**Aria's room**
I am so sorry I took so long, Aria. How about I read you my favorite bedtime story from when I was a young girl, Kayla said, holding a book and smiling at Aria. Aria nodded her head excitedly as she stretched out her hand for Kayla to pull her close while she read the story to her. So, once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a little girl, whose skin was fair as snow…. Kayla read, also yawning at the same time, she looked at Aria, and she was fast asleep, so she decided to lay close to her, until she was deeply asleep….
Jason opened the door and peeped to see what was going on. “Well, I'll be dammed” he said. She's actually good at this, she's still a woman fresh out of prison, can't trust her, not yet, he said, finally stepping into the room to cover Aria up and give a goodnight kiss to her. He stared at Kayla for a while before going to the other side of the bed to also cover her up. While he took the book out of her hands, Kayla adjusted and laid facing up. Jason leaned closer to stare but was caught by surprise when Kayla suddenly wrapped her hands round his neck, pulling him closer and closer until their noses touched each other and their lips brushed up with each other.
Wait, what?? Did I just kiss him?? Kayla screamed in her thoughts, she opened her eyes and closed it back. Let's just pretend it's a dream, she said in her thoughts while releasing her hands from his neck and turning to face Aria. Is she trying to seduce me?? No, just calm down, it was an accident. Jason thought to himself while walking out of the room, he stood in front of the door with his hand akimbo on his waist, trying to deduce what just happened in the room.
Kayla covered herself up and hid under the duvet in embarrassment. Jesus Kayla, what the hell was that? You just kissed your boss, she said in an inaudible voice, still very, very shy and red from blushing hard. Her lips were so soft, Jason said while still standing by the door and touching his lips slowly …
**The next morning**
Mr Anderson, would you like some breakfast? Kayla said immediately she saw Jason walking to the kitchen. Jason stared at her and got a flashback from the previous night. While staring at her lips, no need, I have to head out, he said as he walked out of the house. Did I piss him off? Is he acting weird because of last night? Kayla said, looking sad and worried at the same time. While she was having her breakfast, she got a text from Mr Anderson, “I left a file in the study, get it for me.
**The Anderson group**
Mr Anderson, I have the file in the lounge Kayla, called Jason, while pushing in Aria's stroller.
**Selena and mark**
Babe, my cousin pulled a lot of strings to get us to this meeting. We have to lock in this deal. Selena said, facing Mark and looking nervous, Relax baby, I've got this. Mark replied, holding her hand sweetly, I know you do, Selena said and kissed him, looking a little calm. While adjusting to sit, her eyes fell on Kayla and an instant of panic filled her. Kayla, she's out, she said, tucking and shaking Mark's hand violently.
What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in ? Mark said, standing abruptly and walking towards Kayla. I work here, Kayla responded, looking shocked to see both Selena and Mark. A worthless ex-con like you doesn't deserve to be in a place like this, you should get out of here before someone recognizes who you are. Mark shot at Kayla, looking at her in disgust. Kayla, let's be smart about this. OK, you've done time, don't embarrass yourself any further, Selena chipped in.
Embarrass myself? Kayla said, with tears already welling up in her eyes, I did nothing wrong, and you, you, you're my cousin, you f****d my boyfriend and then pinned his crimes on me and let me rot in prison, while you too lived it up, Kayla said with tears now streaming down her face. Tell me Selena, did you have a conscience or did you sell that too? Kayla turned now facing Selena, who now looked worried.
You b***h, Selena spat and faced mark, Mark. We cannot let her screw up this deal with Mr Anderson. Do something, Selena said to him, visibly shaking and looking worried. Mark moved closer to Aria's stroller and kicked it hard. That startled Aria, and she let out a very loud cry, wincing in pain as she had hit her head on one side of the stroller. Ariaaa, Kayla screamed, running to her in fear, Get that bastard out of here this minute. Mark retorted and grabbed Kayla by her collar, trying to drag her out. While he was trying to drag her out, Selena faced Mark and said to him,” Mark, this kid is giving me a headache, kick them out."
Touch one fuckin hair on her, and you'll regret it. Kayla fired, finally losing herself free from Mark's grip and looking really pissed. You could literally see the fire in her eyes while she spoke and protected Aria. Selena rushed over to her, pushing her down and stomping on her. Mark came too and they started stomping and kicking her. You're nothing but a trash, criminal, and you're not good to be seen near the Andersons, they said, still kicking and stomping on her…. Kayla winced and cried from the pain. Her body trembled in agony as the kicks landed on her, her vision blurring with tears of pain and despair.
Ahhh, Mark crouched holding his tummy, his head spinning like they had been hit by a truck. Don't you dare touch her, Jason said, rushing over and landing punches on Mark. You even breathe wrong around her, and you'd regret it. He continued and faced Kayla this time. Are you okay," he asked, touching her gently. Kayla nodded her head, signifying she was OK..
Huh, who are you??? Selena asked, looking
Directly at Jason in disgust……
