'Since you announced the merge, people have swamped over, we have a lot of things to do," Katie announced entering the office with Belle, Craig and Jace trailing after them.
Sapphire had asked her entire team to come up to her office, it is obvious that Mira is running late as usual, she was always behind ever since she got her new position in the company.
'Are you complaining already?" Belle asked and Katie shook her head.
'You know that we love it. We couldn't ask for more than this, it is better than before," Katie replied.
The door opened and Mira came in, all sweaty from whatever task she was up to.
'Did you want to take a shower?" Craig asked and Mira glared at him.
'Shut up your mouth, asshole," She bit back.
'Tell me, how is it going with your family since your grandmother died? Your family are known for their bad characters," Jace said with lips curled up in disgust and Sapphire nodded and started telling them how it all went.
Sometimes, she just calls them into the private part of her office and they just relax and talk, it was to make sure that the bond is still there as it was when she first started working there. These were people that helped her accomplish her task and stood by her when the scandal happened. It would have stung if they had turned her back at that time but thankfully they didn't and she knew that her bond with them would last very long.
'That's so fucking cool! They deserved that!" Candy exclaimed when she was explaining what happened to them.
'I hate Melissa the most. She should get more than that, what she is going through now is an underestimation. But won't she use her inheritance against you?" Craig asked.
'Inheritance that she can't reach? She can dream of doing that in five years to come," Jace added and they all nodded in agreement.
'I need to get to the cooking class, you know that today is Friday, I wonder if Melissa would show her face there," Katie said in thought.
'She wouldn't dare to. Those fake bitches would lose the respect they have for once they know that Sapphire got the most out of Madam Emiliana's property," Belle said and they all stood up to go out, each of them to their respective offices and Sapphire out of the office.
It was D-day and all their plans had been set in motion, the Smiths had arrived at the prison since an hour ago, which is precisely the time she told them to go there but nothing suspicious had happened, Luci haven't got anything from Oliver nor did Zayn got on Sebastian, except for that little fact the Sebastian met with Sheila, probably to plan her downfall, she is ready for whatever they threw at her.
Alyssa and Alicia were at her company and Claire was at the museum, Ruby was still performing the world tour he had to perform in order to appreciate his fan or something, whatever the tour is meant for and his share of inheritance was with Lawyer Tom, the man was keeping it safely until his return, he had called her the previous night, all excited and cheery, he had just found out about their grandmother's cool, Sapphire decided not to tell him about the old woman's involvement in all the drama that went down some years ago. She would love it if he continued seeing her in that beautiful light.
---------------------
Just like Belle predicted, Melissa was absent from the class and the rich kids were staring at her with newfound respect, and they were calling Melissa all sorts of names, she was being slandered for what she didn't do. Sapphire shook her head at their level of fakeness. Like what the hell?
'If it isn't the new ‘Heiress' in town!" Tiara yelled coming closer to her and Sapphire rolled her eyes at the dramatic shout.
'That is the new billionaire!" Gladys said, plopping down on the seat beside her. 'Tell me, how does it feel to be so rich? I mean you are above Tiara's level now,' she added.
'Don't rub it in, Gladys, and she already went past my level when she married Alexander and had the man wrapped around her finger. Even though I said that I am going to stop wearing all those dresses, I can't help myself from putting it on to events that I know Jeremy would be, I just wish the man would spare me a glance and see how much I like him!" She grumbled and Gladys shook her head at her childishness.
Tiara knows that maybe one day she would stop loving Jeremy Ed but the day is definitely not near because she always feels the feelings come to surface when she sees the man's face, pinning after him isn't doing her any good but she can't stop herself, she isn't able to.
'You know, I would advise you to marry a man that you don't love but he loves you than a man who you loves but he doesn't reciprocate the feelings," A voice said behind them and they turned to look at the person that talked, a scream left Tiara's lips yet again when she saw Trisha standing there.
'Oh my god! I missed you a lot! You are back from that trip?" She asked to hug her and Trisha nodded when they weren't hugging anymore.
She moved to hug Sapphire and Gladys with a huge smile on her face, Trisha knew that these people are her only source of happiness, it is only when she is here that she is genuinely happy, her sister in law can't do any shits in front of them and they don't make fun of the fact that she is from a middle class family.
'How was your trip?" Gladys asked.
'Tell me about it, it was so awful. I prayed every second that we would go home as soon as possible, his girlfriend tagged along too. Fucking horrible if you ask me about it," Trisha complained and they stared at her in pity.
'Our group of friends is really messed up. There is me who can't stop loving a man who in a thousand years would never look at me and has this very hot secretary with him every time," Tiara said.
'I heard that his secretary is Heather's sister," Trisha said and Tiara nodded.
'Fiona?" Sapphire asked and she nodded once again.
'Then there is Trisha who is stuck in a loveless and abusive marriage she just wants to get out of but is unable to, her in-laws are douche and the husband had a girlfriend, who they refused to admit is just a mistress." Tiara continued and Tiara nodded.
'You are on point, ten over ten."
'Then there is Gladys who haven't seen her husband since the night they got married which was three years ago,"
'Even though we were in love with each other three years ago," Gladys added with a nod.
'And lastly, there's Sapphire who has a happy marriage, good friends, nice employees but the shittiest of all shitty families you could ever have." She finished and they all laughed.
'It is really messed up, isn't it?" Sapphire said and they all nodded.
'But there is something I am curious about," Trisha said and they all nodded for her to continue.
'How did you even get the fifty percent shares your grandmother left for you? I mean . . . adding your shares with your grandmother's equals a little more than twenty five percent," Trisha said.
'Uh . . . about that." Sapphire said and wrapped her hand around Tiara's shoulder. 'My late grandmother made this friend of mine keep the shares for the past five years, with a deal that she would pass it to me when I needed it. I didn't even know anything about it. So imagine my shock when I heard that the shares had been passed to me, I am sure that the family must be going crazy at the moment. I made sure to give this sweetheart a whack though," Sapphire explained and they all nodded in realization.
-----------------
The Smiths sat down in front of Heather, all of them staring at each other with no words, Heather's eyes keep flickering to Miranda who was sitting at the corner of the room, she was shocked when she saw someone who look so much like her enter the room, even the detective was speechless and her father and mother had to do some explanation.
She couldn't remember ever knowing her and as much as she tried to remember, she didn't remember ever knowing a sister other than Fiona even though they all claimed that they used to sleep in the same room. And there is this feeling of fear she feels whenever their eyes meet, her heart rate is not supposed to pick up whenever she sees someone she is seeing for the first time.
'Are you sure about this?" The female detective who had been keeping her eyes on them asked Mike and he nodded.
'Yes, I am sure that Oliver is definitely up to something," Mike replied, the door opened and a woman entered.
'Hi, Detective, nice to meet you, I am Dr. Emmy," The woman said and the detective stared at her in confusion. 'Hi Mike," She greeted casually.
'Hi Emmy," he replied before turning to the detective. 'This is the Hypnotist I hired, I feel that it would work better with making her remember her memory, I mean, the lost and foggy ones."
'Okay, that's a good idea. That's your patient. Ms. Heather Smith," Mike said pointing to Heather and Emmy stare at Heather in confusion before shaking her head.
'That's not Heather," Emmy said and they stared at her in surprise.
