Chapter 9

SCARLETT COBBS

Perfect family… 

An outsider or someone that wasn't me would most likely say that about my family. Perfect. My father was a businessman with the leading business in the world. Again, Perfect. 

My mom has been leading the accounting department and managing my father’s wealth since they began dating. She was good for him… again, Perfect. 

I, the only daughter of two perfect couples also manage the beauty line of the group and someday would become the Director, succeeding my father. 

Perfect? 

No… 

We weren't perfect. 

“You get prettier each time I see you, sweetie.” 

My mom. Grace Cobbs. That was like her. Acting like we were the closest mother and daughter in the world. Like I said, acting. All my life, she had been acting. She could be the perfect wife my father needed but she wasn't the mother I needed and se never learned to be. 

She sticks to acting.
