LYDIA’S POV."Have you made a decision?" My father asked the two of us to sit down for breakfast.Andrew looked at me through the corner of his eye waiting for my reply but I didn't have one."I don't know that, I'm still trying to figure it out but if you want me to work in the company then I guess I have no choice.""No Princess. I want you to be involved in the affairs of the company and know the in and out of everything. So you can finally take your place at the company. Or do you have something else you're interested in?" My father stared at me waiting for a reply. Andrew, who had his eyes on the plate before him, stopped to analyze me.Did I have something else I wanted to do? Nope, I had majored in business so I could work at my father's company. That was my only goal, to make my father proud in all aspects of my life. Luckily for me, he wasn't too hard on me either and he encouraged me all steps of the way."No, there's nothing else I'm interested in. I really do want to work
Lydia's POV: I gathered my things and she flaunted her hands in my face. My eyes almost bulged out of their socket when I saw a diamond ring and I held her hand. "You're getting married?" I squealed in excitement and she nodded frantically with a smile on her face. "Yes, Darren proposed last month." Darren was her on and off boyfriend since college and he always seemed to be a player as he was an athlete. Hearing that he was finally acting right and putting a smile on my best friend's face brought me nothing but joy. We strolled downstairs and she filled me in on how he proposed at Eiffel Tower after her show in Paris. I smiled listening as the driver, Mr Fil, opened the back seat of the black Rolls Royce for us. "That had to be the happiest day of my life." She concluded and I chessed teasing her. "So where to?" Mr Fil asked, looking at us through the glass. ********** We arrived at the spa and I had gotten my nails painted in baby blue and cream. While we were meant to be cat
LYDIA’S POV.I sat in my dad's home office opening a bunch of files and books he had given to me to read about the company. He hadn't told me the position that was waiting for me at the company but he had slightly hinted on the position of the C.F.O. I was a bit giddy at the thought of being the Chief Financial Officer but I cautioned myself. Lorena and I were the same, we stayed delusion. Unlike me, her delusion became true. Tonight was the official engagement party and I had caught a few symptoms of pregnancy on her. Well not few but her constant cravings and nonchalance to eating anywhere without a care in the world. Either it was growth or my suspicions were right."Why was this large amount of money deposited into this account?" I asked myself squinting my eyes to see properly. Was there someone stealing from us? I thought to myself.Our family, The Millers, was prominent in the hospitality industry. We owned chains of famous hotels, restaurants, resorts and recreational center
"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. I sat at my desk, staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the sprawling city below.The bright lights of the city were dazzling, but the view was mine alone, from my perch at the top of the skyscraper. I felt like the king of the world, surveying my domain from my lofty position.I took a sip out of my black coffee which contained about three tea spoons of sugar in order to energize me for the day. I hadn't gotten adequate rest due to the large deal we had just been given.The King Industries was one of the biggest construction companies in the country and being able to attend two contracts on the job of constructing a new mall and a large duplex was appealing. Though it generated lots of revenue and the team was already working on it, I couldn't help but feel unsatisfied. I was following in the footsteps of a great man and I couldn't afford to allow the board members to doubt a single move I make or any proposal I make. So I was quite careful but determined to reta
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
LYDIA’S POV.EARLIER THAT DAY."Let me just finish this." I said to myself sitting Indian style on my soft large queen sized bed tucking my hair to the back of my ear as it was getting in my face. In order to keep my identity a secret which my father had always done since I was a child, in fact the majority of people believed Andrew was my father's only child, I was going to work from home. I was uncertain if my father was going to still grant me a position at the company but nonetheless, he had instructed me to know the in's and out's. So I was going to do just that.I snacked on the cookies Patricia had baked, I strongly believed she was literally cooking and feeding not just because it was her job but also in order to get employed at one of our luxurious restaurants as a chef. And maybe her plans were working.A sound of my phone ringing from the bed stand broke my attention from the pile of documents in front of me. I sighed deeply stretching to pick up my phone, the caller ID r
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
