“Thanks, Ruby. Are you sure Brian would agree to participate with me? He must be very busy,” Claire asked, her voice laced with uncertainty. “Claire, I read the flyer carefully. You guys are only participating on Saturday and Sunday for a month,” Ruby replied, a hint of impatience creeping into her tone. “Won't it affect your audition or your role in the movie?” Claire pressed on, still unconvinced. “No, Claire. I’m not even sure I’ll be selected, and besides, I want to be a singer, not an actress,” Ruby clarified, her determination shining through. “Thanks, Ruby. I don’t know what I would do if you and Brian weren't by my side,” Claire said, genuine gratitude filling her voice. “Anything for my friend,” Ruby said before ending the call. Claire dropped the flyer onto her bed, her heart racing. It felt like the plans she'd meticulously crafted were finally taking shape. However, a gnawing anxiety settled in her stomach.

“So have you decided on what to wear?” Aaron asked Aisha, his voice tinged with impatience. He was growing weary of the countless discussions about "Brian this" and "Brian that." It felt like a never-ending loop of admiration for a guy who seemed to dominate every conversation. “Yes, I have,” Aisha replied, her face lighting up with a smile as she glided towards her room. The entire mansion buzzed with excitement as preparations unfolded for Grandpa Graham's birthday celebration, a grand event that promised to be both a spectacle and a strategic battleground. --- Claire awoke early, the sun barely kissing the horizon, her mind racing with possibilities and plans. Today was not just another day; it was a pivotal moment in a game where alliances shifted as quickly as the tides. She had applied for a competition that could change everything, but her focus was divided between the festivities for Grandpa Graham and the intricate dance of power unfolding within the Morris family.

Brian said, "I should not worry about a thing, that I'm the only one that's important to him," Ruby said as she looked for a corner to sit down."You don't have to worry about a thing. His words sound a bit empty, but don't worry if he did not do according to what he said. I won't mind splitting him from the middle," Stella said with a smile."You want to split my boyfriend from the middle?" Ruby asked with a serious face."Did I do something wrong? Surely, I would split him in the middle if he broke your heart. Don't talk too much. It's not good for your health," Stella said.Ruby kept quiet as she started installing her instrument. Today, she and her mother, alongside Stella, are going to perform at Morris' birthday.The Maxwell's family walked in, and they caught the attention of the guests for how elegantly they dressed. Mabel followed them, since she was Krayon's official girlfriend.Immediately, Aisha spotted Mabel. She smiled before walking to Mabel with a glass of wine."Hey M

Ruby was already drawn in her instrument and she did not see when Brian walked into the hall, they were paid to perform for the whole event, there's no way Ruby can leave her spot.

Claire knows how to play the violin, she used to play it for Aaron when they were small. Ruby followed Brian happily, she has been waiting for Brian the entire time and now he's here. They both locked hands as they carried the gift to Grandpa Morris. It was a pendant made from a rare gem. "Good evening, Grandpa Graham," they both greeted as they presented the gift to Graham Morris. After the song finished, Ruby's mom was in charge of playing songs for the entire event. Ruby followed Brian everywhere he went. Mabel saw it and she could not hide the envy and jealousy that was masked on her face. Graham Morris led Brian to the table of the Maxwells.

Back at the birthday party of grandpa Graham Morris, Brian looked at Mabel who's pleading for his mercy against her actions toward him at the restaurant last week.

Aunt Shawn, with the purpose of peeping to feed her curiosity if Brian is really inside the room, walked toward the door. Immediately she opened the door, she was dragged into the room by Claire.Claire knocked Aunt Shawn down and she looked at her already unconscious aunt, a devilish smile cropped onto her lips.Direct message to you, oh sorry I forgot you're unconscious and you won't be able to hear what I'm about to say. In behalf of your plans, which I'm about to make a success for you, I have planned for you to taste your own medicine and feel how bitter it tastes, Claire said as she instructed her assistant to give her the strings.After injecting her with the drugs, Claire ordered they wake her up while she left the room, pretending to look for Brian.Claire called out the name of Brian as she walked through the lobby in search of him."Brian," Claire called out.Immediately she reached the room Brian and Mr. Jordan were taken to, Brian called out her name and she walked into t

