ADDISON MANSION

Kenneth smiled and reconnected back their lips.. He lifted her and she instinctively wrapped her legs round his waist.

He took slow strides towards her bed with their tongues dancing on each other. Kenneth gently placed her on the bed and then cupped her cheek.

He broke the kiss and smiled at her before kissing the tip of her nose and then her forehead, he laid down beside her.

Savannah wrapped her hands round his waist and placed her head on his chest, smiling so wide.

“Does this remind you something?” Kenneth spoke.

“The time I got drunk so I forced you to sleep over” Savannah said and Kenneth chuckled before nodding.

“I love you Savvy..” Kenneth said, stroking her hair.

“Me too baby” Savannah replied and closed her eyes..

“So we’re now a thing…right?” Kenneth spoke and Savannah opened her eyes.

“Would i kiss you back if we were not?” She looked up at him.

He smiled and kissed her forehead..

“You’re smiling too much today” Savannah said.

“Just for you love” Kenneth said.

Savannah smiled and came closer to him, hugging him more…

NEWS STATION

🗣 They look so cute together!

🗣 Yeah, you’re right!!

🗣 Seems fake to me

🗣 She stole my Nick!!.

All eyes were fixed on Brittany and Nicholas who were kissing. Some even began making videos of them.

Brittany pushed him away angrily and raised her hand to slap him.

“You can’t slap me in front of all these eyes. I’m your boyfriend remember?” Nicholas smirked.

Brittany glared daggers at him as she slowly lowered her hand to her sides. She entered the car and slammed the door shut..

Nicholas smiled and licked his lips before entering the car. He looked at Brittany who held a furious look on her face.

“Britt..”

“Drive before I kíll you” Brittany said and looked out of the window.

Nicholas smiled and leaned closer to her.

“I’m sorry okay?” Nicholas said and pecked her cheek.

What followed was a punch on Nicholas’s face. His eyes rolled to the back, he could swear he saw stars.

“Didn’t I just tell you to drive!!” Brittany grabbed his collar and yelled. She even balled her fists, ready to throw another punch.

Luckily the windows were tinted so nobody could see what was happening inside.

“Okay.. I will drive” Nicholas swallowed hard.

Brittany released him and looked out of the window. Nicholas winced and touched his nose which was bleeding lightly.

“Are you Tarzan’s sister or what?” He pouted and ignited the engine, driving off…

HAYES VILLA

“Hahahahhahahah!!!” Xavier laughed loudly as he watched the news, beside him was Aidan.

The look on his face was definitely something to write home about. He was frozen on the spot as he watched the news.

How could she have gotten the video? Who gave her?

His mind was a mess as he watched the news. Only one person could be helping her.

Nicholas!!

“I told you right? I told you that that wench called Sandy will be the cause of your downfall but you didn’t listen” Xavier said and laughed loudly..

He picked his phone and laughed more when he saw the comments of the people who watched the news.

💬 Brittany Rodriguez all the way!!

💬 Now it all makes sense. Gosh!! Aidan and Sandy disgust me!!

💬 Aidan and Sandy power couple. More like stúpid couple to me

💬 Who else thinks Nicholas and Brittany are made for each other?

💬 Atleast they didn’t cheat before dating each other.

💬 I want Brittany back as a model😭

Almost everyone now is in support of Brittany.

“I’ll advice you to switch off your phone son” Xavier said, reading all the comments while laughing.

“Shut up dad!!” Aidan snapped angrily.

“Babe!!” Sandy rushed in breathing heavily.

“And here comes future Mrs Hayes” Xavier said sarcastically.

He laughed as he left the living room.

“Babe… Did you see the news? Did you see what Brittany said about us?” Sandy said tearfully.

“Calm down babe, I promise I’ll solve all these” Aidan said and hugged her, trying as much as possible to conceal his anger.

“How? That idíot cornered us really bad. We can’t even escape this time around…” Sandy pushed him away in tears.

She stormed out of the place in tears. Aidan wasn’t even having the strength to chase behind her. He just sat down on the floor and buried his face in his hands.

RODRIGUEZ VILLA

CRASH!!!

Hailey threw her glass angrily on the floor that it shattered in many pieces. The maid standing beside her flinched in fear.

She immediately brought out her phone and made a phone call.

“Thought you told me they weren’t dating!! That it was all just a plan!!” Hailey yelled angrily on the phone.

“That’s what she told me boss. That it was all just a plan, I don’t understand what’s happening” The person said.

“You’re so incompetent!!” Hailey yelled and hung up.

Her plan won’t work if these two end up dating or worst falling in love. No!, she has to find a way to separate them by all means..

Valerie rushed in the house and headed upstairs. She was at one of her photoshoots when she saw the news and even though she already knew about it, it still hurts so bad.

Hailey smirked and followed Valerie behind. She got in her room and met Valerie crying loudly.

“Baby..” Hailey approached her and hugged her back.

“Just why! Why must she take away everything I treasure so much!! Now is Nick,, he’s my first love mom..” Valerie cried.

“Don’t worry baby. I’ll help you have Nicholas all to yourself” Hailey cleaned her tears and kissed her forehead.

“Really mom?” Valerie said childishly and Hailey nodded before smiling.

Valerie slowly smiled too and nodded.

“C’mon,, don’t tell you’re still màd” Nicholas said when Brittany brought him a file to sign while glaring at him.

His nose stopped bleeding but it was still slightly red.

“Sign the papers boss” Brittany said.

“Okay, I’m sorry” Nicholas said.

“Sir. I have a lot of work to do.” Brittany frowned.

“Britt…” Nicholas eyed her and she sighed.

“Okay, I forgive you. Now sign the papers so I can go” Brittany said and frowned more.

“Smile then” Nicholas said.

“Huh?”

