It was a beautiful night. A midsummer cool, pleasant night. A night were one could gaze at the million stars in the sky and dream of everything their heart desired. A night that could enhance the feeling that everything was possible.Even to be kicked out of the house you grew up in because everything meant even unpleasant things too. Though being kicked out of your house could a blessing in disguise, especially if it didn’t feel like home for a very long time. Tonight it was easier for her to do it. The neighbours had another party tonight. She heard the guests laugh as she walked out of the back entrance of the mansion, dragging her small

Christopher was up early. Earlier than usual. As a child and later as a teenager he loved to sleep till noon. As soon as he graduated from high school, his father decided that it was time for his only son and heir to kick this habit if he was to succeed him in the family business as he called it. Nineteen years old and he had to juggle a very heavy schedule between university, chasing Alyssa, business meetings and boring upper class parties.He made it though. He was perfect. And when he took over the business he tripled the profit and he expanded it, daring what his f

1st memory : Elsa age 12She stopped on her tracks when she heard male voices from the garden. She frowned. ‘This son of theirs must be back’, she thought. She shrugged and she resumed walking. She had seen some photos of him from when he was her age and she was not impressed.

Christopher kept on coming in time for dinner and she kept being cold to him. It's been three years already and the man was stubborn as ever. He still thought he was in love with her and he still tried to charm her, hoping to win back her love.She did not know how to make him see that there was no chance to resurrect the past.

Mrs Lawrence always tried her best to organize the service schedule in a way fair to all her girls. However, it was difficult to do so if half of the girls were unable to collaborate with her on certain things. Sophia, for instance refused to serve when Anthony Brightman was invited as she hated his guts and Rose had the tendency to break things when Oscar Thomson was around, since the man made her ridiculously nervous. That left her with two options: Elsa and Claire.These darling girls would not mind to serve two nights on a row, but Mrs Lawrence felt it would not be right to make them do so. So, she made up her mind and decided to send Rose to serve tonight. She would not risk impulsive Sophia to chop Master Anthony's head off.