If she doesn't want to get married to him, let her be and besides the video is no longer on the internet," Brian said. Claire looked at Brian, "how can this boy be my brother, he's so soft-hearted. You want to allow someone that drugged you go free just like that. Too bad, Brian. It's either she dies or she gets out of this family." Aunt Shawn brought out her phone to check it out, "true, today's incident is no longer available online," and she was a bit happy about it. "Everything is settled, I don't have to marry into his family," Shawn said happily. Just then a notification popped up on her phone. It was a video from a strange number, even worse than her sextape, and the video was also sent to every member of the Morris family. The truth was that if the video leaked out, she wouldn't only be disgraced, but also spend the rest of her life in prison, which is something she didn't want to ever happen to her. When her family members turned to look at her, no one expected her to b

046. Mabel's dream
Mabel dangled perilously over the edge of the rooftop, her heart racing as she stared down into the abyss below. Just as her grip began to slip, Claire lunged forward, her hands clasping Mabel's wrist with a fierce determination. "Hang on, Mabel! I’ve got you!" Claire shouted, her voice strained as she struggled to pull her friend back to safety.The air was thick with shock; onlookers stood frozen, eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to process the unfolding drama. Time seemed to stretch, each second heavy with the weight of impending disaster."I can’t hold on much longer!" Claire cried, desperation lacing her words as she fought against the gravity of the situation. "Brian! Get it together!" she yelled, hoping to jolt him back to reality."I want my mommy!" Mabel wailed, her voice cracking as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt suspended between life and death, a fragile thread connecting her to the world above."How could you be so reckless?" Claire cursed under her breath as

