Kylie Jenner As Aceline Jovoski. Picture above.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why did you drag me out of there like that?" Ella asked when they got to Ansela's car in the company's parking lot.

"Bringing him food was a bad idea." Ansela replied as she unlocked the car and got in.

"Why would you say that?" Ella placed the basket in the back seat before joining Ansela in the front.

Ansela started the car and pulled out of the parking lot after fixing her seat belt. "Didn't you see that he agreed to go to dinner with another girl? Did that not bother you at all?"

"No,should it?" Ella lied.

Ansela threw her a disbelieving look before turning her gaze back to the road. "We are going shopping."

"What about the food?"

"Give it to a stray or something."

Ella scowled at her; the girl was behaving too bratty nowadays. Why didn't anyone think to even tame her for a bit?

Her heart constricted when she remembered that William agreed to go on a date with another woman. And not just any woman,but the woman to the sister that almost killed her just yesterday.

She stared out of the window blindly without really seeing anything. Didn't he already warn her that he was not going to have anything to do with her? If so,why did he try to kiss her this morning?

Was it that he wanted to see how she would react?

Ella mentally face palmed her self. Of course,he only wanted to test his theory to see if she truly feel attracted to him,and she, a fool that she is, almost kissed him if not for the fact that Ansela came in when she did.

Something like this must not happen again. William was off limits as far as she was concerned. He is also in love with Cassie,which was all the more reason why she must stay faraway from him.

Yes. That's the only best option she has.

~*~*~*~*~

By the time they got home that evening with seven gigantic shopping bags,Ella was exhausted beyond reason. No one should follow Ansela out for shopping if they wanted to stay sane. Ansela made sure that they toured the Princessa Shopping Mall,the only shopping mall in uptown.

The place was really large. It was like dividing half town into two and using one side of it for the mall,except that uptown was a really big place,so the mall looked adequate, considering the population of the uptown people.

Ella recalled trying on different dresses in each clothing store they entered. And at the end of each dressing, they only bought six dresses each from the store. But the store owners didn't even complain,in fact they were happy that a Mckade decided to grace them with her presence today.

Ella smiled when she remembered how the owners fawned all over them as if they were royalties. They even went as far as getting them iced drinks and snacks.

By the time they arrived home,the sun had disappeared from the sky. Ansela,with her help,moved the heavy shopping bags to her,Ella's room. Even though she declined the items,Ansela threatened to tell William that she said that Mandalena looked like a cyclops if she refused to take them.

By the time Ella came down to cook dinner,Ansela was nowhere to be seen and Ace was already in the kitchen making sipping coffee from a blue China cup.

"Hey." Ace beamed at her.

"Hey." Ella replied. She moved to pour herself a coffee; she cringed when she tasted the offending and watery coffee. "Why does this taste like regurgitated bat vomit?"

"It's coffee and I made it." Ace took another sip.

Ella dumped the content of her cup into the sink. "Did I hear you say coffee? I thought it was house Insulant."

Ace frowned at her coffee cup as if seeing it for the first time. "Really?"

Ella rolled her eyes as she began to prepare another coffee. "Yes. Just give me five minute. I will show you what a coffee master can do with coffee."

Ace dropped her mug in the sink before going back to sit down on her stool.

"While you make coffee,what can we talk about?"

"I am not much of a talker," Ella shrugged. "But anything would be fine."

"Why don't we start by telling each other about ourselves?"

"Okay. You go first."

"My name is Aceline Jovovich. I am twenty five years old. My parents are from France,at least that was what I was told by my aunt. I don't speak French, since I was born here in Philly. My parents, they were rich, I remember eating ice-cream with my mother when I was about three years old." Ace eyes shined with happiness. "But when I was eight,they went bankrupt because my daddy invested all he had and even as far as borrowing money from the bank,and what did he get in the end? Zero. He died of shock and my mommy hanged herself from the news of my father's death, leaving me alone in this world. That's my story."

Ella turned off the coffee maker and reached for two cups from the cup rack. "That's so sad. Do you know the name of the company?"

"No. "Ace waved her hand in dismissal. "Enough about me,let's talk about you."

Ella shrugged. "There's nothing much to know about me and my life is boring. You would get bored in a matter of seconds."

