Cass felt lost.He'd messed up yet again without even intending to.He had fucked up the only chance he had with Cheryl.He knew she couldn't forgive him.Cami got into his room.“Can we make peace please?”she asked.He didn't know why he felt mad at her.He shook his head in denial.She threw herself on his bed.“No.I refuse to be on bad terms with my twin,”she said.He stood up.She thought everything was a joke.She didn't care about anyone else's feelings.“Cassidy I am sorry.I crossed the line and I apologise,”she said.
“Cami I actually like Cheryl okay? You had no right doing what you did back at that stupid party,”he said.“What do you mean you like her? You don't do relationships.You have been gi...”she was saying.“I love her,”he said.She was silent.She was searching for any hint of lies in his eyes.
“Cassie you couldn't possibly be in love with her? Why her?You know I don't like her,”she said.“I don't know.I just d
Ever since Cheryl came back to school things had been hell on Cami.The story had gone round and most people blamed her.People were choosing not to be friendly to her and be extra friendly to Cheryl.To make matters worse,her twin,Cass was still mad at her.He was dead serious about staying away from her. Cass had been devastated.His chances with Cheryl had been blown before there was ever anything to begin with.He saw her walking with Winter to her car after classes.He rushed to catch up to them.“Can I have a word with you please,”he asked catching upto her.Winter stopped.Cheryl continued walking.“Sorry,give us some time in private,”he pleaded then walked past her to Cheryl. “Cheryl please,”he begged.She kept walking.“Please Cheryl,a minute,”he said trying to keep up with her.He touched her hand and spun her around.“Stop ignoring me.Just talk to me.Or hit me or yell at me, anything,just don't be quiet,”he pleaded.She st
The mayor had called Hermione to inform her of the bribe Peach Brickley had donated.Hermione's initial plan had changed in the past few days.They'd shown her that they were still as cruel as they were before.She intended to be ruthless.She wanted revenge and she wanted it badly.She wanted a different approach though. She had dressed in a short bandage bodycon red dress and knee high laced black heels.Her meeting with Jim was in a fancy hotel in town.“Where are you going?”Cheryl asked.She smiled.“A meeting,”she answered.Cheryl checked her out.“Mum a meeting or a date?”she asked raising her eyebrow.“A meeting not a date,”she answered turning around ready to leave.“Well you are overdressed for the occasion but you look lovely.And mummy,if its a date,I have no problem.I could use a father figure around here,”she said trying to make her mum admit it was a date.Hermione didn't take it that way.She was scared that Cheryl wanted
Peach got into the bedroom.Jim was laying there going through some paperwork.She took the papers and pushed them aside then leaned in for a kiss.He kissed her back then leaned away.“What?”she asked surprised.“Honey we need to talk about something,”he said.She moved closer to him placing both of her hands behind his head.“I am sure its not as important as making love to your wife,”she said in a low sexy voice.He broke free from her embrace.“Actually it is.One Hermione isn't reopening any case and two we have a new investor,”he said taking the papers. “How did you know she isn't opening up the case?”she asked raising her voice a notch higher.“I had a meeting with her,”he said.She sighed bitterly.“Why?”she asked.“Because baby,someone had to cool her down or else our secrets would be out in the open,”he said.“I already bribed the mayor.We would win the case like we did if she dared.Maybe you are just enjoying meeting her again,”she said angrily.“P
Hermione was dressed in black.This day marked seventeen years since she'd lost her child.She wanted to visit the grave.She oftenly visited her grave.She paid her respects as much as she could.In a way,she still grieved her. Jim had decided to visit Ellie's grave.For the first time since she was buried.He felt the need to do it.He'd ordered alot of flowers to compensate for all the years.His daughter had died in his watch.If it were not...So many what ifs.It marked seventeen years since Ellie passed away. Cassidy had shown up at Cheryl's home.He had a large bouquet of flowers and a large basket of fruits.Cami had apologised publicly to Cheryl.She had tried her best to show her how sorry she was.Cass had stayed away from her,to give her space.Cheryl had decided not to stay mad at Cass for Cami's mistakes.It was a surprise when he showed up with the flowers and fruits.He minded her health but s
Back in her room they sat lost of words.“I am so sorry that yo...”he started to say.“No Cass,I should be sorry for my mum's behaviour,”she said.“No come on.You are not to blame.None of us is responsible for our parents actions,”he said getting close to her.She hugged him.How could he not judge her based on that?She leaned in and kissed him.He felt her lips,soft,full and tender.He kissed her back.She deepened the kiss.Kissing him with passion,with need,with want.He pulled free.“No Cheryl, you're vulnerable.This would be taking advantage of you,”he protested. “No.Its not.I am okay with this,”she assured him.He leaned in again, feeling the warmth of her body.Sparks of excitement run up and down his spine.At that moment her eyes looked so adorably innocent.She wanted him.And he needed her.He put his lips back on hers.Kissing her slowly, passionately,desire building up inside him.She held him at the back of his head,deepening the kiss.He car
Hermione sipped her champagne.One shot fired.She was now a shareholder of Newvalley High.One of the properties that the Brickley's owned.She intended to buy shares from everyone until she became the majority shareholder.Then donate it to public property.She wanted to make them suffer the way they had made her suffer.The way Jim was moving,her plans would be very successful at that pace.But she was still concerned if maybe he had a plan too and getting close to her was part of it.Well she was prepared for anything.She was cautious.Every move she made was strategic.Then there was Cheryl.Why would she ask about her father just like that?And why had she followed her to the cemetery?She wanted to tell her everything but she didn't want her involved in anyway.She wanted to protect her incase this whole revenge thing spiralled and turned ugly. Her thoughts were interrupted by Peach bursting into her office.“You Brickleys have got to stop bursting into
“What the hell is this Jim?”Peach asked angrily.“I uuumh decided to uuuumh drop by for some ummmmh details on the school uuumh,”he stammered to say.“Just drop it.Can you explain how the fuck I signed this?And why you are showing up here with these fucking flowers when you are supposed to be at some fucking meeting?”she asked.“Look this is my office not a space to settle your problems.I suggest you go home and sort out whatever this is,”Hermione said.Peach sat down.There was a moment of silence.“Are you both having an affair?”she asked. “Between me and him,its strictly business.There is no chance of anything else ever happening,”she said.“Yeah ofcourse hunnie.Its just business,”he said.“Yeah because you wouldn't dare cheat on me.Especially with her because if you did,the world would know what really happened the day your daughter died,”she said and with that she stormed out of the office. T
Cheryl was dressed up to go out on a date with her boyfriend.“Where are you going?”her mum asked her.“Nowhere near anybody's husband,”she said sarcastically.Hermione glared at her.“Listen to me young lady,you can be angry all you want but you will not disrespect me in any way,do you understand me?”she asked.Cheryl was surprised at the tone her mum was using.She had never used that tone with her.“For you to be respected mommy,you have to respect yourself first and I don't think you do,”she said.“Watch how you speak to me Cheryl Jones.I am not your agemate?”she asked.She rolled her eyes.“Look,I am getting late,I'll see you when I do,”she said then left banging the door behind her. Cass was waiting for her outside.He kissed her and handed her the bouquet of flowers as he opened the door for her to get in.“So where are we going?”she asked.“Its a surprise,wait till you see,”he said starting the engine.He took her to one of their properti
