Jane caught Heather on her right hand and she turned immediately. Jane left her arm and stood at akimbo, staring at Heather.
“Hi!”“Who are you?”“I’m Jane”“Okay Jane, why are you stopping me?”“You have to come back please”“Wha-what are you saying?”“You have to come back to Strings. They sent me to fetch you back before you board the Aero plane” Jane said loudly, chuckling and staring at Harry.“Mom said we are gonna be back. Right Mom?” Harry looked at Heather.“Yeah we were gonna be back. I only came to grab some stuffs”“This is an airport, not a supermarket.“Yeah! Really?”“Yeah” “Who sent you to fetch us back? Killian?”“My Mom”“Your Mom?”“Sophia!” Jane mentioned and Heather was surprised.“Oh! cool” “Yeah!” Jane sighed.“I don’t actually think that I’m going back with you. Am really sorry but the situation is kind of out my league and I don’t wanna hurt myself any longer”“I hope you understand what I’m saying?”“No!” Jane exhaled and got Heather staring at her.“I should be going then” Heather smiled to her and turned to leave but Jane held her hand again.“I’m sorry but you can’t” Jane replied and Heather stared at her in a wry way.“Excuse me?”“Look I don’t know what went on between you and my uncle and trust me, I don’t wanna know but can we just put every shit aside and talk like ladies?”“You are not a lady”“I’m 18 and in high school”“That doesn’t make you a lady. You are just a kid” “I appreciate the compliment but please just follow me to the mall” “No I’m not doing that” Heather refused.“What about the deal? The-the wedding dress deal?”“I don’t need it anymore” “Seriously?”“Yeah, seriously. I got a flight to book, see ya” “I wanna play with Molly Mom” Harry said to Heather.“No you don’t wanna play with Molly” Heather cautioned him immediately and Jane stared at her and scoffed.“Is that it?” “What?”“Is that why you wanna leave?”“Because Killian has a daughter and a fiancée?”“What would you do if you were in my shoes?”“Welcome everything in open arms?”“Why did you come in the first? If you knew all this, why did you come?” “I didn’t knew I was gonna come work for Killian”“So it’s a coincidence?” Jane continued.“What do you want from me?” Heather asked her.“I like you”“And?” “Okay fine. Let’s make a deal. This is how it’ll go, you follow me back and I will steal Killian’s credit for you” she said and Heather was speechless.“Okay fine. I won’t steal his credit card but I’ll make him divorce Riley. Deal?”“No deal”“Oh please come on. I just got access to my Mom’s car today and I really want to hang out with my friends right now”“With the car?”“Of course. Do we have a deal?”“Please?” she begged. Just then, Sophia and Killian approached them in a hurry. Harry hugged Sophia while Jane groaned.“No! Mom why did you come?”“Hi!” Killian smiled to Heather.“Your boy is liking me already Miss Heather”“The kid looks like Uncle Killian. What am I missing or are you keeping secrets from me now Uncle?”“Can we talk later Jane?”“Fine. I’ll be in the car” She smothered and left them.“Miss Heather, I really don’t think it’s a great for you to leave”“I wasn’t leaving” She lied.“This is an airport”“Yeah and I like staying at the airports” “Heather look, I’m sorry about everything going on right now”“Can I just go back to Russia please? I really wanna go home. I can’t do this with you guys. I really can’t” “What about the kid?” Sophia asked.“What about the kid?” Heather responded.“He’s Killian son and you just can’t take him back. He has to spend some time with his father” Sophia said and Heather stared disappointedly at Killian.“Why are you so dumb and stupid” Heather chuckled at Killian.“I’m sorry about all of this inconveniences Heather. I just don’t know what to do”“You are a boss and bosses controls people and thing but you, you only keep quiet and let your sister run how you live your life”“Excuse me?” Sophia scoffed imperceptibly.“Yeah that’s how everything in Strings works. You control everything”“Miss Heather, you are getting provoked and I don’t know why”“See? You stopped talking and she’s now the one talking” Heather stared at Killian.“I don’t….”“What? You want me to live in the same roof with Riley your favorable fiancée? That’s bullshit to me” she interrupted Killian.“Miss Heather, we want you to know that we care about your feeling and the pains you got into five years ago but right now, we need you to listen”“We might have quite a solution to this but you need to cope along with the plans and solutions”“I can’t do what doesn’t suit me. Just know this and leave my life alone. I have a business to run in Russia” She blurted and turned to leave. “Come on Harry” “She owns it” Killian said slowly and Heather paused.