Chapter 1: True colours 1
Early in the morning the young lady of the Song family got up and went to the bathroom to take her bath. Mia her personal maid had already prepared the bathtub for her. Claudia walked into the bathroom, Mia said bowing her head saying "Miss Claudia what would you like to have for your breakfast, so that I can ask the chef to prepare it for you". Claudia replied smiling at Mia "I have told you severally not to bow your head while talking to me and to also call me by my name, tell me the chef to prepare scrambled egg and bread with hot coffee". Mia smiled slightly then she replied "Okay Claudia". Then she turned around and left. Claudia smiled and walked silently and then she changed into a pair of light blue house wear and went straight into the dinning hall.
At the dinning hall ----
Lucas, Claudia's Father together with her step mother, step sister and her boyfriend were all seated in the dinning room. Lucas asked Alex saying "when are we going to have the engagement banquet". Alex replied "Father, we are going to have the engagement banquet in two weeks time". Claudia walked in the dinning hall and said "Good morning Father". Lucas smiling at his daughter replied "Good morning my daughter, come and have your sit beside your boyfriend". Claudia walked to seat beside Alex. Claudia said smiling to Alex "Good morning Love". Alex replied giving her a cold glance "Good morning". Cora seeing the reaction of Alex wanted to provoke Claudia so has to discredit her in front of Alex "Claudia, you will soon be the young lady of the Hong family. You can't continue to act immature by dressing like a child you should learn from your sister". Claudia gave both Isabella and Cora a cold glance before she replied "what right do you have to correct me you are not my mother but my father's wife, so know your place". Cora lower her head in embarrassment but is also expecting the reaction of Alex but Isabella was faster saying "Mom was just concerned you don't have to be rude to her older sister". Claudia looked at Isabella with a cold glance "I wasn't talking to you so mind your f*****g business". Alex stared at Claudia with an icy voice saying "You don't have to talk to them like that they are still your family. Learn to control your temper". Claudia smiled softly then replied saying "Okay dear, i will learn to control my temper. Thanks for your concern". Alex said "Apologize to them". Claudia expression was blank. She replied out of shock "what!! why should i apologize. me". Alex snorted "Yes, You. Apologize to them they are your family if not don't call or talk to me". Claudia replied "what? Never,i will not apologize". Alex sneered "Fine, i will be taking my leave now, if you are ready to apologise to them then you can call me. I am off, Good bye father, mother, Isabella". He gave Claudia a cold glance then he turned around and left. Lucas Claudia's Father was silently looking at the drama his family displayed on the dinning table. Claudia still in her state of shock turned to father saying "i can't believe Alex right now. He is totally unbelievable". Lucas replied "it is his wish". Claudia, Isabella, Cora were the only ones left in the dinning room. Claudia glanced at the two of them angrily then she left the dinning room. Cora said to her daughter "That is what she deserves for been arrogant and bossy". Isabella replied with excitement in her voice saying "I can't wait to see her kneel before me to apologise". Cora looked her daughter then she smiled too "I can't wait too".
*************************************************
Claudia have been bothered about what happened in the dinning room earlier. She sat down in her room thinking on what to do instead of apologising to Cora and Isabella, because she was so bothered she asked her assistant to cut off all her appointment at the office. Mia noticed that she is not happy and she is lost in thought that she did not even notice the time he entered the room. Mia asked Claudia with a soft smile in her face saying "Miss Claudia, what is bothering you". Mia came forward to talk to her continued "Tell so that i can know how to help you". Claudia breath deeply then she replied "You can have your seat". Mia sat down at the edge of the bed, Claudia continued "I think i l have offended Alex and don't Know how to apologise to him". Mia replied "Miss Claudia I think you should buy a gift for him and you can use it to apologise to him". Claudia was slient for a while then she decided to follow Mia's advice. Claudia then replied Mia saying "Mia, Thank you". Mia smiled softly then she answered "Okay ma, drive safely". Claudia headed straight to the mall in City M.
At the Mall-------
Isabella was busy shopping at the mall buying some pretty expensive stuff. Claudia came to the same mall Isabella was buying stuffs. Claudia headed straight to the males section to pick s gift for Alex. Claudia was done in the mall but she saw Isabella heading to the restroom to pick a call. Claudia got curious what kind of call she wanted to pick and why she could not pick it in the mall. Claudia kept asking her self this questions. Isabella who was unaware that someone was following her entered the restroom then she picked the call saying "Hello honey, I miss you alot". Claudia was lost in thought thinking who Isabella was calling her honey and why she did not tell her dad because she knew that Isabella likes to brag alot. Claudia was lost in her thought that then she heard Isabella say "Okay i will come meet you at our usual. i love you too". After hearing this Claudia left the restroom and waited at the parking lot for Isabella. Isabella got into the car then she headed straight to cloud nine hotel at City M. Claudia followed her steadly to the hotel.
At the hotel-------

Claudia continued following her then she headed to the the VIP section of the hotel then she stood afar then she saw her entered room 20. Claudia went back to the receptionist but as she was making the booking she saw Alex entered the hotel and he was going straight to the VIP section. Her mind went blank has she was praying inward that it should not be what she was thinking. Claudia was following him steadly has suddenly she saw Alex did something. She couldn't feel her legs any longer as she fell down
