“oh my god… how freakin rich is Helena?!”  Alice said.

“She’s pretty damn rich…” Shane quipped in.

“The Peabody family is number seven on Forbes richest family in the world…” Ed added in.

The four of them got out of the car and proceeds to get into the Helena’s mansion. Shane chucked her car keys on the way up the stairs. Ed and Lily are already gone from Shane’s sight. Shane catches up to Alice and went to the bouncer in front of the entrance door. She mentions her name and was soon let into the huge space of the living that has turned into a gathering place for the guest.

Shane and Alice were soon met with Dana, Jenny and Tina, who were on their table chatting away. The two of them took their seats as the event was about to start. Of course Alice started to chat away at her friend.

Shane looked around the place to see any sign of Lily and Ed; she thought it would be time for her to introduce her daughter and dear friend to the group. She finally saw Lily and Ed at a few tables behind them. She looked carefully at the guy that Ed was talking to. She couldn’t really put the puzzle together as she could only see the side of the guy’s face. Almost in a slow motion Shane saw Ed pointing to her and as the guy turns to see where Ed was pointing to, Shane knew exactly who he was. “… Michael Forester…” The guy grin his smug smile at Shane and raise his champagne glass at her. “… fuckin’ bastard…”. Shane could only nod at him and eyed Ed and Lily to come over to their table.

“Hey guys… I would like you guys to meet two very special people…” Shane said to the group, she looked at her back to see Lily and Ed was only couple of steps behind.

“This is my daughter… Lily… and this is my good friend and my PA… Ed” Shane said.

“Awwe… so you’re Lily?… hey darling, nice to meet you…” Tina said.

“Wait… uhm… how did you know I had a daughter…”
