Writer's POV
Daniel D'connell was clearly furious as Layla gave him a call about serving VIP 7/8: meaning seven out of eight VIP's she had. He was actually in Las Vegas to see one of his high school friends when he got her call. Daniel just couldn't believe it, especially when Layla said Brandon Millman was one of them. Brandon is one of the most corrupt despicable CEOs in America, it was due to his dirty ways that he climbed to the top, he's a rotten egg.
"You bastard!"
Daniel was blind with rage as he bounced back, after giving Brandon a heavy punch. Brandon, who was sprawled on the floor, grunted in pain as he held his head. He sprang up and surged towards Daniel, the two other men holding him back from coming close to Daniel.
Paige was on her feet now, a smile tugged at her lips in relief, but she masked it and rushed towards Daniel.
"What did you do that for?" Daniel's face was filled with worry as he said, "are you okay? Hope that douchebag didn't touch you?"
Paige shook her head but mumbled a "yes" under her breath, Daniel's face took a turn and gave Mohican Head, Brandon Millman a kick in his stomach.
"Arrgh!"
He yelled out as he staggered back, his body twitching in pain "who the hell are you?! And why are you beating me?!" Brandon was angry! This guy from nowhere just barged in and began to kick him! And his friends were holding him back from retaliating!
"You don't know him?!" The middle aged man, Steve Hills whisper-yelled bug-eyed. Steve Hills, one of the world famous judges in America, had almost peed himself when he saw Daniel D'connell walk in. Who didn't know President Darren's twin brother? The Mafia twins.
Brandon really was a fool to not recognize Daniel!
"I don't need you to know me bastard! But you dare touch Paige with your filthy hands! You must fucking see hell!" Daniel roared, his sinister voice making the whole room quake in fear. Paige herself was surprised, her heart softening, she had never seen Daniel this furious before, she was touched.
"And who the hell are you?"
Paige's sister, Paula Lee sneered as she walked up to Daniel proudly, wondering who the dude that protected her sister was. The other two men, Steve Hills and Alexander Craig had frozen with their jaws dropped. Paula was wishing for death!
"Ohhh! There's a bitch among you?!"
A laughter rumbled in Daniel's chest as he uttered, "isn't Paige your sister?"
"Sister?!"
The three men chorused.
"I thought she became an escort since she's been kicked out from her company!" Paula said disdainfully, with an enigmatic smile on, her two hands on her hips.
To say Paige was shocked would be an understatement, she couldn't believe what her biological sister was saying! "Paula it's me! Paige!" She howled.
Paula Lee's eyes were fixed on Daniel, she wasn't even bothered about Paige, "who really are you? To protect this dumb girl?!"
It was as if a knife pierced through Paige's heart, her hands were already trembling, she was stupefied, but she held her cool.
"Paula! Stop digging your grave! He's President Darren's twin brother!" Alexander Craig yelled out as he rushed to drag Paula from Daniel's view, Daniel was grinning but they all knew his smile was the deadly weapon to crush people.
"Mr Daniel D'connell, we didn't know this woman..." Alexander paused and pointed towards Paige, "is yours... Please sir, don't be annoyed with us!" He bowed fearfully. Steve Hills, who gave the open-mouthed Brandon Millman a knock on the head, shouted from where he was "Mr D'connell, my apologies! We'll take our leave!"
"Guys, make sure no one dare take a step out of here"
Daniel's freezing voice made them all shudder. Alexander Craig, the son of one of the top 5 billionaires in America, had his two hands on his head. Alexander knew he was doomed! He shouldn't have brought Brandon along with them! Alexander lurched towards Brandon clutching the edge of his shirt with much strength! "You idiot!" He really wanted to beat him into a pulp!
Steve Hills face contorted, "stop it! It won't solve the problem!" Tried to pry off Alexander from Brandon.
Paula Lee's hardened face stared at Paige with hatred, Paige even doubted if she was her sister!
"Let them go Daniel, please..."
"Paige what are you saying?!"
"The fault is not theirs! This wouldn't have happened if Layla was here!"
Paige said as a matter of fact, "shit! if it's because of your sister--"
"Daniel just let them go!"
Paige yelled out, her eyes squeezed shut in annoyance, thank goodness that day was her last day at Layla's.
She was getting the fuck outta here!
Paige gave the men a good glance, she bowed and said, "I apologise for the inconveniences".
Brandon was the first person to reply, "I'm so sorry!" He was almost kneeling but his knees slammed the ground suddenly, due to Steve and Alexander's who pushed him. "We apologise" they pleaded, with heads bowed in respect.
Paige Lee without giving them a reply walked out of the room with a heavy heart, not taking a look back at her sister.
*
Her head was pounding, her heart ripped into shreds, Paige had a lot of questions to ask from her sister. Like, why didn't they reach out to her for more than five years? She had tried to reach them but to no avail... And they knew she had hit rock bottom.
Was it really because she married Jong Suk?
Are they really her family?
Dumping her clothes into the red traveling box forcefully, Paige let out a slow breath, she needed to leave. Her vibrating cell phone on the bed called her attention. And without checking the caller ID, she swiped the answer icon, pressing the speaker button.
"Paige Lee speaking"
"Where do you think you're going?"
A loud husky voice reverberated through the whole room. Paige paused what she was doing and rechecked the caller ID, it was an unknown number.
"Who is this please?" She asked with furrowed brows, picking up her shoes from the shoe rack.
"It's me"
The sound of a loud moan echoed in Paige's ear, her shoes dropping from her hands as a result.
Darren D'connell.
"Layla called me", he said breathing heavily, Paige could hear a loud shriek underneath his voice. What was happening?
"You failed the test"
Paige almost snapped at him, "what nonsense are you saying?"
"Ahhhh! Right there!"
Paige heard again, her eyes rounding immediately at the realisation that Darren was having sex! That brute was enjoying himself while she was suffering here?!
"You didn't know that you would pass a test after one month of Art of Seduction lessons?"
Paige frowned deeply, her head about to burst at Darren's words, if what he said was true, then Layla must be aware too!
What a best friend! To hell with her!
"You failed the test, thereby taking the class again" Darren let out a loud raspy moan, almost losing focus.
A flush creeps across her cheeks, but she still couldn't help the anger coursing through her whole body! She was staying at Layla's for another month?!
"Fuck you Darren!" She screeched, picking and throwing her shoes at the mirror, leading to a loud crash!
"I'm fucking someone right now little kid, I don't mind if you join us"
Darren's mocking voice said, and he made a low rough grunt before hanging up the call.
Paige gripped her hair, almost tearing it off in fury! She was going to kill Darren!
