The dirt on jewel

Chapter 6

Samantha Hellard and Aldwin Hellard must have some connections.

During my time in MJ I had never heard of Samantha having a brother. People talked about her mother attending a fashion show and doing interviews for Vogue,her father meeting the President and going to auctions,but I never heard of a brother.

I managed to walk back home though I had no idea of my surroundings because I was so occupied with my own thoughts. Probably nobody knows about him or maybe the Hellard family just didn't wanted to tell people they had a son. But why? The question remained unanswered as to why nobody knew of the future heir to the Hellard's businesses.

I rang the doorbell of my apartment and waited for my mother to open the door.

"It's good you are back. Come on in." She said excitedly.

"Mom is he still here?" I asked. I had absolutely forgotten that my brother was coming back today.

"Mom who's there?" I heard the familiar voice say as he stepped into my view. He was tall,about at least a foot taller than me and manlier than before. His voice was the same as my father's and his face exactly like my mother's. But this time seeing him I felt a rage inside me,like a flaming torch. I wanted to hold him by his collar and tell him about all the days me and my mother spent in agony.

Instead I just simply said,"So you are back? It's so amazing how you didn't bother telling us before you left but informed us when you planned on coming back."

"Oh dear sister!its so good to see you living so well. Mom told me that you got a job at...."

"Yeah me and mom are living very well despite the fact that we had no one by our side to take care of us!"

"Little sis!you know I went for you guys. How could I have betrayed my beloved mother and sister! Huh?"

It was really hard for me to control my emotions,my rage,my furiousness. He never even bothered looking back and I am sure this time again he wants something thus he has come back.

"Come on,come on,let's go in and talk." My mother rushed us inside seeing the atmosphere between us.

"I am going to bed." There was no better option,I just wanted to be alone for awhile.

"Ayana!" My mom sighed but she knew there was no use in stopping me.

I really thought now that life was miserable and I wanted to blame it all on someone, maybe Samantha. But she had done nothing,it was my fate! Absolutely miserable and pitiful. That's who I am,the girl who just looks like any other girl on the street,who is smart but not wise,courageous but not thoughtful. The girl who nobody wants to be!
I lived in the shadows of darkness,with anger and grief that I could not show anyone.

The next morning I woke up early and went back to the office. It was especially noisy today because there were a lot of celebrities coming in the evening for a special meeting with Samantha. Everyone was busy with one thing or another,even Cullen and Leya didn't had time to greet me. So I went straight ahead to Samantha's office.

It was a bit shocking seeing Samantha so early at the office and busy in her work. But it was better than waiting,so I just stepped inside the office.

"Ayana,right come in." She said not taking her eyes of the computer.

"Good morning!"

"Well,how was your meeting last night?" She asked me inquiringly.

"Fine." I replied hesitantly.

"Fine? So what did you find out?" She further asked me.

"I went there and he was waiting for me. So I greeted him but he asked about you. I think he would have preferred meeting you personally."

"Obviously he would have preferred meeting me. Why would anyone would want to meet a substitute of the person they wanted to meet?But I am asking who was he?"

"Umm...I asked his name was,well Aldwin Hellard!" I said at last.

"Did you say Aldwin Hellard?" She asked without changing her expressions and tone.

"Yes,and he asked me to give you this document."

"Alright,then."

"So I will be leaving now." I said while getting up from the chair.

"Right. You are coming for the test tomorrow,aren't you?"

"I will come." I replied plainly and left her room.

As I was passing from Arnold's office he called me.

"Ayana wait!" He said without raising his voice.

"Yes,Arnold."

"Well the timing for tomorrow is 9 am. Don't be late and remember about the advantage I told you about. Good luck!"

"Thanks Arnold,that's very sweet of you." I said as I started moving towards the door.

After going to my part-time jobs and receiving my month's pay I started making my way back home. It was already nearly ten and I had hardly had a rest today. Mom was already asleep and I decided to skip dinner because I was too tired to make anything for myself. But it was hard enough falling asleep,there were too many thoughts that were bothering my mind. My body was aching badly too and tomorrow I was going to have a test for MJ. Samantha didn't show any interest in Aldwin either,so I thought that probably I,was just overthinking about the matter.

I don't know when I fell asleep but I was already late for the test,so I quickly dressed up and without eating my breakfast despite all my mother's pleading,I hurriedly reached the office. It was a relief that I was only 2 minutes late so I quickly made my way up to the 7th floor where the test was supposed to be taken.

Once I reached there,I saw crowds of people about the same age as mine waiting for there turns. Then I saw a guy from the HR department come out and tell us all to wait in the lounge. So everyone headed towards the lounge and one by one they started to call out names of candidates for the interview,in the conference room.

After around 5 minutes of waiting I realised that the person who just sat by my side was no other than Aldwin Hellard!The handsome,tall,exquisite,probably the most wealthiest guy in the room. Which was the justification as to why people were continuously throwing looks at me,only,it were meant for Aldwin Hellard and not the shabby,old me!

He sat there stiffly without looking away or talking to anyone,until my name was called out.
