“Ahhhhhh!!!” Bethany screamed after she returned from her therapy session with Doctor Payne. Her appointment had been fixed on the first day of the weekday. She furiously slammed the door hard. The woman didn’t fail to grill to talk about the trauma she experienced in the custody of her supposed abductors. “Can you believe her?” She continued to vent out in her room. Vivian groaned out from her sleep, “What? Who?” She held a hand to her head which throbbed in pain. “That insufferable woman. I bet she must be amused right now.” She paced in the room back and forth. “Will you calm down? You are making me dizzy.” She complained while trying to keep her eyes open. “Don’t tell me to calm down!” She lashed out at her mother. “What were you even doing? Sleeping? When we have a mission to accomplish in this house?” Her eyes blazed with fury. She walked towards a flower pot in the corner of her room to pick it up. She aimed it right at the top of her mother’s head. The pot crashed behind V

“Thank you, Ms. B.” Bethany chirped sweetly in appreciation. Ms. B simply gave a node and excused herself from their midst. The tension at the area didn’t go unnoticed by her. Killian sat at the head of the table with Bethany sitting right next to him in a sheer lacy outfit that left nothing to imagination. She pulled her hair into a ponytail, showing off her slender neck with a diamond neckpiece. Vivian had been instructed to stay put in the room even though she longed to join them for dinner. “I am so glad that you could join us tonight.” Bethany spoke, cutting through the air. Killian had looked away from his plate. Same as Penelope who looked at anything but the two people sitting opposite her. She had ensured to seat far away from them purposely. “Glad to be invited.” She said, not sparing her a glance. “Baby, I am so glad you hired her so you have live on with a piece of me.” Bethany spoke sweetly, “You are so sweet for that.” Penelope heard a loud smooching sound but didn

“These people claimed that you requested for them.” A man spoke out confidently. He was certain that the two men would be utterly embarrassed. He knew Mrs. King before the crash. Her taste for luxury was well known by everyone in the manor. Of course, she wouldn’t settle for a low class beauty company. She glared at the two of them and shined her teeth with a dazzling smile, “Yes… Yes, I did. It is a start-up business that I saw on social media. It wouldn’t hurt to be supportive, right?” They were all gobsmacked. Did she just confirm it? Everyone knew she accepted nothing subpar and cheap. “Let them in.” She added. They cleared their throat and allowed them entry into the manor. When they arrived in her room, Bethany turned around quickly to smack Dean on the face as soon as the door was shut. He dropped the beauty tools and feigned his face in, not out of pain but in wonder. “Have you both lost your minds?” She whisper-yelled and ran to the curtains to shut it. “You had just a job

Penelope couldn’t believe the sight before. She watched Bethany prance in a ridiculous wide yellow dress. “My love!” She exclaimed for everyone to here and bumped Penelope out of the way to cement herself next to Killian.Then, the roar of gossip began.“What a slut!”“She wanted another woman’s husband!”“Wow! To think I was jealous of her…”“She is despicable. Thank goodness she didn’t die. That gold-digger would have snatched Killian for herself!”They all sneered and stared at her with a look of contempt. Her eyes stung. She blinked to will back the tears that threatened to spill.They all looked at her like she was a horrible being. “See? Now, she is just an another shameless mistress.” Another one spoke out loud amidst the murmurs.Penelope wrapped her arms around herself. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself. Killian didn’t even bother to look at her. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Bethany with keeping a neutral gaze.“There you are. Been looking for you.” Nathan arrived a

Everyone gasped at the device blinking on him. Some people tried to scamper and seek solace near the walls.Pete shot up again. Everyone freeze in their position, afraid of having a bullet brutally pierce through them."Now, where was I?" Pete inquired. He sauntered but kept a tight hold on the switch.Bryan kept himself out of Pete's view. The man was predictable. For what he had done, no one must know his involvement with him. Or it would backfire on him and send him to jail faster than the speed of light."Hey..." He cooed to Penelope quietly.Her breath had returned to normal. "Feel better?"Penelope gave a nod and exhaled.She felt better magically. It was one of the reasons he loved having her brother around. She always had attacks from six. The event that triggered it, she had no memory of it.All she knew that whenever she had strange flashes, her head ached to no end. But Bryan always found a way to make it all go away.She sat up next to her brother and tried to look for Kil
