Kylie Bray (Love, Hate and Billions)

Chapter 2 (Kylie)

I asked Kevin that day if he lost his feelings,

he just smiled and said he ain't got any.

It didn't bother me as much as it hurt mama, so now, I make sure to have them for him. Whenever I'm

around him, I help him out when he doesn't know what to do.

We have eye signals and hand signs. I even spent three hours last month teaching him to laugh and

frown.

My stomach pained at how much laughing I did.

My mama walked into the game room and looked at us like we were crazy, maybe we were but I didn't

mind, and neither did Kevin.

My Kevin is special but also dangerous, he has a dark side to him that I sometimes see when he thinks

no one is paying attention, but he is also my protector.

And then there is my baby half-brother, Jace, he's eighteen months younger than me. He, well I'm not

sure how he will turn out and what place he’ll fit in the family, but from the day he was born he always

had a piece of me.

He looks just like my mama, with the biggest and brightest blue eyes and blonde golden hair.

David said Jace was going to break lots of hearts when he got bigger, but I just worry about people

breaking his. Jace seems more mellow, and softer, but maybe it's just because he's still so young.

But what do I know, I'm eight.

He is after all a Stone, the last of the Stone brothers.

They ARE all the children of my mama s husband, Hector Stone, owner of Stone Fort International and

the 7th richest man in the world.

Except for me, I am the only girl in the family, but I'm not a Stone.

I am a Bray, Kylie Bray.

Daughter of billionaire extraordinaire Marcus Bray and Heiress Hunter Orniel.

My papa has two children from his ex-wife Janice, Mason who is a few months younger than Jace, and

baby Natasha, she's like four or five. My papa doesn't see them too often but Janice apparently isn't

too well so that is gonna change soon.

I can't wait for that to happen, it might be nice being the eldest for a while.

At Stone’s Estate, they are always trying to boss me around.

Jace is too young so he doesn't count.

My mama did count, big time.

She likes making me stand by the wall. She says it's good thinking time, apparently having an answer

for everything isn't ‘good behavior’.

I don't get it, I'm not even that naughty.

My papa lets me say what I want, why couldn't my mama just do the same.

I’d always stayed between my mama and papa. They both love me equally, but mama says, my papa

doesn't know how to tell me no and it's important I learned it from her.

I asked her why did he have to tell me no, when it was so easy to just say yes.

My papa only wants me to be happy, what is so wrong with that. My mama said it was for the same

reason I was asking. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I didn't understand that, so I asked my brother David. He is no genius but I like the way he explains

stuff to me, and boy did he explain it. Apparently when I grow up happiness is going to mean ‘shit’,

because big people like the word NO.

So it is torture to say I'm stuck with mama this holiday and that means my three older brothers. I love

my brothers, step and real, but boy are they bossy.

The one holding me over his shoulder, while I scream and drum my small fist on his huge back, him, I

love the most and that is only because David yells at me when I'm naughty and I don't spend much

time with the others as I do my two older brothers, David and Michael.

Jace is my favorite brother because he is cute, but he is also young and my mama's baby, so he stays

with mama a lot, and I don't like staying around mama too much.

Kevin spends most of his time with his friends in the forest or climbing trees. I only join when I don't

have anything else to do or he asks me to.

And me, well I spend most of my time with Michael and his girlfriend, Willow, they’d been dating for two

years now.

They always let me hang out with them when they are at home, or going out to football games.

This is cool because when David is with any girl he says it's adult time and leaves me behind but he

does take me out a lot.
