The Female Lead Is A Lesbian

Zoey furrowed her brows again, " Worse?"

She muttered under her breath.

"*Sniff Hoo* You're right, you're right. Um, maybe we can call the doctor Dr. Stone. When he gave us the diagnosis on Zoey he said he would do whatever he could to help us." Chloe whimpered.

Zack shook his head and retorted, " I tried already, at first he said there was nothing we could do. After that, he didn't pick up at all when I called."

Chloe held her head in her hand and inquired, " Maybe we can take a loan from the bank or from mobsters and get her treatment."

Zack shook his head again and retorted, " We can't. Thanks to Donny, nobody, not even a scammer will approach us let alone give us a loan."

Chloe then suggested, " Uh, what about Angela she works at Amethyst hospital and she cares for Zoey right maybe we can ask her."

Zack sighed, " *Sigh* Maybe, but for all, we know she could've been placed there by Donny, Erica, Rose or whoever. But *sigh* we have to do whatever we can. I'm gonna take extra shifts to raise some more money."

Chloe nodded and said, " Yes, I'll do the same."

Zack wanted to object to Chloe working harder, but the determination in her watery eyes made it impossible for him to even open his mouth.

So he nodded and said, " We have to go soon. I'll go say goodbye to Zoey while you get ready."

Hearing Zack approach her room, Zoey hurriedly rushed to her bed and sat down. Just in time for Zack to walk in.

Zoey put on a sleepy expression and pretended to be surprised at Zack's sudden entrance.

Zack, who actually surprised that Zoey was awake, felt his lips form a small smile at his sister's bed head.

Zoey looked at Zack with her curiosity at an all-time high and so was her concern. But she swallowed both down and while giving Zack a big smile she beamed, " Hey, bro you know you should knock before entering a girl's room you know."

Zack slightly chuckled at Zoey's joke.

But then his demeanor changed his eyes went from playful to serious and his voice became strained, " So where did you go last night?"

Zoey pretended not to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere and said, " Oh, you know this and that."

Zack clenched his fist, " No I don't know! Ever since you came home you've been acting differently. You go out and don't come back until late. Making mom and me worried sick."

Zoey stood up and said, " Hey, I know that you and mom are worried but-."

"Stop! Don't try to explain! I mean what is it that's so much better than staying home. Are you partying? Did you get a boyfriend? Drugs? A sugar daddy?" Zack interrogated.

"Hey, what the hell!?" Zoey retorted angrily.

"Well, what is it then? Who knows what could happen to you with your condi-." Zack immediately stopped himself by slightly biting his tongue.

He then took a deep breath, his eyes starting to become misty and said, " What if something happens and you...never come back home. We need you, Zoey, me, and mom would be lost without you ya know."

Zoey felt like a knife was poking at her heart as her brother pointed his gaze downward to hide the water in his eyes.

She stepped forward and reached her hand out to Zack. To which Zack just turned away and put his hand on the doorknob, " *Sigh* Just, just forget it. Me and mom are heading out, there's food waiting for you if you get hungry." Zack sighed.

Zack opened the door and walked out, Zoey instinctively reached out for Zack, but drew her hand away at the last second just as Zack slammed the door.

When the door shut Zoey let her hand fall back to her side and listened to the shuffle of footsteps and *bam* the sound of the front door slamming shut.

Zoey stood there for a few minutes just staring at the door before walking back to her bed and lying face down.

"*Sigh* I didn't know being in a family was so...complicated." Zoey sighed into her pillow.

Zoey had no family in her past life that is if one would count her s.p.e.r.m donor (Donny Bell) and her w.o.m.b (Lola Bell).

So knowing how to console her family was something absolutely new to her. So now? she couldn't help but feel a mixture of turmoil and failure. And thanks to Chloe crying in the kitchen and Zack laying into her, Zoey felt like a jackass.

While she was wallowing in despair Sky was waiting for her to be in a better emotional state so he could tell her what he had discovered.

(Ten Minutes Later)

Sky was still waiting for Zoey to cheer up and was honestly a little surprised when Zoey instructed, " Sky look up my past medical files and pay close attention to appointments and check-ups done by a doctor Stone. And see if he made a prognosis of anything along the lines of a terminal illness. If-, or rather when you find him dig deep into his past and see if you find anything, mmm, hinky."

[Yes, right away... Umm]

"What is it Sky?" Zoey asked.

[Uh, I was waiting until you were in a better mood. But I have more information that asked me to acquire. UH, but if you're not feeling up for it-]

"No it's okay, lay it on me," Zoey said.

[Are you su-]

"Sky, lay it on me." Zoey insisted.

[Alright well first off your phone is fixed.

Second, Rose has scheduled a press conference for Wednesday.

Third, that *ugh* Cody sent you a message it pretty long. But the gist of it is that his father Isaac is convinced that the only reasons you continue to be with Alex is because you love him-]

"WHAT!?" Zoey exclaimed and her head shot up from her pillow.

