Vivian was quite fulfilled that morning as she saw her daughter sit in the chair of the director that morning. And more than her own agenda she enjoyed the sight of Elicia and Jason's face as they both seethed like the failures they were. She was glad that Scarlett was on the seat. She knew the accounts would be reviewed soon, as it is reviewed every five years, and her five years were almost up.  She was becoming ill at the thought of the gaps in finances getting noticed, and she getting eradicated from society, but with Scarlett finally filling that empty role she used to hold. Vivian had never been more glad to step down from anything in her entire life. She was just glad the heat would be taken off her, never mind the fact that it would be pinned on her daughter ins

Mason could barely breath from the rage that coursed through him after he received a call that morning from his lawyer. His wife in jail? It was not only outrageous, it was maddening, and he was determined to do some damage. “How could you keep this from me?!” He rounded on Rita as soon as she stepped into his office, her head bowed, and she flinched back before taking a deep breath. “You were holding an emergency press conference Sir, I could not let this destabilize you.” She defended herself, but it seemed that her effort only promoted Mason's ire. “That's my wife Rita! A press conference? Was that really the best you could have done? What if I had been asked about it while standing defenseless? What would you have done?!” He thundered,

Ric Wilson was excited. He had never thought that he would be this happy to see his love ostracized but he was. The hitch deserved it. He had laughed heartily when he saw the news, and was content to sit and watch it for hours from different channels, showing the experience from different angles. But one thing that was common in all the footage was Scarlett's misery, and that was what excited Ric more than anything.He sipped his drink tirelessly as he watched with a triumphant smirk drawn permanently on his mouth, and Emerald watched her brother with concern in her eyes. He was definitely becoming obsessive, and she knew an obsessed Ric was no good, he was enough as is.“Don't you think you should slow down?” She asked without looking up from her laptop, she knew he heard her. Also knew that she was being ignored.“I know you heard me. This little problem of yours is becoming concerning. You have been in that excited state for hours.” Emerald snarked, and Ric turned to aim his cup on

Vivian woke up early the next morning, very early. She had booked a very early flight after all, and was determined not to miss it. Vivian Rodney was quite smart, all her years she had always restrained herself from behaving as her instinct would dictate. That was how she was able to sink her claws into the financial blood of her company. Her sister Elicia was more of an all bark and no bite kind of girl, but not Vivian, she would give you chilly silence and cold shoulder that you would just have to spend all day thinking about her drama and playing right into her hands.Opening the door slowly, she looked left, and looked right as she purposely avoided the CCTV cameras and decided before creeping out.She was in a very adventurous mood that morning as she managed to evade all the cameras and got into a cab that early morning once again paying with cash.Dropping her right off in the airport, Vivian crept slowly along and had to go Sit in the waiting room with everyone else as the

Madam Rodney could only stare at the wall as she wondered where on earth she had lost it, I mean it had to have been at some point of her life right, where her own children turned to something she could not recognize right before her very own eyes. There was nothing she could do to help Vivian, and it hurt because Vivian held a special place in her heart, while Elicia was dumb and ruthless, Vivian showed potential and became the child she projected all her hopes upon, that indeed turned out to be an epic fail, but Scarlett, Vivian's daughter became the one her hopes turned to, so yes , Vivian had indeed a special place in her heart, and it hurt that there was nothing she could do to help, if only it was Elici_ “Bet you are wishing I was the one in jail, aren't you mother?” Elicia rudely cut into her mother's thoughts as she sauntered in like she was invited, and Madam Rodney immediately made sure her thoughts were well hidden. “Don't be stupid Elicia, I have enough on my plate a
