"To...to..morrow...?" Leah stammered, her palm feeling sweaty and her ears itching from what she just heard.
"Do we have a deal?" Carla repeated this time with a stern look.
"Ye...yes...we do" Leah replied unsure of what she just said. But then her sister was the only reason she agreed.
"Good girl. My lawyer would come in any moment from now to bail you, we'd see at the alter tomorrow " Carla winked, grabbing her hand bag and left the place. Her perfume remained in the air. An officer guided Leah back to her cell.

B.VANS MOBILE
Sinclair slammed his fist onto the desk, his face twisted in frustration as he stared at the file in front of him. His secretary, Molly, stood frozen at his front, holding a notepad.
“Molly, what is this?” His voice came harshly.
“How the hell am I supposed to work with these ridiculous proposals? Did you even read them? Are you trying to sabotage me?” He asked, with an inched brow.
Molly flinched, her heart racing as she tried to speak, but Sinclair cut her off.
“Your days are numbered in this company, I can see you are gradually becoming incompetent and useless! Just get out of my sight!” He threw the file at her.
"And another thing, find me a woman right now I don’t care who, just get it done!" He ordered, his eyes burning with fury.
Molly nodded and left his office. As she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it for a moment. She couldn’t help but think of what he looked like down there. She slightly bit her lower lips as she rubbed her thighs together.
" Just one night" She fantasied as she slowly walked away.

STARS MALL
Lysander’s sleek black Benz glided to a stop in the garage of the upscale mall. The door opened, revealing her in a tailored, elegant jumpsuit that turned heads as she gracefully stepped out. She adjusted her sunglasses, as she made her way toward the entrance.
She brought out her phone to take some selfies but suddenly collided with someone, the impact causing both of them to stumble.
“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Lysander exclaimed, quickly steadying herself.
Looking up, her eyes widened in the recognition of the person. It was Sarah, her highschool classmate.
“Sarah?” Lysander’s voice softened, her face breaking into a wide smile.
“Lysander! Oh my goodness, it’s been like forever girl!” Sarah’s eyes sparkled with surprise, and without hesitation, they embraced warmly.
"I can't believe this is you, like the hell, did you disappear?" Lysander asked, disengaging from the hug.
"You can say again, well i haven't been in New York for two years now. I just returned a month ago" Sarah replied with a nervous laugh.
"No wonder " Lysander smiled shoving her hair behind her ear.
"I’ve got to run, but we'd have a girly conversation soon. Here, take my number" She said bringing out a card and gave it to Lysander. Before Lysander could say another word, Sarah rushed off, jumping into a waiting cab.
Lysander smiled at the card before putting it inside her hand bag. Just then, two security men approached her, their eyes scanning her face intently.
“Excuse me, ma’am“
"Yes?" Lysander answered.
"Did you happen to see a woman who's petite with blonde hair on a white outfit leaving now?” The description matched Sarah.
“No, I didn’t see anyone”
The men nodded and left, and Lysander continued her walk into the mall, wondering why they were after Sarah.

LEAH'S RESIDENCE
Susan was spreading some clothes on the line when a flashy car pulled up in front, the engine of the car purring to a halt.
A man came out on a uniform, Susan gasped realizing he's from the Van's family. He approached her holding an envelope with Carla's seal. He handed it to her without a word.
“What's this?” She asked, her brow furrowing as she scanned the envelope.
“A letter from Mrs Carla Van" The man replied.
"Why, what happened?"She asked anxiously.
"You should read the letter to understand better "He said, returned to the car and zoomed off.
Susan went inside and slowly opened the envelope revealing the letter. She cautiously read it and at the end the letter fell from her hand.
"How's this even possible? Leah you've sacrificed alot already"She muttered tearfully as she used her hands to cup her cheeks..

SARAH'S RESIDENCE
Sarah stepped out of the cab, handing the driver a few bills before proceeding to unlocking her gate. She gave a quick look over her shoulder, ensuring no one was following her.
She unlocked the door and stepped inside, closing it behind her with a soft click. Her heart raced, but she smirked, excitement bubbling in her chest. She swiftly checked through the peephole, making sure no one was around, and locked the door.
She fell into the couch excitedly and pulled a small black box from her bag.
"My baby" She kissed the box before opening it. Inside was a diamond encrusted smartwatch she had stolen at the mall earlier. She pulled it out and gazed at it, her lips curling into a satisfied grin.
“I'm f*****g rich, damn!" She ran her fingers over the smooth face of the watch, the diamonds sparkling like the stars. She stuck her hand inside her bag and brought out a golden bracelet.
"Lysander is such a rich girl, this bracelet cost almost $15,000. She even drives a Benz and i don't have any, how pathetic. I'm gonna be close to her then" She grinned putting on the bracelet, admiring it.
She quickly picked her phone and dialled a number.
"I've got some million dollar deals for you, meet me at the field at our usual time" She grinned mischievously.
