SENATOR CLEARN!!

"You all created the bully of scholarship students rule in the school and that was the biggest reason why Frankie hated you cause his girlfriend was among them". Senator Russell questioned.

"He never really loved her, he was just using her". Dylan replied.

"Really? Then how do you explain the fact that you and your friends made them get suspended for a crime you had a hand in?". Senator Russell asked again.

"They got suspended because of the school board, not because of me!". Dylan snapped, getting pissed.

"Within the space of just four months in your senior class you and your friends created a lot of troubles hard to solve, and even went as far as making school life unbearable for the less privileged students in which both Lisa and Clearn's daughter Isla had to suffer from!!". Senator Russell snapped back and Dylan's eyes widened.

"Isla is Senator Clearn's daughter?". Dylan asked in shock.

"That's not what we're talking about right now. You're grounded for two weeks, no school, no phone, no cars and no clubbing till then! I've had enough of your shenanigan!". Senator Russell said, getting up from his seat.

"You think you have the right to have me grounded? C'mon Russell, since when do you care about whatever I get myself involved in? You left me to rot in jail for two months for a crime I know nothing about, right? If it wasn't for mom who helped bail me out then I'm damn sure you would have really made me serve that five year sentence!". Dylan snapped before getting up also and walking out of sight leaving Senator Russell who stared after him.

EVENING…

"Heard you're Oliver's sister. Woah you're rich now!". Lisa teased trying to cheer Isla up.

Lady Talia left already alone. The ladies were chilling downstairs. Maya went strolling with Oliver, while Olivia saw Davis off.

"Don't take what the lady said to you to heart, okay? It's obvious she shares the same temper as me. So don't worry she'll come along". Lisa said when Isla's mood refused to brighten up.

"You think so?". Isla asked curiously.

"I…guess?". Lisa stuttered, not sure of what she was saying.

"Isla! I've been looking for you everywhere!". Aiden said walking in and Isla turned away from him to wipe her tears while Lisa glared back at him.

"Where have you been? What happened within the space of thirty minutes you spent downstairs?!". Lisa snapped.

"Woah! Cool down Queen L I've had enough scolding for today". Aiden said and Lisa rolled eyes at him.

"Suit yourself! And don't make her cry again! Your mom has said enough". Lisa said and Isla faced Lisa with widened eyes.

"What? He deserves to know!". Lisa said to her.

"Know what?". Aiden asked Isla who bit her lower lip not ready to utter a word.

"Your face looks so dull, has my baby been crying?". Aiden asked as he cupped Isla's cheek, caressing it softly with his thumbs.

"Of course she has. Your mom was here and she said so many mean things to you. She even went as far as saying she wasn't in support of your relationship with Isla!". Lisa explained broadly and Aiden's eyes widened before facing Isla.

"Is all what she just said true?". Aiden asked, but Isla gave him no answer at all.

'Trust me when I say it's the absolute truth. You don't think I would lie in a situation like this do you?!". Lisa snapped at Aiden who in a fit of rage left Isla and began storming out of the room.

"Aiden just let it slide. It isn't as serious as Lisa stated it!". Isla said as she held Aiden back with her hands on his arm.

"So she did say something to you but you refuse to tell me?". Aiden questioned.

"I just thought …Before Isla could finish Aiden disconnected her hand from his arm before walking out of the room.

"Why'd you do that?". Isla asked Lisa.

"I just felt like it". Lisa replied before walking out of the door.

"THE GASTIO'S MANSION"

"Mum!! Mum!!". Aiden yelled when he walked into the living room and Senator Gastio who was descending the stairs gave him a sharp frown.

"What's wrong? Why the shout?". The senator asked.

"Where's mom?". Aiden asked.

"I'm guessing you want to blast me because of your little girlfriend?". Lady Talia said, descending the stairs.

"What did you tell Isla?". Aiden asked glaringly at Lady Talia.

"Nothing much. I just told her to stay away from you cause I hate her for you". Lady Talia and Aiden scoffed in annoyance.

"I f**king hates it when you try to interfere in my personal affairs!". Aiden snapped.

"Which Isla are you talking about here? Is it Clearn's and Camila's new found daughter?". Senator Gastio asked in confusion.

"Yes she's the same Isla". Aiden said, staring at his mom.

"Oh great! Everyone knew about that except me who had to find out in the worst way possible!". Lady Talia said and Aiden rolled eyes at her.

