They dropped Winter off first then he drove towards Chery'l house.“Did you mean it?”he asked her.She looked at him blankly.“Those words you told me when you had that fight with my sister,”he clarified. “Yes.I don't say things I don't mean.But they were said out of anger and to be honest you'd taken a low road,”she said.They were silent for a while.“You don't understand.She is my twin sister.And I know she is a handful but trust me Cami is a good person,”he said.She smiled sarcastically.“Yeah right,”she said.         “Cass I don't know the first thing about having a twin or all that kind of stuff.But I know for a fact about standing up for the truth.You think if Winter was in the wrong I wouldn't tell her?”she asked.“Yes you do have to tell her.But in all honesty would you go against her in public?”he asked.She was silent.“Exactly.Look I am not a bad person just cause I stuck up for my sister.If we were friends I would have done the

Yvette was the mayor's daughter so as expected she came from a posh home.She was at the door to personally welcome everyone."Oh you made it.Damn ice queen,you came dressed to kill,"she said looking her up and down.She had worn a plunging V-neckline that dropped all the way to show enough of her chest.The black bodycon dress went down to her thighs with panels of mesh placed in strategic location to keep the thirsty needing more.She'd won knee length laced shiny black heels."Where are all the servants?"she asked to divert her attention."Not home today.But honey let's take a photo tonight.Even I can't resist you tonight,"she joked.Cheryl smiled at her.She held Winter's hand and they got in.Cami was the first to see them.She rolled her eyes."Girl did you think this was the red carpet?"she mocked."Oh Cami,I don't have time for you tonight.Compliment her girl when she's in style,"she said sweetly."Excuse me,"Winter said uncomfortably and started to walk away.Cami held her hand and

Hermione was doing some digging.She wanted to find all the dirt on the Brickley's before she could open up cases against them and so far so good.She particularly wanted them to pay for her daughter's death.She had the money now.Jim and Peach could not twist the law not when she could buy justice at any price.She hadn't met Jim yet and that was a good sign.She hoped he would never figure out Cheryl was his.Cheryl had never asked about her dad,ever and she could only hope she never does.She didn't want to have to lie to her.She was very concerned at how close her daughter was becoming to Brickley's son.She wanted to make sure nothing happened between those two,she just didn't know how to make it stop.She didn't know if the Brickley's would use their children to hurt her or her daughter.She didn't want to involve the children at all.Her phone rang.It was her secretary.An appointment had been set yesterday by an anonymous person.The person had arrived

             Yvette had gone back to school as soon as Mr.Brickley left.“I think we should just say we have been dating for the past few months and we've been keeping it a secret because of Cami,”she said.Cass looked at her hopelessly.“I don't know,I just don't want him to find out we lied.I can't dis...”he said.She stepped closer to him massaging his shoulders.“My God,relax.You are so tensed up,”she said.“You should be too.You don't know my dad,”he said.Her mind rushed back to the journal at the mayor's study.     “Can I ask you something,why did you lie to your mum about collapsing the other night?”he asked.“Well,uuumh because you know how parents are.I would just make her worry for nothing,”she said.He turned to face her.“That wasn't nothing,”he said his voice taking a serious note.“It was nothing.I blacked out maybe because the party was hectic,”she said looking away.He shook his head.“Cheryl did you see how concerned your

            “Dad are you okay?”Cass asked when he kept on coughing, choking on his own saliva.“Yes...Yes.Sorry about that.How old are you Cheryl?”he asked.“Sixteen,”she answered.Sixteen years old.That was the exact amount of time Hermione had left town or less.His heart was racing.“Thats great,I don't know any Hermione from that time though,”he said.“Oh,I don't know,”she said smiling.“Anyway it was very lovely having you over.I'll invite you next time when my wife and daughter are around too.Cass,make sure she is home safe,”he said.He hugged her,patted Cass on the back then watched as they left.Hermione Jones.She took up her father's name again?He should have guessed.A 16 year old daughter.He had to meet her.Tommorow.He'd set up an appointment twice and both times she'd declined to see him.He had to see her whether she wanted to see him or not.__________________________________     Hermione was in her office working on some
