"Fr—Francis?" I mutter under my breath. A sly smile spreads on his face. "Hey sexy, I bought you a rose flower, it's red and a symbol of love." He walks slowly towards me. I stay rooted to my stop unable to move. "And I bought you some tasty chocolates, you'd love them." He is close to me now. He looks down at me. I hold the towel firmly."Did you receive all the presents I kept for you or you discarded them." He leaned down to me and our face were inches apart. "Francis what the hell are you doing here!." I blurt out, more in fear than anger. water dribble down my chest. He narrows his eyes to slits as he glanced at my wet figure. "I thought you were never gonna ask.." He smirks evily. Now I'm out to freak out. He lifts his hand with the flower and trail the flower down my wet face. I close my eyes and shiver in fear."what are you doing!." I take a step back, heart pounding loudly. I know I should scream but I can't find my voice. He smirks and continue trailing the flowe

GARY GAUTHIER'S POV "What!". I hear myself saying. "Yeah Gary, it's your choice. one has to go." I slowly release my tightened fist and bang the table. She jerked at the sound."Fuck Brie!, what is it you want?. Aren't you tired of giving me a hard time. You left years ago remember!, and told me never to call or text. You left me when I needed you the most. Now you are the one breaking the rules, you're the one coming with your fucked up life to disturb my peace." I yell and she flinches. I stalk towards her and jerked her off the couch."Now get this into your dumb empty brain. You can go whatever length you wish to go. I'm never letting the ones I love out of my sight!. We are done. I've started a new phase of life. And it's much better than the one I had with you." I push her to the chair and began to walk out. "Why don't you just tell her then?" Her question made me halt. I hold the door knob tightly."Never, you remind me of that!" I say coldly. I hear her scoff."You're

LESLEY PERKINS' POV I sit in stacy's living room as she spoke over the phone. She's been talking with the braid guy for ages now. After what seemed like forever she hung up."Lesley you won't believe what he did!" She squeals as she plump happily on the couch."He asked me out, he fuckin asked me out!" She squeal and hugged her phone.A huge smile spread on my face."For Pete's sake stacy stop being dramatical!" I tweaked her ear playfully as I laugh."No Les, i'm not!. He's such a genial person I couldn't ask for more." She squeals again. I chuckle lowly, sincerely happy for her. I pray things work out between them, Stacy deserves the best. I glance at my watch and groan. "I've got to roll. Eva is accompanying me to the spa. Gary says I need to look perfect for the Christmas party. "Damn!, Gary is such a perfect guy. And you're a lucky bitch Les. you just arrived New York and boom, Gary fell over heels in love with you." I spank her butt playfully. She grins and walk me to the d

GARY GAUTHIER'S POV Carly is staring at me with a downcast face,and I'm covered in thick duvet. I look under the duvet and my face clouds. I'm striped off my clothings, smears of lipstick on my body. I ignore the dull ache in my head as memories of last night flash back. Brie!"How long have I been unconscious?" I say calmly. Carly itches his hair."Six hours boss." My eyes dilates and I fist my palm. "How's Lesley?." "I don't think she's fine boss, Ben spotted her leaving the mansion last night. He said she didn't look good." My eyes shot up to meet his. "She left!, Why did she?." I didn't wait for his reply before grabbing my shirt and dragging it down my head. Carly gives me some privacy and turned away. I shove my legs into my boxer briefs and get off the couch. "where are the guests?." "All on the seventh floor boss." He says and turns to face me."And where's Brie?""Uhhh, She left last night in the company of Francis." Something doesn't seem right. I grab my phone and

"What!, He got married to you!?" Gary blurts in a fit of rage. Lesley nodded, sniffing. "It was a court wedding."Blaine never left me out of his sight. There was security every whenever I went. And maybe I was a coward, I never protested. He told me I would consent to the marriage, I cared less. My life was already a mess.My sisters visited one day. They couldn't believe I got married to my own brother. They asked if I was okay with the idea, and I told them I was. They never saw the pain in my eyes. Never saw my faux smile, didn't pick out how my voice croaked. They were angry at me, and embittered about it. Who wouldn't be?, seeing their siblings marrying themselves sounded so absurd. I knew if I voiced anything out to them, Blaine would kill them. They left and never came back. For years I made my pillow my companion. it always muffled my tears, my pains , my sorrows. He always gave me a lotion to rub, it always concealed my scars I had on my body, and it made them heal fast
