When it was time to sleep, Beauty laid her head on Dylan’s lap, asking any his father.
“He has two weeks to live” he started.
“I’m very sorry about that Dylan. I…”
“It’s okay” he interrupted her.
Beauty was feeling sad about the news already.
“My step mom didn’t care at all. He said he regretted getting married to her. He wished he never married her at first. He wanted me to have his company but my step mom is planning to sell it”
“That’s not right”
“I know right. I have just the perfect plan to get the papers from her” he said.
.
Beauty adjusted the shirt Dylan was wearing the next morning as he got ready to leave for his father’s mansion.
“Isn’t this shirt expensive?” She asked.
“I don’t have cheap clothes to wear. They won’t notice it” he replied.
“Fine, you don’t nee-d my good luck. You have it already” she said.
He leaned forward and kizzed her.
“I’ll nee-d that” he said. Her li-ps curved into a broad smile.
“You should get going already” she said. He nodded and left.
.
Tara was ready for school. She tucked in her shirt and adjusted her socks. She checked her phone and stared at the time.
“Where are you Dylan?” She murmured.
Suddenly, she heard her mother’s voice.
“He’s here” she murmured and carried her backpack. She ran downstairs and saw Dylan by the door. Jason was there with her.
She waited for some seconds, watching her mother’s move.
.
“Why are you here?” She yelled.
“Where did you get that shirt from? The trashcan?” Jason teased.
Dylan rolled his eyes away from Jason and went to his mother.
“Mother?” He called out.
“How much do you want to borrow now? You beggar!”
“I…”
“What do you want Dylan? You’ve wasted all my money and now, you’re back here” Tara walked in and folded her arms.
“That’s my girl” his mother said softly.
“Tara, I promise to pay you. Right now, I nee-d dad’s company papers”
“Even if I have it at the tip of my finger, I won’t give it to you. Just leave!” She yelled.
“Tara, you have to un-derstand me”
“Mom, make him leave already!” Tara yelled.
“Jason! Show your step brother to the door”
Jason stood up and walked towards Dylan.
“You bastard! You killed your mother and I’m sure about that”
“Nice work sis, for the first time I’m proud of you” Jason said and gave her sister a fist bump. He walked towards Dylan and pushed him out.
“Leave you murderer! Poor thing!” He pushed him out.
“Tara, listen to me. Please!” He yelled as Jason closed the door. Tara angrily threw her bag on the table.
“I so much hate him! Argh!’ she Gr0-ned.
“He will never find the papers. Fool!”
Tara watched as her mother left, into her room.
.
Tara followed her mother into the room. She saw her hiding something inside her wardrobe.
“What papers is he talking about?” She asked like she didn’t know.
“Never mind Tara. Just forget what he said and move on, okay?” She asked.
“Mom, I’m grown up already. You can tell me anything!” She said.
Her mother sighed de-eply.
“It’s the company paper. I’m going to sell the company in three days time. We nee-d money to live when your father die. You have to go to school”
“What about Jason? He could help. I mean, he’s a model, right?” She asked.
“Jason is as useless as Dylan. He can’t do anything for this family. You just focus on your education and make me proud”
“Yes mom. I love you” Tara said.
“I love you too” she said and hu-gged her. Tara fixed her gaze on her mother’s wardrobe.
“Gotcha!” She thought.
.
Dylan drove back home. He alight from the car and walked into the house.
“Master?” Leo called out. He stopped and stared at Leo.
“Where is she?” He asked.
.
.
Beauty was in the swimming pool, swinging her feet in the water. She felt something warm on her cheek and quickly turn her head.
“Baby, you’re back?” She asked.
“Yeah, I am” he replied as he sat beside her.
“I missed you. The house was boring without you” she said.
“Now, I’m back” he said. Her li-ps curved into a smile as she stared at him.
There was a knock on the door. They turned back and saw Sally.
“You have a call from Jack” she said.
Beauty collected the phone and placed it on her ear. She raised her head, staring at her husband. She knew what Jack wanted to say to her already.
“Hey Jack” she said.
“Beauty? Have you forgotten about my request?” She heard his question. She placed the call on a loudspeaker so Dylan could hear him speaking.
“What request Jack?” She asked.
Jack gave a little laugh.
“Beauty, I’m an easy going man. I want to know who your husband is! You have tonight…”
Dylan nodded at Beauty.
“Fine, I’ll text you a location where to meet” she said.
