"All done." The stylist said and I admired my hair and slightly caked up face."Let me get your gown." She went into my walk-in closet while I just admired myself in the mirror. It had been a while since I had actually looked at myself and found myself gorgeous.She helped me into the gown and I hadn't fully taken in the beauty of the dress. It was made of a delicate white fabric that flowed and moved with every step. The neckline was simple and elegant, with a modest V-shape. The sleeves were long and billowy, adding a romantic touch to the dress. The length of the dress slightly grazed the floor."You look gorgeous ma'am." My stylist gushed with sincerity. I thanked her and I looked at the time. It was a few minutes to 8pm and the party was starting at exactly 8. So I quickly grabbed my gold clutch bag and the gift I purchased for Lorena and Darren. I hurried out the room with the stylist adjusting my gown following behind me."Finally." Andrew let out a breath and suddenly covered

NATHAN'S POV. At A Bar Later that night. "My brother." Liam pulled me into an embrace grinning widely at my presence. Kelvin and Jacob dapped me up with our usual handshake we have been doing since young. Liam and Jacob's parents are friends to the family and we all grew up together. Went to the same high-school and college. Kelvin was introduced into the group at high school and was literally the playboy of the group even at 30 was unwilling to settle down. He had the look and aura of an actor which attracted girls to him. Liam was also the same except he had an on and off girlfriend named Riley. What they had was cute but toxic. She was a beautiful young girl from a wealthy family as well and Liam's family adored her. Jacob on the other hand was quite the opposite, he was married with a child and he had a nice and easy going personality which was in contrast to Liam and Kelvin to wild and stubborn behaviors. I loosened my black tie and exhaled deeply. I was exhausted and per

He got down from the car and opened my door for me. He stretched out his hand to help me out of the car and I gladly took it. It wasn't exactly easy walking in these six inch black strappy heels. "Thank you." I stood on my feet and took his arms as we gracefully strolled into the event. People continued to take pictures without hollering due to the fact that Dad was still planning the formal transition of Andrew as the official CEO. So not a lot of people were aware.A glass of champagne was offered and Andrew and I took a glass. The hall was extremely beautiful and extravagant containing a bunch of new CEOs and figures in the Hospitality industry."Let me go say Hi to them. I will be right back.." Andrew spoke in a whisper and I nodded letting him go.A large table was set up for the dinner and a variety of dishes were set up. Vegetables, Snacks, Wines, Delicacies of different sorts, and all."You must be?" A voice broke my attention from the dinner table. I turned around to meet a

LYDIA’S POV.I strutted through the mall, wearing a pair of perfectly fitted jeans and a simple yet white sophisticated top. The classic blue jeans hugged my curves in all the right places, while the top gave me a classic and polished look. As I browsed the stores in search of Lorena who had informed me of a bunch of surprises for me. But now I couldn't reach her since she was picking up my calls.I glanced through a small fast food restaurant but she wasn't still present. Turning around trying to call her again, I was met with a familiar face, Georgia, much to my dismay. She was accompanied by a girl who looked so much like her that it had to be her younger sister for sure. This city felt so small because everywhere I go, I seem to bump into someone I know."Lydia…OMG, are you okay?" Georgia inquired looking at me with worried eyes while holding my arms. Just maybe if I didn't know her better, I would have truly believed that she cared."Sis, she's the ex wife of Nathaniel King who g

NATHAN'S POV.I stood in my office, staring at the document on my desk. It was a list of questions that the head of public relations thought I might be asked in the upcoming press conference. I had spent hours preparing my answers, but there was still a nagging sense of uncertainty. Would I be able to handle the barrage of questions? Would I say the right thing? I checked my phone again, hoping for a message from her. But the screen remained blank, and the silence was deafening."Where is he?" I rolled my eyes at the sound of a familiar voice. Just a second later, Lisa and my mum entered the office with her assistant not too far behind.Lisa excused herself after telling me she tried to announce their presence. "Why aren't you in the suit I picked out? What's with the regular black tie for goodness sake." My mum spoke with frustration laced in her tone, was for sure tired of me and just maybe if I was happy I might have joked about tone and facial expression.I didn't pay her questio