“What are you doing Killian?” Sophia tried to stop him. Heather turned, staring at him directly in the eyes.“She owns everything. The building, the clothes, me, everything. It all belongs to her” Killian said slowly.“Fuck!” Sophia said slowly and headed out of the airport.“I’m gonna wait in the car” she added and left. Heather was still staring at Killian.“What do you mean?”“I don’t own Strings Clothing. I’m just an actor acting as the boss of everything?”“How did this happen?” She asked slowly.“Five years ago. December, I got blackmailed but Riley and her father saved the company on one condition”“That you marry Riley?”“Now the company is signed under the Chang’s family” Killian chuckled lightly.“I’m a failure and I don’t wanna lose you Heather please” “Uh! We got a problem. Jane left with the car” Sophia interrupted.Thirty minutes later, a cab dropped Heather and Sophia at an apartment.“Your bags are inside already” Sophia said on their way in. “Thank you for that”“So what do you think?” “Think about what?” Heather wore off the white gown she was wearing.“About what Killian told you” Sophia said and unlocked the door. Heather and Harry walked in first before Sophia. “I think he’s lying to me about all the shit he said”“What?” Sophia scoffed unbelievably.“If you thought he was lying, why the hell did you come back?”“Killian lied to me and I wanna know why he did that. I wanna know what really happened to him”“Really?” Sophia scoffed again and dropped the contained bags on the table in the dinning. “Or do you wanna tell me instead?” Heather looked at Sophia, hanging her dress on the hanger behind the door.“Are you teasing me Miss Heather?”“No I’m just concerned about your brother who might become my husband one day, that’s all”“Are you sure? Or are planning on how to fix yourself
7:45, Heather arrived the lobby and was welcomed by Ben. She was wearing a thick red gown and a black hill shoe. Ben was surprised when he saw her. He was carrying two glasses of wine. “Oh mamacita, you look just like Anna” Ben stood beside her and stared at her head to toe. “You look good too Ben” Heather smiled to him.“I’m glad you came” he handed one glass of wine to Heather.“There are many people in here already?”“Nobody wanna wanna miss Strings festival in Beijing. Beijing worships us and that’s a secret”“Festival? Sophia said it’s only cloth showcasing”“Cloth showcasing festival” he scoffed and Heather chuckled.“Are you okay Miss Heather?” Ben asked after a short pause.“This place is really beautiful. The lights, stage and everything” Heather said, looking around the lobby and Ben scoffed imperceptibly.“Yeah, the stage is for the models. Some of them are already testing their designs”“That’s awesome”“I can’t wait to see you as a model, walking down the stage, smi
“Okay I’m gonna ask you another question but after that, promise me that you are gonna sleep” Jane said and Harry nodded off.“You can’t sleep?” she asked and Harry nodded in.“It’s fine but I’m gonna ask you the question”“What if you wake up one day and found out that you are the only person in the world, what will you do?”“I will steal a PS5 and GTA from a game shop”“Are you kidding me? Games?” Jane chuckled and Harry smiled.“I like games”“Yeah every boy likes games. What’s your favorite color Harry?”“Green”“Green? Why? I thought normal likes blue or yellow while freaks and weird ones likes red and black”“I’m not in the parts you classified” Harry responded.“So tell me, why do you like the green color?”“My favorite superhero is Green Lantern. I hate Superman but I love the fact that green light hurts him” “Okay you are a villain right now” Jane peeped at him and he giggled.“What about Iron Man? Every kid loves Iron Man”“My Mom likes Iron Man”“So your Mom is a kid? Is t
