Emily woke up in a hospital bed. She felt her body burning all over. She felt like she had a fever and was trying to recover from it. She coughed as she was getting up.
“You’re up,” said her eldest uncle, John. He was helping her to sit up.
Emily nodded her head wearily.
“How could you get this sick!” shouted her second uncle, named James.
Emily didn’t say anything.
“I knew it. That jerk couldn’t take care of you,” said her third uncle, called Jason.
Emily felt their anger and had tears in her eyes.
“I told you he wouldn’t love you,” said her fourth uncle, called Jordan.
Emily started crying as they were all right. Correct from the very beginning. She was too blind to believe them. She didn’t know that they were all telling her the truth. She believed in her heart and her false intuition. She was too young and naïve back then.
Her fifth uncle, Jack, walked up to her and put his hands on her shoulder and said, “Cheer up little princess,” his voice was soft and caring. “You will be fine after this trip and fall.” He smiled at her.
Emily smiled with happiness from his words. She nodded her head.
Jack wiped her tears with a tissue.
Emily wept and Jack held her tightly in his arms.
Her four uncles came around her and wrapped their arms around her.
Emily let out more tears and started to cry even more.
After a while Emily settled down.
Emily have her five beloved uncles.
Emily’s five uncles is not really her uncles. In fact, they’re not related by blood at all. They were adopted by Emily’s grandfather, Daniel Watson. Daniel’s best friend Jacob Young died in a car accident. In sympathy to his best friend, he adopted the five boys and raised them as his own. Thus, they became Emily’s uncle.
Going from oldest to youngest. Her first uncle is John Young, James, Jason, Jordan, and then Jack.
Her five uncles were all handsome in their own ways. Many girls chased and followed them everywhere they went. Not one minute of peace would they get if they stepped outside to go anywhere in public. They were the constant talk of the news and media besides Daniel Watson. They were also known as the five princes of Watson’s industry.
Emily’s grandfather, Daniel Watson is a talented and gifted man in businesses. He can manage any industry there ever is known. From fashion, to model, to real estate, to stocks, to computer, gaming, banks, and so forth. He knows how to run his business and make it successful. That is why he is known as the king of all businesses. He is considered to be like a royal for his richness, fame, and fortune. For his multibillionaire industry is known far and wide throughout the world.
Emily is the sole heiress to his fortune. Whoever she marries will stand by her as she stands to rule over his industry. The great and powerful empire that her grandfather built.
“By the way, what did happen to you?” asked Jason, not liking the way Emily looked.
“What?” asked Emily again.
“I mean look at your physical appearance. It looks as if you haven’t been taking care of yourself the past months.”
“Well, I got caught up with chores and stuff like that. I was busy and forgotten about my looks.”
“You sure did,” said John sighing.
“Ha. They got you to do the chores too huh?” asked Jason.
“Our little princess doing chores, now that’s a bit excessive, don’t you think?” asked Jack.
Emily didn’t say anything. It was her stupidity to think that by doing that she would be recognized by her mother-in-law. Thinking that if she worked hard as a housewife than Joshua would notice her. But she was wrong. She was wrong to the very end.
“Yes. We haven’t been able to keep in contact with you for the past six months and we come back to see you dress in rags, your hair is a mess, your facial is terrible, and you’re skinny as a stick,” complained Jordan.
“Why did do this to yourself?” asked John.
“Well, you know arrogance, stubbornness, stupidity, young love,” said Emily, hugging herself.
“It’s alright we were all once young. We all did stupid things for love,” said Jack, smiling at her.
Emily felt a bit better from his words.
“Now, let’s work on your appearance,” said John. John was taking note of Emily’s face.
“What?” asked Emily.
“Well, I mean you got a few pimples here and there, but that’s easy fix.”
“I don’t need any plastic surgery to be done on my face,” whined Emily.
“Of course, our little princess is beautiful enough the way she is. You don’t need to do anything to enhance that beauty of yours,” said James. “You will shine for you are forever young and beautiful.”
Emily smiled. “That’s right only her five uncles that she grew up knew what a beautiful woman she was.”
“Next, let’s take off those fake glasses of yours,” said James. He took off Emily’s glasses.
Emily looked at them with a clearer vision. For a long time, she struggled to look through those goofy glasses, but now that it’s off, she was able to see clearly again.
Emily looked into the mirror. Like right now, she is able to see who she truly was. A beautiful, smart, and talented woman.
“There we go, that’s the lovely princess we know,” said Jack.
Emily beamed happily at them.
“Don’t worry, little princess, we will get you shining in no time,” said James.