“I’m your boss so I order you to smile” Nicholas smirked.

Brittany frowned more, her brows almost touching each other.

“Okay okay” Nicholas laughed and signed the papers before handing it back to her.

She took it and hit his nose with it..

“Ouch!!” Nicholas winced.

“Now I forgive you” She smirked and left his office.

Nicholas rubbed his nose as a smile slowly spread across his lips.

LILLY’S RESTAURANT

“Wow! It must be cool living with a star like Brittany” Rhett said as they watched the news.

“She’s so cool and nice though. I support her wholeheartedly in her revenge” Jessica said and kept her phone back..

Suddenly, Rhett’s phone began ringing.

“Oh it’s my mom..” Rhett muttered and picked up.

“Mom?” He smiled.

His smile slowly fell at what he’s hearing.

“What!!” Rhett exclaimed.

“I’m on my way..” Rhett said and hung up.

“What’s wrong?” Jessica asked.

“It’s my mom.. She convulsed again, she’s currently at the hospital” Rhett said.

“What!?”

“I need to go” Rhett said, wearing his jacket.

“I’m coming with you” Jessica said.

Rhett nodded and they both rushed out of the restaurant together.

*******

“Mom!” Rhett exclaimed as he ran to the direction he was shown to with Jessica tailing behind him.

He opened the door and met the doctor checking up on Mrs Smith. She was still unconscious but her vitals were now stable.

Rhett exhaled out in relief.

“Mr Rhett Smith right?” The doctor said and Rhett nodded.

“Good thing the neighbors rushed her here before it got worse. Apparently she got a fracture on her left leg which she has been carrying for long. That fracture is the cause of her fever and if it isn’t treated earlier, I fear it will only make things worse. Maybe she won’t be able to use the leg in the few months coming” The doctor said.

Rhett sighed and nodded. He knows about it, that’s why he’s been working his @ss out so he can save up enough money for the operation.

“Okay doctor” Rhett nodded and the doctor smiled politely before leaving.

Rhett sighed and sat down next to Mrs Smith. He stroke her hair and kissed her forehead..

“I’m sorry Rhett” Jessica placed her hand on his shoulder..

“I was 12 when my father left us for another woman. Ever since then, my mom was the one doing everything.. She made sure I went to school like the other kids, she struggled and paid for my high school and college fees. A months ago she got into an accident which fractured her left leg.. The doctor said we need to straighten the bone but the operation was too costly. I took it upon myself to search for the money to sponsor her operation but the money I gathered so far is just enough to bill her out of here.” Rhett said sadly.

“I’m sorry” Jessica rubbed his back and sighed.

THE WHITE HOUSE

“Ashley!!” Kenneth exclaimed when he came back home and went to see Ashley.

Her eyes were so red and puffy and her hair unkempt.

“What did you do to yourself? You’re lucky mom and dad went for a trip” Kenneth said and knelt down next to her.

He cupped her cheek, checking her out..

“Why must it hurt? Huh?” Ashley said as new rounds of tears came out.

Kenneth just stared at her in confusion.

“He told me that he doesn’t like me. That we can never be a thing… It hurts Ken!” Ashley cried.

Kenneth just hugged her, rubbing her back..

“I’m sorry Ash” He muttered and kissed her hair.

“I’m I not beautiful? I’m I so bad?” Ashley cried and hugged him more.

“Shh!, it’s okay. You can’t force love,, if he says so then you can’t do anything about it” Kenneth said softly.

“I hàte love” Ashley mumbled.

“Thought you said you and boss were just pretending?” Paisley asked as they both left the company.

It was closing time.

“Well it’s long.. I’ll tell you everything tomorrow” Brittany said.

They got out and met Justin by his car as usual..

“Looks like you have a lot of fans” Paisley wiggled her brows and Brittany shook her head.

“Catch you later! I don’t wanna interrupt the moment” Paisley said and eyed Justin.

“You’re loco!” Brittany said and Paisley laughed before leaving.

Brittany walked to Justin with a smile on her lips but Justin held a straight look on his face.

“What’s up Justin” Brittany smiled.

“Are you and Nick really dating?” Justin asked rather sadly.

“Huh? I see the news spreads rather too fast” Brittany smirked.

“Please answer me” Justin said softly and held her hand.

Brittany looked at his hand and then at his face..

“I have something I really wish to tell you Britt” Justin said and bit his lips.

Brittany just looked at him, waiting for him to talk.

“Britt I..”

“Babe”

They both turned their faces to Nicholas who had a rather cold look on his face. He came closer to them with his gaze not leaving Justin’s hand which held Brittany.

“Why are you holding my girlfriend like that?” Nicholas asked and looked at Justin.

“I just want to speak to her”

“So you now speak with the hand” Nicholas raised a brow.

He turned his gaze to Brittany..

“Come love, I’ll drop you home” Nicholas said.

“But she’s my neighbor. I’ll drop her home” Justin said.

Nicholas glared at him.

“And she’s my girlfriend” Nicholas said.

“And I’m her friend and she didn’t even agree to go with you. You can’t just order her around like she’s a slave” Justin frowned.

“You-”

“Enough!” Brittany said and removed her hand from Justin’s grip. She looked at the two of them and rolled her eyes before taking a taxi.

Nicholas glared at Justin who stood his ground.

THE MORGAN’S

“Thanks, you can keep the change” Brittany said to the cab man and began walking to the entrance.

“What’s wrong with them?” Brittany frowned and opened the door.

“Mommy!!” She was welcomed with Alex’s voice.

Alex rushed and hugged her tightly..

“I love you mom!” He said happily.

Brittany smiled and picked him up..

“Wow, what’s happening?” Brittany chuckled.

“I saw the news with Granny. She told me that Mr Nick is my father!!” Alex said happily.

“What!!”