8am, Killian met Sophia at her home. Sophia was arranging breakfast at the dining table when Killian arrived.“Killian? What are you doing here this early?” Sophia was startled when she saw him holding his black suit on his left arm.“Good morning to you too” Killian scoffed and dropped the suit on the arm of the iron chair in front of the table. “I checked you up last night but you were nowhere to be found. Where did you go last night Killian?”Sophia asked and headed to the fridge.“Where’s Jane?” he asked slowly and sat on the chair he dropped his suit on. “In her room, dressing up for school. Why do you ask?” she brought a container of milk to the table.“Someone is threatening Heather. They are trying to blackmail her” Killian whispered and Sophia paused.“And you think it’s Jane?”“She’s smart”“So you were at Heather’s apartment last night huh?” Sophia asked and chuckled.“What were you guys doing? Having sex?” “The stalker is stalking her and the kid. She’s uncomfortable
7:10am, Jane’s home. “Jane you gotta be fast, the luxury bus is about to leave” Sophia said loudly. “I’m coming I’m coming” She ran out from her room hastily. She arrived the dining and grabbed a doughnut.“Bye mum, Hi Killian”“Hi Jane”“Kisses baby. Take care and don’t bully anyone” Sophia added and Jane ran out of the house and ran straight into the bus. She sighed heavily immediately she hopped into the bus. With her beautiful blue eyes, she searched for an empty chair in the bus while some students were staring. Her eyes caught the last empty seat at the last row and she hurried to it and sat down. Smiling, she brought out her face through the window and the cool and sweet morning wind kept blowing her face and hair. As she was enjoying the beautiful view and morning wind, some old memories of her and her late dad started to flow in her mind.“That is risky” a male voice brought her attention back to the bus.A sweet voice. She turned immediately and had an eye contact with t
9:32am, Heather and Helena were still gazing at each other. Ben peeped at their faces slightly and cleared his throat.“Wait! You know each other?” Ben asked and Helena turned to the guards with her.“Wait outside, I’m fine” she mumbled to them and they strutted out of the mall. Helena returned her eyes back Heather, glaring at her.“I’m gonna give you guys some space to talk about the cloth” Ben mumbled and flitted out after a short imperceptible sigh. “What are you doing here Heather? Do you know the trouble you are in?”“Turns out that I am the special designer for your special wedding Your Highness” Heather grumbled.“This is insane”“What is insane? That I am now a successful lady?”“Lady? Did you just call yourself a lady?” “Oh spare me that harassment”“You shouldn’t have come back to Beijing Heather. This is very wrong and risky for you”“Risky? For me or for you?” Heather muttered.“This is not a joke Heather, this is not a dainty. This is full of pains and regret and it is
“What did she say to you?” Killian whispered to Heather.“Nothing, we just had a casual conversation” Heather said and Killian glanced at her and sat on the chair. Heather stared at him for a while and scoffed.“What did she say to you Miss Heather?”“When were you gonna tell me?” she muttered, gazing at him.“What? Tell you what?”“How many more women did you get pregnant Killian?”“5? 6? 7?” “What are you even deriving from doing this? You are not even that famous to me” Heather jabbered and scoffed.“I’m even talking like I’m excited about this whole bullshit” she added. “Is it about Riley?” Killian prattled and Heather nodded.“Tell me about Riley”“This is a whole to take in Heather. I thought you were fine with everything”“Fine with everything? Are you kidding me? How do you expect me to be happy with all this shit”“You never talked about it the other night”“Because I never want to talk about it” Heather cried.“This-this whole shit going on, the threats, I’m all fed up wit
Jane, Max and Jake stood in front of Principal Clinton’s table, staring at the mean chubby tall lady in front of them. Max was bleeding from his nose while Principal Clinton kept glowering at him. Jane glanced at Max’s nose and sighed out slowly.“Are you gonna allow that erythrocyte to drop on my desk?” the Principal growled at Max and he wiped out the blood dripping down his nostril.“What happened Jane?” Principal Clinton asked Max glanced at Jane sharply.“It was an accident Ma’am”“Yeah I know it’s an accident Jane. I just wanna know what caused the accident”“They got into a tiny stupid misunderstanding about a stupid stuff and then…” she paused talking, staring at the Principal.“And then what?” Principal muttered.“The accident happened”“So it was a stupid accident?” she added and Jane nodded.“Alright then, see you both in the detention room” “Both” “Max is free. Jane and Jake are detained till class is over today” “What?” Jane scoffed.“This is not fair” Jake mutter
