Chrystal got to the car and frowned. She turned around to see Camila approaching as well.
“You drive a wagon?” Chrystal asked frowning at the vehicle.
“What’s wrong with that? it’s a family wagon.” Camila smiled.
“But you don’t have a family so why buy this piece of Sh|t? I can’t be seen driving in this.” Chrystal folded her hands across her chest.
“Chrystal behave and get in the car.”
“There’s no d@mn way I’m getting in this garbage you call a car!” Chrystal yelled.
“Well pardon me if I don’t ride in flashy Lamborghini like your father but I won’t have you insult my vehicle.” Camila said trying to be as calm as possible.
“If you didn’t want to get insulted then you would have stayed in the dumpster you came out from.” Chrystal rolled her eyes.
“That is no way to talk to your mother Young lady!” Camila yelled.
“Finally some action here.” Chrystal smirked.
“Now tell me, are you even my mother?”
“Chrystal I don’t have time for this. Get in the car let’s go home.” Camila said opening the drivers door.
“Hello! are you blind or what? This is my home! And you’re taking me away from it.”
“I don’t wanna argue anymore. Get in.” Camila ordered.
“I am not going anywhere with you witch.” Chrystal said one at a time.
“Chrystal! You’re father is definitely not teaching you manners.” Camila frowned slamming the opened door shut.
“My father is doing a great job and you wanna ruin it. I never said I’m lacking motherly love or care. Brianna is doing a great job in your place!” Chrystal yelled.
“If you yell at me one more time…”
“What are you gonna do? Hit me? Then I’ll call the cops on you and they can send me back to dad.” Chrystal smiled.
“I’m not going to hit you and I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to get on my had side but it isn’t working. Get in now!” Camila said entering the car.
“We’ll see about that.” Chrystal muttered, opening the back door.
“What are you doing?” Camila asked turning around.
“Getting in like you said, duh.” Chrystal rolled her eyes.
“I’m your mother not your driver, get in the passenger seat now.” Camila said with a domineering tone.
“I don’t f*cking care what you are.” Chrystal said entering the back seat.
Camila sighed, trying her best not to get angry even though she already is. What was she expecting anyways from a spoilt teenager.
She silently drove out of the compound as she knew saying anything else would just result to another argument.
Brian walked out of the house the moment they left, smiling hard. He overhead all their arguments and is glad that Chrystal is already doing her own part into his plan B.

MODALE SPECIAL HEALTH CARE
Swayer smiled sadly as she watched her dad from a distance, lying on his sick bed. The surgery was a successful one and now it’s left for him to wake up.
“Swayer, don’t you wanna come inside?” Rose asked as she’s been watching Swayer stand by the door for two minutes now without moving.
“Is he gonna be alright now?” She asked instead.
“He will he sweetheart. He’s a strong man.” Rose smiled, spreading her arms at Swayer.
Swayer walked into the room slowly and hugged her mother.
“I will call the girls and let them know Mr D’vile is safe now.” Fiona said leaving the room. She made a video call and connected it to all four of them.
“Fiona! I’ve f*cking missed that pretty face of yours!” Anna screamed.
“You look like you haven’t slept in days.” Maeve said frowning a bit.
“I haven’t actually. I had to stay awake for Swayer.” She smiled slightly.
“Hey no fair! You replied to Maeve but not to me?” Anna said making a puppy face.
“I’m sorry Anna I’ve missed you a lot as well.” Fiona said.
“Oh come on Anna give her a break. She’s already exhausted.” Ivory smiled.
“Thank you Ivory. So Mr D’vile is out of surgery, thankfully.” Fiona smiled .
“Finally! My Sway Sway can smile again.” Ivory said heaving a long sigh of relief.
“When will she be coming back? I miss her presence already!” Anna dragged her words.
“Actually we would be staying at Rose’s house for a couple of days maybe a week. It’s the closest to the hospital and I think Swayer would want to keep a closer eye on her father.” Fiona said sadly.
“That is really d@mn long! I can’t remember the last time we didn’t see for two days and you’re saying a week!” Maeve widened her eyes.
“I just wanted to inform y’all. Keep us posted on any new activities at Salvatore okay?” Fiona said and they all nodded.
“I love you both so much.” Ivory said blowing kisses at her screen.
“And I love Swayer so d@mn much! Tell her I said that! The rest of you can move aside.” Anna winked and Ivory smacked her head with a pillow.
“Ouch! that hurts!” She pouted.
“Why don’t you just marry her then.” Maeve rolled her eyes.
“Maybe I will.” Anna stuck out her tongue at Maeve.
“I love you all including you Anna.” Fiona said waving.
“Byeee” They all said at the same time before Fiona disconnected.
“You girls really are close.” Logan said smiling at her.
Fiona turned around to see him holding two cups of.. coffee or milkshake? She wasn’t sure.
“Is that for me?” She asked looking at the cup on his left hand since he hasn’t sipped from it yet.
“Oh no it’s mine. I like to get an extra just incase one isn’t enough.” He smiled and she frowned slightly.
“I’m just kidding. Here.” Logan said handing her the cup.
She smelt it first and smiled widely before having a sip.
“Oh yes, hmm.” She smiled pleasantly, closing her eyes to savor the wonderful taste of hot cocoa with extra cream.
“You’re welcome.” Logan smiled sipping from his cup.
“I don’t mean to invade on anyone’s personal space but can I ask why Swayer dislikes you?” Fiona asked after a minute of silence.
Logan paused for a while, dropping his cup on the floor as he sat on the chair. He tapped his side indicating Fiona to take a seat too and she did.
“I umm, I use to be a bad person.” He said slowly.
“In what way?” Fiona furrowed her brows.
“I was selling illegal drugs and that got me into a lot of sh”t with the cops.” He sighed.
“Did you get arrested?” Fiona asked dropping her cup on the floor as well.
“Twice. Though the second was not intentional. Swayer was just seven years old then. I promised her I had stopped doing drugs and we went to the park to have some alone time together.
Swayer wanted to ride the roller coaster but I didn’t want to tell her I had no money to pay. Dad and mom had cut me off their allowance because they were angry with me for trying to shame the family name.” Logan paused, facing Fiona to see her reaction. She was looking at him with keen interest so he continued.
“I told her to wait in line while I go pay for it. I used that Opportunity to sell some drugs to people to get the money to pay for the rollercoaster. I never knew the cops were tailing me and the last man I sold the stuff to is actually a cop.
When I wanted to go pay for the ride, they handcuffed me, taking me away.
Swayer waited in the line till it was her turn but since she had no slip, she was sent away. I dont know how long she searched for me but when she heard I’ve been arrested for doing drugs, she was really pissed that I had abandoned her in the park alone for the same thing I promised her never to do again.” Logan said, picking up his cup to sip again.
“I…I don’t know what to say.” Fiona finally spoke up. She’s trying to analyze what happened to see if it’s just a misunderstanding or actually his fault. If he didn’t do drug’s in the first place, then his parents wouldn’t have cut him off their allowance and he would have payed for Swayers ride without getting arrested.
So no matter how one looks at it, he’s kinda at fault.
“I know I f*cked up but I’m clean now and when mom called me here, I was more than glad to come not because I’m happy about dads condition but because I’m happy that I would finally get to see Swayer again. She’s all grown up.” Logan smiled sadly.
“Yh, Swayer is really a sweetheart. I know she’ll forgive you sooner or later.” Fiona said standing up from the chair.
“And thank you for the cocoa.” She smiled before walking back into the room.
