Chase's POVConnor and I walk into the room where they have made Belinda and Little Bella comfortable. Connor walks to his little sister lying in a crib beside Belinda's bed. He peeks in and looks up at Belinda and me. The expression on his face says everything. He is not impressed with how his sister looks at this moment. We all know that babies do not look as beautiful when they are born as when they get a week or two older. Well, most babies, some babies are born pretty. "We should have called the Beast instead of Bella," Connor mumbles to himself. At that moment, Bella starts crying."I was just kidding. You are beautiful. You are Bella. Don't cry. You will look ugly when people come and look at you. Mommy, Daddy, help! She cannot cry. It would make her face puffy, and she would look worse. You must remember that many people in the waiting room are ready to see her. Can't we hide her face of something until she becomes more beautiful? I will tell everybody that the doctor said no
Chase's POVI soon realized the mistake that I had made. After eating ice cream and chocolate, Connor is hyperactive. He's jumping on the couch, running around the house like a racing horse, and I must watch him constantly. I never understood why his mother said I could not give him too much sweets. Now I know why. How was I supposed to know he would be hyperactive after eating a lot of sweets? I am tired of being with Belinda the whole night, and I go to sit down on the couch while Connor runs past me and will not sit still for a second. I love my boy but do not know what to do with him when he gets this active. Hopefully, it goes over fast. Hopefully, we'll take a nap. I'm tired as I put my hands in my hair. I must have napped for a few seconds because I was drenched in water the next moment. Connor stands laughing in front of me with a bucket in his hand."I called you, Daddy, and you did not hear me. I was making sure that you were still alive. The only way I could do it was to th
Chase's POVThe days have gone by fast. Today, I'm going to pick up my daughter and my wife from the hospital. I have learned my lesson and will never give Connor so much sweets again. When I reached my parents' house, they looked like they were just in World War Two. The poor servants looked tired. The gardener was still busy filling the hole that Connor dicked. Their house was in chaos. Connor was fast asleep. None of us wanted to wake him up, so we let him sleep until the following day. I just came from visiting Belinda and Bella. Connor's room was full of mud, but we were afraid to wake the little menace. We closed the door to the room and let him sleep. The following morning, Connor got up in an awful mood, like someone who had a hangover. I had to tell Belinda everything that night when Connor and I saw her and Bella. Belinda laughed at me and told me never to give him too much sweets again. I had to admit to her that we had to clean his room the following day and put him in a
Belinda's POVI knew my mother-in-law would not leave it. I knew she would plan a surprise party for us to come home. So I am prepared. Little Bella and I are dressed in pink, and Connor looks glad to see us. He comes running to us. However, he is cautious around his little sister. It is like he is half afraid of her getting hurt. He just hugged my legs and let his father pick him up so he could kiss his little sister hello. He's cautious when he kisses her. She looks so tiny. And I know that he is afraid that he will hurt her. Connor will never hurt anybody. He may have hit a child at school, but that child was looking for trouble with him. He will only do it in self-defense. He has been trained from a very young time to defend himself. I was always worried that somebody wanted to pick on him or kidnap him. And that is why I let him take jujitsu classes from a young age. I wanted him to be able to defend himself in case somebody tried to grab him. Little Bella will do the same. I kno
Belinda's POVI cannot believe how fast the years have gone by. It is the last year of Conner's school. He still has his old friends from when they started going to school together. He and Eva are in a relationship. Norma is still the snob she used to be. She always looks down on Eva. However, she is furious when Eva gets a scholarship and she does not. Norma is always trying to make trouble between Connor and Eva. I let my children sort out their things. Bella is more of a bookworm and likes to study constantly. We did not have any other children, although I wanted more children. Chase and I decided that two children were enough. They were keeping us very busy when they were younger. Connor and Chase are very protective of Bella. Bella is still young. She is only thirteen. She's not interested in boys at this stage of her life and would rather spend time on the Internet playing games. And study, of course. She has already decided to become a lawyer like her mother and grandmother.On
Connor's POVThe party and graduation went well yesterday. However, my eyes opened to Eva last night. Eva was never catty. She was always a brilliant young lady who was quiet and clever but became a little snobbish since she got the scholarship. I couldn't believe it was the same girl I grew up with. Last night she was bitchy to some of our old friends. She acted like she was already a doctor. I will have to talk to her about it because I wouldn't say I like her new behavior. I do not know if I like this new Eva. However, I'm not going to think about it today. I want to go and see my new apartment. My parents have both for me and have given me an allowance to buy all the furniture I want. I can't wait to show it to Jimmy and Eva. I'm sure they will be happy for me. I also could have gotten a scholarship, but I refused it because my parents have enough money to pay for my studies, and I feel that the children who do not have enough money should get the scholarships.My parents went and
Norma's POVI know everybody sees me as a bully. Everybody thinks I am jealous of Eva. Nobody knows about the sadness I carry around in me. Nobody knows about the pressure my parents put on me. I don't care about me. Nobody does. I've always lived with servants while my parents went up partying. My mother only had time for me when I had to practice for the one-after-the-other beauty contest. They were so mad at me when I did not get a scholarship. I just couldn't fit in everything that I had to do. My mom was angry at me because I was not the head cheerleader. They bought me a car when I was sixteen. It was a pink Porsche. I didn't want it. I didn't want to be noticed all the time. The more I got noticed, the more I had to act the role of being happy. I was even my daddy's little princess. I was never my mom's best friend. They were shouting and screaming at each other the whole day. And if they couldn't take it out on each other, they would take it out on me. I could never make real
Eva's POV I don't get to do wealthy children whose parents care about them all the time. Why would Connor rub his new apartment in the faces of Jimmy and me? I thought it was different, but he always bragged about everything he gets. He thinks he shares it with his friends, but I don't believe so. I think that he is just showing off like the rest of the rich children. And I can no longer see him. He's just like the rest of them. He will fit better with somebody like Norma. She will be thrilled to see his new apartment and wear her beautiful dresses when they go out. I do not believe in love. I have seen how my parents acted not only to each other but also to their new partners. There is no such thing as love. I want to become a doctor. I want to become an independent woman to buy the stuff Connor and his wealthy friends get for free. I know a lot of people think that I am jealous, but I'm not jealous. I do not care what the wealthy people have in this town. All I know is I wanted some
