The Inheritance

Part 2

Hey Guys this is the second part! It's short I know but I'm only starting out.. I'll get to making longer chapters later. BTW this part may not be edited.. if not just kindly point out mistakes plz.

  ----------------------------------------

I walked out of the bathroom holding a towel in my hair. I heard the t.v as I walked towards the living area of my crappy apartment. Phoebe was sitting on the couch watching the news.

"What are you watching?"I seating myself next to her."Genevieve Asher", she said leaning forward with her elbows on her knees and my remote control held to her mouth. "Ugh, I just hate her so much--her business, her fashion sense, and her plastic face, shes just the perfect embodiment of the old evil rich ladies from the dramas.".

"Oh her..Isn't she widowed? technically she only took over whatever her ex-husband left...right?".

Phoebe quickly turned her head and glared at me with wide eyes," how much you wanna bet she killed him and covered it up just for the money?"

"Hmm... who knows.." , but seriously this woman has built spas, resorts, and hotels and much more, the progress she made in Asherton corp since her husband's death has gotten her influence almost everywhere. "Anyhoo...why was your shoot canceled today anyway?", I  waited for an answer but she was so zoned out. "Hello! are you even listening?",I kicked one of the arms she was leaning on.

"What the-- I was listening!"

"Your shoot?",I questioned again.

she finally processed what I said, "hm? oh, that don't worry about it~wanna go out for breakfast?"

"That was a quick change of topic.."I raised a brow at her.

"Really don't worry about it", I could tell she wanted to change the subject.I continued to give her a look that meant I wasn't buying whatever she was throwing at me." ugh..fine! You got me.., I'll open up to you about it later just give me time to handle it for myself!", she finally gave in.

"Trouble at work? let me guess your photographer doesn't think you're showing enough skin?",I replied with the consideration of her past problems with her old photographer.

"No, not that.....", she huffed "now my agency thinks I'm not gaining enough publicity and should do something different!" she started with a frustrated tone," I mean seriously we kept arguing on the phone about whether or not I should tattoo half my body or become an androgynous model! Like for real! Do I look like someone cut out to look Like a man!?.. Ugh, I'm just so frustrated with them!"

"And you're planning to handle this how exactly," I asked patting the ends of my hair with my towel.

"Terrance saved my ass. He managed to pull through with some of his connections to get me an invitation to some party... Apparently, a lot of important people are attending so I'll have to make myself noticed and pull my way through.", she relaxed a little.

    Terrance was her manager. He found her back when Phoebe and I had just graduated high school. We were at the coffee shop we always hung in and he happened to be there that day. He noticed her and apparently 'could not let the opportunity pass by' because Phoebe's beauty was so 'eyecatching'. And in all honesty, it was true. Phoebe had always had looks on her side. She has beautiful blue eyes, sharp features, clear fair skin and had light brown hair until her agency forced her to dye it blond. When Terrance offered her the job she managed with life better and was even able to make enough money to buy a LIVABLE apartment, something comfortable, unlike my small crappy one. Since then he's managed to save her ass in many situations like this.

"Thats Terrance for you.. Him and his wide connections", I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah well his connections have never let me down so I'm planning to use this party as my opportunity put my status up! Before I put my only job on the line."

"Yeah well Its almost 10:00 am lets head out for breakfas-", I was interrupted by Phoebe suddenly shushing me.

"Omg I totally forgot!", Phoebe said staring at the screen of the tv with wide eyes.

"Forgot what?"I asked completely confused.

"Its the anniversary of the Violets family's death!", she said it like it was the most obvious thing.

"So?", I was still confused as to what this had to do with anything.

"So! Don't you get it, its the talk of the season every year, its important!"

"Phoebe, its literally the same thing every year, it doesn't concern us."

" not this year!.. You know how Genevieve is originally a Violet, You know  before she got married and changed her name and whatever.", Phoebe's arms flung dramatically.

"Yeah yeah get to the point!",I said hurriedly

" in 2 weeks its the 18th birthday of  Gavin And Aria Violets daughter! When They died no one ever knew what happened to her and her remains were never found so  a lot of people just assumed she was still out there.Its been 14 years already.. By now if she was still alive she'd collect her inheritance but since shes probably dead its all going to go to Genevieve since shes the last relative...God how this lady just keeps gaining money from dead people!", Phoebe dramatically rolled her eyes.

The violet family were one of the richest and elite in New York City. The family owned resorts and hotels almost everywhere. It was started by Gavin's, grandfather. The business was passed down to Gavin's' dad then to him. Of course all this used to be until 14 years ago when a fire broke out in one of their mansions outside of the city. Killing Gavin and his wife Aria with supposedly their daughter, which whom remains were never found. Genevieve being Gavin's sister and last direct relative is to now gain the family's inheritance. As for the business, its been run by Gavin's second hand the last decade but the sole inheritor of it would now be Genevieve.