“Of course. I’m a natural beauty anyway,” said Emily, sounding concededly.
They all laughed at her.
Emily blushed at them.
“Yes. Because our little princess, is by far one of the most beautiful woman there ever is,” said Jack.
“It’s the truth,” said John.
“You’re by far one of the most natural beauty there ever is,” said James.
“Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise,” said Jordan.
Emily got up out of bed. She was feeling a lot better now after hearing her uncle’s words. She had her confidence back. She stood up and said, “I guess it’s time to show the real me, isn’t it?”
“Yes. It is.”
“I’ve been hiding for far too long.”
“Yes, little princess,” said Jack.
“I will need all your help.”
“Of course,” they all said.
Emily nodded. “Now, for pay back, I must get me ready for the big ball.”
“The ball?”
“During my debut my name and identity will be revealed to the world. At that time the most crucial moment I will show Joshua MacClare who I really am. I will show him what I couldn’t tell him for the past ten years. The beauty he have lost. The heiress he lost.”
They all smiled as their little princess have returned as a stronger woman.
“Trust me, by the time we are done with you, you’re going to be the beauty queen you’re meant to be,” said John.
“Yes. For that pretty face is ready to outshine anyone of those other women and mistresses,” said James.
Emily laughed at his words.
“Now that’s the lovely laughter we have been wanting to hear,” said Jack. He leaned into Emily and said, “Welcome home, little princess.”
Emily beamed happily at him. Then she looked around the room. She was surrounded by love again. There was warmth again. She was back to where she was supposed to be. The place where she always belong. The princess of her estate. Her rightful seat. Standing beside her five princes. Meant to be the little beauty she was.
“Now, I’m going to make your beautiful face on every cover of every magazine and news,” said John.
“And that lovely smile of yours,” said James.
“And that thick, long, and silky dark hair of yours,” said Jason.
“And those nice curves or yours,” said Jordan.
“And those beautiful blue eyes of yours,” said Jack.
Emily started crying with laughter and she said, “You guys are the best.”
They all smiled handsomely at her.
Emily looked back at the mirror and thought, “Emily Watson, not Wats, from this day forth, no more hiding. No more living in shadows. The real you is going to come out. It’s time to show those people and the world who you truly are.”
6 MONTHS GOES BY“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to join in on the celebration of Daniel Watson’s granddaughter’s birthday. She turns twenty-one today,” said the announcer.The crowds was cheering loudly as they were all standing behind the red carpet.“Yes, everyone is excited as we are all eager to see the mysterious woman behind the name of the Daniel’s only heir.”“Whoo!” shouted the crowds.“Yes, this is the biggest and grandest ball that everyone is waiting for people,” said the announcer. “This is what we all been waiting for!”“We want to see her,” said the crowd.“Yes, I do too,” said the announcer. “But we will see her momentarily.”“We want to see the five princes too,” shouted a female fan.“Oh yeah, we’re going to be seeing the five prince as well,” said the announcer.“We heard that they been all over the heiress.

The announcer said, “Please everyone, meet the one and only Daniel Watson!”The lights dimmed and down the stairs came Daniel Watson. He came down the stairs with a big and bright smile at everyone. He was an elderly man in his sixties. He had a full set of hair. It had white hair throughout. He also had a short and stubby white beard. He was quite fit and good looking. One could tell from one look that he was quite handsome when he was young.“Please give a round of applause to our host, the big man himself, Daniel.” The crowd was clapping loudly.The announcer handed the microphone over to him.Daniel took the microphone and spoke into it, saying, “Thank you. Thank you everyone for coming to my grand ball and congratulating my granddaughter’s twenty-first birthday.”Everyone was clapping loudly at his announcement. Everyone was excited to see his hidden granddaughter that he kept so well from society. “I’m so nervous,” said Emily, standing behind the red curtains.“What is there t
Joshua frowned as to how Beatrice knew of this much. For someone whose only in the fashion industry she sure knows a lot about the Watson’s family history. “Does she know them more on a personal level than just business,” he thought.“Now, Jason is a young and handsome man,” said Daniel.Some of the fan girls were giggling among the crowd.“Jason is among one of the most highly seek out talent among all male actors. He is also known for having the highest paid salary among everyone else across this nation,” continued Daniel.“Whoot! Go Jason!” shouted Beatrice.“Oh, you like this young man?” asked Vicky.“Who wouldn’t? Especially that sexy body of his and good look of his.”“Oh, you want him?”Beatrice laughed. “No, of course not. I’m much too old for him.”“Who cares. Some women does it.”“Well, I’m not that type of women,” said Beatrice, glaring at Vicky.“Right. Of course not,” said Vicky, nervously.Beatrice looked away from her and said, “He’s a perfect match for someone who is d
