Emily's POV:
"LILY, GET DOWN FROM THERE." I shout through my terrible headache running across the room to catch to one of my daughters before she falls if the worktop.

God, I hate it when they've come back from the childminder.

Ever since earlier this year due to the new government teachers salaries have been cut, massively.

Alison and I can only afford the cheapest childminder in town. Even then I've had to cut my hours to look after them.

That mixed with the rusty whistle I've been blowing all week, drilling the shambles of a swim team I've been given this year, and constantly have to visit my mum in hospital has been the cause of constant headaches and mood swings from me and Alison. Then, there's the upcoming wedding.

My mum's been ill for a few months and any spare money we have goes into paying her medical bills.

I'm about to put Lily down next to her sister when a knock on the door comes.

"ONE MINUTE!" I shout to the person on the other side. I don't know why I'm rushing over its probably just someone selling something anyway.

"Hello?" I say as I open the door daughter in arms. There's no one there. "Kids!" I huff almost on the verge of screaming in frustration when I see a letter white on the ground.

I carefully put Lily down and pick it up. It's a white letter with 'Miss A. DiLaurentis & Miss E.Fields' handwritten on the front in a fancy font. I turn it over and open it at the wax seal that seems familiar.

Inside I see a invitation cards written:

Dear,
Miss A. DiLaurentis
&
Miss E. Field

Mr Shepard Lambrick
Invites you both to his mansion in Provo Utah
On Friday 13 October

For the chance of winning a lifetime of change all for attending a simple dinner party and and playing one small game.

I read it twice over before taking it all in.

Shepard Lambrick... Shepard..... Lambrick..... That name rings a bell in my head. I sort out the girls before heading on my home and Googling the name.

Shepard Lambrick is a famous multimillionaire philanthropist. His charitable foundation offers millions of dollar and a lifetime security to those who win his parlour games. Why me and Ali??

Past winners are all doctors and lawyers including Dr Brendan Barden, the best oncologist in the country.

I have to wait till Ali gets home, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