"Would it have killed you if you had introduced her to me earlier? I didn't know she was Camilla's daughter and now they're all mad at me". Lady Talia said getting emotional and Senator Gastio and Aiden sighed at the same time.

"Be honest Talia. You don't like her cause she's a scholarship student in the boys school". Senator Gastio said walking up to her, then she stood up walking up to Aiden.

"Baby?". She took Aiden by the hand but he shrugged her hand away.

"I really hated the fact that you were rude to Isla mom. Seriously I'm not happy with you". Aiden said before going up the stairs to his room.

"I'll try to like her, okay Aidey! Now that she's Camilla's daughter she won't be a scholarship student again right? I can like her now considering the fact that she's a crybaby!!". Lady Talia yelled after Aiden who stopped on his track before turning to face her.

"I'm the only one allowed to call her a crybaby. And don't bother trying to speak to me in this house if you don't apologize to her". Aiden muttered coldly before finally going up the stairs.

"You think I care?! I'm the wicked one for wishing someone better for you!!". Lady Talia yelled after him.

"And you?! Won't you say something to your hot headed son. He's planning on not speaking to me till I apologize to his little girlfriend who f**king does that!?". Lady Talia yelled at Senator Gastio who was not seated on one the chairs with his legs crossed as he scrolled through his business tab, with his spectacles on.

"If you're in the wrong, apologize Talia…

"No way!". Talia snapped loudly.

"You always take his side". Lady Talia said breaking down in tears and the senator signed before dropping his tab on the table.

"Look honey. If you remember vividly you two fight alot and I prefer not to interfere. You call his girlfriend a crybaby but I think you're a real crybaby yourself. You're just jealous of the love he has for her. You're afraid his entire attention would divert from you to her and that's why you're using her poor background as an excuse. You never cared about the poor or rich? You were even the one who brought up the idea of sponsoring the less privileged to Geelong with a scholarship. And now because of your son you have to turn pitiful? Poor you". Senator Gastio said, patting her lightly on the shoulders before going upstairs.

"You're not going anywhere. You stay here till I'm done feeling guilty". Lady Talia said before hugging him from behind.

"I knew I was risking a lot when I married a drama queen like you. You get mood swings all the time". Senator Gastio smiled.

"I'm your problem. Deal with it!". Lady Talia muttered hugging him more tightly and the senator turned to hug her warmly.

"THE CLEARN'S MANSION"

ISLA'S ROOM…

"You need help unpacking?". Oliver asked, walking into her room.

"No, I'm cool". Isla declined as she arranged her clothes into her new closet.

Her room was designed to suit her taste. Everything was painted in pink including the bed with fluffy duvet was pink. And the ceiling was decorated with a pink mosaic shaped like a star.

"You'll get used to everything sooner or later, don't worry I'll help you fit in perfectly". Oliver said and Isla nodded.

"I just came to call you down for dinner". Oliver said.

"I'll be down in a sec". Isla said.

"Take your time". Oliver said before leaving.

"I felt more comfortable speaking to him when I knew nothing about us being siblings. Now everything just seems awkward". Isla muttered, then her mind drifted to Aiden and she thought of calling him but she erased the thought.

DINING ROOM…

"The police have finally caught Frankie's accomplice together with his men in the airport where they tried to flee the country with Jake's younger brother Chris ''. Senator Clearn said. The whole family was eating at the diner.

"You mean Jake?". Oliver said and Isla faced him.

"Which Jake?". Isla asked curiously.

"The one who works at the same restaurant as you". Oliver replied and Isla's eyes widened.

"Speaking of which. You should quit your work at the restaurant and fully face your studies". The senator said and Isla said nothing as she ate, she was still wondering why Jake could do something like that? Does this mean he was the same Jake who released such illicit videos about her? She thought within herself.

"You'll be resuming tomorrow right?". Lady Camila asked Olivia who sat beside her.

"Yes mum". Olivia replied with a smile and Lady Camila patted her hair smoothly while Isla stared at them.

Oliver and Senator Clearn saw that and when they didn't want her to feel left, they patted her at the same time from both sides and Isla smiled cutely at them.

But almost immediately the senator began coughing profusely frightening everyone.

"Tristan!!". Lady Camila called out in fright as she offered him a glass of water.

But right when he took it, he began coughing blood and everyone's eyes widened.

"Oliver! Call the ambulance quickly!!". Lady Camila cried out and both Isla and Olivia began crying while Oliver made the phone call.

"Dad!". Isla cried out as she watched the senator pass out…
