"Ian what are you doing, are you okay?" Lilly asked. "Yes, I just have something to say." Ian said. "Really? What is it?" Lily asked and Ian brought out a red velvet box. And Lily smiled. "Lily Stark, from the bottom of my heart, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Ian asked. "I didn't know you were this cheeky Ian seriously." Lily smiled. "And thank you, for surprising me. And yes I will marry you. But..." Lily said. "But?" Ian asked his heart in his throat. "If you slide that ring in my finger." Lily said and Ian immediately slid the ring into her fingers and Lily helped him up and he kissed her while the guests applauded. "Congratulations Lily." Lucian smiled as he hugged her. "Thanks Lucian." "Congratulations Lily." Kimberly said hugging her. "Thanks Kimberly." "See, I told you, you can do it." Kimberly said with a smile. "Yeah, thanks." Ian smiled back. Everyone congratulated Lily and Ian till the party came to an end. **** It was Monday m
Anderson sighed at his troublesome best friend. "Well just be you and she would probably fall in love with you." Anderson said. "Okay, does that mean I should try hanging out more with her?" Adrian asked. "Okay, but try not to make it too obvious." Anderson said. "Should I stalk her?" Adrian asked. "Like you haven't been doing that for years." Anderson said rolling his eyes. "I only stalk her on social media okay." Adrian glared back. "Well I guess stalking her in reality wouldn't be too hard then. But don't let her catch you." Anderson reminded. **** Cleopatra and Lunel decided to go visit someone. They walked into the house and the maids welcomed them. "How is he?" Cleopatra asked the doctor. "The same, he's expecting you I guess." The doctor said. Cleopatra and Lunel walked into the room and saw an old man over eighty seated on his bed. "Grandpa." Cleopatra called out. "Princess." Brad Wallace smiled when he saw Cleopatra. "How are you doing today grandpa?"
They finally finished their dinner and Jordan helped old Brad back to his room. It was very lively down the stairs because Isabella, Anderson and Karen were playing and talking really loud. Well Brad Wallace could rest because his room was a bit sound proof. The next morning. Jordan went to check on Brad Wallace before the doctor arrived. "Grandpa." He called out. "Grandpa?" Jordan called out again holding his hands. "No." Jordan sobbed. Cleopatra walked into the room and saw Jordan crying. "What's wrong?" Cleopatra asked. "Grandpa's..." Jordan sobbed and Cleopatra walked towards the lifeless body of Brad. "No! Grandpa!" Cleopatra sobbed. Everyone found out Brad Wallace passed and they had to prepare for a funeral. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Anderson said to Isabella. "What?" Isabella asked "You know I talked about Gran passing?" Anderson said with a sad expression. "It's not your fault. I guess even grandpa knew it too. That he was dying, probably why he
Adonis pecked Sophie on her forehead and decided to go back inside with her and soon he left with his parents. "Mom." Isabella called out. "What is it Bella?" Cleopatra asked. "How are you feeling?" Isabella asked. "I'm just... I'm fine." Cleopatra replied. "You know you can cry in my arms if you want." Isabella said and Cleopatra chuckled lightly. "I'm serious mommy. I know what Gran means to you." Isabella said. "I'm just sad... Jordan and I... Your grandfather was one of the people that raised us. To Jordan he was his father, his mother and also his grandfather. And I was close to grandpa too, I lived with him for a long time before I married your dad." Cleopatra said. "And I told you you can cry in my arms if you want. I'm not Anderson in case you don't feel like crying in front of your son." Isabella said. "Don't be silly." Cleopatra said and Isabella hugged her. "I love you mom." "I love you too sweetie." Cleopatra said. "Come it's time to talk ab
Adonis saw the duo from a far and walked towards them. "Don't worry I'll try my best to come I promise." Sophie said. "Thanks." Leonel forced a smile. "You can always call me and I'll come outside to pick you up." Leonel said. "Why would your guards stop me?" Sophie asked. "Probably. But since you have an invitation they'll let you in." Leonel added. "Hey babe." "Oh hey." Sophie smiled hugging Adonis. "Oh, hi." Adonis said to Leonel "Hello." Leonel replied. "Okay Sophie I'll see you around." Leonel said. "Likewise." Sophie smiled. "What's up with him?" Adonis asked. "Oh nothing much. Let's go grab lunch." Sophie said. "Okay." Adonis nodded with a smile that soon faded. He wondered what Sophie and Leonel discussed that she was keeping from him. **** In Peterson's home his wife was busy ordering the maids around. Her father in-law law and mother in-law arrived a few days ago. She had to make them feel welcomed. So she was preparing a big dinner. "Wher
"Come let's go inside." Leonel said. "Is everyone here a business partner?" Sophie asked. "No, my family is also here. It's my father's birthday remember?" Leonel reminded. "Oh, I see." "Come I'd like to introduce you to my mom and then maybe we can sneak out." Leonel said. "Why don't you want to stay? It's your father's birthday and he's also talking about his business." Sophie said. "Yeah, and such talks are boring." Leonel said rolling his eyes. "Well, I need to get home by ten." Sophie said. "What? Why? But the party is just starting?" Leonel asked. "I'm not leaving now, I'm leaving by ten else dad would surely punish me for disobeying his rules." Sophie said. "That's okay, I wouldn't want you to get punished because of me." Leonel said. Lily saw Leonel from afar and decided to ask Peterson. "Uncle look at Leonel over there, who is that girl with him?" Lily asked. "I'm not entirely sure, I guess we'll find out when Leonel make the introductions."
"I didn't let you finish really? Why would you go to their house?" Adonis asked. "First of all the party isn't held in their house and secondly, it's an official party and birthday party. So yes, stop being paranoid." Sophie said. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to a party in the first place?" Adonis asked. "Must I tell you everything? Besides, it slipped my mind." Sophie said. "I'm sure it did." Adonis said disconnecting the call. "Hello? Hello Adonis are you there?" Sophie asked as she noticed the call was disconnected. "I have to go Leonel." Sophie said. "Are you sure?" Leonel asked. "Yeah, it's two minutes to ten. I should just say my goodbyes to your family. You sure you'd be okay on your own?" Sophie asked. "Yeah, I'll manage. You already helped me endure most part." "I have to go now Mr Stark." Sophie smiled at Peterson. "Oh, but it's still early." Peterson said. "My dad would be upset if I come home a minute past his curfew." "Of course, father's don'
Sophie returned to her room to change her clothes. She was still upset with Adonis and he still hasn't called to apologize. Sophie headed down the stairs and saw her mother and brother waiting. "Where's dad?" She asked. "He would meet us at the mall." "Okay." Sophie nodded with a smile. They got into the car and headed to the mall while Sophie just stared out the window absentmindedly. "Sophie is everything okay?" Charlotte asked. "Yeah, I'm fine mommy." Sophie said. "Your dad said you've been moody since you came back home yesterday did something happen at the party?" Charlotte asked. "No, mom nothing happened, everyone at the party was super nice." Sophie said. "Then did something else happen other than the party?" Charlotte asked. "My boyfriend happened." Sophie replied. "What happened to him?" Charlotte asked. "He's upset I went to the party without informing him." Sophie replied. "Well why didn't you tell him about it? Isn't your boyfriend friends with t
