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. We want to see which one she chooses,” said a paparazzi.
“Oh,” hissed the host. “That folks, have been the hot topic for the past six months.”
“Do you know who she choose?”
“Umm,” said the announcer, sweating. “I’m not sure either.”
“Come on, you got to know who she liked among the Young’s brothers.”
“Sorry, folks, I’m just the announcer, I don’t have any further details than this.”
“The five Young’s are all so handsome and talented. I’m sure whoever she choose is a good fit for her.”
“Yes, the Young’s brothers are quite charming.”
The female fans were all going wild as they couldn’t wait to see the five princes. Even the men who came to support them were all shouting in frantic cheers.
“This grand ball is hosted by none other than the trillionaire Daniel Watson,” said the announcer.
“Oh, wow, look at this place,” said Vicky, adoring the Watson’s mansion. She was gasping as she looked at the ten thousand square feet ballroom.
“It is rather nice,” said Megan.
“Oh!” gasped Vicky.
“What is it?” asked Megan, looking in Vicky’s direction.
“Look at all the detailed decorations of these walls,” said Vicky in excitement.
People were looking at Vicky with an appalled look.
“It’s as if I just walked into a big palace,” continued Vicky admiring the place.
“Mother, please,” said Joshua, trying to lower his mother’s voice.
“Oh, son I’m just so excited.”
Joshua chuckled nervously. “Okay mother, tone down that excitement of yours.”
“I just can’t help it.”
“Mother, you’re embarrassing me right now.”
“Humph, I’m sorry then. But can you just imagine us living in a place like this soon?”
“What?”
“Ah,” sighed Vicky. “As soon as the Watson agree to our contract, we will be standing side by side with him with that business of yours.”
Megan overhearing their conversation sneered wickedly. She said, “I agree. As soon as the Mr. Watson sign the contract with you, you will be the next billionaire, standing next to him.”
Joshua nodded his head in excitement. “I’m ready to see him too.”
“Yes, same here,” said Vicky. Waving to some random people who was actually waving at the people behind her.
“Do you know them?” asked Joshua.
“No. But do I have to?” asked Vicky, looking at her son.
Joshua frowned. “Mother you can’t just be waving at random people.”
“Oh, weren’t they waving at me?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking if you know them.”
“I don’t know. I was just waving to look appropriate and fitting.”
“Isn’t that kind of weird?” asked Joshua, frowning at his mother.
“No. I’m just playing my part.”
“Oh,” said Joshua, laughing at his mother’s bubbling excitement.
Vicky looked around her for familiar faces. Then suddenly she sees someone she knew from high school. “Oh, hi Beatrice,” said Vicky. She was running to see her old classmate.
Beatrice Miller is well known for her famous clothes and fashion designs. She was one of the legendary fashion designers. She is also in charge of many runaway projects and jewelry design. Some of her works are displayed in museums for people all over the world to see and admire.
Beatrice turned around looking for the person calling out her name. She frowned as it was a voice she was itching to hear.
“Oh, Beatrice,” said Vicky, waving her hand at Beatrice.
Beatrice frowned as she saw them. Vicky and Joshua.
“It’s me, Beatrice,” said Vicky.
“Who?” Beatrice pretended not to know her at first.
“Oh, you know me. Stop pretending. I’m Vicky Newsom. My late husband was Jonas MacClare.”
Beatrice then had the widest smile on her face. She then pretended that the memories were flooding back to her. She then said, “Oh, you’re that Vicky.”
“Yes, we used to go to high school together.”
“Yes, we did.” Beatrice was now smiling at her with a wicked intention.
“So, how have you been?”
“I’m doing wonderful.” Beatrice looked at Joshua and the woman next to him, whom she presumed is Megan.
“Beatrice Miller,” thought Joshua. “She’s quite famous and very well known. She’s also very well respected as well. She’s quite reputable,” he continued thinking.
Megan gleamed with excitement as she knew who this woman was. She was her ticket to fame.
Joshua looked at Beatrice and said, “Hello, my name is Joshua.” He reached out his hand to Beatrice.
Beatrice lightly shook his hand.
“Hello, Beatrice. I have heard so much about you,” said Megan. She reached out her hand to Beatrice, but Beatrice didn’t shake her hand. She just looked at Megan with puzzlement.
Megan frowned as to Beatrice and didn’t shake her hand.
“Ehm, this is kind of awkward,” said Vicky.
Joshua’s eyebrows narrowed at Beatrice as she didn’t shake Megan’s hand.
Beatrice looked back at Joshua said, “You’re alright.”
“Pardon?” asked Joshua, in confusion.
“I said you’re alright.” Beatrice folded her arms together. “Although, I would have preferred one of the five princes though.”
“What?” asked Joshua, in even more confusion.
