Third Person POV

Blinking her sleepy eyes, she sat up on her bed, her back on the headrest when she sighed softly before getting off the bed to do her morning routine. Her hands shuffled across the various almirahs in her closet when her eyes landed on a maroon jumpsuit. Taking it out, she paired it with a white t-shirt and took out white sneakers for the day. If she would have to go somewhere, she would wear them, and save some time in finding a pair of shoes.

What if she had to go to the washroom?

Damn, she thought, it would take time with this. But she was at home, she can spend as much time as she want in the washroom. No biggie.

Picking her phone up, she checked the time, 10:47 a.m. Her eyes widened seeing the time, she woke up late, and then she remembered she slept late. Going downstairs, she entered the kitchen, on finding it empty she entered the living room, her eyes landed on her grandparents in one corner, sitting beside each other and Jake, Carlos and Carson on the other side, doing something on a laptop.

"Morning Kia," Jake said when she entered and sat on the couch beside theirs

"Good Morning."

"Morning, hun." Her grandma said, "Come, I'll serve you breakfast."

Kia shook her head, "I don't feel like eating anything." Alex made me eat food enough for a week last night.

"Come, let's have juice." Jake stood up and passed the laptop to Carson before taking Kia's hand in his and they left the living room

Entering the kitchen again, she sat on a stool as Jake took out orange juice, poured it into two glasses, and sat in front of her, passing one glass to her.

"Thank you." Jake just shrugged, "So, will you tell me anything?" He asked

"About what?"

"Yesterday night."

"About Asher?" She asked, "Or Alex?"

"Alex."

Her eyebrows furrowed, "How do you know Alex was with me last night?"

"Everyone knows Kia." He said, "he left the dining room and went straight upstairs, turned towards your bedroom, and if that wasn't obvious.." he leaned in closer to her, "I saw you both leaving the mansion at night."

"How?" She asked, "I mean, when? No one was downstairs when we left."

"I was on the terrace." Jake responded, "I saw you then."

Her eyebrows furrowed, "what were you doing on the terrace all alone at such an hour? It was around ten thirty when we left."

"I never said I was alone. Stefan was with me."

"Oh, okay." She nodded

"I'm surprised Alex let you stay up late at night, and even more surprised that he took you out without informing anyone, and that too he took you out at 10:30," Jake exclaimed

"10:30 is late?" She asked

"It isn't. But your bedtime would be 10 on school days, and Alex does not let anyone stay up, even a minute after bedtime." Jake said, "Trust me, I know. There was this once when Alex and Stefan were going in their rooms around 1:30 and I was watching Netflix."
