♠Rachelle's P.O.V.♠

     The sun was protruding from my curtains, it was then I realized it was Saturday morning, the first day of my freedom. I picked up my phone to see any messages, but my inbox was still the same. I stood up and went to the bathroom as I went to comfort myself, then I stretched once more before I went out of my room to have breakfast. It was 9 in the morning, I slept longer than usual (Well duh? Most people wake up late during the weekends!). I slowly stride down the stairs as the scent of mouth-watering breakfast filled my nose with excitement. It was there I realized they were preparing my favorite food, Bacon!!!

     I greeted the maids and the butlers a good morning. I grabbed my chair and sat down along with grandpa Andrew, Spencer. and aunt Macey by the table with me as well. I took a lot, as in a lot of bacon strips from the plate and put it on mine. Why not? I won't really resist the aroma of bacon especially since it was my all-time favorite. As I ate, I started thinking of my decision to revisit uptown. I wasn't really sure about my plan, because I knew we weren't still allowed. As I spotted daddy coming for breakfast, I started talking loudly to myself, making sure he'll hear me and react to it.

     "Hmmm... I'm still not sure whether to attend my friend's birthday party or not..." Daddy slowly turned to me as he pursued walking to his seat. I made my voice a little louder this time since he was walking farther away from me.

     "Somewhere near Whispering Avenue... Just the road to 'Uptown' and..." I tried blurting out the address of my friend's house, it wasn't her birthday, I just wanted to emphasize the word 'Uptown' for my dad to hear. Success! Dad replied to my boisterous talking and cited something about Uptown.

     "You know you guys aren't allowed to go there... Remember what I --" Daddy responded as I cut him off and started to act all innocent.

     "Yeah, uptown is so scary the first and last time I visited... I just don't want to take another sight of it as I make it to my friend's house..." Daddy smiled, he grabbed his spoon and fork and began taking some strips of bacon. As soon as I continued eating, mom and grandma Kiara went along and took their seats. I chewed my bacon slowly, wondering if my decision is right. I knew daddy trusted me, but this is my opportunity to visit an old friend, or at least if he's still there. As soon as I finished, I walked to my room still thinking of my decision and began brushing my teeth after which I took a bath in preparation for my first day of freedom outside the estate.

     After my hygienic preparations, I removed the towel from my hair as I turned my blower on to dry my  hair off. I put on my jeans and slipped on my shoes as I fixed my shirt in front of the mirror. As soon as I was ready, I grabbed my phone and my wallet. I looked for daddy and mommy as I made sure they knew I was going out now, I also informed it to grandma and grandpa. I found dad outside by the central fountain where I embraced him one last time before I left

     "Daddy, thank you so much --" I was cut as he embraced me tighter and told me something more.

     "I trust you honey..." I chuckled and smiled back before I left. I took a taxi to a small but popular commercial center just a little farther from the borders to uptown. I stepped into the taxi as I mentioned my destination.

♠Ron's P.O.V.♠

     As soon as I spotted Rachelle taking the taxi I pulled out my phone as I quickly dialled my sister Macey. Though she usually spent her time in her room reading books, she accepts my offers most of the time even without expecting a reward. As soon as she answered, I gave her the cue when to start.

     "...Make sure she doesn't get up there..." I responded to her as I spotted my old car moveand drive out following the taxi unknowingly. I didn't trust my daughter yet at the time for I knew she was a big trouble maker, and there is a 50-50 chance of her deliberately disobeying me.
