Eric's pov:
I walked into the company, workers standing up to greet from behind their desk. Walking into my office I see richard reading a magazine on the sofa, hanging my suit behind my chair, i opened my laptop to check for messages, looking through the files submitted during my absence.
Richard looked at me before dropping the files to speak "the containers you asked me to intercept has been locked away at the warehouse"
"Good. It's time for the Walsh family to hear from me" I tell him as I signed on some documents "do you want me to drop them an anonymous tip that it's been seized?" he asked me and i nodded "I want to see who he turns to before making any move. desperate people look for desperate help so I'm sure he'll partner with one of my enemies". If they all think they can get rid of me, they better think again.. gathering elite people to threaten my position as the top billionaire, I scoffed, I'm at the top for a reason.
I hear a knock while engrossed in my work, Brandon walks in and i look up "sir the reservations have been booked" "okay" I nodded returning my focus to the files "anything else?"
"sir we've traced the source of the news article"
"And?"
"Kylie is behind it sir, she sent the picture to a man instructing him to post it with the headlines. He told us everything"
"Kylie Kylie kylie" I mutter chuckling but there was something in my eyes, something dangerous.
"sir what should we do with him?" Brandon ask. I held a pen while tapping on my desk "get rid of him, he knows better than to cross me" he nods and leave.. opening my phone, i glanced through it seeing a message from the family group, notifying every one of a meeting at 7pm.
"richard keep an eye on Mr walsh and see if he makes any moves once he's received the tip" he nods as i stand to leave "I have something to take care of" I threw the words at him and leave.. It's time to take care of Kylie.

its 2pm and at the far end of brownsvile, janette was still asleep when a knock startles her. She wakes up and goes to answer the door seeing
Emily holding a bag she guessed was food.
Emily walks In, dropping the bag In the kitchen, she comes back out checking janette's body for any sign of bruises "I don't see bruises" she mutters turning her friend around, janette groans "I know you said soon but why this soon?" janette ask her whining
Emily c*****g a brow at her "I don't care Jane, i rushed here as soon as i got off work.. you told me you were hospitalized, what happened?".
janette's pov:
I recounter all that's happened to Emily, I watch her expression shift from anger to shock then disbelief
"you mean she didn't care what happened to you?" she asked me almost screaming "Yes, I tried explaining but she cut of me and fired me" I mutter angrily, I'm still mad thinking about it.
"I'm jobless Emily, all my part time jobs fired me" I looked down dejectedly, tears hung loose on my eyes. I feel like crying again, Emily hugs me soothing my back "it's okay Jane, it's just a job. you'll get new ones, I'm just glad nothing happened to you" her voice sounding like she'd break down soon.. I'm the one that's hurt yet she wants to cry.
Emily is my childhood friend, we met in kindergarten when she fought off bulies for me. After chasing them off she turned to me "hi I'm Emily"
"I'm Janette"
"i like you, let's be best friends from now on" I remember her telling me, True to her words she made sure we did, Emily would bring me snacks, assist me in doing homeworks, beats any one who'd even scrowl at me. She often came for play dates with me at the wellson's family, we've been close ever since. While I have elite friends, Emily wasn't from the richest family but her family was well off, they loved me.
The day I got kicked out from the wellson's family, all my socialite friends turned on me, some blocked me while the rest wanted nothing to do with me.. Emily never gave up on me nor our friendship, she'd bring me food, gist with me and sometimes I'd accompany her home for dinner with her family. Her parents didn't care what status I have, they still loved.
"don't cry, in any case you still love me right?"
"of course dummy, you don't have to ask. nothing can make me unlove you" she replied laughing through her tears, I wiped her eyes and hugged her "now who needs the hug huh?" I laughed and she shrugged me off.
"what did you bring with you" I asked wanting to change the subject
"your favourite darling.. omelet, lasagna and beef stew " I smiled, going into the kitchen to serve the food. I have no dining area so we sat on the only existing sofa facing each other as we eat. "let's go shopping later okay?"
"okay" i replied, something to take my mind off thinking.
Eric's pov:
"the suite" I instructed.
My eyes closed, I hear the car parking "sir we're here",i nodded stepping down and into the suite. The sounds of shower running filled the room, i walk to the wine counter at the side of the room, pouring my self a glass as I sit. spinned the glass of wine a little, I take a sip.. From the corner of my eyes i see Kylie walk towards me "you said you had nothing to with the headlines?" I looked at her while taking another sip.
"i didn't, why don't you believe me?" she said crossing her hands under her chest
"still lying, you know I hate liars Kylie" I mutter standing up
"you crossed the line by posting pictures of us". hands in my pocket I stared at her "I'm sorry eric, It won't happen again"
"No it won't" walking off, I stopped and said "leave my suite kylie we're done.. don't bother contacting me, you have nothing to offer me other than your body and i no longer want it" i left.
Outside, i stop in front of the car "make sure she leaves, kick her out if she refuses to and change everything in it" I got into the car, Brandon taking the driver sit, he hands me a tablet "drive" I said taking the tablet. I watch the video playing from the tablet, a man walked into a high end restaurant sitting opposite someone who's face was barely visible.. Just like I thought, Mr Walsh fell into the trap. "very predictible" I tsked
"find out who he spoke with" I ordered, time to have some fun.
(writer's pov:)
Eric left the suite, one of his many properties.
Kylie screamed, tears pouring from her eyes as she breaks the wines on the counter, destroying half the place.. breathing heavily, she laughs hysterically "you think you can dump eric, you are mine or one else's" she mutters to herself, forgetting that she and eric were never dating.
janette and Emily goes shopping an hour after eating, walking side by side from shops to shops, hands filled with bags as janette grumbles
"Emily let's go back, my hands can't carry any more bags"
"don't do that jane" Emily sighs
"one more stop okay?, just one more then we go home" she begs jane, giving her the puppy eyes knowing jane can't resist them
"uhhh not the puppy eyes emily and that's what you've been saying since the last three stops" janette groans looking away as Emily continues begging her.
"fine. one more stop and we're done, anything more I'm leaving you" she finally caved in.
