Pretty

"Please.. Or I might really go crazy seeing you with them. Please Carly-"

Carly's eyes budge.

Is he being serious right now??

"I can't do what you're asking me!" Carly finally said.

"I just said please-"

"We aren't even friends,enough for me to grant your request.. please leave!" She said boldly. Even if she's so scared he might do something bad to her.

"Carly!" He made an advance to touch her but she stepped back.

"Get out Reed...." She yelled avoiding his eyes.

Her voice was trembling, and he could hear the fear in her words. It was only now, as he stood there looking at her, that he realized how his actions might have hurt her.

Is he that dangerous??

"I'm sorry... for everything!" He said and turned,he walk out.

Carly exhaled and ran to the to lock the door, her fingers trembling as she did so. She could feel her heart beating in her chest, and she took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

"What just happened?" She asked no one in particular.

**COOPER MANSION**9PM*

"Where's mom?" Felix asked one of the maid he spotted as soon as he entered the house.

Felix's question was met with silence, and he realized that the maid must not have heard him.

With a sigh, he made his way up the stairs to his room. As he lay down on his bed, he couldn't stop thinking about Carly.

He remembered Reed's face expression back there, he had never seen him so angry.

"It's payback time Reed!" He smirked and grabbed his phone. A picture of a young girl popped up on the screen immediately.

It's actually his kid sister, Maria.

She died with thier Dad in a plane crash when she was only five.

"I miss you so much Maria!" He muttered rubbing his finger on her face.

A loud sound suddenly interrupted his thoughts and he spanged up and left the room.

He met the maids trying to stop Maureen from pacing around. She's obviously drunk again.

"Ma'am! Please calm down,and lemme take you to your room!" One of the maids said and grabbed Maureen's hand.

Maureen yanked her hands off and turned to Felix who out a tired sigh.

"Oh,my cute baby is back!" She pouted drunkenly and held Felix cheek.

The maids already left for their works, it's not her first time anyway.

"Why are you so cute? Don't ever stop being cute okay? That way you won't grow old and leave me too,huh?" She giggled and hit his cheeks playfully.

"Mom, please stop this!" Felix said slowly.

Maureen released him,and sat on the couch, burying her face like a kid.

"Are you also ashamed of me? Son-" She sniffed and Felix walk up to her. He squatted in front of her.

"Stop all this, it's really bad for you health.. You forget about Dad and move on.. it's not the end..."

"No! I cant! I'll never do such a thing!" Maureen snapped. Felix stood up.

"You have no shame mom!" Felix hissed and went back to her room.

"Shame is not in my dictionary,if you're so ashamed of me then stop being my son.. I don't even need you. I just wanna enjoy life.." Maureen gushed throwing her legs up in the air.

**NEXT MORNING**KNIGHT MANSION**

Reed squeezed up his face immediately he woke up from sleep, his hair scattered on his head and some fell on his face, his full brows together with it gave him even a cuter look.

He perceived the smell of food in the air, so he opened his eyes and sat up quickly.

He left his room and made his way to the kitchen,getting there,he met only a maid cooking.

The maid stylishly pulled her skirt above her kneel when she saw him.

"Master.. Reed!" She bowed lightly and Reed nodded not sparing her a glance.

"How did I got here last night?" He asked her.

"You were outside the house, sir. You were very drunk and you couldn't stand on your own. I was worried you'd get hurt, so I helped you inside and put you to bed. I hope that was okay?"The maid explained.

Reed frowned, without adding more word,he left the kitchen. The maid nodded, her cheeks turning pink.

He got back to his room,and fell on the bed feeling a slight headache from the drunkenness.

His phone beeped and he pulled it out of his pocket to check the notification. It was a text from Alex, and he had a feeling he knew what it was about.

**DON'T FORGET THE MAYBELLINE'S SHOOT TODAY, DUDE. WE CAN'T AFFORD FOR YOU TO MESS THIS UP**

Reed groaned and threw his phone away frustratedly.

ACOSTA'S MANSION**

Kylan and Amanda sat at the dining room table, eating their breakfast in companionable silence.

But as Kylan's phone pinged repeatedly, Amanda couldn't help but notice the grin on his face.

"Someone seems to be in a good mood" she commented, raising an eyebrow at her son.

Kylan looked up from his phone, his cheeks flushed.

"Oh, it's nothing" he said, quickly putting the phone face-down on the table "Just a friend"

Amanda's eyes narrowed. She didn't believe him for a second. "I didn't ask!" She smiled and Kylan looked at her.

"I've noticed your constant being on the phone lately! The Kylan I use to know is all about books,I wanna know this lucky girl who make you stop doing what you love" Amanda grinned.

"Mom!"

"She must be pretty!" Amanda winked and Kylan smiled.

"I've got to head to the office.. Reed and his friends has a photoshoot today!" Amanda said, pushing her plate away.

Kylan said nothing,he continue eating.

"You guys are still not in good terms?" Amanda shakes her head.

Funny enough,both Kylan and Reed's family are closed and also business partner. Amanda is actually Reed and his friends manager. The parents are the only ones that get along really well. Thier kids are practically enemies.

Kylan was never interested in modelling, he would have join the agency too.

"I was wondering if you might want to come along since no classes today, it would be nice to have some company. Who knows, you both might start-"

"Mom!" Kylan cautioned.

Kylan knew that his mom's real reason for asking him to come was because she has always want his friendship with Reed.

"Fine!" She resumed walking away but Kylan suddenly spoke.

"I'll just tag along since I'll be bored at home. It'll be nice to get out of the house" he said, shrugging slightly.

A smile appeared on Amanda's lips.

"Great! You should get ready cos the shoot will soon start!" She added.

"Can I bring a friend?" Kylan suddenly asked and Amanda nodded, wondering why he's smiling so much.

She just stared at him and smile.
