Chapter 1
“Valerie can you hurry up?” It was summer and of course the sun will be out and shining at it’s peak. Mrs John a woman well into her 50s with beautiful long blonde hair with a few strands of grey hair, wore a yellow dress reaching ankle length, shiny, and was a perfect fit for the elderly woman, it was a modest dress that showed only her neck area, which was decorated by a necklace, it was a rose necklace and she wore it elegantly.
She yelled “Valerie we’re going to be late” with a stern voice, Valerie while wearing her famous sage green dress, which was made out of cute pearls and was short and fit her petite body quite nicely, yelled back “I’m coming mom, give me five more minutes”.
She hurriedly wore her dress and her four inches heels with her gold jewelry that was given to her by her dad for graduating as Valedictorian of her set, she took her perfume and applied it, she never leaves the house without putting on some cologne, she had one more look at her self in the mirror and smiled so widely, she took her scarf swiftly and rushed downstairs.
She was careful not to trip as she was wearing heels, when she reached the bottom of the stairs, she was greeted by her mother’s heels which laid on the floor, Mrs John quickly turned, her eyes being fixated onher beautiful daughter with so much contentment in her heart as she gazed upon how elegantly she was looking, her petite body fit right into the dress and she said “turn around” with a shrug look she gently turned and the back of the dress revealed itself.
The dress was a royal blue dress with even pearls, it did more than compliment her eyes it made her absolutely ravishing, her brown hair was left to flow slenderly on her shoulders, she was for a fact beautiful looking lady, she noticed her body staring at her and she cheekily said: “you know I got my looks from you right ?” With a smile on her face, her mother let out a heartfelt laugh and said “Don’t sass me, young lady, now quickly help me put on my heels”, Valerie smiled and helped her mother and in a few seconds it was buckled and they quickly rushed outside when the rest of the family have been waiting for them.
Mr. John who looked anxious spoke out “Where have you both been?, We’re already late” As they both got into the car, Mr. John was wearing a framed lapel tuxedo an ash-colored tuxedo, he was just a little bit older than Mrs. John, he had brown hair but grey hair was quite evident in his hair. He started up the car and started driving.
“You girls look stunning I’m glad I’ve such beautiful women in my life and most especially grateful for the one that gave me my daughters” he looked at his wife sitting beside him and she gave him a wide smile, he went on to say “please Mr. Smith has invited us to have lunch and we all know how uptight he can be” they all nodded in agreement, “All I’m saying is that we can all be in our best behavior and have a lovely lunch”.
Valerie responded ” Dad you’ve got nothing to worry about” and he sighed in relief, Mrs. John turned back and looked at the second daughter ” I hope you heard what your dad said Gwen” She rolled her eyes and said, “It didn’t want to go for this lunch and we all know I just broke up with Steven, why am I being forced to see him?” Steven is her ex-boyfriend, who is also Mr. Smith’s son, her mother answered, “My dear he invited us politely, we couldn’t decline, it’s just a harmless lunch”.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gwen wasn’t exactly thrilled about going to her ex’s place for lunch, she was a average heighted young lady, she was well figured and always appreciated her shape, she has siren eyes with long blonde hair, her original hair color was brown but along the line she dyed it and went blondeand was nicknamed the ‘sultry queen’, she’s popular and well known, there was no doubt she was the prettiest sister amongst the three.
Everyone wanted to date her but she actually dated Steven, they broke up because he was tired of being pushed around by her and he termed her as bossy on that note they ended things on bad terms, Mr John looked at her through the rear view mirror as he was driving and with a mocking smile on his lips he said ” oh please it wasn’t our fault you let go of a good man” and they all giggled at the joke well all of them except Gwen and she just rolled her eyes and kept chatting on her phone.
A couple of minutes passed and they arrived at the gate of the Smith’s and the gate was opened to them, They were all familiar with the place but they couldn’t help but notice a few changes, For example two new cars was added at the parking section of the house and they weren’t shocked the Smith’s were rich enough to afford multiple cars, They parked at a free space and got down of the car and adjusted their clothes.
They were greeted by their butler and he led them the way, Although they were familiar to the building it was just a formality that needed to be followed, When they got to the entrance Mrs john reminded them “now now all smiles people” And they walked in one after the other, Valerie was in awe she admired how dazzling the house was, she grabbed the hand of Carmen and they both smiled at each other, it was such a wonderful house.
The ambiance was quite satisfactory, they were still admiring the house when they were being directed to the dining table, Mrs smith saw them and couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear with a smile stuck on her face she said “Hello and welcome I hope the trip wasn’t too stressful”
Mrs. John replied “Oh my dear it wasn’t stressful one bit”, they all exchanged pleasantries and Steven locked eyes with Gwen he asked if she was good and she walked past him without a reply, he went ahead to greet the rest especially Valerie, He was well familiar with her, they spoke as they walk towards the dining set, They sat down to eat and enjoy the day, it was all going well until they heard unfamiliar approaching footsteps, They all turned towards the entrance of the dining room to see who were the people approaching.
