Chapter 1

Adeliena's POV

I turned off my alarm clock and got off my bed to get ready for school, but before I get ready I do what I always do first stand in my window and look out to the backyard. The moment I look out, something took my attention, it was the people decorating the backyard and it looks like we will have a huge party coming up soon. I freshened up and got ready for school; I close the door behind me and went down for breakfast. I entered the dining hall and see mom and dad reading the morning paper and drinking their coffee.

"Morning mom, Morning dad." I then took my seat

They put aside the morning paper and greeted me a good morning. After that Mrs. Jones together with Isa, Cass and Grace entered the dining hall bringing our breakfast. We started eating our breakfast when dad's phone started ringing. He stood up and fixed his suit and tie grabs his phone to check who it was, but all his gestures only meant one thing, it's time to go. I quickly ate my food, put on the last few touches on my outfit then got ready to go grabbing my bag. The moment I went out, mom and dad where waiting for me outside with the limo, I looked around for my normal ride to school which is a Maybach Exelero but it looks like my parents want me to ride with them, mom and dad were both on the phone and gestured for me to get in I got in the limo like they wanted I didn't want to bother them on their calls so I just sat there and decided to read a book and listen to music. Franco, our driver, started to drive. It wasn't a long drive the traffic was minimal and as I closed my book I looked out the window I saw that we pulled up to our stylist's building.

"Oh looks like we're here" Mom said "C'mon sweetie" she continues

I got out of the car together with them and we met our private stylist Rachel.

"Hey Rachel how are you?" Mom greeted as we entered the building.

"Hello Mrs. Heath. I'm good here are the things you might want." She says as she gestures to a clothing rack full of wonderful and colorful evening dresses.

"Thank you." Mom started to browse through the dresses on the clothing rack that was labeled for her. Dad on the other hand had his eyes on the suit that he had chosen.

"Hey love, I got something perfect for you Adeliena." Rachel said as she lead me behind the clothing rack, there it revealed a dress form that has the dress that I instantly fell in love with, it is a very beautiful white dress with intricate gold embroidery on it. She didnt even have to ask me to try it on I was so ready to take it off the dress form. When I finally tried on the dress it fit perfectly, it goes just above my knees. I looked at the mirror and enjoyed the entirety of the dress on me, the softness and the intricate designs on the dress looks so elegant and it made me feel like it was something out of a fairytale, before Rachel could say anything I excitedly say "I like it wait no, I don't just like it I am in love with it, your choices about what I wear to parties always a surprise thank you Rachel."

When I changed back to my clothes and I went to look at what my parents chose, my mom chose an emerald green evening gown that touches the ground, it had a sweetheart sabrina cut on the neckline and fitted her form very well she looked very beautiful and sophisticated and of course my dad was already on his work computer waiting on me and my mother but in the corner of my eyes, I saw he has chosen a suit that's a perfect match to my mom's dress. After that Rachel put what we have chosen in a closet just for us, the closet also included the accessories that we will all use together with shoes. Since we have finished our fitting, we all said our goodbye's to Rachel.

"Oh before I forget here" Mom took out something from her purse and handed it to Rachel. "It's an invitation for the party that we are going to have tomorrow hope you have time to stay for it." Mom gave Rachel a smile and we left the building.

We all got in the limo again. As Franco drove I wondered where we are going next. Then I realized that they'll probably bring me to the office again, normally when they take me to places and not have me attend school in the morning they would just bring me to the office and have me learn more about the business that we have. So it's either at my dad's, Daniel Heath, business or my mom's, Claire Heath, business. My parents both have their own multi-million business, so they are always busy. They always try their best to spend time with me that's why they bring me to the office at times. Of course being an only child makes me feel lonely at times but I always have my two favorite cousins, Bryce Eaton and David Eaton, we always lived close to each other so they always come to visit they ended up treating me like their baby sister so I don't always feel the loneliness. Lately, though they have been busy Bryce Eaton is in medical school with Kristina Valentine the love of his life in Brazil but they sometimes come home to visit. David Eaton on the other hand is a celebrity and he is touring around the world for his and Mae Anne's concert tour, Mae Anne Rich is his life, they like to keep their relationship a secret from the public. The limo started to slow down so I looked out the window and saw we were at my mom's company Sims Inc.

My mom changed her name to Heath but kept her company's name as her maiden name. Dad understood how important the company is to my mom and was just happy that she married him, she was very career driven marriage wasn't in her plans but it all changed when she met my dad, she always said my dad understood her even during the times when she didn't want to be understood. I'd like to have that kind of relationship someday.

My mom and I stayed at her office for awhile. Normally when I'm here, I stay at this private room where I come up with idea's and solutions for the company, sometimes I become my mom's shadow by attending and being a part of important decisions for the company, sometimes I join meetings or go to different branches to check on how that branch is doing with. My mom and dad would sometimes bring me with them on their business trips and since it would sometimes be at places we haven't been or somewhere we like to revisit we often make it as our family trip. In some places though we stay longer than expected, so we own a rest house in that area.

The night of the party came, Rachel Zoe's Assistant went to our house 2 hours early to bring the our clothes for the night, also all the accessories needed. I was about to get ready to do my make-up, when my mom knocked on my door telling me wait for Bianca Smith to do my hair and make-up for the party. After a few minutes Isa knocked on my door telling me that Bianca was waiting for me in the salon. When I walked in the salon, I saw a variety of make up was laid in front of the vanity, I greeted her and sat on the chair. Bianca put my hair up into a sophisticated bun and gave me a light but elegant make-up. Both the hair and make-up went so well with  the dress Rachel picked for me. She gave me simple accessories, and my favorite Christian Louboutin shoes.

I walk down the stairs and saw my mom in her beautiful evening gown with her hair down talking to Rachel Zoe and I look to the other end of the room and saw my dad talking to, I think, the CEO of Wright Holdings inc., I look around and saw some familiar faces when my dad called my name, I went close to him

"This is my Daughter Adeliena Heath, sweetie this is Mr. Hector Wright the CEO of Wright Holdings inc." my dad said, introducing us

"Nice to meet you Mr. Wright" I said extending my hand for a hand shake.

He gladly accepted it "Nice to finally meet you, your dad won't stop talking about you on our meetings, from the moment you were born and every time your birthday is coming up he always have something new to share about you and how you have grown to be." He said with a smile

I smiled back to him, a few minutes later mom walk up to us and told me to go look for my cousins, since they have been asking where I am. I excused myself and walk around the house, I pondered on the decorations they were detailed and sophisticated, Everything looked like it was all planned out
