Beatriz looked around and smirked. "This could've been mine. Everything here is supposed to be mine! I hate you, Ava for taking everything away from you. You...you lucky b*tch!"

Her frustration grew by the minute. And as she sat there, beneath the willow tree--in the most beautiful garden she had ever seen, her envy became stronger. Her mother did not know what she was up to because she knew Helen would stop her from doing exactly what she was doing.

Helen believes that she should give Ava time. Her 'lucky' step-sister blatantly told them she's cutting ties with the family but that won't stop Beatriz. For now, she had to be in Ava's good side if she wanted to infiltrate her new world. She's basically pushing her luck and once accepted, she'd work her way up.

She knew it would take a lot of patience and sacrifice but Beatriz was willing to give all that she have for a life she's always dreamed of. After all, if she finds a filthy rich husband, whose influence reaches Hollywood, her act

  • One night with Mr. Lancaster   Chapter 31| The shopping spree

    Contrary to what she expected, Ava brought Beatriz to a clothing store in a mall. They rode in style, Alfred, who seemed to be an important figure in the Lancaster household insisted they use one of the many cars they have instead of Beatriz's car."Damn it, I thought we're getting a luxury shopping spree today," she complained in her head. "Instead, Ava brought me to Zara! She's got a black card extension from Matthew and she chose to shop here! Okay, calm down, Bea. You need to do this. Just pretend you're thankful.""Hey, Beatriz, " Ava called her name. "Find anything you like?"Forced to be enthusiastic, Beatriz smiled and nodded, skimming through an array of soft denim. She hated denim and for a moment she had this small idea at the back of her head--maybe Ava was doing this on purpose to drive her mad. For her to show her true intention.If that's the case, she can't allow Ava to see through her mask. Especially now that she's invested time and effort. She casually picked thre

  • One night with Mr. Lancaster   Chapter 30| A taste of luxury

    Matthew was in the office. It's lunch and he's having coffee. He's not in the mood to eat out or even have food delivered today.There was a lot of thoughts and ideas bugging him since last night.Alice wanting to meet Ava. Ava agreeing with it.For a moment he thought maybe the sexual pleasures they shared helped. Ava had nothing to compare her experiences with so it does not matter if he was underperforming or overdoing it. He vowed not to touch her after that one night--but he couldn't keep his hands to himself once it's just the two of them.A subtle knock on his office door broke his thoughts."Hey," Silas peeked. "Are you on a diet?""No," his answer was clipped. "I'm busy. If there's nothing important, you can leave me in peace."Instead of leaving, Silas stepped in and made himself comfortable. He had this overbearing aura of confidence in him that Matthew finds both annoying and useful at the same time. He also knew that his cheap tactics on driving his right hand away was s

    "I can't believe it! He wants me to meet Alice?!" Ava paced inside the luxurious bedroom. She talks to herself whenever she wanted to shed some clarity and didn't trust anyone with her thoughts. Especially in this setting where she's smack right in the middle of the Lancaster mansion.For now, that's what she could do--talk to herself and hope she's going to have some sense of clarity sooner or later...probably before dinner tonight."Okay, Ava." She paused to examine herself in the mirror. A lot has changed and it's not even a month. "How hard can this be? He's marrying you and this Alice, she's just a friend. Okay? Just a friend."No matter how hard she tried to convince herself, a voice in her head just won't shut up. It continued to give her warning signs--flashing in red lights to make it more noticeable, as if she'd miss it. Ava could smell a fishy stench from a mile away.A gentle tap on her bedroom door startled her.Ava was jittery since Matthew mentioned meeting Alice last

    Ava turned around and could hardly believe her eyes—she was planning to visit Benny and she wasn't ready for what she saw next. She was ready to leave the mansion when she stopped. Matthew and Benny were walking toward her. Benny's little face glowed with happiness as he waved at everyone they passed, prompting admiring smiles and quiet comments about how adorable he was.Even as a child, he was always cute and endearing. No one would suspect he needed treatment unless asked and Ava wouldn't usually dive into that topic on the first meet. As soon as they were only a few feet apart, Benny stretched out his arms and shouted, “Ava! I missed you!”Her eyes welled with tears as she took him into her arms, covering his face with kisses.“I hope you don’t mind—I picked up Benny and gave her nurse the afternoon off,” Matthew said with a smile.“Of course not,” I replied.“Ava, he gave me this!” Benny exclaimed, showing her a packet stuffed with candies, lollipops, and chocolates.“Really?
