"You attended this party coz you wanted to steal this necklace, how could you?. "Aliyah said.

"All this is false accusation! Have never seen anything like this necklace before. " Rihanna blurted out.

"Exactly the point, coz yunno that this necklace cost dollar, you steal the necklace for what'is it for fame or for popularity?. " Aliyah asked.

"Why will I want to steal a necklace coz of fame and popularity?."Rihanna asked.

"Coz that's exactly what you did the very first day at college, you slapped trista and boom in a flash the whole school started talking about you. "Aliyah said

"Remember she slapped me first and beside I don't know how the necklace got to my pocket, I just don't get it. "Rihanna said.

"Shut your trash you you foòl coz I saw you when you were heading to that direction "April pointed to the restroom direction.

" I also bumped into her in the restroom it means she has been searching every nook and cranny for this necklace, and now her mission is successful coz she found the necklace and she want to deny who does that?. "

"My daughter isn't a thief stop calling her that,coz I trust her more than myself I believe in her that she's not the one who stole the necklace,it might have accidentally fell in her pocket. "Layla said.

"Like mother like daughter, who knows maybe you're the one who sent her. "Aliyah said.

"Stop it, It's me you're facing, then face me don't drag my mom into this. " Rihanna yelled her vain popping up her skin.

"And I'll keep telling you that I don't know how and When the necklace ended up with me. "Rihanna said.

"Do you have a prove?. " Trista suddenly asked.

Vanessa made to talk but Deacon quickly grabbed her hand.

He stare at her giving her the look of^DON'T YOU DARE^his look sent shiver down her spine.

"Why do I have to prove myself when I'm innocent, have never seen something like that necklace before,I don't know why the necklace is with me, I promise I'm telling the truth. "Rihanna Muttered.

"Lies, everything about you speaks lies, I know people like you you act good in the outside but in the inside you're bad, since the very first day you step your foot into the college your aura was bad. "Trista said.

"Will you confessed the truths to us now or you get arrested. " Deacon muttered.

"How do you want me to confessed about something I knew nothing about, I don't know how the necklace ended up with me. "Rihanna said.

"Dad she's lying please let the cops take care of it from here." Trista said.

And the cops entered the mansion, causing gasped, murmuring and whispering from the crowd.

As much as Rihanna wanted to cry she couldn't, coz it felt that her tears is really failing her right now.

The cops held Rihanna hand and Layla grabbed Rihanna second hand.

"I'm telling you that my daughter isn't a thief, she didn't steal any necklace this might surely be a plan work. "Layla shouted another cops came behind her and dragged her, causing her to free Rihanna hand.

"Please don't take her with you guys. "Layla shouted.

As the cops where dragging Rihanna she caught a glimpse of Braxton and she forcefully released her hand from the cops running to Braxton.

"You were there right! Did you notice anything suspicious!please tell the cops. "Rihanna pleaded and Braxton smirked.

"Why will I tell them have you forgotten how you threw me inside that stinky mud without even caring whether I might suffocate to death I pleaded you to help me get out from that mud but no you paid deaf ear, you puke on me and raise your voice at me in front of the whole class, so why do you think I'll help you?. "Braxton asked.

"It's revenge you want right! Then you can take your revenge later but first prove me right. " Rihanna quickly said

Braxton made to talk when Rosalie pulled Rihanna away from Braxton.

"Don't dragged him into this!."Rosalie said and hand her over to the cop.

"Aren't you gonna help her?."Ryder asked.

"Why do you care! I think my own payback is better than hers, finally I can get a good sleep. "Braxton scoffed.

"Dad my birthday is ruin coz of her. " Trista said faking tears.

"We can still celebrate another dear. "Deacon said and hug her.

"You did a very wonderful job, kudos dear, now your revenge is completed, you have finally humiliated her. "Deacon whispered into her ear.

"All thanks to your wonderful plan! That's why I'll keep loving you dad, you're the world best dad, better than the bestest."Trista said.

"Anything for you always dear. "Deacon muttered and disengaged from the hug.

The cops kept dragging Rihanna they were about crossing to the door when they heard him say.

"STOP."The voice Rihanna have got to listen more often.

She turn back only to see Braxton emerging toward them.

"Small master Atkins, Hope no problem?. "One of the cops asked.

"Yonno what I know every thing that transpired an hour ago. "Braxton said shocking the hell out of April And Trista most especially Aliyah.

Her palm was feeling sweating already regretting why she has to go to that hellish task of bumping into her and placing the necklace in Rihanna pocket.

What if Braxton exposes her? Will she be caught? So many questions running through her mind.

"What do you mean?. " The cops asked.

"Officer this is the actual truth."Braxton muttered.

He was about lighting the smoke with the lighter when he started hearing some whispering.

He decided to take a peek only to see Rihanna her hand was on her hair.. He hissed as soon as he remembered how she closed her eyes expecting a kiss from him.

Was she really expecting him to kiss her? He didn't knew the answer to that.

He was about turning back to the restroom when his eyes caught something.

His eyes caught when Aliyah bumped into Rihanna.

She slipped her hand into her pocket and brought out a diamond necklace, she stylishly place it in Rihanna pocket without her knowing it.

"Oh my I'm sorry. "He heard her say, he didn't knew why she carried a necklace from her pocket and placed it into Rihanna pocket without her knowing.

Nevertheless he snapped out from the thoughts telling himself that it's none of his business.
