Whitney

After all these years, I was finally in NEW YORK closer than ever to my objective.

I had one day left before the appointment with the Wilson family, I had to relax If I didn't want to evoke any suspicion. Therefore I decided to go out shopping, it is known as my best way to calm down my anxiety.

After breakfast with mama, I informed her I had to go shopping during the day, and she agreed spontaneously knowing it will do me great good.

"You know me too well mom," I said smirking at her. She smiled me back and I went upstairs to get ready for my going out, Jelena was preparing my bath, she bowed to me and left the room when I entered for showering.

After an hour left, I was ready to go.

I called Nelson our butler to drive me through the town, we had neither a notion nor any knowledge about places in the city, I then Google it.

We drove to the most prestigious shop in the town "MABLE JEWELRY". Nelson parked the car in the air reserved for it and we walked to enter and were astonished by the CLOSED at the entrance.

"Oh! shit! how can a store like this be closed at this hour of the day?" I asked with perplexity to Nelson. He found nothing else to say than a shrug. We turned back and were ready to return to the car when a young man with the appearance of a waiter called us, apologized, and explained that the shop was rented by somebody for his shopping and that his time was almost over, he then exhorted us to wait a while.

By the time he was speaking, the bell at the door rang, and the guest came out. A very handsome boy with an amiable face, and a charming height, he looked at us he seemed as if he could read into the soul of anybody with his hazel eyes. He was perfect, he was the portrayal of the ancient Greeks' God elegance. He had such power in his look and his manners which gave him a posture of strong confidence.

I stared at him walking closer to us.

Glancing with admiration though without being absurd, he went closer and greeted.

"Afternoon," said he, with a husk however a very amiable tone.

"Afternoon" we responded as amiably as he was with us.

"Excuse for the disagreement I gave, by renting the shop for my purchase, hope you hadn't waited too long" he apologized in such a manner that nobody could resist. He was breathtaking.

"No, don't bother, you are welcome" I replied softly with a little smile on my face. He was by all means what a gentleman ought to be with such a good attitude.

"My name is Addams," he said stretching his hand to greet.

"I am Whitney" I responded greeting him back with the hand.

After this presentation, he left, telling me his hopes to have another occasion to meet me again on the most appropriate occasion.

At his utterance, I found nothing else to do than give him a cute smirk with total composure of mind, after what, he went, entered his Lamborghini, and after a while, he was out of our seeing.

I didn't understand what had happened, I was stunned by this man. I couldn't understand why, not because of his beauty it is true he is the most handsome man I have ever seen though that wasn't the matter, he had something peculiarly charming and dominant which I couldn't grasp.

After a few moments of thought, I recovered my senses and I pull off this moment out of my head, this was not my goal in my life, there was no place for such a feeling in my heart.

Two hours later, we were at home and all was good for tomorrow's meeting.

I found Mrs. Lucas reading some documents about the contract. I owed her everything, she was not just playing my mother's and father's role but she was also my mentor in business making, and she taught me all I know.

After a formal greeting to know how each of us was doing, I went upstairs to rest, the day was tiresome; Nelson had already kept on my errands.

Asleep the day passed quickly, Jelena came and woke me up for the dinner, and I took a bath before going downstairs.

"Evening mam," said I

"Evening my dear," she responded, "How was your day?" added she.

"FINE" I cried without wanting to talk about the awkward meeting of the day, I wanted it to remain meaningless for me.

"ALRIGHT", she continued "tomorrow will be the day to face your evil" she expressed with more composure than the event required.

"I want you to remain calm, all our plans depend on your ability to stay cool-headed," said she with an advising mood.

"I know it, mom, don't worry," said I to comfort her. After dinner, I went upstairs again to my chamber, lying on the bed I made a recollection of all I lived here with my parents, I could see them in every part of the house always smiling at me. Tears filled my cheeks while thinking of them, and after a moment lost in my thoughts, I fell asleep.

The day of the meeting was there, it was just now a matter of hours.

"Be intrepid with them" said, mama at the breakfast.

"I can't love anybody of this f**cking family" I replied with a placid countenance, sipping my juice.

"We have to be at the meeting at 6 p.m., try to be ready at that time," she said and went out.

there were some documents in the tables related to the business, so I took them up and started studying them. The business was fond of the exploitation of gold mines, and a lot of capital was required for it I could understand why this asshole was looking for a partner.

It took me a while to read and understand it thoroughly.

After the reading, I glanced at the watch, and I had just two hours left.

"Jelena" I cried out.

"Yes madam" she responded, after a minute she was in front of me, she bowed and asked,

"How can I help you, madam?".

"Go and prepare my bath, please and after it, you will help me with my hair. we have an important meeting tonight" I explained.

"Alright madam," she said and went upstairs to prepare the shower. After ten minutes, she called to prevent me from it being available.

Jelena was a sweetheart, true she was our maid though she did her with love and such a tenderness of heart.

thirty minutes passed over, and I had finished with the shower, Jelena came in to arrange my hair and help me to put on a small makeup.

After a half hour, it was done I take an instant to look at my appearance in the glass.

I found myself very gorgeous, my hair was arranged with bangs in the front not too heavy complement, with the curls on the side which allowed a view of my diamond earrings. The gown was a black floor-length made with a soft substance, open on my back, and sleeveless, and I wore it with a pair of black heels and added a necklace made for the earrings.

"You are amazingly gorgeous madam," said Jelena breaking the silence of the room.

"thank you, my love" I responded with a gentle smile at her, and she left the hall.

I took my clutch bag which matched perfectly with my necklace, I went downstairs finding that mom was already waiting for me, sitting on the sofa. She was wearing an amazing long sleeve and a gray gown that was in harmony with her grizzled hair, and she added a heel not too short but long enough to allow her to walk easily.

"You are handsome mommy," I said smirking.

"Thank you, my dear. Move on let us be at the time for the meeting" she said hastily, we had just forty minutes left and the meeting is thirty minutes drive from our mansion.

We left immediately, driving by our butler, the town was amazingly beautiful by the seeing.

I was calm, not anxious at all, maybe because I had Mrs. Lucas on my side, however, 'I have to be strong if I want to avenge my parents ' I repeated to myself.

After exactly thirty minutes of road, we were at the entrance, I took a deep breath and with total calmness of mind, I was ready to face them.