“Nothing,” said Beatrice nonchalantly.
Joshua frowned deepened.
Beatrice leading the way said to Vicky, “Come along now. I got the prefect seats for you,” said Beatrice, ushering them away to a VIP table. “You will get the prefect view from here.”
Vicky was smiling at Joshua and Megan. She whispers, “Let’s do this.”
Joshua found it strange how Beatrice said such weird words to him. He wonders what it was all about.
“Alright, ladies and gentlemen please settle down as we are getting ready to meet our host, Daniel Watson,” said the announcer.
Everyone took their seats.
Vicky was becoming excited as she couldn’t wait any longer. She couldn’t wait to see who the woman that everyone kept talking about. She turned to Beatrice and asked, “Have you see the Watson’s granddaughter yet.”
Beatrice smiled at her and said, “Why do you ask?”
“Oh, I know how famous you are and how close knit you are in the celebrity world. I’m sure you heard rumors or even see her.”
“I have heard and have seen.”
“Oh really?” asked Vicky.
“She is a beautiful woman,” said Beatrice.
“Oh,” gasped Vicky.
“Yes, I heard it from many different resources that she is deemed to be one of the most beautiful women of our century. Not only that but she is extremely wealthy.”
“Oh. I can’t wait to see her,” said Vicky. She clapped her hands excitedly.
“I heard that her beauty is beyond anyone. That’s how she got her title.”
Vicky gasped.
Beatrice chuckled and said, “She have beautiful blue eyes and dark hair is enough to catch any man’s attention.”
“Dark hair? Blue eyes?” asked Joshua.
“Yes,” said Beatrice. “Almost like a black but when she’s in the sun it shines brown, kind of color.”
“Oh,” said Joshua.
“She’s quite lovely they all say.”
“Oh,” said Joshua again.
“Why? Does it sound like someone you know?” asked Beatrice, looking curiously at Joshua.
“No,” said Joshua, shaking his head.
“Oh, if you say so,” said Beatrice.
“Beatrice, I heard that Mr. Watson is extremely protective of her and kept her homeschool most of her life,” said Vicky.
“I guess if that’s what the rumors are saying,” said Beatrice, still smiling at Vicky.
“Oh, I also heard a rumor that his granddaughter went overseas for the past three years that’s why no one have seen her, is that true?” asked Vicky.
Beatrice chuckled almost deviously at Vicky. She wasn’t going to say anything to Vicky. Leaving Vicky in suspense.
Vicky, noticing that she was going overboard with her words backed away into her chair. “I-Ah. I- I thought you knew that part too.”
“One thing I do know for sure is that her grandmother is half Chinese and half Ukraine. That’s why Daniel’s granddaughter have pale skin and blue eyes.”
“Wow, you know so much.”
“Of course, being in the celebrity world, like you said, I have to keep up with news,” answered Beatrice.
Vicky chuckled nervously. “Of course.”
“By the way, I am looking for the prefect model to display my line of clothing next month.
“Oh,” said Vicky. Vicky looked at Megan. She nodded her head at Megan to make a move.
Megan nodded. “Ms. Miller,” said Megan.
“Yes?” asked Beatrice, looking towards Megan.
“Have you found anyone yet?”
“Umm, I have one in mind, but it’s not set in stone yet.”
“Then how about having me come help you out and model for some of your dresses?”
“Oh. Are you interested?” asked Beatrice, titling her head at Megan.
“Yes,” said Megan nodding her head.
Beatrice grinned at Megan and said, “Well, why don’t you come along for the fun.”
Megan was gasping with happiness.
Joshua nearly lost his seat as he heard that the famous Beatrice was going to take Megan in as one of his models.
Vicky was exclaiming out loudly.
Beatrice smiled at them as she was taking in all their excitement. “Just you wait, I got lots of fun and exciting news for all of you,” she thought. “On that day, I am going to rip those smiles off of your faces,” she continued thinking.
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
Joshua came in through the door of his mansion. He sat down on the sofa and tilted his head backward. He was rubbing his inner eyebrows together. He was thinking back to that night. If only he didn’t have done that then maybe then they wouldn’t have turned out like this. They wouldn't been like this. There wouldn't be this string between them. The hatred. The misunderstanding.Joshua sighed at his foolisness. He only did what he did was because he wanted to break away from Emily. He should have done it in a nicer and calmer way instead of forcing her to leave that way. But knowing how much she loved him, he knew that she wouldn’t let him go. If he didn’t use some sort of deceiving ways to conveience her, then she wouldn't be so hurt. Now it’s all coming back to bit him in the ass.“Oh, look, Joshua is back,” said Vicky.Joshua didn’t look at his mother. How disappointed his mother was going to be when she hears he didn’t seal the deal.“Oh, what’s wrong son?” asked Vicky.Joshua sighe
