"Oh my God," Jamal jumps in shock dropping the garbage bag he was holding on the ground.He comes out of his shock when he sees it's just Beth. "What are you doing here?" He asks picking up the garbage bag and disposing of it."You know, I came to a realization we haven't talked in a while," Beth says putting her hands at her back jean pocket."That's because we don't talk," putting emphasis, "at all."Jamal has been around Bailey's far too long to know they are not exactly a friendly bunch until they need to be."Well, we should." Beth smiles. A smile so fake anyone can see right through."Is this why you cornered me while I am thr

Dinner tonight is tense, each person is mad at the other for events that happened earlier today, and each waiting for an excuse to snap.Nico is mad that Beth got into his friend's head and Beth has confirmed that Nico is up to no good.Gianna is mad that Nico snapped at her last night and she has planned to avoid him but she obviously can't. This family always has dinner together no matter how much they get on each other's nerves.Sarah is mad at Jacob for preventing her from going to a party tonight. She thought she deserved a night off after working so hard these past couple of days for her exams but Jacob didn't think so. So she yelled something along these lines. "You are so lame and you are not my dad." And Jacob yelled something along these lines. "You are grounded."

Gianna was actually looking forward to her date up until he got into her head. If by he, you know I meant Nico, then you are right.After dinner yesterday, he continued to drop comments on what he thought of Gianna's date while she was watching a movie with Beth and Sarah.She was chatting with Ashton yesterday night and anytime he mentioned his dad, she rolled her eyes. She is scared that she might roll her eyes tonight at their date.He might have mentioned his dad the right amount of times but all she could think is "such a daddy's boy." The funny thing is, she needs him to mention his dad. How else is she going to get her proposal across? That's one of the main reasons she agreed to go on a date with him in the first place. The other reason is that he's hot.

There are three dinners happening tonight; Gianna's date with Ashton, The Bailey's first dinner without a stranger around, and The Rae's sad dinner of one."Sir, your dad's flight just took off." One of Rae's security guard stops at the dining table to inform Giovanni.Suddenly, Gio's shoulders feel lighter. His Dad in Cabo for a business trip is what he needed. He is legit scared of his dad, he feels another screw-up and Angelo might put a bullet to his head.There's no loving mother to stop him anyway. Speaking about loving mothers, Kaylee has been in and out of it for weeks now. She wouldn't even look at her son.Not that Gio can blame her, he can't look at himself. The mirror isn't the only problem, he can't sleep. He can't help b

"Wow, you are well-traveled," Ashton mutters as he drops his glass of wine on the table.Ashton started the dinner by talking about his travels to impress Gianna but then she started talking about hers and he became quiet.Usually, old Gianna will let him talk all about himself and all his achievements, even laugh at his jokes, so he will feel good about himself but this is Ann. Ann doesn't have to build a guy's pride by looking dumb."Don't act so surprised." Gianna chuckles."I am sorry, but I am confused as to why a woman as sophisticated and well-traveled as yourself, live in the worst side of Purple's Ville and also with the Bailey's. No offense, to your family friends of course."

"No," Nico says sternly as he walks upstairs with Sarah following behind him."Why?" She breathes out in frustration."Because you waited till Jacob left before you spring up your intentions of going to a party tomorrow night. I know a scheme when I see one.""That's because Jacob didn't let me go to the last party I was invited to. He was a social pariah when he was in high school and he is trying to make me one as well."They both walk into the sitting room where they both stop to listen to what the other has to say."Please Nic, I need this. These girls are only inviting me to these parties because I am best friends with Diego, if I don't show up again, they will stop inviting me.

This has to be the first time in her life that Gianna is feeling underdressed. Old Gianna would have bodied events like this. Elegance and style was her forte. She blames Ashton for making it seem like it's a small and intimate event. But then again Gianna should have known better after all Kaylee also always called events that need cocktail dresses, suits, and dozens of waiters, a small and intimate gathering."See you later princess."Before she can turn around, Nico has disappeared from behind her. She breathes out in frustration as she is now standing alone scanning the hall for Ashton's familiar face. Another thing that's foreign, feeling like a stranger in events like this, this was usually her scene."There you are."Her eyes m

"Leaving so soon?" Nico halts immediately once he hears that familiar voice. "Fuck!" He says under his breath. He turns around and there he was, the infamous Uncle, one of the people Nico believes orchestrated his arrest and imprisonment. He is a short old man, bald-headed with a huge scar on his left cheek, like he intentionally puts effort to look like the villain he is. "Glad to see you are back." He says adjusting the lapels of his suit. "Walk with me," He says gesturing to the door Nico was about to exit from earlier. Nico swallows the hate and the anger that's burning inside him. He knows he will have his time one day. Nico nods walking outside the hall with Uncle behind h

"Sorry for invading your personal space," Georgiana says as she fully enters Gianna's room."Nonsense, it is nice having someone sleep in my room. You should probably know there are insects around here."  Gianna says sitting on her bed.George walks up to a chair, it's situated at the corner of the room with a small study table. She drops her cocktail dress on the chair then turns to Gianna. "And thanks for borrowing me your pyjamas. It's comfortable." She gestures at the silk short and shirt."No worries," Gianna waves her off.The door opens and the women's eyes move to the direction of the door.Nico's head appears behind the door. "Hope I am not walking in on anything?" Nico

"Wow, you did it." The Mayor stops in front of Gianna, "I kind of doubted you but you outdid yourself." He says gesturing at the hall full of people."Thank you, sir," Gianna says with a smile. She knows it's not her doing, she herself is shocked by the turn up.Someone walks up to the Mayor and whispers something. The only thing Gianna could get from the inaudible conversation is "riot.""I'll be right there." The Mayor says dismissing him."Hope all is well?" Gianna asks."Your job is to bring people here and you have, the rest, I'll handle." He assures her but is tensed shoulders isn't that assuring."Does that mean I got the job
