Gabrielle.

"How did things go with Sandler?" My mom asks and I give a tight smile in response, hoping she would just get the message that I didn't want to talk about it but as should be expected, she wanted details.

"You need to learn to trust me Gabrielle." She hisses and I frown.

"Come on mom, if I don't trust you, who am I gonna trust? Besides I'm sure you can already guess what went down between that old bastard and I. I asked him to screw Ella over, he agreed but of course, sex is his payment," I give a quick explanation and she sighs.

"I really don't get your obsession with screwing Ella over. I thought you'd want her where she is so you can show her you're the better twin," she answers back, earning a bitter chuckle from me.

"Mom, let's face it, if Ella and I stood in the same position here in this industry, it would take me years to achieve what Ella would achieve in months.

I lazily scroll through my phone and lucky for me, Martin wasn't too busy to keep me entertained with goofy pictures of himself, showing off his killer smile and his cheekbones that I'm definitely jealous of.

The cafe wasn't too busy in the evening which meant less work for me and same pay and fortunately my shift was ending in less than an hour. Someone walks in and I drop my phone very quickly, almost smashing it to attend to the supposed customer only to realize it wasn't just any customer, it was Gabrielle dressed in a formal dress with a small smile on her face.

"I was dri

"I can't believe it mom. How the fuck did I miss this!" I yell angrily, more at myself than at my mom who looked a little terrified at my outburst.

"Do you think they're actually going out?" She asks and I scrunch my face in disgust.

"God forbid mother!" I forbid sharply, feeling completely disgusted with the idea of Ella and that Liam guy dating. That's definitely a bad combo.

I would not have given a crap about them dating if I didn't just find out whose son he was and knowing that fact, I can't allow such a disastrous relationship to blossom.

Liam Helton was literally gold in the fashion industry and of all the women he had to cross paths with, it had to be my dumb sister? Is God finally showing his true colors?

"How can you be so sure? Something could be cooking up between them," my mom voices out worriedly.

"If they were an item mom, I would be the first to know thr
