Old Money Madness

4. Tango with Twins

Seven in the mother fucking morning.

That's how earlier my dear siblings showed up to piss me off. I didn't get it a chance to properly wake up or down a black coffee. Unbelievable. Nonetheless, they will have to wait, because as owner of the domain, I'll make them sweat it out under the southern sun.

"Miss, your brother's have threatened to set my rose garden on fire. Can you please stop them?" Daisy had a worried look in her eyes and paced back and forth in front of the windows.

"I'm coming Daisy. Stay strong. These asses aren't the worst of it." I glided down the stair railing.

I swung the door open to meet the eyes of my brothers. All seemingly quit pissed at me. They huffed inside and looked around.

"You all look like your periods are synchronized and today is one of the worst for your cycle."I rolled my eyes.

"Riv, why did Nic call us here?" Theodore yawned while texting on his phone.

"Because all the fat she's gained it's caused her brain to swell and now she's fallen off her very small rocker." Tinsley spoke loudly while stomping around the entryway.

"Brothers." Theodore and Ollie turned towards me. "There is something very important I should tell you. As you know since the murder of our parents all of their possessions were in need of ownership. You all were called for weeks, when none of you answered they looked to me. So I own this house, the titles of the land, all cars, assets, and I now own twenty five percent of your companies." I waited for the yelling to start, but it never it.

"Okay. I'm glad you now have a better place to stay now Riv, I hated that little apartment anyway." Theodore shrugged. While taking a glass of lemonade Daisy offered.

"We were in Italy for three months, the phone bill would have been ass if we had them on. I have no problems Riv. If anything, after all you've been through with our parents, you have have the house and everything. We mostly came because Nic said you were having a breakdown and we're going crazy. Also the wake is today." Ollie added in.

"Nic was a pain in our ass growing up and couldn't wait to snatch Mom's company away from you. If she's pissed that you live here, it only makes me happy that the bitch might get a headache from it all." Theodore laughed.

Ollie's phone started to ring. He picked it up and a huge smile grew on his face. "Hey Riv this is a very important phone call that we've been waiting on, can we use the kitchen?"

"Of course."

All the boys went into the kitchen but Ollie stopped and swallowed me in a bear hug.

"I missed you Riv. I'm sorry it took our parents dying for me to come back and hug you." He smiled.

"Thanks Ollie ."

Theodore stuck his head out from the kitchen and shot me a smile. "Riv, do you mine if the we stay here tonight?"

"Your rooms are all still here I don't see why not."

"Thanks Riv."

Now it was just my sisters and I. They all looked beyond annoyed. They stay silent through everything like the snakes they are, but now that we're alone, I'm sure they will show their true colors.

"Interesting how you ended up in the power seat, big sister." Tinsley sneered.

My sister's circled around me. My ratty jeans and worn t-shirt did not give off the power position type for sure, but I was never one to 'dress for success'. People in suits were always so stuck up and miserable.

"Tell me River, how are you in charge of our family home when you washed your hands of this family?" Nic inquired.

"Because I bothered to answer my phone. When Sheriff Clyde called me, I was more than happy to take on the role."

"Nic told us about a certain Maddox Quinn sniffing around the estate, wondering what happen to mom and dad. What does he know so far?" Tinsley pestered.

"First off, your a guest in my home and I don't appreciate a bunch of bitches circling me. Second, this isn't some old black and white mafia movie, no one says sniffing. Third, it's an ongoing investigation, so bitches aren't allowed to know."

"River, Nic and I were all counting on assuming the home. You at least have to dule out the family worth to us." Tinsley added.

"Why do you all want a cut of the money? I was thought to believe that Nic had married a French man and were planning their life together as owners of mom's line."

"He spilt, leaving Nic preggo, broke, and without the company." Tinsley pursed her lips.

"And you blood sucking bitch?" I smiled.

"Always had a rotten mouth. Goes along with the rough color of your coat." Nic added.

"Really, you are too stuck up your own ass to just call me the black sheep of the family. I guess I'll let you in on the fun news, all accounts are frozen. The only thing Clyde pulled for me was to stay in this house during my time back. All other money doesn't exist as of this moment."

"You love the thought of your baby sister suffering." Tinsley whimpered while clutching her black designer purse that was pathetically to small to hole anything of value other than lip balm.

"Uh, yeah. You all have no idea what it's like to be poor and trust me all you prissy princesses are still far from it. Now get out. My brothers seemed to have sided with me as they all still have jobs and promising futures. To me it sounds like all of you are going to have to start whoring it out soon. Little tip, leave the good thongs at home."

"You are really kicking us all out?"

"Which part of the 'fuck you soon to be whores' did you not get? I'll dumb it down for the not Harvard students-"

"We went to Brown!" Yelled Nic.

"You know dad always hoped you'd really make it to the top school. Anyway, you're not welcome in my home. See you at mom and dad's wake, that is, unless your names happen to slip from the list."

"You. Wouldn't. Dare." They spoke together.

"I'm now king of the castle, my ass is sitting on top this hill in power. Your asses will be falling down the driveway soon if you don't get a move on."

"How could you be so heartless to your own blood?"

"Because of the love you gave me, or the lack thereof is a much better way of saying it."

My sisters left. Out the door without another word. I already know they aren't allowed to the wake, I just love to let them think they have a chance of going. No until the spot saved for me in hell freezes over.
