My Property

As the car pulled up into the large driveway outside the manor, Soleil couldn't help but turn into her five-year-old self. The girl who happily ran around that garden with her parents trailing behind her.

She hadn't stepped foot anywhere near that manor for the last five years but standing there now made all sorts of emotions rush back to her. Her nostalgic moment however was ruined by the ugly sight of Dianne and Logan standing outside the front door.

Although they came without notice, Soleil could tell they had been expecting her arrival. The sly smirk on their faces only proved her point more.

"The bad juju here is already affecting me big time." Vivian shuddered as she shut the car door behind her.

"I couldn't agree more with you."

Soleil steeled herself and wiped off any trace of emotions on her face as the two approached the mother-and-son duo.

"If it isn't the famous slut." Logan sneered.

"Darling, don't blame the poor girl, it's her mother's fault for not raising her right." Dianne chimed in, as she sized up Dianne.

Soleil could take any form of insult from the whole world but the one thing she couldn't stand was anyone talking bad about her mother. "You're one to talk Dianne, did you raise your son right when he beat a kid up and got sent into juvie at just thirteen? Did you raise him right when he impregnated someone's child at sixteen and forced her to abort the child?" She smirked, seeing the color drain from their faces.

They weren't expecting her to know any of the things she had just mentioned but Soleil was so good at not being noticed that she ended up picking up things people wouldn't want anyone knowing. The walls have ears after all.

"This bitch still has a mouth to talk even after her cheating photos were leaked to the public." Dianne didn't even bother to hide her disgust under the thick layer of makeup she wore.

"Of course, I have a mouth to talk, why wouldn't I when it's evident you spiked my drink and planned the whole fiasco? I did nothing wrong and nothing worth being ashamed of." Soleil cocked a brow at the two and proudly crossed her arms above her chest.

She could tell they weren't expecting her to uncover their dirty acts almost immediately but the surprise on their faces was replaced almost instantly by a challenging look. "What proof do you have to back up your baseless claims?" Logan tried acting under control but Vivian could hear a trace of fear in his voice.

With a cunning smile on her face, Vivian found her chance to speak. "You do realize everything is traceable with the internet these days right? We have all the proof we need to clear Soleil's name and put you both in jail." It was a bluff but she was relishing the look on their faces.

"She's bluffing mom, they don't have any proof. I made sure to be extra careful not to leave any traces." Logan told his mom.

Both Vivian and Soleil smiled inwardly thinking of the fact that brainless Logan had just admitted to the crime without realizing it. He served them their dinner on a diamond platter.

Wanting to get more from him, Soleil decided to take things a step further, "How did it feel when you gave me that spiked drink? When you sent me to that room knowing fully well what would happen? Or when you sent the images to the press to paint a bad picture of me?"

With a challenging look on his face, Logan stepped closer to Soleil and looked down at her menacingly. "Here's one for you, How did it feel knowing you were dumb enough to take the drink from me? Or better yet, How does it feel knowing you were raped by a-"

Soleil planted a hot slap on his face before he could dream of finishing his sentence. She saw red and it took all self-control in her not to tear up right in their presence. "I dare you to say that again." She matched his gaze and refused to back down.

"Whatever proof you have will be useless because the whole world is currently against you Soleil Simmons, you will always be seen as a cheating slut in their eyes and there's nothing you can do to turn the tides." Dianne broke the tension between the two before one of them made a move to kill the other, although she knew her son would be the one getting killed.

"The truth will always prevail, no matter what Dianne. This is a warning to you both, so better be prepared for your downfall." Soleil gave her final warning and she received emotional backing from Vivian who was rubbing her hand reassuringly.

"To hell with all this, you can't prove anything so take your crappy speech and get your ass off my property."

Although she didn't want it to, hearing Logan call her family home, the place she grew up in his property hurt her more than it should have. It was like he was ripping off a piece of her and claiming ownership over it.

Just as she was about to clap back at him and correct his deliberate mistake, her phone pinged, and so did the rest.

They all brought out their phones and it was clear that they received the same message. EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING AT THE COMPANY.

Vivian and Soleil shared a worried look and immediately rushed back to the car without sparing the two devils another glance. Underneath their calm facade, they both knew the emergency meeting had something to do with the news about her.