“Good girl” he replied and disconnected the call. She frowned and stared at the water.
“Are you doing the right thing?” She asked.
“Just flow with it. Let’s get ready” he said and helped her up. Sally collected her phone and watched as they left the swimming pool. She has always wanted to swim in it since she got here but she has to follow Beauty. She sulked and went out of the pool.
.
Dylan and Beauty got ready to leave already. They were going to meet Jack in a five star hotel.
“How do I look?” Beauty asked, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“Beautiful” he said and kizzed her forehead. She grabbed her phone and purse and head out of the room. They got into a limo and drove off. Sally and Leo drove behind them in a separate car.
“Why can’t we drive with them?” Sally asked.
“Why do you wanna go with them? They are couples, just as we are” Leo teased. Sally slapped his arm.
“We are not a couple,.how silly!” She said.
.
“What happened at home?” Beauty almost forgot to ask.
“Tara is a crazy actress. Once she’s eighteen, I’ll sign her up and build her career” he said.
“I love that. She’s gonna be a perfect model” Beauty added. That was when Dylan’s phone rang.
“Speaking of the actress herself, she’s calling” he said. Beauty smiled again. He answered the call and placed it on her ear.
“I’ve found the papers Dylan. I’m sorry for insulting you” she said. Dylan gave a mocking smile.
“It’s all an act Tara. Forget it” he replied.
“Thanks Dylan. I just have to figure out a way to get the papers to you. Mom’s gonna sell it in three days. She really don’t care about father” she said.
“If everything ends up bad for you guys, you’ll move in with me” Dylan said.
“What? I’ll move into your mansion?” She yelled softly, checking her door if no one was peeping.
“Uh uh. Get the papers for me. Call me when you do, okay?” He said.
“Yes Dylan” Tara said and disconnected the call.
.
Beauty leans her head on Dylan’s shoulder as they drove off.
.
Few minutes later, he was in front of the five star hotel. He already made a reservation for a secret entry and exit. The entrance was cleared, no security guard could be seen. Even the security camera was off. That was too show how powerful he was. He could even bring down the give star hotel with a call.
He didn’t only own modelling industry, he own a lot of other industries.
Beauty got down, she had her sungl@$$es on.
He held her hand and walked in with her. They got into the elevator and went to the VIP lounge 1.
As they were about to open the door, a call entered Dylan’s phone.
“You go in first, I have to take care of something” he said and walked away. Beauty went in with Sally and Leo.
Jack saw them and stood up.
“VIP room huh? How fancy. Hello to you!” Jack greeted Leo. He thought Leo was Beauty’s husband.
He didn’t even stare at Jack. He just stood quietly.
Beauty sat down, jack also sat down.
“That’s not him. He’ll be here any second” she said.
“Whatever. I just want to see him with my two eyes. I know he must be rich. I want to know what type of rich man will marry someone like you in this condition” he said.
Beauty lowered her gaze, blus-hing. She wished she could say some words to him but she couldn’t. Sally and Leo just remained silent, acting like they didn’t even exist.
“Does it matter?” Dylan walked in, asking the obvious question. Jack heard his voice and turned his head. He turned and saw Dylan.
“And you are?” Jack asked as he stood up.
“Hello Jack, I’m Dylan, King…” He said. He didn’t have to complete the words. He stretched his hands out for a handshake.

Jack moved back a little, a little frightened. He didn’t have to hear his remaining names before he know who he was. He turned and stared at Beauty.
“You… How is this possible?” He asked.
“Are you shocked to see me in person?” Dylan asked with a smile on his face.
“I’m very sorry Master!” He yelled and fell on his knees. Beauty shot her eyes wide open and sat down. Dylan sat on a couch and folded his legs.
“Mr Jack, well, here’s a warning for you before I leave. I have a very busy schedule” he said. Jack’s gaze was still facing the floor. He didn’t know what to do or say. He just wished he didn’t ask Beauty to show him her husband.
“If this gets to the public, you won’t only lose your job, you know what else you are going to lose. If you ever be a burden to my wife, you’ll also lose your life” he said.
“Yes Master!” He yelled and bowed. Ad he called Beauty his wife, it was still unbelievable. They stood up to leave but Beauty stopped when she remembered something.
“And also, tell your girls to stay away from me” she said.
“Yes miss Beauty” he bowed again.
