SCARLETT'S POV,

I walked into the mansion, feeling knackered as usual. My face was pale and my hair was messy:

"Good evening, Miss Briggs" the maids greeted.

"Thank you, how are y'all?" I asked sweetly.

"Very well, Scar" They responded.

I had grown fond of the maids that I even share some of my clothes and goodies with them.

Unlike Joane, I was a sweet and calm person. One might even wonder,

'How did I become friends with her?'

I walked into the kitchen and found the head maid cooking, I ran to hug her from behind, pecking her cheek. She was an old lady.

"Good evening madam Zoe" I greeted.

"Oh! My baby's back from school... I know you must be tired and famished, so I prepared your favourite fruit juice. It's in the fridge... Take it" Madam Zoe said with a smile.

"Aww... Thanks a lot, madam Zoe... I love you" I said, pecking her cheek again.

"Save these kisses for your boyfriend"

"Okay... Where's Dad?" I asked.

"He is upstairs in his room" she said.

"What about Mom?" I inquired.

"She hasn't returned yet"

"Thought so... She doesn't have Time for me any more" I said sadly.

"Don't be sad baby... Now, go upstairs, freshen up and come down for dinner"

"Okay madam Zoe" I said, walking away with the juice.

My life and relationship with my family wasn't as sweet as I was. I got into my room, taking off my shoes and bag, I sat on the bed.

Shortly, my phone beeped which signified a message. It was from Angelo and I clicked on the message, reading through.

💬 "Hey scar, I'm inviting you

Over to my house for dinner...

There's gonna be a lot to eat

And then you'll get to meet

My elder bro. I've invited

Joane so she's on her way.

Be there soon.

💬 "Okay, I'll be there soon".

I dropped my phone on the bed, rushing into the bathroom to freshen up.

I changed my clothes into a peach gown and sneakers before leaving the house:

"Sorry madam Zoe, I'll pass on dinner... Going for dinner at Angelo's"

"Okay baby" she said as I left.

-> ANDRES FAMILY MANSION.

A gasp left my lips as I walked into the mansion. It was richly furnished and smelt of wealth. Angelo walked up to me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Welcome to my home, cutie" Angelo cooed making me blush.

"Thank you" I said with a sweet smile after we parted.

Shortly, Joane walked into the mansion with a straight face.

"Thanks for inviting me over for dinner... And finally, we'll get to meet your elder brother you've always talked about" Joane said beaming up.

"He could be your dream guy" I teased.

"Yuck! I don't think so" Joane blurted.

"Watch your tongue... He's my brother" Angelo whined.

"So? Let's get on with the dinner... I'm starving here" Joane snapped.

"same here" I whined.

"Wait until you see him... Come on foodies, let's go and eat" Angelo said with a chuckle.

-> DINNING HALL

Foods and drinks were being placed on the table by the maids. They rushed in with different foods, both Spanish and American foods; like: paella, tapas, espanola, churrus and more.

"Disfrute de su comida- (Enjoy you there"metal)" Mrs maria Andres spoke in Spanish.

Since we were all from Spain, we understood what she said and nodded.

Miguel walked downstairs, moving into the dinning hall. Everyone saw him except Joane, who was too engrossed in her food.

"Buenas noches mamá y papá- (Good evening mom and Dad)" Miguel voiced out but Joane didn't bother to look at him.

"Toma tu asiento hijo- (have your seat son)" Mr Andres said as Miguel sat down, he keenly looked at our faces but he couldn't get a clear view of Joane's face.

"Hey Lina.. Angelo's brother is here" I said bringing her back into reality. She looked up and that was when her gaze met his.

"Oh dios mio, señor frío- (Oh my gosh, Mr cold)" Joane gasped.

"Miss rudey" Miguel spoke in fluent English.

"Qué pasa Miguel, la conoces de algún lado?- (What's wrong Miguel, do you know her from somewhere?)" Angelo asked.

Joane stood up, picking up her bag, trying to leave.
