Double Life Of The Billionaire Lady

Chapter 4

A week has passed and Diara's countenance continues to become colder and colder. She doesn't transfer her aggression out on anyone. She has a very good habit of channeling her anger into work.
After the ice cream parlor incidence, she began working overtime and late. She'd take on more work than she originally would. She spent less and less time with her sister. It began to affect her work life balance. The week rolled by and soon the day of Mia's party arrived.

"Hey sis" Sarah said.

"Hi baby. Come here." Siara said to her sister as she stood by the door and signaled her to come sit on the bed with her.
"What's the problem."

"Nothing. I was just wondering if I could go to a friend's place for a party."

" Hell nah."

" Oh please c'mon. I'll be dead with boredom by the time you return."

"Return?" Siara asked with surprise

"Sweetie, I'm not going anywhere."

" Oh yes you are. Today is Mia's birthday and she planned a party which you are to attend."

" Oh f***. I completely forgot. But regardless, I still won't go."

" Oh c'mon sis, Mia told me all about your highschool days, and how you two went for a lot of parties and..."

" Woahh, hold your horses. I was never a party girl and I'll never be. I guess she wanted me to look cool to you huh?"

" You're already the coolest sister in the world. So, can I go." She said making her cutest possible face and smiling.

"Sure, why not."

"Yes! Thanks sis, you're absolutely the best."

"Yeah I know."

"Also, you have to go to Mia's party. Besides you gave her your word that you'll be there."

"But..."

"No buts. You always tell me to keep my word. Lead by example."

"Ok." She said and got up from the bed.

" How about a competition while we're at it. Who gets ready the fastest."

"Oh, you're on." She said as she rushed out of Siara's room to hers.

A family of three, are in their car. The mother is pregnant and they're going out. The girl at the back is happy and grinning as her mother and father tell her exciting stories.
Out of no where, an SUV that lost control crashes into them. When her dad sees the approaching car, it's too late to dodge.
The accident scene is bloody and the last thing she could remember was hearing sirens then she passed out. She woke up to find herself surrounded by white.
She asks the nurse in the room about her mother and father, but when she doesn't give her a reply, she gets out of the bed and goes round looking for her mother and father.
She sees her mother in a ward and goes in.
Her mother hugs her and the doctor tells them that the baby was fine, but because she was premature she was currently in the incubator. They asked after her father only to be told he didn't survive the crash.
On hearing that, the mother immediately got a heart attack and died in the girls arms.
She wanted to cry, but the tears just wouldn't roll out. She just left the room and went back to hers. She didn't eat or sleep for three days while in the hospital.
On the fourth day, she demanded to see her baby sister. She was taken to see her and after seeing her, she smiled before she collapsed.

Siara and Sarah both got ready for their parties. They were both in Sarah's room.

"Do you have your keys?" Siara asked her.

"Yeah, I do." Sarah replied.

"Ok, Mia's going to be here any minute now. We'll drop you off first."

"Oh sure. Thanks sis, I thought I was going to have to show up in a cab."

" Don't worry. Mia would never have let that happen anyways."

" You know what sis, I think you should be more like Mia."

"Nah, no way. I'd rather die than live a day like her."

"Yeah right. You need to chill out sometimes though, you work too much."

"Yeah, so you can have the clothes you wear and the food you eat. But I get your concern. It's just the way I am dear. Working gives me a sense of responsibility. It's like a way I get in out of my head."

" Don't you believe a word she's saying." Mia's voice came ringing from the door, as she walked into Sarah's room.

"Mia, honestly one day I'll literally kill you for this."

"Oh no, I'm so scared." Mia said making a funny face, causing Sarah to laugh.

"I'm serious." Siara said in a stern tone causing Mia's skin to form goosebumps.

"Ok, I'm sorry. Let's head out or we'll be late." Siara stood up.

"Ok then, let's go."

It was then Mia noticed what she was wearing.

"Don't tell me that you're seriously going to a party dressed like that."
She said to Siara.

"What's wrong with it?"

"I specifically remember telling you not to wear trousers."

"Well, if you don't like it, I could as well just stay home."

"Oh no, you're dressing is superb. Mia is just trying to say she wished she was the one in trousers. Right aunt Mia?" Sarah said almost immediately.

"Not what I mean but yeah, what she said."

"Well then, the night is young. Let's get going." Mia said and they all piled out of the house and into the car.

" Hey Aunt Mia, why did you say I shouldn't believe what my sister was telling me back there."

"Well my wonderful niece. I remember a very talented writer back in the day. Nothing could ever replace writing for her. Writing was her escape route from reality. Her stories were enchanting. Once you start, you just want to keep on reading." She said, stealing glances at Siara.

"Wow sis, so you were a writer?"

"No. You're aunt Mia is being delusional."

" That explains the hand written stories I've seen in your study, and no wonder you love reading novels."

"Wait, you what?"

"Oh, nothing. Sorry."
Siara was about to say something when Sarah told Mia it was her stop. She got out of the convertible and hugged Siara, saying bye.
"Hey birdie." Siara called out to her

"Yeah."

"Curfews by 9. Mia will send her car to come pick you up. I'll be home an hour later okay?"

"Really?" Mia asked. "Don't mind your sister Sarah. "

"I'm serious though."

" But..."

"Okay, 10. I'll come pick you up on my way back, or I'll just send Mia's driver to get you."

"Thanks sis. Ok. Bye."

She said and ran off to the house, where she was welcomed by her friends.
Siara looked out, and smiled as Mia drove away.
