Odd Man Out

The Backstory

Twenty-two years ago a blonde blue eyed girl was born to two of the most influential and rising entrepreneurs of the modern age. She grew up in a business society where she'd only ever see her parent once in a blue moon. She felt utterly alone.

A year ago Skylar was sentenced to over twenty years in prison after attempting to kill her father Roger Anders with venom.

It was the night of an office party. More like a gala really to show off the company's latest achievements. Sky wore a gold dress that hit the floor, with strappy matching heels and curled hair. She hid the vile under her garter.

"Sky!" Sky's mother hollered. Roger looked quite similar to Sky. Sky was the only kid to look like him. Lillian would always joke that Cathrine and Johanna were related to his assistant Clayton. Little did they know after Sky got incarcerated they weren't far off.

"Yes?" Sky cracked open the door of Roger's office.

"Are you coming down darling?" Lillian entered the room. Sky quickly dropped her dress.

"Uh, yes." She walked to the door. "Shall we?"

The two of them walked hand in hand down the staircase that overlooked the office down bellow. Sky immediately had eyes on the bar by the buffet. But Lillian forcefully dragged her over to where Roger and Walker stood chatting. Sky couldn't stand small talk, there was no point for it to her. She wanted the straight point for every conversation.

"Sky," Walker took Skylar's hand and twirled her around. "You look ravishing."

"Thanks Walker." Sky mumbled.

"So do you Mrs. Anders." He flattered.

"Oh please Walker, you're making me blush." Lillian hid behind Roger.

"Drinks?" Sky blurted out.

"Yeah, I'll take a scotch honey." Roger said. "Your mother will want a champagne."

"Alright, be right back!"

"No, allow me." Walker pushed Sky aside.

"No, I insist." Sky grunted through her teeth.

Sky quickly scampered off to the bar. She nervously ordered the drinks, then slipped out the venom from her garter. When the bartender came back with the drinks, sky shakily grabbed them and discreetly poured the venom from the vile into the scotch.

"Here you go daddy." Sky sweetly handed the scotch to him.

"Roger I've changed my mind, I need something stronger to get through this circus." Lillian grasped onto his scotch. Sky panicked.

"Mom I can get you your own really." Sky stressed.

"No, no, honey we wouldn't want you to miss out on any more. I don't mind champagne anyways." Roger took a sip of the Champagne.

"You never drink champagne. Mother honestly it wouldn't be a bother, you don't like that brand any ways."

"Whatever gets me drunk is fine with me." Lillian took a giant swig from the cup.

"No!" The music around Skylar seemed to go quiet as she watched her mother drink the venom. Walker took her arm.

"Don't shout for Christ sake." Walker nudged. "You're making a scene."

A few hours later Lillian was rushed to the hospital. She survived...three days after she was emitted. Roger knew it was an attack on him from Skylar. She was arrested at the hospital after the cops found the vile, and her internet searches.

"You killed your mom?" Lincoln laughed. T-Bag and Sucre laughed around them.

"Shut up!" Sky snapped.

"Now that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

"How did you only get twenty years?! Must've bribed the judge." Sucre asked.

"It was an accident!" Sky felt embarrassed.

"And Walker still loves you?" Linc added.

"He loves my money!"

"Don't blame him." T-Bag whispered.
