CHAPTER 10
I hate to admit it myself, but I am actually staring at this man. Me, a woman who has just met this man, and actually called him out on his rudeness and brashness towards Sebastian, is staring at William Harrison as if there are pink hearts over my head and baby angles singing above his. Maybe it has to do with Sebastian's inability to show a hint of gratitude at my defense for him. That, or the fact that Sebastian is a painful reminder of the bathroom incident. Even so, I listen intently on what William has to say on his endeavors around the world, a conversation started by Fiona herself the moment we sat down, and marvel at the enthusiasm in his voice.
In spite of Patrick and Will

"Ms. King, this is Matthew Carter, Mayor of Maryville. How are you this fine afternoon?" "I'm fine, Sir, thank you for asking. I hope you, too, are doing well." I try my hardest to contain my breathing, keeping it steady since my lungs sting from my sprint-race with Sebastian. I lift myself off of him and he quickly gets up and adjusts his shirt, which is already damp with sweat. His eyes bore into me, but I give him a big smile in return that sets him off. "I am, I am, thank you. I'm just calling in regards to our lovely county fair that kicks off tomorrow. We're aware of Sebastian's presence here in Tennessee, and would love for him to attend the opening festivities." "Why, Sebastian would love to go," I respond. Sebastian's

"Remember, Sebastian. Don't say anything stupid. This is a family affair," I say while putting pressure on my heel, trying to put the super glue to its use. We've been driving long enough to now reach an actual street, with other cars sharing it along side us. Sarah, for most of the car ride has been walking Sebastian through where he will be going and what he will be doing. Most of it consisted of walking through animal barns, volunteering at the face paint station, and even doing a meet and greet. The meet and greet is what frightens me the most, however. I slowly but surely release the pressure from my heel and tug on it lightly. The heel doesn't move from it's base, and I smile, relieved. "Just ten minutes away from the de

"What are you doing?"I stop typing immediately when I recognize the voice. The library, once quiet minus the sound of my fingers on my keyboard, will soon be filled with the sounds of Sebastian Harrison's annoyingly amused laughter and taunting about yesterday's Maryville fair, that actually turned into a Maryville disaster."Writing your apology statement," I answer slowly before typing again, taking a sip out of my coffee cup after I finish typing my last sentence. "And what are you doing up this early in the morning?" I check my watch. "It's only 6:21."I hear his footsteps enter the library, "I try to wake up before anyone else is up to bother me, but hi-hum, you're here," I can feel him standing behind me. "Why are you writing an apology statement?"

I walk into the main house feeling like a hollow shell.An image of Garrett burning paintings, Sebastian's paintings, with a maniacal smile on his face plays over and over again like a broken CD, but I can't bring myself to believe it. Garrett, the man I have worked personally with for years would never do something like that. But if that's the case, there isn't a logical reason why Loretta would lie to me. Especially since her reaction to the memory was so organic I felt it like I lived the experience with her.Maybe the reason I can't believe it is because Sebastian shows no sign of connection to such a traumatic event. And that, is the reason none of this makes sense. There are a billion pieces that I have yet to uncover, but Loretta was kind enough to give me a hint, a head-start, on figuring out the entire story and why it's

It truly amazes me, the power of a woman—the mere ability for a woman to open her mouth and twists the reigns of the universe with just a few words, whether or not they are true or false. Not only does the power of a woman's words amaze me, but Felicity Felix, more specifically, amazes me. Because I cannot think of anyone who would pull off a stunt such as this with the utmost confidence and contentedness. Honestly, I think this woman is insane. "Are youserious!That grimy bitch!" Sarah yells at me when I explain the entire situation, from beginning to end, when we arrive back at the manor. She paces the library just as she did when she was on the phone earlier, except she is angry, and I am angry, too, but more reserved about my anger. Why? Because if I show the extent of my anger with Felicity, the paparazzi, and

April 4th, 1999, Beverly Hills, California "Leslie, sit up straight, your posture is making my head hurt." My mother stares at me with the utmost rigor in her eyes. When I do lengthen my back and sit up straight, that hardness never leaves her black irises as she continues to stare at me as if I'm subhuman. It isn't my fault, I try to tell her—my developing breasts not only give me back pain, but make me reluctant to stand up straight in fear of being mistaken of "showing them off." "We need to take you to a chiropractor. That did little to assist you," she tells me, taking a sip of her wine. My little sister, Samantha, doesn't say anything at my mother's words at the restaurant table. How could she, really—she's

Fiona is sitting next to me on the couch in the guest house. Loretta is next to me as well, offering me a glass of warm tea that awakes my congested nostrils that occurred due to my crying fest.I sniffle and take the steaming cup from her hands, "Thank you.""No problem, honey." The unease doesn't leave her features. "What happened?""Yes, what happened?" Fiona asks as she rubs my shoulder. The contact is something I'm not used to, especially from a motherly figure such as Fiona. She sees how tense I am and stops, but I can't help myself: I broke down, crying in the kitchen in front of Fiona Vaun, which resulted in her having to help me to the guest house as the tears kept flowing like a river. Usually I'm very well-composed in situations that are water-work inducing, but for so