Joshua gasped as it was indeed Emily. Joshua frowned, as he could be mistaken. He doesn’t remember Emily looking like this at all. The Emily he knew before always wore big sweaters and oversized t-shirts. Her clothes were never tight once, and she always put her hair up in a messy bun. She also have these big, thick ugly glasses. But if he is to take away all of those, then this Emily would look exactly like her. His ex-wife. His one and only flower, Emily. Joshua’s breathing quickened. His ex-wife and this woman looked nearly the same. The only difference is that this Emily had on makeup. She wore beautiful clothes. Even dolly up her pretty face. She’s gorgeous. Her beauty was beyond his wildest imagination. He steadied his breath as he looked at the angelic figure on the stairsteps. “Emily,” he whispers.Vicky gasped loudly as she saw that her ex-daughter-in-law was the heiress to the trillionaire. “Oh, how I messed up. How I have screwed up so badly,” she thought. Megan’s eyes
Beatrice noticed the gloomy look in Joshua’s face and smiled. She then thought of something and said to Vicky, “How about let’s go meet the big man himself.”Joshua’s eyes widened.“Gotcha,” thought Beatrice.“Sure. Sure,” said Vicky excitedly.Joshua’s heart was beating rapidly. He clenched his fist trying to calm his rapid breathing. Today was the day he was waiting for. He was finally going to meet Mr. Daniel Watson. He was going to talk to him about their businesses transaction and used this to further his own career. Growing his business into the next multi-millionaire or even billionaire. He was smiling happily on the inside.“Come now,” said Beatrice, smiling at the three of them.Megan’s eyes was shining in those sinful eyes of her.Beatrice led them to Daniel.Emily felt something burning behind her back. She shifted her eyes without turning her head and noticed it was Joshua. Her ex-mother-in-law and Megan. They were walking towards her. He looked as handsome as ever. She fr
“I see a good and bright future ahead in front of you,” said Daniel, smiling at Joshua.“About our-” started Joshua. But before he could get any further, he was stopped. He was interrupted by none other than the one who hates him the most, and the one he hates the most.Emily grabbed hold of her grandfather’s arm. She put her slender white hands around his arm and stopping his grandfather. She said, “Grandfather, today is my birthday. You shouldn’t ruin it by talking about your ‘little’ side business.” She smiled at him.Joshua frowned as Emily interrupted him. He thought, “How could you interfere me like this?” “Humph. You think I would let you get this chance to talk to my grandfather? Not a chance. I won’t let you. I won’t let you use him,” thought Emily. Joshua didn’t like how she got in the way of his conversation. She’s ruining all of his hard work. “Doesn’t she know how big of a transaction this is to him?” he thought. “Come on, grandfather, please,” said Emily, puffing up h
“Stop them,” said Vicky, feeling a panic as she was going to lose her fortune.Joshua loosened his necktie. He couldn’t stand hearing Emily’s laughter of flirtation. He couldn’t stand seeing Emily like this. She was being chased by the five of the most wanted men of everyone’s dreams. She was getting all the attention she wanted. She was getting all the love she ever craved for. She was getting affection he never gave her. She is finally with her family. She is where she’s meant to be. A world without him. Needing a breather, he walked out into the back patio to get some fresh air. Joshua got outside and loosened his tie completely to catch his breath. As he stood by the rails of the patio, he thought of Emily. How could he win his ex-wife back. Through the bitterness of things, they still have to work things out. This is just the bittersweet of their marriage. After all, they were married. She was legally his wife. They were officially bonded together as husband and wife. They have
Joshua was sitting in the review room awaiting Daniel’s secretary arrival. He knew that the chance of seeing Daniel was a slim chance. For Daniel never saw anyone until it was time for signing. He have his secretary, or his other trusted man do the contract arrangement before he comes in to look over the deal. He would either decline or accept the contract.“If only Emily didn’t interrupt them then he would have sealed the deal already,” he thought.“Joshua,” said Daniel’s secretary.“Yes,” said Joshua, getting up from his chair.“My name is Bob. Bob West.”“Joshua MacClare.”“I heard about you.”“Have you?”“Yes. You been making some big leap lately.”“It seems so.”“You are indeed quite young and brilliant.”“Thanks.”“You remind me of Mr. Watson himself when he was young.”“Do I?”“Yes. You do.”“Well, I’m honor.”Bob smiled and at him and said, “Please take a seat and let’s review over the contract.”“Right.”Bob sat across from Joshua. He said, “So far what Daniel read through, I
