♡ Skylar ♡ His lips curled into a smirk as he said that, and I rolled my eyes."You're annoying, you know.""What can I say?" He shrugged. I turned away from him and started walking to the elevator, with him trailing behind me."Come on, Love, are you still mad at me?" He asked as we stepped into the elevator. I rolled my eyes, avoiding his gaze as I watched the doors slide shut.How could I even stay mad with those blue eyes looking at me like that?"How about I buy you and Aurora dinner?""I have plans.""My friends are coming over tonight. It's been a while since I had dinner with them.""Then I'll tag along."I turned to look at him immediately, raising my eyebrows."Ethan is going to be there.""Even more reason I should come."I exhaled, turning away from him. There was no way I could stop him from doing whatever he wanted. Arguing was a no-no.The elevator dinged, and the door slid open. We both stepped out, heading for the main exit.As I placed my hand on my car's door handle

The next evening...♡ Skylar ♡"There you go," I whispered to Aurora after helping her put on the bow headband Alfred got for her. She took a step back and twirled, giggling with excitement. I smiled and grabbed my bag, holding Aurora's hand as we walked out of the house. I helped her into the car and got in the front seat. Starting the car, I drove out of the parking space.An hour later, we arrived at the hotel. Holding Aurora's hand tightly, I headed to the main entrance. I exchanged pleasantries with some of the guests before entering the elevator that took us to the top floor where the hall was located. The hall was almost filled with guests, and the dim lights gave it a magical atmosphere. I nodded at the lady checking invitations at the desk and walked past the security guards into the hall.Samantha and I may have argued while planning, but the hall turned out perfectly. The glass walls provided a stunning view of the starry night. I smiled and nodded at the guests I recogni

The next day...♡ Skylar ♡"That'll be all," Lara said as she angled the camera back to herself."So ma'am, what do you think?" Lara asked with a hopeful smile. I ran my hand down my hair."The proposal is nice. I can work with it""You know what to do. We'll see tomorrow""Yes ma'am" she smiled. I hung up and stood from the stool walking up to the refrigerator. I had taken the day off. Not necessarily my decision, it was Dad's mandatory order for Sam and me to take two days every month for a break. And today I saw the perfect opportunity to take a break after my chaotic night.I pulled the refrigerator open and after giving it a cursory glance, I grabbed a canned lemon drink and closed the refrigerator. I sank back on the stool and peeled the can open."Oh my goodness!" I heard Hannah yell. I looked towards the door as she rushed into the kitchen."What?" I asked, raising the can to my lips and taking a long gulp. She drew out the stool beside me and sat, turning her phone's screen

♡ Skylar ♡I pushed open the door to Alfred's office and stormed in, gripping the envelope tightly. He turned around, phone to his ear, and looked surprised to see me. "I'll call you back, Xander," he said, putting the phone down on his desk. "Skylar.." he began."You must be feeling pretty satisfied right now," I interrupted, forcing a smile."Skylar, listen, I didn't know my dad would do this," he said.I scoffed, briefly glancing to the side before returning my glare to him."Just like the way I didn't know you and your dad made a deal to manipulate him for my inheritance!" I replied. He froze, his eyes widening. "You-""Yes, I found out," I yelled."Why? Did you think you could get away with it?" I added, lowering my voice to a whisper. He took a step towards me. "If you come any closer, I swear, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," I seethed, and he stopped in his tracks. I raised the envelope and threw it at his face, the papers falling to the floor beside him. His e

♡ Alfred ♡"Go do your homework in the living room. We'll join you soon," Skylar told Aurora, who nodded and got up from the stool. She smiled at me, and I returned the gesture, watching her walk out of the kitchen."She's adorable. I bet she takes after you," I said, smiling at Skylar. She rolled her eyes as she grabbed her dish and walked to the sink.Right. I was too caught up enjoying breakfast to remember that she was mad at me. I must have been crazy to show up at her house at night during that heavy rainfall. It was even crazier that I didn't plan to leave until I talked to her. What if she had already gone to bed? Or what if she hadn't even seen me? I would have frozen to death under the rain, looking pathetic when she found me the next day. Now, I was determined to earn her forgiveness, although it seemed like she wasn't mad anymore. Well, I wouldn't know for sure. Dad was the cause of all this. I knew he could be petty, but I never expected him to go behind my back and tell