Ruby's heart raced as she stared at the screen of her phone, the image of Mabel standing perilously on the edge of the hospital rooftop flashing before her eyes. “I don’t know what’s going on!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling as she turned to Brian, who stood beside her.Brian's brow furrowed, his mind racing. “Where’s Chloe?” he demanded, a tinge of panic creeping into his voice. Ruby met his gaze, confusion clouding her expression. “I don’t know, Brian! I haven’t left this room since morning. How would I know?” She quickly threw on her clothes, glancing at her reflection in the mirror, the reality of the situation beginning to sink in.Without another word, Brian stormed out of the room, his thoughts consumed by worry. He checked Chloe’s room first, his heart pounding with each step. Empty. He made his way down the hallway, the weight of dread pressing on him. He needed to find her and fast.As he opened the door to Claire’s room, he found her on the phone, her face pale and ten
044. A Morning to Remember
The night had wrapped Ruby and Brian in a cocoon of shared fantasies, their first time together igniting a spark that felt both electric and timeless. They had ventured into untold territories of intimacy, each moment dripping with romance and unspoken promises. As the dawn broke, the world outside was a blur of colors, but within the confines of their room, reality was still suspended in the magic of the night before.“Good morning, Ruby,” Brian whispered, his warm breath brushing against her skin as he pressed his lips softly against hers, lingering just long enough to steal her breath away before kissing her forehead. He rose from the bed, a smile on his face, glancing back at Ruby, who lay peacefully asleep, her hair tousled like a halo around her.He tiptoed into the bathroom to freshen up, excitement bubbling within him as he mentally planned their breakfast. He wanted to make today special for Ruby, to create a memory that would linger long after the sun had set. As he prepared
043. Then you can decide what you want to eat
Brian and Chloe stepped into the living room, their expressions unreadable. The air was thick with a tension that neither could name. Ruby and Claire were already there—Claire immersed in her book, her brows furrowed in focus, while Ruby sat cross-legged on the couch, headphones on, mouthing the lines of her audition script.Claire was the first to look up. Her eyes flickered over Brian and Chloe, searching their faces for answers. There was no relief, no joy, no sorrow—just a blank slate that made it impossible to guess what had happened at the hospital."How is she? Is she okay?" Claire asked, closing her book and setting it aside. Her voice was calm, but there was a slight edge to it, a sharpness that betrayed her concern.Ruby, still engrossed in her script, didn’t even notice Brian’s arrival until he crossed the room. He walked up behind her, slipping his arms around her shoulders. Startled, she turned to look at him, pulling off her headphones."Darling, you’re back," she said,
042. Mabel
“Brian!” The voice called out again, cutting through the stillness of the room.“Wait, I’m coming!” Brian replied, hastily adjusting himself. Ruby, who had been comfortably seated on his lap, stood up, her cheeks flushed as she grabbed a towel to wrap around herself. The soft fabric clung to her curves, but her attention was quickly drawn to the door as Brian opened it to reveal Chloe, standing there with an expression that flickered between hope and dread.“Mabel has woken up!” Chloe shouted, her voice bright with joy, but just as quickly, her eyes dimmed, casting a shadow over her excitement. Brian noticed the abrupt shift, his heart sinking as he took in Chloe’s sudden change in demeanor.“What’s wrong, Chloe?” he asked gently, concern etching lines on his forehead. “I thought you said your sister had just woken up. Why do you look so sad?”“She’s suffering from memory loss,” Chloe admitted, her voice trembling. “The doctor says she has the brain of a child now, and we need to be t
041. Ruby's failed plan
The dim corridor outside the hospital ward was eerily quiet, broken only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights. Ruby stood there, her heart pounding, though not from fear. No, it was anticipation—a cold, calculated anticipation. This time, she would make sure Mabel was gone for good. There would be no mistakes, no loose ends. No one would ever know Mabel had been murdered.She gripped the small vial of poison in her pocket tightly as she took a deep breath. Steeling herself, Ruby pushed open the door to Mabel's room, determined to end the competition for Brian’s affection once and for all. But as she stepped into the room, her eyes widened in shock.The bed was empty. Mabel was gone.“What’s going on?” Ruby whispered, her voice sharp with confusion. Her gaze darted around the room, but there was no sign of the girl she’d seen lying helplessly in that bed just yesterday. The IV stand stood abandoned, and the sterile white sheets were neatly folded, as though no one had ever been here
040. Aisha ambitions
The red droplets falling from Aaron's bloodied fist matched the intensity of his hatred. "Brian, you can take everything else, but I won't let you have her," he snarled at the empty room, his words echoing off the pristine walls of the family estate. But fate, as it often does, had already set its wheels in motion long before this moment of desperation.Earlier that afternoon, the air had been thick with tension in the same room where Aisha sat, her perfectly manicured nails drumming against the mahogany armrest as she voiced her frustrations. "Ever since the party, I haven't heard from Mabel again. Her line isn't going through." She cast a calculating glance between Aunt Shawn and Aaron, her eyes betraying the machinations behind them. "I hope she hasn't changed her mind. I really need her to cause division between her and Ruby."Aaron, who had been standing by the window, turned to face her. The sunlight streaming through the glass caught the sharp angles of his face as he delivered
39. Ruby's plan
Brian sat at his desk, his eyes glued to the laptop screen as his fingers danced over the keyboard. Ruby stood behind him, her hands gently massaging his shoulders. A soft smile played on her lips, though her mind was already racing ahead."I’ve been thinking, Brian," Ruby began, her voice sweet and measured. "You know Claire has that competition coming up. How about enrolling her in a cooking school? She could really improve her skills there. Actually…" She hesitated before adding with a triumphant smile, "I’ve already done it. She’ll stay there until the session is over."Brian’s fingers paused for a brief moment, though his gaze remained fixed on the screen. "Thanks, Ruby," he replied calmly, "but you should have informed her before making that decision. Remember, Claire is older than you. You need her permission before taking such a step."Ruby frowned, her smile faltering. "But she needs it," she pressed, her tone firm.Brian finally turned to look at her, his expression unreadab
38. Ruby's jealousy
Krayon stood frozen, staring at the girl Brian had just introduced as Chloe. Her expression was sharp and unwelcoming. She looked at him like he was something unpleasant stuck to her shoe, her annoyance plain as day. It wasn’t just her glare that unsettled him—it was the way his stomach churned under her scrutiny. Only Chloe’s face had this strange way of making him feel nauseous, like a bad memory resurfacing.His gaze flickered to hers, and in that moment, the memory hit him like a slap. School. He remembered how she had beaten him up, leaving him humiliated and bruised. It all made sense now. Mabel—sweet, calm Mabel—could never have hurt him like that. No, it wasn’t her. It had been Chloe all along."If you're Mabel’s sister, then where is Mabel?" Krayon’s voice broke the tense silence as his eyes darted between Chloe and Brian. He was searching for some kind of explanation, some clue, but neither of them said a word. Their silence felt deliberate, a wall he couldn’t break through.
