Lady Sarah was humming a song as she walked around looking at the decorations, she wanted everything to be perfect for the arrival of his son. She had really missed Kai and the thought of him coming home was just a great news and every great news should have a great party ball.
"Ivy, what do you think you are doing?" Lady Sarah asked looking at Ivy's state.
She looked five years older than her actual age dues to how addictive she is to drugs, it wasn't long ago that she almost died from an overdose yet she was sitting in the sofa taking in heroin, she looked tired and her eyes had dark circles around it.
She had dyed her hair black giving her a shitty bad girl look.
"Oh come on mom, what do you think I'm doing" she said looking not interested in the conversation.
Lady Sarah snatched it from her, "you are really disappointing the family and destroying the good name your father fought so hard to build, I mean this thing almost killed you, can't you just try and be without it for a while, for Christ sake act like an adult for once, your brother is coming today, at least behave" Lady Sarah said in a harsh tone.
"Damn you, you know what, Scarlett was right, you are just a control freck that's why she left,and since you're so happy about your son returning, focus on that and leave me alone" Ivy said while taking a new drug out of her pocket, Lady Sarah not being able to tolerate the attitude anymore slapped Ivy and said "never, ever mention that ungrateful child's name here again, now drop that and help me with the preparation if not I'm blocking your credit cards and maybe you would appreciate me more" Sarah walked away not wanting anymore of Ivy's madness.
"Mom! Mom! Who's Robin Williams, she's on the guest list" Ivy said, it has been half an hour, she decided to help in order not to get her credit cards block, but she realized she knew all the guest except that Robin Williams.
"You would have known if you had just stopped drugs and focused more on the company affairs.
Robin Williams is the heiress of Rudolph Williams, he owns Apex solutions, one of the best solution solving companies but for the past two months after Rudolph went into a coma and she was placed in charge of the company and since then the company's stocks are raising and they are climbing the business bill board really fast world wide. If care is not taken they can overtake our company, that's why Nexus innovations and Proxima partners have decided to make alliance with the company which is why she must be here tonight" Sarah looked at Ivy and continued "there's a saying that if you can't beat them, join them, but I did some digging on Robin Williams and before she became the good daughter helping safe daddy's company, she was just a trouble some brat in Las Vegas wasting money and a whole lot, you would be surprised" Lady Sarah said with a bit of thrill, she had initially thought Robin would have a clean clear past but that sure wasn't the case and she wasn't even hiding it which was a bit of shock to her.
"Mom tell me more I want to know, please" Ivy said, Lady Sarah looked at her daughter, if only she wasn't an additive, she came close to Ivy and brushed her fingers through her hair and said "no" she left right after that leaving Ivy standing alone being curious, she wondered if Scarlett also felt the same way about how mom was, it's funny how they have been able to keep Scarlett a secret till now, she wondered if Kai also knew about Scarlett and that sad tragedy.
Meanwhile.....
"You were right, they looked it up, but do you think they will cheapen their self to threaten you with your past?" Audrey asked, Robin was in a loose track suit down with a tight top, her red hair was tied in a ponytail and she was sweating a bit as she had just returned from her morning run. "Well I'm sure Audrey but you could have texted me on the phone about this instead of driving all the way from the city to this place" Robin said a bit concerned, she wondered when Audrey had to woke up to get here this early considering the distance it takes.
Audrey Andrews is a close friend of Robin since university, they had been inseparable but after Uni, Robin left for Las Vegas and it's been years till one day Robin called that she was back in Chicago and since then Audrey has been helping her run the company, Audrey has dark long silky hair with hazel eyes which look magical when the sun rays falls on it. "If you knew this would happen why didn't you let me wipe it out, I could have cleared everything for you" Audrey said with confidence as she is one of the best hackers in the whole of Chicago, "you wouldn't understand, Las Vegas wasn't just about me wasting money and gambling, it was something more, something you wouldn't want to get involved in, something I wouldn't want you to get involved in" Robin said looking distant again and her eyes showing signs of fear Audrey hadn't seen before, ignoring it.
She said "you got an invite to the ball the Arthur's are planning for their son's return, Kai. You ought to go and to make sure you don't say no, I have hired Anita, she's one of the best designer in Paris and she's going to design you a custom made dress, before you say anything, I already pay, anyways go and have a shower you stink so bad" both laughed, Robin ended up deciding to go if only Audrey also went along with her since Janet was overseas with her husband who's in a coma.
The ball was scheduled for 8:00pm and Robin decided she needed to prepare to meet her old friend who betrayed her.
