV I took the stairs up to my room and on getting there, I paused on noticing the slightly opened door. Didn't I lock the door before leaving? I mused. Shrugging slightly, I stride in and made the way straight to my bed. It's been a really long day. Some moments later, I was smiling over the comments I saw on social media about my interview. Many people were already curious about me_how I happened to be alive, or what happened to my mother, why I didn't show up in the city all this while since I was never dead as the country had speculated. Why I didn't bother saying something concerning the rumors about my mother and her best friend, why I announced myself as a legitimate daughter...and so on. However, it wasn't the right time to let everything out. I'm just arriving. They should watch my moves. Picking up my purse, I retrieved mother's diary and smiled. "Mother, we've only just started. Today went exactly as I'd planned." I smiled and caressed the diary w
ASHTON'S POV "Yes Father, he said he'll get back to us in a few days." I reported and father nodded slightly with a small smile, while reclining more on his seat. "Very good. You've done well Ashton, I know I can always trust you." He said and I smiled. "Thank you for your generous words, Father. If you need anything else please let me know, I'll do it right away." "Not at all. For now, I need you to focus on securing Project XR contract with Song and Kwan Group before the next board meeting." He said and I nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "Yes Father." I wanted to ask him about Scarlett's new position in the company but on second thought, I decided against it. "Is there anything you want to ask me?" He said as though he could read my thoughts. "Not at all." I smiled and was about leaving the exquisite office when he interrupted me. "Ashton," "Yes Father," I turned around to face him again. "I trust you'll assist your sister, Heidi, around the compa
NARRATIVE Amelia Mills stared at the exquisite building before her. She had come all the way to JP's Enterprise with the excuse of seeing her friend, Susan. Susan works in the research department of the company as a junior staff. As a reporter, Amelia couldn't suppress her urge of digging into juicy details. Her reporter instinct wouldn't let her be as she felt there's something fishy about the Grey's family. Amelia wanted to find out first before any other reporter, what it was that the Grey's family was keeping secret from the general public. It was her duty as a reporter, to find out what it's all about_so she thought. "Amelia," She turned around and was surprised to see Logan walking up to her. Logan is a friend, whom she's aware, have feelings for her but she didn't see it as much, considering the duties she had laying ahead of her. "It's really you." Logan said smilingly, on reaching her side. "Hey," she smiled. "What are you doing here? You work here?" She asked
NARRATIVE Logan walked Amelia up all through to the floor where her friend's office was located, feeling great that he was finally having a decent conversation with her and there wasn't any interruption whatsover by killjoys like Tristan Millan, as he easily answered her questions and occasionally asking his which she answered willingly. Just as they made their way through the hallway, they came face to face with Ashton and Scarlett. "Logan, you're here. I didn't know you'll be coming over." Ashton said the moment he saw his friend. Logan who was just meeting Scarlett for the first time, couldn't hide his surprise as to how charmingly gorgeous she was. "Yeah, I didn't. I decided to stroll by your side since Rhys and Dexter went on a supposed cruising trip today. Won't you introduce me to your really pretty elder sister?" Logan said with a chuckle and Ashton cleared his throat. "Scarlett," he said turning to her and she smiled brightly and curiously at him. Her action
NARRATIVE Imogen stepped out of the car in a sour mood as she walked towards the entrance of the company in the company of her guards. She easily passed through the glass doors and as she walked along the vast area of the first floor, several employees greeted her respectfully. She paused when she overheard the conversations of two young interns walking past. "KK is freaking here. I can't believe this. I got to see him when he walked in with several guards and headed for the elevator. Girl, the sight of him is ethereal. I've never seen anyone so dreamy before." "Come on don't say that. You mean there's someone who's more handsome than young Mr Grey? I don't wanna believe that." "You think I'm lying, wait till I show you that I'm not. Just now, I heard him asking the receptionist about the floor number where the CEO's office is located. Let's go check there." They gushed as they walked on. Imogen's sad mood flew away with the air Instantly and her eyes lit up as she
