Jules, in triumphing eyes, jumped out of her chair and wrapped her hands around Walter’s neck, planting a loud, exaggerated kiss on his lips. “Oh, Walter! You’re so amazing. My hero.”

She giggled, clutching him, and watched Isaiah and his other friends bemoan their apparent defeat. “Some people just don’t get what real money tastes like.”

Jackson, Luke, and Jenny exchanged uneasy glances. They had seen the price tag on Jules’s outfit—fifty thousand dollars. It was a lot. And their pile of clothes, though not as flashy, was significantly larger.

Jenny's emerald dress alone was probably double Jules' total. Now Jenny felt some kind of fear rising up her stomach. Did they go too far? Could Isaiah really pull it off? He had seemed so confident when he talked, but the numbers looked so overwhelming.

Luke started to shift his weight and his eyes flitted anxiously between Isaiah and the huge display of clothes. Jackson just looked confused; there was a silent question in his eyes, ‘Are we

    "What?" Isaiah asked, drawing close to her, but she drew away from him. He stopped moving and she stopped. Around them was the sound of crickets chirping. "What do you mean by that? I don't hate you."Jenny had said what she said without giving it much thought. She just felt as though there was no other reason he was acting the way he was. She wiped the tears away from her eyes. "You want me to believe you don't enjoy seeing me suffer? Well, if you do not, then why have you not told me you love me too. I just confessed my feelings to you, Isaiah. What do you have to say?"Isaiah stuttered. Words failed him. "I...I don't know. I really don't know."Jenny looked at him with a blank expression on her face. One that would have been enough to paint any emotion on. Isaiah certainly did not know what to make of it. "Well, if you don't know, then I guess I'll just have to tell you goodnight" she said. "Have a great night and dream about that strange lady I saw you with."She was about to tur

    "So do you think you were successful?" Kate asked her master, Elena who laid flat on the couch physically fatigued."What are you talking about, Kate?" She asked, her speech was in a drawl. "You have to be clearer with your speech, you know... I am so tired that I can't move as much as I want...""I am talking about Isaiah, my lady" she said, nodding her head in a slight bow. "I wanted to know if the mission you went with him was successful. You have not spoken as much about him since you went on the trip with him. I really would like to know what happened.""You speak as if you did not appear there out of nowhere, there, Kate" Elena said, crouching up from the couch. The fan overhead spinning. "You know how it all went down. I can't start pretending you did not see. By the way, why did you go there?""I am your servant, my lady" Kate said. "You should know this and all of it. I cannot leave your side when you go risking your life like that. I have to watch from the shadows and make

    The room had become awkward faster than any one of them could blink. Jenny did not even know what to react to it. She had not eaten much of the food. Jackson had eaten his food considerably, and tried his best ignoring the scene of the couples arguing. Luke couldn't ignore it, but knew he had very little power over the whole thing so he continued eating.Isaiah stood up, finally unable to deal with the pressure around, caving in. "Sir, I appreciate the invite, I really do... But I think we might have overstayed our welcome. I think it's time to start moving on."Julia shot him a poisonous glance. If eyes could kill, Isaiah would have fallen face down on the table dead. Anthony sighed. "Look, I am sorry too..." He said. "I owe you an apology for what happened. Don't worry, I'll make it up for you a better day."Julia snorted at this, dabbed her lips with a handkerchief, stood up. "If you excuse me, I will be heading to my quarters." She walked away, hips swinging side to side. The

    Of course there were a lot of things in his mind. Too many things he'd rather swallow than spit out there on the table for all seven of them.Julia eyed him. A look of disdain. Isaiah was sure he was not the only one to have noticed him. She picked up a glass of wine from the table. Her fingers with, pedicured to look as though she was wearing nails made out of diamonds, twirled around the glass in a delicate fashion. She tapped the cup with it, producing a sound that reminded Isaiah's of the glass house he had broken into."So tell us about you..." She said. "So far, all the others have spoken and said something about themselves. All except you." Amidst the tensed look Anthony gave to him, Isaiah made sure to relax himself, leaning towards the table and grabbing a glass for himself. "Don't mind if I do..." He took a sip. The taste of soured apple flowed through his tongue. He nearly dropped it down. It was alcoholic and Isaiah disdained alcohol. But he stopped, not wanting to loose

    "Well, let's go," Isaiah said, noting the sneer on Anthony's face at his supposed blond son. Just what sort of a conversation did they have while he was away, he thought, as he marched onwards.While going Inside the house, Isaiah felt as though this was what it would be if someone was walking into the mouth of a shark. To their certain doom.Th family of three were sprawled around the table. There was a boy, or more accurately a young man, lounging with much recklessness on a chair. It was creaking and creating so much noise that he, Isaiah thought about telling him to stop. That was Fayour. The loud and arrogant twin to Nathan.There was a girl. Her face was small, carved around by platinum hair, but with several brown highlights across the hair, giving it a peacock look. She was pretty. This was Isaiah's half sister, if he could believe anything Anthony had said. He could see her brown eyes. There was a resemblance to Anthony. A resemblance he did not find in the looks of the othe

    Anthony felt himself shake, but held himself upright as soon as possible. He wouldn't let himself become so trepidated because he was in the presence of Nathan, who was very much just a boy in his early twenties."So when are you planning on telling mom?" Nathan said, to Anthony the words seem to come straight out of the blue. An unexpected thing that he never thought he would hear."What are you even talking about?" The silver haired old man asked, staring down at the young muscular man in front of him. "You're not going to tell me, are you?" Nathan asked. "You still want to play ignorant of everything? You still think I don't know what's going on?"The sun had begun to come out. For sometime now it has hidden behind the clouds. It shone clearly on Anthony's face."I am clear you don't know what's going on, Nathan. Because there is nothing going on. Except in your head, maybe. What are you thinking? I would like to know. You know we really have never had a conversation about the th