[Yeah and the other is he thinks your 'horrible' mother might have something to do with you staying married to Alex.]

"*Ugh*" Zoey rolled her eyes and g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

[He even specifically said, ' I swear ever since he met you it's like he had a hole carved into his brain.' So he wanted to warn you because his father might do something stupid.]

"*Hah* Now that I think about it he probably did. I'm the female lead and from what I've read before most female leads have this sort of halo that attracts overbearing, arrogant, cold, super-rich, mostly CEOs of several companies, type of men.

This halo makes me first appear as interesting, which makes them start looking into me and my past. Then they start pursuing me and yadda yadda all that shitty stuff. Sometimes turning them into brainless, lovestruck, horny, zombies.

This also invokes many situations that are either unrealistic and misunderstandings. Along with extreme jealousy and yandere tendencies from other women.

So unless I fall for another guy or for his charms. Which will never happen because I ride the beautiful lesbian rainbow. He will either kidnap me and hold me, prisoner, kill me then kill himself, or *ugh* god knows what else."

[So how do we deal with it?]

"Well, that I don't know. You can't exactly rub off a halo. I'll have to think of a way." Zoey pondered.

"*Sigh* Alright, tell me what else you have for me." Zoey sighed.

[Ah, yes! The total amount you obtained from Fatty, not including the money I transferred back to the people he stole from, was 140 million. I transferred 35 million to Katherine's account and made it impossible to see who hacked into Fatty's accounts. I also transferred the money in small increments into different accounts.]

"*Ah* I'm rich and it feels so good. Ah, *ahem* I mean that's good. But that doesn't mean I should stop. Ok, search for warehouses or-, well, any structures that'd make a good lab."

[Got it.]

"Now what else?" Zoey inquired.

[Mmm. I've been tracking the Swordsmen's movements and it seems to he's soon arriving in this city.]

Zoey nodded her head and asked, " M'kay, tell me when he does arrive and notify me of his activity. What else?"

[Remember when you asked me to look into that fight club owner? Well as it turns out he's also the boss of that hostess club. I decided that you would probably want me to dig deeper so I did.

His name is Antonio Jackson and it seems that he is one the underlings of the elusive leader of the Dragon Claw gang. From what I understand it seems that the leader of the said gang is the one who allowed girls to be sent to Fatty's room in exchange for his cooperation and an agreement for peace.

Then I happened to discover that the leader also seemed to be involved in or the organizer of Cody Lu's attempted kidnapping.]

Zoey's eyes narrowed and she clenched her jaw. She wanted to track the bastard down and-.

Well, her thoughts are a little too graphic but let's just say that some of her thoughts included a hot metal pole and a certain place where the sun doesn't shine.

"Mmm, can you find out his identity?"

[I'm sure I can but he leaves basically no paper trail so I'll have to go through known associates and satellite images so it might take a little while.]

"*Sigh* Ok, what else?" Zoey sighed.

[Alex has demanded that you return by four in the morning.]

"Oh, darn it! I slept too late, I guess I should just stay home *SIGH* what a shame." Zoey announced really sarcastically.

[Oh! And the man who you sold jewelry to would like to meet up to discuss a contract.]

"Ok, when and where?" Zoey asked.

[He just said to come by the jewelry shop whenever you're ready]

"That's... considerate. They probably don't want me to find out where their boss lives so they'll put a bag over my head and shove me in a van." Zoey thought.

[And that fiasco you caused at the hostess club has been broadcasted nationwide.]

"Great! That's exactly what I was hoping for!" Zoey exclaimed.

[Uhm, Miss Zoey? I'm confused.]

"Oh, about what?" Zoey asked.

[Well, I calculated at least three other ways you could have escape being cornered but you chose to jump out of the window.

And before you even went to the club you called 911 and alerted them that there had been an assault in room 409.

And while one would be ticked off or annoyed that you are on every news network there is. You seem genuinely excited, do you have some sort of plan?]

Zoey's lips curved into a malicious smirk, " Well that's because I wanted to be seen and stir up as much attention as I could. As for a plan, where's the fun in only telling you? You'll just have to sit patiently."

['Miss Zoey is definitely up to something I can already feel the souls of her victims leaving their bodies']

Sky shuddered.

[Alright, I won't press any further I'm just glad that you're feeling better after being yelled at by your brother.]

"*UGH* I almost forgot about that." Zoey buried her face back into her pillow.

[Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to-]

"*Sigh* No, no, it's not your fault. Just give primary focus on finding information about the doc and the gang leader." Zoey sighed.

She then pushed herself up on the bed and scratched her head. "And I should get this meeting with the jeweler over with. I have classes in the afternoon."

She got up from her bed and stretched her arms over her head. "Sky, I need you to pick me out some clothes. Let's get this done." Zoey announced with a slightly annoyed look on her face.
