Diana was just coming back from Alaric's place when she saw George sitting outside the house with Mia. " What the fuck is she doing here?" " That's none of your business." " This is my house!" " Correction, my father's house."" Your mother....."" Not anymore. Everything here belongs to me and my sisters and you have no say in them anymore."" You've grown some wings huh? Is it because of her?" She asked referring to Mia." She has nothing to do with this. If you want to keep on staying in this house, learn to respect my stand."" If your mother comes back..." George laughed hard as he stared at the psycho before him." You're more dumb than I thought. She's not coming back. Do you think my mother isn't smart enough to know when to stop? She's gone and she's never coming back unless when she's arrested."" What do you mean?"" You'll find out soon. Till then stay clear of me and my sisters or you'll regret it." He glared at her and she swallowed. " That's if she's still alive."
" Beauty!" Elsa called excitedly as she ran into the ward with Shawn behind her. Mason had called her immediately Beauty woke up." Hey." Beauty chuckled. The doctor was running some tests on her so Elsa had to stand behind him till he was done." Is she okay?" Mason asked. " Her vitals are stronger. I'd like to observe her for a week before she's discharged." The doctor said before leaving." Big sister." Elsa finally hugged her and she smiled widely. " I'm sorry for scaring you." Beauty sniffed. " I'm glad you're back."Mason left the room when he received a message from Dwight. As he suspected, the flight records were tempered. Seems Celeste and Diana both came to California the day Beauty was kidnapped. " Mason." Beauty smiled when he walked back in. " You look skinny. Don't tell me you haven't been eating."" I have." He lied. " He hasn't. He didn't even touch the fruits I brought an hour ago." Elsa rolled her eyes. " Mason......"" I couldn't eat when you were on the brink
" I don't understand." Elsa said confused. " How was mother's twin in the car and not my mother?" " Beatrice knew that there was no way she could stop your parents from going to the court that so she enlisted the help of her gang members to kidnap her sister and switch them up. I was the delivery guy. When she returned to your house, she was supposed to take your father out too but he was too stubborn. When she finally convinced him, it was already too late. I was waiting outside to switch the cars when your father's car blew up with the two of them in it." Rose narrated. " Didn't Dad know that she was a fake?" " He didn't coz he's never met her or knew what she look like, your mother barely talked about her. The only way you could differentiate the sisters was by the viking tattoo on Beatrice's pinky finger."" Then how did you know she was a twin if no one knew?"" That's because I was the only one who's seem them together coincidentally. I wanted Bella's help so I went to her pl
“ Welcome to Mystic restaurant. “ Beauty said all smiles as she attended to a customer. The lady stared at her from head to toe and she looked away. The first code of the restaurant was to take shit from anyone if you want to your job. Funny, right? That's the only way she could survive. The job was paying well but the customers were annoying but she had to put up with them everyday. There were some loving ones who managed to lift her day. " Is she going to serve me? “ The lady asked her partner after checking her out. " Of course. She's a waitress, that's her job. “ The man who accompanied her sent absentmindedly. It was obvious the lady didn't want Beauty to serve her. " I'm sorry Ms, did I do something wrong?" Beauty asked. “ You did everything wrong! Your presence here is suffocating!" The lady barked and Beauty gulped. “ I'm sorry. I'll send for my partner. " She said and left for the kitchen. “ Hey Daniel could you attend to the customer on table four please?" “ That's arr
The next morning, Elsa followed Beauty to the supermarket since she had no shift no the restaurant. Elijah opened up early and some few junior staff were already there. “ Hi Elijah. " Elsa said with a huge smile as they walked into the supermarket. “ Hey pretty. " Elijah winked playfully and she chuckled. “ Thought you were still in Francisco?" “ Nah got back yesterday. " She lied. She had actually been back for almost four days. “ So where's my San Francisco package?" “ I'm sorry. Was there supposed to be a package?" Elsa teased and they both laughed. “ Hey am I invisible here?" Beauty pouted and Elijah chuckled. “ You're never invisible." He said and hugged her. " What's my job? “ Elsa asked. " Your job is to sit and be quiet. " Cara said walking in. " Ms Cara, don't you look ravishing today? Love your shoes." Elsa winked and Cara shook her head. “ Just don't insult any customers today. " Cara said. “ Me? Y'all know I'm a good girl. I would never. By the way, Ms Cara I d
Beauty waited till most of the customers were gone before she came out of the restaurant. Her loan was due in five days and she just got fired from her well paying job. What was she going to do? Her mind quicky went to her high school friend, who was into escort. She had tried to persuade her into doing it but Beauty was not easily swayed. “ You'll die a virgin. " Her friend would always mock her. “ Here goes nothing." She whispered as she dialed her line. “ Beauty, what's up?" Tonia said. There was a heavy noise in the background. “ Hey. I need your help. " Beauty said. “ My help?"“ I just got fired and my loans are due. "“ You need a guy. Alright meet me at Saltos hotel in two hours. We'll discuss. " Tonia said and hung up. “ Great, Beauty. You're going to fuck a stranger for money. Great! “ She muttered as she crossed the road absentmindedly. She heard a loud screech and she quickly jumped off the road. “ Hey!" She exclaimed. ...Mason went straight to his office when he
The next morning, Beauty dressed up for her meeting with Mason. She wore her most expensive gown since she didn't know where he was taking her to. It was a white fitted gown with tiny straps as it's sleeves. It had a belt which she tied on her tummy. She packed her hair in a loose ponytail and wore matching white heels. “ Miss Beauty." She heard a knock on the door. Her apartment was located at the far end of the street at the end of rows of apartments. It was a small apartment with at the far corner and it was barely noticable. “ Coming. " She said as she opened the door. “ Good morning, I'm Clyde. Mr Alaric's secretary. "“ Oh do come in. " She stepped aside and he entered. " Nice home. “ He said and she smiled. " Thank you. “ She nodded. " So are we making the deal now? “" You'll be meeting Mr Alaric in his penthouse downtown. There we'll sign the contract. “ Clyde said. " There's a contract? “" He's a business man. There's always a contract. “ Clyde chuckled. ....Mason's
“ Celeste calm down. He'll come around. He has no other choice than to marry you. " Mr Alaric said to Celeste who was breaking everything in her way. They were in his study, she had gone there waiting for him immediately he left for Mason's room. “ I want him to look at me at least. Even if it's just a hi. “ She groaned frustratedly." He will. It would take time but he will. You're to be his wife after all so he has no other choice. “ Mr Alaric said. " Will you make sure of that? “" Yes I will. Even if he doesn't, I'll make sure one of my sons marry you. “ Ryan who had been listening to them hurriedly ran to Mason's room and locked the door. “ What the hell Ryan?" Mason quickly covered himself up with his towel. He was just coming out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower. “ There's no need covering it up. I've seen it all since the day I was born. " He winked and Mason glared at him. “ You're not even supposed to be home yet. " He said and Ryan scoffed. " I got back e
