[Here we are today with Supermodel Ashely Bennet's manager, Stella Turner," A reporter said. "Ms. Turner, The public is dying to know, what has happened to Ashely Bennet and where is she now?"

Stella stopped walking and faced the reporter. "Ashley Bennet has taken a break from the limelight to work on her own personal development. All we know now is that the Supermodel is focusing more on her personal life and on what makes her happy."

"But will the public still get to see her in the next fashion shows?" The reporter asked.

"The supermodel will still be modeling for brands but she's stated that she'd be retiring from the runway world. Now if you may excuse me, I should get going." Stella made a small smile and continued walking away into a van and the van drove off in the LA road.

The reporter turned back to the camera and smiled. "There you have it folks, the supermodel, Ashley Bennet has reportedly taken a break from the limelight to focus on herself. Now the only question is. Where is she now?"

The alarm clock rang 6:30 AM.

"Shoot!" I scrambled out of bed and took Blake's arm out of my waist.

"Hey," He complained.

"Get up mister, it's already 6:30," I tapped him.

"5 more minutes." He said in a sleepy voice.

"We're gonna be late." I reminded him.

"Who cares, I'm the boss."

I frowned and hit a pillow on his head. "This isn't about work."

"Ow, Ok puppy chill give me 5 minutes. Oh and good morning to you too."

I rolled my eyes and kissed him before scurrying to our bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before fixing my robe. I walked outside our room.

"Good morning Ma'am," One of our maids greeted me.

"Good morning Mary." I smiled at her and walked through our house's hallway. I stopped by a door and knocked.

When no one answered I knocked again.

Still no one answered. I sighed and entered.

I slowly tiptoed to the bed. "Sweetie?" I tapped my daughter's shoulder trying to wake her up.

"Mommy?" She opened her eyes a little.

"Good morning." I kissed the top of her head.

"5 more minutes." She hid her head under her pillow.

I sighed she definitely was her father's daughter.

"Penny?" I tapped her again. "You're gonna be late for school."

She sighed. "Ok, I'm up." She sat up, stretched her arms and yawned.

I chuckled as I moved her blonde hair out of her face revealing her green eyes. "I'll see you downstairs." I kissed forehead again before standing up.

When I left her room I moved to the room next door.

I knocked.

No one answered.

I opened the door.

The lights were off, the bed was made and every part of the room was clean.

I turned around to see Penny right behind me.

"Where's your brother?"

"I don't know." She shrugged.

I closed the door and started to walk downstairs. Where could he be?

My brows furrowed when I heard something cooking in the stove.

"Bryce." I called.

"We tried to stop him Ma'am, he just wouldn't listen." The maids told me.

"No, it's ok." I laughed and walked towards the kitchen.

I laughed when I saw him reading a book in one hand and stirring something in the pot with the other. "Good morning." I kissed him. "You're up early."

Unlike Penny, he was all ready for school. He was in his Eres uniform and his brownish blonde hair still looked fresh from the shower.

"Morning Mom, I'm making breakfast." He smiled and went back to reading his book. I watched as his green eyes went through the pages.

"What are you cooking?" I eyed the pan. "Do you need help?"

"Mom, I'm thirteen." He stated the obvious.

I laughed. "Ok, you're in charge."

I helped Bryce make breakfast while the maids set the table. When we finished, we brought it to the table.

When Bryce and I were seated, Penny came down as well. She too was in her uniform and ready for school.

I raised my brow when I saw her holding her phone in the table.

"Penny, it's too early." I reminded her.

"Huh!" She was shocked when I tapped her. "Oh, sorry." She placed her phone away.

This was Blake's doing, why on earth did he decide to give her a phone for her 7th birthday?

"Good morning," Blake joined us on the table. He was already dressed in his business suit. "Morning sweetie," He kissed Penny on the head. "What's that you're reading?" He ruffled Bryce's hair making him look up from his book.

"20,000 leagues under the sea." Bryce showed the cover and went back to reading. Blake nodded and sat down across me giving me a wink.

I rolled my eyes and handed him the food.

"So, you both excited to go back to school?" Blake asked.

"Yes, I've come to the realization that I'm less productive during summer vacation, good thing it's over." Bryce said.

"You're just saying that because you want to see-" Penny suddenly stopped. "Oops sorry, I wasn't supposed to say that."

"What is she talking about?" I raised my brow at Bryce.

"Nothing Mom," Bryce frowned at Penny and avoided my gaze.

"Anyway, I think my summer was too short, I still want to travel and sleep in." Penny groaned.

"You'll have plenty of time for that next summer." I assured her.

"Who says she can't sleep in on weekdays?" Blake asked.

"Dad, you know she could get late if she does that right?" Bryce said as if it were obvious.

"Well how come I was never late?" Blake crossed his arms challenging Bryce.

"Then you must've had friends or connection with the student council if that's the case." Bryce crossed his arms and challenged Blake.

Blake was left speechless.

I laughed at how these two looked so much alike. It was as if they were looking at a mirror only if Bryce didn't get my blonde hair.

"Oh, by the way Daddy," Penny spoke. " I think I want a pony." She smiled at Blake.

Not this again.

Blake looked at me. I gave him a warning look.

He sighed and turned to Penny,

"What color do you wan-"

He stopped when I stepped on his foot. I frowned at him and he laughed.

This was just normal.

After breakfast, we all brushed our teeth and hoped in the car to send the kids to school.

Eres Academy was close by to where we lived so the kids didn't have to board not unless they were old enough.

We drove inside the huge golden gates and into the campus. The pine trees greeted us like they always did, and the castle hence the school stood there majestically as always.

The car stopped in front of the school.

"Bye Mom, Bye Dad." Bryce took off his seatbelt and hoped out the car.

"Have fun!" I called to him as I watched him enter the castle. I turned to Penny who was negotiating with Blake.

"So if I get high scores, then I'll get to have a pony?" Penny asked.

"Yeah, that's your Mom's condition," Blake sighed. "But maybe she'd allow it if I got it for your birthday."

I rolled my eyes.

"Sweetie, you might be late." I reminded her.

"Oh, yeah." She fixed her things and hopped off the car. "Bye Mommy, Bye Daddy!" She waved before walking into school.

"She got that from you, you know." I told Blake when we started driving away.

"Relax , she'll grow out of it." He laughed. "Now since the kids are at school, what do you say I take you out for some coffee?"

I raised a brow. "Don't you have work?"

"Who cares, I'm the boss."

I rolled my eyes.

"What do you say Puppy?" He waited my answer.

"Fine, but after this you have to drop me off at the restaurant. Stella has some things do discuss with me about the sales."

"Whatever you say Puppy." He winked at me.

"Whatever Jerk." I rolled my eyes and laughed. As our car headed out the gates of

Eres Academy.
