The News.

The day for announcement came, and even though the winner wouldn't be announced until six in the evening, the Blanco family were already around.

Cami dressed like a queen, long gown and hair wrapped neatly in a bun. Her daughter, Rosa followed in her footstep, leaving only Justin in a casual wear. He had an headphone plugged to his ear so no one actually knew if he could hear anything or not.

"Look at this place even, such a garbage hole." Rosa said in disgust.

"Of course dear. They're so poor, what do you expect?" Her mother replied.

Tobin and his wife could only stare as they continued to insult them. Suddenly, Rosa got up.

"Sister, where are you going to?" Hailey asked.

"Water. I need some water in the fridge, why are you acting like I've come to steal or something!" she scoffed.

"No, I'm just asking--"

"-let her take it, Hailey." Tobin said. He was already getting angry now. Why would they all come to his house like that?

She took some water along with one of the best wines from the fridge. "Oh such cheap wine."

Justin spoke, "it's not cheap. It's very expensive. Worth over a 100k grand. In fact, it's very rare. How do you have it, sister?"

Actually, Tobin had brought it from his visit to Federico's place, which was technically his own mansion. The wine tasted do delicious and really well blended, and he and his wife had been sipping from it.

Hailey looked shocked to see her husband had such an expensive wine, but she said nothing.

"Ha! That's a lie." Scoffed Rosa. "If this wine is expensive, that means I'm Beyonce!"

"Let me see the wine." Cami ordered. She took a picture of it and posted it online to her members. She was a member of some ladies who called themselves as Queens. It was an honor being part of them. They were daughters and wives of really rich people.

"I'll be smart about this and ask on the group." She said to her daughter.

Everyone else remained calm. Tobin know they would find out the true price of the wine, and part of him wished they wouldn't. But then, he didn't care. Maybe they would use that to respect he and his wife for once in their life.

"Whoa, people say it is expensive indeed." Cami said, then frowned. "Did you steal this, Tobin?" She shot her son-in-law a suspicious glare.

Tobin didn't say anything.

"Whatever." She said then as she was about to drop the wine, someone asked on the group. "Are you the one drinking this wine, Cami?"

"Wow, she's so rich." another comment again. Then another.

Quicky, Cami asked her daughter to take a picture of her drinking the wine so she could post it, pretending like she actually owned the wine.

"Oh wait, I want to snap too and post it on my I*." Rosa cried out like a baby. She too took a picture with the wine.

"Mother, why can't I join the Queens yet? There are daughters of the rich there too. And you're rich!" Rosa asked her mother.

"I've told you millions of times, it doesn't work like that. You need to know what I got through before I was able to join too. And you have nothing, no rich husband, no rich friends. All you do is follow me around all day."

"Hey, don't say that in front of everyone!" Rosa cried out.

"Well, I'll just have a sip from this delicious wine." Rosa said.

Tobin remembered something so he got up immediately. "Wait!" everyone stopped and stared at him, even Justin.

"Don't drink it if you don't understand the ingredients. You might be allergic." He remembered his butler saying the same thing, and doing a quick test to check if they were allergic to any of the ingredients.

"Nonsense!" Rosa was the first to yell out. "Unless you put something inside the drink and you want to poison us."

"That is a strong allegation against my husband, sister. Tobin will never try to poison you." Hailey flared out.

"Then tell him to drink it." Said Cami.

Tobin was angry now. Why had they even come when they had television in their own house too!

He got up angrily and was about to take the wine from Cami hand when Rosa said something else again.

"No, give it to your pregnant wife to drink it. That is if you're so certain you haven't put anything poisonous inside of it." She said.

"I didn't poison it--"

"It's already. I've drank from it before, and I will again." Hailey said, then got up and took a sip from the wine. Nothing happened.

One minute, maybe two passed and nothing happened.

"Fine. I'll drink it," Cami said. She took a sip from the wine and stared at everyone. Nothing happened.

"My turn." Rosa took and and didn't only take a sip, but she gulp down the whole content.

"Why did you drink the whole thing!" Cami yelled out. Then she poured herself another cup.

They both emptied the bottle in no time. They didn't only empty the bottle, but ate all the snacks that Hailey had baked. They should have lasted them all week but now, Cami and Rosa had ate them all like wild animals.

"Please, the news will begin soon, let us all comport ourselves." Tobin said. He was trying hard not to raise his voice. They were doing how they liked now but he knew karma would catch up to them soon.

Once his wife is elected the winner, she would become the CEO, and there's nothing they can do then.

He would reclaim all their wealth and give his wife and unborn child. Then make them pay for what they did to him.

The television was turned on, and a man announced that the announcement would begin soon.

Finally, everyone was quiet, waiting to hear the result. Justin too had pause his music and was now listening to the news.
