Alex, John and Adrianna now entered the art gallery in the museum. It was huge. Paintings were hung all over the walls. Adrianna absorbed its beauty. Taking it all in. She reached a sunset painting on the wall and froze.
The lights in the hall went out and everyone gasped. As a blue spot light shone on Adrianna only.The bright light now caught her by surprise. She was startled but held her composure.Although......She felt nervous standing all alone, she looked down and John was no longer in his wheelchair.

One year later.Patrick Walters had left this world. Adrianna and John had stuck to their word and did not divulge his secret. And in return Patrick Walters had stuck to his.He eventually broke the news to them a week before he could pass away.He had traveled the world with Felicia. He finally took the holiday. He finally spent timw with his wife. He did all the things he wanted to before he closed his eyes. Everyone was heart broken but they now knew that he was safe in the arms of the lord. He had one last and final request and they had honored it.He asked to be buried next to Annie. He knew he could not make amends in this lifetime. But he maybe after death he could.
"Oh my God, The baby is coming", Annie cried through gritted teeth as wave after wave of pain ruptured through her body. "Come my love, everything is going to be okay, we will reach the hospital soon" Peter Walter's escorts his beautiful wife Annie to his Lincoln. The driver holds the door open as Peter helps Annie inside the luxurious car. "STEP ON IT!" The driver jumps into his seat and speeds to St Michael's private hospital. Peter could not bear to see his wife in pain. Her water bag already broke and was messing his plush, expensive interior but he didn't care. Annie was all he cared about.Fifteen minutes later, Annie is wheeled to the delivery room. Beads of sweat line her forehead. Peter stands outside pacing. He eagerly awaits the birth of his son, the heir of Walter's industries. This baby was a game changer. Since his two brothers have also had sons of their own. He now stood a chance to claim a peice of the pie.Minutes felt like hours. He now sat
Peter sat in his study with a glass of brandy with cubes of ice. He stared at the photograph on his desk. " My beautiful Annie, why did you leave me?" a tear slipped his eye. He wiped it away with his silk handkerchief. The emptiness he felt made him cold and angry. How could he feel happy when he lost the love of his life. He had a girl instead of a boy. He felt his world was crumbling before his eyes. He longed to feel her touch and hear her voice. His heart ached for her.He was already ridiculed by his two brothers for having married poor little Annie. His eldest brother, Andrew, married, Lady Francesca,a beautiful and rich woman.Her father is the chief of security for the president and her mother, a business tycoon in the import and export industry.With this alliance, business was good. His smaller brother Jefferson, married a famous actress, Sierra Mills. Sierra was basically born on a television set. Her parents where famous in the entertainment industry and she s
***4am.****The shrill cry of a infant was ringing throughout the house. Martha, the maid, awoke suddenly and picked up Adrianna and rocked her gently trying to soothe her. The house keeper, Mrs Pots rushed in to the room snatching Adrianna from her arms, instructing her to make her a bottle as master is still asleep. Martha hurriedly walks to the kitchen to prepare a bottle and hands it to Mrs Pots. Adrianna soon calms down drinking her bottle and goes back to sleep. This was new to them.Peter had already risen, hearing the cry. He angrily jumps out of bed and takes a shower. Once he is changed he strides down to the dining room and awaits his breakfast. He is wearing an elegant silver grey suit, a crisp white shirt and a grey tie. His hair is unruly on his head and his face unshaven. After a night of drowning his sorrows he weilds a headache from this unexpected alarm clock.He sits at the large oak table drumming his fingers. The sound can be heard throug
The rain poured down fiercely on the grassy hill top. Peter had chosen a large plot in the private cemetery. They had seperated the land from the other burial plots upon his wishes. It was fenced off with beautiful golden rose designed fences and a small gate. There were red roses planted along the fence line. This was the honorable thing to do for his beloved, he wanted it to be as beautiful as she was . He knew she deserved a respectful send off to the arms of the Lord. Patrick Walters denied him the right of using the family burial garden. He never did accept Annie in life and now definitely not in death. Annie had no family except Peter and their daughter. The Walters family attended as a gesture for their image in the public eye. They knew that this was the current news on television and the paper. All the servants huddled at the far end. Martha craddled Adrianna in her arms under her large black umbrella held up by Russell. They all wept. Annie was loved. She always treated th
Annie was laid to rest. Everyone returned home. Peter returned to his study to drown his sorrows with a bottle of whiskey. Martha took Adrianna to her room.It was 6pm and the house was silent. Suddenly a loud knock on the door startled Mr Russell. He peeped through the looking glass on the door and sees old Mr and Mrs Walters. He quickly opens the door and welcomes them in, escorting them to the large sitting room. They sat on the large grey and red L shaped couch. It was italian style, soft and very comfortable. They looked around while they waited. The room was designed beautifully. Annie had designed it herself, red and grey curtains. Her paintings hung on the wall. Throughout the house were Annie's paintings. All were unique like her, beautiful and elegant. They massive 85 inch flat screen was mounted above their electric fire place. And a small glass coffee table was in front of them, letters lay unopen on it.Old Mrs Walters instructed Russell to colle