“Good night. See you tomorrow” she said and left with Dylan. Sally and Leo also left. They wished they could laugh when they saw the look on Jack’s face. Immediately they got into the car, the security was back. People started moving round. They wondered why they had to remain where they were for some minutes. They thought it was a terrorist attack for some minutes. But they were glad that they were out already.
Sally and Leo got into the car and followed their boss behind. They didn’t speak to each other till they got to the mansion.
Sally felt that Leo was having a thing for her. She didn’t want to be with him just because of he was Dylan’s @$$istant. She felt it would be awkward if they started dating.
“Why are you silent?” Leo asked.
“Nothing, why?” She replied.
“I mean you’ve silent and you don’t want to talk to me at all. Did I do anything wrong?” He asked a little bit worried.
Sally didn’t know how she could tell him that she doesn’t want anything to do with him.
“You didn’t do anything trust me I just don’t want to talk to you” she said.
He sighed de-eply and nodded his head.
“Fine if you don’t want to talk to me but you have to just tell me what I did wrong so I could amend my ways I mean we are friends right?” He said, focusing on the road.
Sally scoffed and sli-pped her fingers into her long hair.
“Dylan, can you just please remain silent and don’t talk for a second because your voice is getting into my head and it’s making me really mad right now” she said.
“I’m sorry” he muttered. She felt mad herself for yelling at him. She didn’t mean to. She was just not herself.
“No I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I just don’t want to say anything to anyone right now” she said.
“It’s okay Sally. I un-derstand. You have mood swings when you are around me. You should actually go see a therapist” he suggested. She leaned back on the car and scoffed. Maybe she really had to. She was never like this but now, she was.
.
“Didn’t you see the look on his face? He was so surprised!” Beauty couldn’t stop laughing since she got into the limo. Dylan poured her a gl@$$ of champagne and handed it over to her.
“Stop laughing already, it’s been over five minutes” he said. She tried to stop laughing. So she adjusted her hair and sipped the drink.
“I can’t wait to tell granny what had just happened. I’m going over to her place after tomorrow’s meeting at the company” she said. Dylan nodded.
“Well, my regards to her. I’ll have to visit father and also see Tara. She’ll get the papers for me tonight” he said.
“Okay, good luck with that. I wish I could meet your father before two weeks”
“You will. I’ll have to make sure things are okay first and also tell him about my real status”
“You have my support baby” she smiled.
“I know Beauty. Right now, I’m thinking of how I’ll deal with my step mom and Jason. They are really stepping on my toes”
“Can you let me do that? I can handle Jason. I just nee-d your permission on something”
“Of course, you can. Permission granted. I forgot you were all he wanted before you turned ugly” he said.
“He won’t know what’s coming for him” she said, staring into the thin air. Beauty had always wanted to get rid of Jason but here was a chance. She’s going to teach him a lesson of his life and get rid of him and his f****** career once and for all. She thought as a smile crept on her face. Dylan saw the smile and cleared his throat.
“Would my darling wife want to share her little secret with me?” He asked.
She faced him and smiled.
“No, I won’t. It won’t be a surprise to you if you later see it on the net” she pouted her li-ps like a child.
“Okay baby, I’ll just wait to see what you have” he said.
.
After some minutes, they got to the mansion. Everyone went into their respective rooms and slept off. They had a very busy day today, including Dylan.
.
When it was night, Tara got out of bed. She was going to sneak into her mother’s room and steal the company’s paper. But she can’t just get in. She walked to her mother’s room and softly knocked the door.
“Mom?” She called out and pretended like she was asleep.
“Mom?!” She called out again. Her mom got out of bed and walked towards the door. She opened it and saw Tara standing outside the door.
“Tara? What happened?”
“I couldn’t sleep mom” she lied, ru-b-bing her eyes with the back of her palm.
“Come here baby. Come sleep with me” she said and pulled Tara into the room. She quickly locked the door. Tara knew how de-ep her mother sleep. She was going to take advantage of that.
She laid on the bed with her mother with her eyes fixed on her mother’s wardrobe.
“Sleep okay?” Her mother said. She nodded and pretended to be asleep.
“Yes mom” she replied and laid on the bed. She laid silently on the bed till she began to hear her mother’s snore.
“It’s time” she sprung up quickly not minding she make any noise. She walked to the wardrobe and opened it. She saw the papers first. She turned to see if her mom was waking up but no, she wasn’t. The first thing she was going to do tomorrow morning was to leave the house very early in the morning.
“I’m sorry mom but I don’t support bad things” she murmured and left the room as quick as possible.