"Try me."

"Okay. My name is Rafaella Milestone. I don't know my parents nor do I know where I was born. But what I know is that I was found outside an orphanage home in downtown. And I also know that I will be twenty eight this year. See? End of story."

Ace frowned. "What about boyfriend's? Fuck buddies? Lovers? Friends?"

Ella placed the coffee cups in front of Ace. "No boyfriend,fuck buddies and lovers. But friends,I have two friends. Ansela and Cassie."

"I have a boyfriend named Travis Greene. Huh, I had a fuck Buddy when I was in sixth grade. And I have five friends. You would love them when you meet them."

"Thank you, but I don't do social." Ella smiled. "Enough talk about us,let's have coffee. I made two types of coffee,this," she pointed to the green cup. "Is Ristretto and that," she gestured to the white cup. "Is Piccolo Latte. Have a taste of the two and tell me what you think about it."

Ace tasted the Ristretto first and hummed in appreciation. She tasted the Piccolo Latte and also hummed in delight.

"This Taste's like heaven." Ace picked the piccolo Latte. "I love this piccwhatever than that Ristro."

Ella grinned as she reached for the Piccolo latte. "It is Piccolo Latte and not piccwhatever. The other one is Ristretto and not Ristro."

"Where did you learn to make coffee?" Ace sipped her coffee and moaned in approval. "I admit that this is far better than my house insulant coffee."

Ella laughed. "Sorry about that, but.."
The rest of her words trailed off,when she saw William leaning against the door frame,with both of his hands crossed over his chest,staring at her with... Was that pity she saw? She was not sure.

And as usual,her stupid insides melted at the sight of him,that Is until she remembered that he went out on a dinner date with someone else. Her insides turned as cold as Elsa's snow castle.

"Good evening Mr Mckade." Ouch. That came out harsher than she intended.

Ace threw her a questioning look as she got on her feet,with her cup hugged to her chest. "Good evening Will,how was your day?"

It was Ella's turn to throw a look at Ace. Did she just call William by his name?,

So I was right all along. She thought. There's something going on between them after all. That Ace girl is sneaky, i hope Ansella does not find out that the Gardner is having an affair with their boss.

"Miss Milestone?"

Ella looked up to see that William was seating down where Ace was seating earlier. Her eyes scanned the kitchen and she noticed that Ace was nowhere to be found. Ella swallowed.

That snake! Wait till I get my hands on her.

"I asked for coffee,miss Milestone." He told her in a dry tone.

"Of course sir." Ella moved to the coffee maker. "What type of coffee do you want sir?"

"Short Macchiato please."

Ella set to work and within five minutes his coffee was ready. She handed it over to him and waited while he tasted it.

"It tastes okay." He sipped from the cup two more times then got up from his stool; he walked over to the sink and dumped the content of the cup into the sink.

Ella felt anger rising in her. How dare he say that her coffee was okay? Did he realise that to coffee making was not that easy. Or perhaps she should have Ace make him her famous house insulant and then he would know what okay means.

"Did you hear what I just said Miss Milestone?"

Ella counted to ten in her head before smiling at him. "No sir."

"I said there's no need to cook thus night. Order pizza and do you know where my sister is?"

Am I her keeper? She wanted to say but didn't. "In her room I suppose."

"Okay. "He nodded but didn't make a move to go.

"Do you need anything sir?"

Ella saw him debate with himself before finally nodding.

"Yes. About what--" he never got to finish that sentence because a ruckus came from the parlour cutting off whatever he wanted to say.

"What the hell is that noise?" He walked out of the kitchen.

Ella followed him and was shocked when she saw the reason for the ruckus.

Cassie stood in the center of the room,looking so tired,with her children, Ana and Bell jumping up and down on the white chairs screaming at the top of their lungs. Kaden choose that moment to enter dragging at least, four boxes,with the help of William's driver and Ansela.

Ella watch Cassie's eyes widen when she saw them standing in the doorway.

"Ana, Bell look it's your Aunt Ella." Cassie said.

The two children jumped off the chair and ran straight towards her. As Ella braced herself for the impact of their little bodies,she met Cassie's gaze and what she saw in them told her what she needed to know.

Ansela invited them here.
