Alexis Grace

"I said where have you been?!" Sandra asks

"If you must know I was thinking of how to make you dress decently for once"I reply smirking as she flushes with annoyance.

"listen little girl I suggest you learn to hold your tongue when you're speaking to me!"she exclaims furiously.

"No you listen here you tramp,my father may have given you his last name but that doesn't give you right to my respect you are nothing but an easy lay he wanted to keep for himself and if you think you can boss me around well think again because though my dear mother lays in her tomb my father's love for her is still as fresh as the mountain lily that grows by the river bed every spring...if I were you I'd treat me right considering I'm the only precious thing my father has of my mother and he won't hesitate to throw you out if you happen to put me to stress"I all but stated calmly.

I was furious with the bimbo,I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut. Its funny that she thinks she rules this mansion, truth is all this belongs to me and is under my name and trust fund, so she can flaunt it all she wants but once I'm of age and settled she is OUT!

Alexis Celia Grace is epitome of what a modern day strong willed young woman should be.

She lost her mother at the age of twelve and her father John Grace remarried three years later to a socialite Sandra Daniels. She doesn't get along with her stepmother and the seventeen year old cousin twins Janice and Denise Daniels she came along with.

One night leaves Alexis suspicious of the trio's intentions in her house and she will stop at nothing to find out what it is they are hiding or better yet....conspiring.

But in the mean time she has to fight off the those who keep attacking her in pursuit of her life and although reluctant she has to accept the help of the devilishly handsome transfer student in her twelfth grade who seems to know more than he lets on.
