Okay Pandas, since you found Madeleine's eyes really creepy, so I had been surfing net for the same girl (I still don't know her name. I had put that picture up because I found that girl really cute) and finally, I have found the real picture. It's on the side!

Her actual eyes are really beautiful tho.





AMELIA'S POV

"What? No?! You're my only sister!" Madeleine whined.

"Yes, but they're our sisters....from another mom." I explained.

"Another mom?" She asked pursing her lips.

Oh god how Am I going to explain this to her?!

I peered at the driver quickly giving him the address and looked back at my damsel in really challenging distress.

"Madeleine you're a good girl, aren't you?"

She nodded in response.

"So I want you to behave when you see them. Both of them are lovely and they would love you just like me."

"Really?"

I nodded at her.

"What if they're like dad? I don't like him. They're his daughters."

"We're his daughters too and we're not like him." She seems to be convinced, "They'll be nice."

Mady looked up at me and held out her pinky finger.

"Pinky promise?" She murmured.

I chuckled lightly and held my pinky with her,

"Pinky promise."

I stared outside the window as the tall buildings passed by as a blur. All the memories flushed back into my mind. I cringed at the thought when my dad made me try on Asher Lachlan, the C.E.O of Lachlan's Enterprises and now my sister's husband. Just because dad wanted to get his company back which technically belonged to my sister, Regina who was working as a maid at Asher's house. But I always knew what was happening between Asher and her. I could see it in their eyes. But then I refused to hit on him anymore since he was not letting me in his house and dad was convinced by that excuse.

Soon my dad kidnapped Regina but he wasn't lucky enough 'cause Asher got him and now he is rotting in prison. And he deserves it. He has no right to claim a company which doesn't even belong to him. He was such a gold digger. It's a shame that he's my dad then again I'm not a pure soul myself too.

The screeching of tires brought me out of my thoughts. I looked out of the window at the huge mansion with those marvelous black bricks. I quickly took out the crumpled dollar bills from my purse and handed them to the driver. Exiting the car anxiously, I pulled Mady out with me and the taxi drifted away.

I inhaled deeply and took slow steps towards the gate. As I reached the gates, the guards in typical black attire with their black shades seemed to notice me. They were new here I think so. 'Cause the guards with which I used to flirt to get inside weren't here.

"Yes?" One of the bulky guards asked me with his arms at the back.

"I'm Regina's sister." I said as I looked down at Mady who was already staring at me.

The guard looked me up and down and then pressed some button on the device resting against his ear.

"It's some girl saying that she's Mrs. Lachlan's sister." He said giving me a stern look with his right hand pressed on the device. He nodded twice and then pressed the button again before bringing his hand down.

He shifted to a side and opened the door. I rolled my eyes at their grim personality and clutched Mady's hand before striding through the gates.

I sighed as I stood at the edge of long driveway. They must've some type of transport to get to the main doors.

I released a loud huff as I began walking to the main doors. The sweet smell of flowers surrounded me with every step I took. The great building was touching the heavens. The lush green gardens were full of all types of flower.

"This is so beautiful!" Mady chimed as she freed her hand from my grip and ran on the driveway.

"Hey slow down!" I shouted as I began running after her.

"Why are you so fast?!" I said breathlessly as I reached the huge brown doors.

There was no doorbell since Asher hated noise so I banged on the doors with the same ferocity, I used to back then.

On my third try, the door flung open revealing a lady in her mid forties. She had tied her blonde hair in to a tight bun and was wearing a white silk blouse with black pencil skirt.

"I'm-"

"Mrs. Lachlan's sister?" She said abruptly cutting my sentence off.

"Yes."

"Please come in." She scooted aside as I entered the house. It was not same anymore. The walls had maroon paint all over them with linings of whites. The wooden floor looked amazingly new beneath my dusty shoes as I took steps forward.

"Please wait for a moment. I'll call her down." She said as we reached the living room and gestured towards one of the couch.

I nodded as I sat down on one of the couch.

I looked at Madeleine who was still roaming around the living room like it was our backyard examining all the decoration pieces.

"Madeleine don't touch them." She flinched at my voice and turned back giving me those puppy eyes.

"Come and sit here." I gestured her to my side.

She scrunched up her face in annoyance and stomped towards the couch away from me.

"Made-" I was going to lecture her when I heard the clicking on stairs behind me. I stiffened in my seat.

"hey a-" I heard Regina stopped in her sentence.

I stood up and turned back to face her. Anastasia was beside her. She smiled at me. She was always like this. No matter how many fracas Regina and I had, but Ana never took anyone's side. Regina used to argue a lot with me about her and Ana being biological sisters and I was nothing to them but Ana never said a thing. That's the thing I like the most about her. She never judge. She knew what's in the past is past.

Regina's mouth opened but she closed it immediately as she descended the last step while Ana followed.

"Rebecca." she said as she stared at me.

"Regina...Ana." I smiled.

Regina took slow steps towards me. Her jet black hair hung freely along her waist reaching her thighs. She looked marvelously beautiful in her short sundress. I knew she was pregnant. I don't know if this brightness on her face was because of being pregnant or being free of all the worries.

"What are you doing here?" She asked as she stood right in front of me.

"I-I am....sorry." I said looking down at my hands.

"For what?" She deadpanned.

"Reg..." Ana passed her a what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you look, "Rebs are you alright? Its been so many years! Where were you?!"

"I'll tell you everything but you have to listen to me patiently."

She stared at me as if I had grown two heads.

"Regina...Ana this is the time when truth should be revealed. I can't keep you from the things you should know. That would make me a selfish person and nothing else."

I looked back at Madeleine who had forgotten about her being angry and was gawking at her two step sisters as if they had stolen her jar of cookies.

"Who's she?" Ana asked as she kept looking at Mady.

"Your sister. Madeleine."
