"Hey" Mallory said as she stepped into Noelle's room where she was packing.

"Hi" Noelle responded as she continued folding her clothes. "How did it go with Nick?" Mallory asked. "Good. He won't say anything about the abortion"

"He can yell it out if he wants, I didn't have an abortion. It was Bellami who did I just accompanied her" Mallory shrugged. "Why is it that Nick thought it was you?"

"I let Bellami use my information, my father was suspicious and if he'd send a private investigator to see if Bellami was going to check ups or the abortion he would've dropped hell on her. So she used my information and I promised to never say anything but today she said I could say the truth, doesn't mean I'm going to tell my family" Mallory nodded.

Noelle looked to the side of Mallory then back at Mallory. Mallory turned and saw her grandfather and grandmother at the door of Noelle's room.

"Already packing?" Eleanor asked Noelle. She nodded and Eleanor walked towards her and helped her fold some clothes.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Mallory asked her grandfather Amancio.

"No, I actually just came by to tell her that she'll have to accompany me to the office tomorrow morning to sign some papers" Amancio said to Noelle.

"We leave tomorrow morning" Mallory frowned. "Well it's a good thing you only do private jet, means you can leave in the afternoon" Amancio said and left down the hall.

"Why did you marry a very demanding man?" Mallory asked her grandmother. "You never know what you're getting yourself into until you're in it" Eleanor shrugged with a smile.

"Your grandfather is a good person, give him the benefit of the doubt" Eleanor said to Noelle before standing up and leaving the room.

"I should probably go pack as well" Mallory said but before she could leave Bellami stepped into the room.

"Manners Bella, manners. We knock in this household" Mallory said as she stepped out leaving Bellami and Noelle alone.

"This is cute, where did you get it? Your local forever twenty one?" Bellami grabbed a blouse from Noelle's bed then tossed it back. "Anyways I don't really care, I came to ask you kindly to resign from the company" Bellami smiled.

"Didn't sound very kindly, it sounded more hypocritical" Noelle responded. 

"But you understood my point. Tell grandfather you don't want it" Bellami sat on Noelle's bed. "Even if I do choose to resign, he made it very clear that you would never get it"

"I don't think you understand I'm his favorite granddaughter, he'll change his mind. I mean besides you really shouldn't rearrange your plans just because grandpa wants to see what your capable of" Bellami shrugged.

Noelle was about to speak but Bellami interrupted her as she walked towards Noelle's window, "it's not an easy job, it's not one of your school clubs where there's always a leader chosen. This is real life and I don't think your father is capable of handling it and especially not you with your daddy issues. You are aware as to why your father doesn't want you in the company either right?" Bellami raised her brow.

"No, do tell" Noelle smiled.

"My father let him keep half of the company all this time, half of which grandfather has given to you now. You know grandpa is really breaking tradition. He's giving it to someone who isn't even a Kline. Can you imagine if the media found out? I mean hell they already look at you with weirded faces because of your fathers one night stay in jail" Bellami looked at Noelle.
