Seduction Betrayal

I look around my dad’s office as I stare right at the transparent display case. It holds our family's heirloom, a blue diamond. My parents value this a lot and they keep it hidden from the family’s reach. I read through the internet one day and found out this diamond is worth about one billion dollars.

” Serena.” I gasp and turn around to see my older twin sister leaning against the door frame of my dad’s office.

She crosses her arms and stares at me.

” What you doing?” She asks as she smirks at me. Her Olive skin just got a tan. She wears ripped Jean shorts and a tank top.

   I shrug and look at the family heirloom.

” The family’s heirloom. You shouldn’t be in dad’s office. And this is really important.” She points to the diamond.

” Read, there are four of them. The red one is located in India. The black gem in London, and this blue diamond right in our house. And the last one is buried in some deep place in Africa. Heard it’s priceless and it was found deep in the depths of the sea. Hilarious right?” I ask and smile at my sister, Beverly.

” Stupid. Let’s get out of here. Mom asked me to call you for dinner.” Beverly says as she turns to leave.

I roll my eyes and take a last look at the diamond before leaving my dad’s office. I shut the door carefully as i follow Beverly to the dinning room. Mom already arranged dinner while dad looks busy on the phone. I take a seat close to Beverly who sits close to mom. I smile and inhale the aroma of the food.

” Don’t tell me that , Jacob. I paid you to take care of things, not mess around. Get me what I want or don’t bother calling me.” Dad yells.

And who the hell is Jacob?

I shake my head and begin eating. Mom looks at her husband as she stands up to stand next to him. Mom places her hand on dad’s shoulder and caresses him.

” What’s happening?” I ask Beverly in a whisper. She rolls her eyes and chews her food.

” I don’t give a flying fuck , Serena. Dad’s a business man and he’s doing what he has to do. Eat sweetie.” Beverly says and winks at me.

” Are you planning to attend the party. Todd.”

I giggle. Todd is my boyfriend. We started dating three months ago in college. He is so cute and really nice. Right now , we’re in the same sophomore year , including Beverly. Dad’s rich , hates boys and don’t wanna see us with the opposite sex. Mom  just don't care. As long as we’re careful and in love, she’s fine with it. We barely go out. We barely party and barely have friends. Says it’s for security reasons and he’s trying to protect us from the outside world. Still don’t know what that means.

” I have to.”

” You truly love him a lot.” She whispers.

” He’s my first boyfriend and yes we’re in love. This is obviously our third month. I can’t just choose to not attend his party.” I snap.

She hums and nods as she drinks her water. Dad returns to the dining room with mom. They sit down and begin eating.

” Dad, are you okay?” I ask.

” Yes, sweetie. Just do me a favor and don’t go out to party if you’re planning to.”

Damn , how did he hear that?

His he aware I’ve got a boyfriend?

” So how’s college sweeties? Ready to storm this semester?” Mom changes the subject and i appreciate that.

” Of course.” Beverly replies and nods.

After dinner, I rush to my room to prepare for Todd’s party. Don’t try to go out tonight, dad’s usual slogan. I scoff and quickly strip my clothes to shower. After taking my bath, i tied my towel around my chest as I blow dry my hair. Beverly walks in as she closes my door.

” Really, Beverly. You could use some knocking lessons, seriously.” I tell her and walk inside my closet.

” I hope you’re not planning to lose your virginity tonight?” Beverly asks as she sits on the chair opposite the dresser.

I scoff and chuckle as i go through my dresses. There are tons of them. Don’t even know which one to wear. Todd likes it when I show a lot of skin. Most times I’m not comfortable with it , but being in love is stupid some times.

” Is there anything wrong in loosing my virginity, sister?”

She laughs. I peek my head out of the closet and glare at her. She rolls her eyes and looks back at the mirror. I huff and begin to throw dresses on my bed. I’m confused , i don’t really know what to wear.

” You know as your twin , i really care about you. Todd’s hot, yeah. You met him at frat and you know who he is. He likes women….”

” And that’s before. We’re in love and we’re fine with each other.” I snap at her.

” Love?” She sighs.

Beverly has been in about six relationships. None of them ever worked. Her first boyfriend, whom she really liked, dumped her for some other girl. I, on the other hand, really didn’t have time for a relationship. Todd was the only one who finally stole my heart.

” Beverly.” I walk out of the closet and tuck my strands of hair behind my ears. ” I understand that you’re my sister and you care for me.” I smile and sit on the bed running my hand down the dresses.

” Becareful, don’t want you to come crying to me.” She winks and gets up. She walks to my bed and sits down.

” Now which dress are we choosing tonight?” Beverly asks as she looks through every dress on my bed.

” This one.” She says raising up a peach colored short dress with just one strap.

” Thanks.” I snatched it from her and put it on. I return the towel to my bathroom before coming back to brush my hair.

I did my makeup as I smiled at my reflection. I step inside my shoes and pick up my clutch.

” Why don’t you come along, B?” I ask Beverly, staring at my reflection on the mirror.

” No, thanks, I’m good.”

I shrug and take one last look at my reflection before turning to look at her.

” Don’t forget to cover up for me and please lock my room door when you’re ready to leave.”

” Sure.”
