The Beauties of Bellemont

The bitch is back, both of them.

"That's a new record.", Elise Sinclair started to scold as her eldest daughter Diana entered the living room. " You've arrived two hours ago and you're already in trouble again".

Diana rolled her azure blue eyes as she threw her new Vintage hobo bag, the one she bought in California, on the Persian rug.

It had been two months since the day that she got expelled from Mount Olivier Academy for girls in Philadelphia and after that she hitch hiked to L.A to stay with some friends of her, then she used her father's Black Amex card to book fancy hotel rooms.

The rest of the time she slept on some famous celebrity's couch. The tabloids were filled with cover stories of her current best friend, Annarina Cartwright; famous for starring in one of the most watched series Fright Heights.

" Did you hear a word I just said ?", her mother shrieked as she flung her hands above her head, the international sign for ' I give up'.

" Come on mom," Diana started to mumble as she got comfortable on the sofa and placed her jet lagged feet on the coffee table whilst twirling a piece of her dark brown hair around her finger.

" It's not that bad, we just had some fun ", she tried to defend herself.

" FUN?, FUN? You call that FUN?", her mom shouted as she pulled out some brown hair strands from her perfect chignon.

" Mrs. Carlyle called me to inform me that my slutty daughter was naked in her son's bedroom!", she shouted hysterically.

" I wasn't naked...", Diana said rolling her eyes at the words that her stupid neighbor used to describe her bikini.

" I was wearing a white two piece, we went swimming mom", she continued as she fished out her phone from the pocket of her navy blue and white Lavin strapless play-suit.

" ..anyway, any white bikini is see- through after it touches water" Diana could see her mother was fuming.
"And Travis is the one who invited me", She added with a innocent smile.

" Diana, your father will hear about this", her mother said firmly as she stormed out.

" What am I suppose to do in this boring town?", she said dramatically and started to type on her phone.

Margot unlocked the front door of Herring Manor. The home has been empty for years, because the Herring's decided to go traveling rather than stay put.

At first it was Mrs. Herring, Mr. Herring, and little Margot, but two years into the adventure it became just Mr. Herring and Margot, Mrs. Herring ran off with some Italian man.

Mr. Herring thought it would be best if he and Margot continued the journey, so things could remain "normal", but eventually her father married Lorraine Beck, a single mom and British supermodel. So it went from Mr. Herring and Margot to Mr. Herring, Margot, Lorraine Beck-Herring, and Jordan Beck.

Jordan Beck, Lorraine's son from her previous marriage to some a.sshole lawyer. Jordan is two years older than Margot and the reason why she is being forced back to Herring Manor. You'll learn sooner or later why, but for now, the reason is just Jordan.

Margot stepped through the door and into the grand, but slightly dated, estate. The only reason the Herring's never sold was because the property has belonged to Mr. Herring's family for decades. Even if he wanted to sell it, it would be far too complicated to do so.

Not only would he have to dig up all the ancient paperwork, but he'd have to consult with his brothers to do so and they're still upset even to this day that he had inherited the land instead of them. They all inherited other properties and treasures, but it had been Nicholas, the middle brother (of 5) who inherited the beloved beach manor.
