SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CINDY'S APARTMENT>

Immediately 8am strike on dot, the sound of a ringing alarm took over the whole house without stopping and the standing fan worsened the situation as it blew her duvet away from her body

Suddenly Bolt her dog bounced on her, licking all over her face...

" Come On Bolt, I need to sleep, just give me five minutes" She said with her eyes closed

But Bolt didn't listen he kept on licking her face, when he saw she didn't stand up he started barking loudly

She squeezed her face instantly and groaned out loud showing her unhappy expression and she stood up immediately, took the alarm, switched it off

" Bolt why are you always doing this to me" She caresses his face rubbing her hand around his face gently

She played with him for a while then she went to take a bath

She entered the bathroom and came back shortly, wet with a clean white towel around her, and her hair dripping of bath water

Immediately she got close to her mirror she grinned out loud, laughing out her lungs.. if people saw her they will think she was a mentally unstable person

She stopped laughing and smiled at herself looking into the mirror

" I should get ready" She beamed and walked straight to her closet

It took minutes for her to dress up, then she went back to the mirror, took her hair dryer, it took about two minutes, then she used her hair stretcher to straighten her hair

She packed her hair into a single ponytail which she loves a lot

She sat down on a bed to wear her sneakers but bolt came to her, because he already know she was about to leave him

He nuzzled her nose but she sensed what he was asking for

" No Bolt, we can't go for a walk this morning when I get back then we can play together" She told him

Then he removes his face from her nose and sat beside her rolling his tail

" Don't worry I won't break my promise" She said which he understood and went to dragged her bag

" Good boy, I love you so much, but don't disturb mom when she feeds you and be a good dog when I leave" She said

Bolt tilts his head to indicate that he is listening, She rubbed his face with love and left her room

She got to the living room, dropping her bag and left for the kitchen but she saw a notes beside her lunch box, then she read out

" I left for the parlor earlier because I had so many order I need to see to, Bolt already ate this morning and take care dear" She read out

" Awwn, Thanks mom I love you too" She took her lunch box which also have her morning food inside

She went back to the her room, came back down with bolt because she can't leave him alone at home, took her bag and left

She always leaves him with a trainer who is their next neighbor, she knocked at his door, but it took a while before he opened up

" Ohh Cindy I'm sorry for taking your time I was busy with something" The trainer said

" It's fine, I know you have many dogs to take care of, And here is another friend of yours" She said holding bolt with his belt

" Of course he is my favorite" The trainer smiled and took bolt

" I will see you later bolt" She said

" And you look more pretty today" The trainer said

" I will take that as my first compliment" She beamed and left

The trainer smiled and took bolt inside

*THE EDWARD'S MANSION*{ MAXWELL ROOM }

His room was the biggest room in the mansion, it looks like an apartment, it has a big lounge inside, a gym with all the equipment, a studying room which looks like a office, a large closet of clothes, a big bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub, and many more

He sat down on this bed replying some business dms when his cute sister rushed in wearing her college uniform

" When will you learn to knock" He said

" I will when you decide to close your door" She replied with a smile

" You know I don't like closing my door, this is my private space so I can do whatever I like" He said

" Then I can do whatever I like to because this is my brothers room and I can decide to pack all my stuff and come here so we can be together" She replied

" No way, you know I love my personal space, you can stay with dad at the other side and l will be here alone" He said

" Hmmm I know you will say that, I just came to see if you are done but it seems you are still busy so I will ask my buddy to take me to college" She replied

She called her lady driver, her buddy because she treats everyone equally

" Ohhh, I will take you tomorrow dear, I forgot but you can't blame me I have a lots of works pending, so I am very busy this days" He said

" It's fine don't worry I will join the company soon so I can give you a helping hands" She replied

" I know right, you will be late for college, get going" He said when he saw the clock

" See you later" She bid farewell by pecking him on his cheeks

She rushed out immediately before he could say anything because she knows he hates it when she pecks him

" She can never change" He said and continued with his work

🎀🎀🎀🎀

One hour later, when he was done with some pending work, he stretched his body showing some muscle because he was wearing a white singlet

" I should have my bath" He said and walked to his washroom

It took some time before he came out because he did his skincare routine inside his washroom

He opened his closets, he took out a black tuxedo suit with a tie and a black leather monk-strap shoe and wore it

He sprayed his expensive body spray, perfume and cologne all over his body and went to his mirror, he styled his hair as always, took his black leather bag and phone and left his room

He doesn't have his meals at home since his mother demise

He entered the elevator went to the first floor because he stays alone in the second floor

When he got to the first floor he saw his father, eating at the dinning table

All the maids bowed their heads down to greet him, but he never responds to them

" Good Morning Son" Mr Edwards greeted

" Good Morning to you papa, how are you doing today" He asked and he always calls his dad ( PAPA )

" As you can see I'm healthy" Mr Edwards replied with a cute smile

" I need to leave, I have so many pending works to do, I have to visit the restaurant today they have some issues there, I got a text from the manager" He said

" Mr Smith told me about it too, Go and make me proud as always" Mr Edwards replied

" Thanks Papa" He said and left immediately

" That's my son, I know you are happy to see the growth of your son, Sandra" Mr Edwards said and continued with his food

Mr Edwards stays at the mansion all days because of his health issues at old age, the family doctor comes time to time to check up on him

He has been lonely since when his wife died, he vowed never to get married because he can only have love for one woman

His children, which is Maxwell and Poppy has been his only hope to stay alive for many years, but he want to get his son back because he doesn't love how he changed from being a kind hearted man to an arrogant man

He always prays to get his old son back before he dies and he hope he meets someone like his mother who can change him as soon as possible

*STEVEN MANSION* { HIS BEDROOM }

He woke up, yawning out loud, when he opened his eyes, he saw the lady he came home with last night

He rolled his eyes in annoyance, and lashed out on her immediately

" How dare you wrap your stinking body with my clean towel, Are you insane? Who do you think you are? What effrontery do you have? Who are you? You this lowlife woman, you are a scum and a bitch who sleeps with rich man like me just for cash, you left you poor husband to come sleep with me and you are behaving like you own me you must be mad you this mentality unstable married woman, Never in your foolish life try this with me again, No you can even try it with me because this is the last time you will ever come her bitch, Get lost bitch" He screamed

He opened his drawer took a dozen of cash threw it at her

She immediately took her clothes and left out naked with tears on her eyes

" Useless Witch" He said and wore a glove took the towel and throw it into the waste bin, he opened his closet, and left with a new pair of towel

She quickly wore her clothes outside his room and rushed out of his mansion still crying

When he was done taking his bath, he came out, wore a casual office wear and a brown leather shoe, a black shades and left his room

He went to his kitchen, opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of his Vitamin C supplement and went out

He got out and his driver rushed with immediate effect, opened the back door from him and drove off
