A/N: @daydreamademoiselle, here it is the chapter you've been waiting for. Happy reading! :D

Colleen Stephan Edwards (born June 27, 1997) is an English socialite, model, philanthropist, piano prodigy, and heiress to the Diamond Empire, Rio Ravensdale's business empire. She is also the daughter of Franz Edwards, founder of Wish Hotels. She is well-known in establishing Wish Foundation, an organization that facilitates social programs and outreach to the public.

Edwards was born in London and is the daughter of Franz Edwards and Nadine Ravensdale-Edwards. Her grandmother is fashion designer and entrepreneur, Lolita Ravensdale. Edwards' ancestry includes Spanish, Greek, English, and American. Her mother died due to heart failure when she was six years old.

Little is known about the Edwards' personal life. After multiple attempts on kidnapping her daughter, Franz Edwards decided to be strictly private about their life, only disclosing information about the business.

Edwards is rumoured to be attending school somewhere in Isle City and is rumoured to be currently dating publishing heir, Timothy Hearst.

"You're dating somebody?!" exclaimed Alexei as he finished reading my Wikipedia page (he complimented my picture on the side).

"Do you know how to read?" I replied, rolling my eyes. "Because I heard you say the word 'rumoured' and besides that's a Wikipedia page. Anyone can edit it."

Alexei used his ten-million-dollar date card last night, asking me to go on a date with him the next day and I obliged without complaint.

We've toured some of Paris' sights earlier, visiting the Louvre, the Notre Dame Cathedral - where Alexei made a fool of us by singing and calling me Esmeralda which confused me - and the Catacombs of Paris which I've always wanted to go to. Then, I forced Alexei to raid the streets of Paris for patisseries to buy assorted pastries like macarons, croissants, and freshly-baked puff pastries and chocolatiers to purchase boxes of chocolates to bring home. Then we got back to my grandparents' villa, where my grandmother practically dragged me in my room to change to a dress then shooed us to eat dinner outside.

And now, we're on the top of the Eiffel tower, which my grandmother decided to rent out for the whole night. She told me earlier that it's her congratulatory gift for me for snatching 'such a gorgeous amore' like Alexei before forcing me into one of her designed vintage dresses - which Alexei said made me look like Nancy Drew (whoever she is).

We're trying to finish our desserts, a lemon soufflé for Alexei and a blueberry soup with mascarpone and multi-flavored gelato for me (yes, I eat a lot and I was a moaning mess while savouring the flavors but whatever), while gazing below at the City of Lights. Alexei brought out his friendship booklet so we had something to do; hence, him searching for information about me in the internet because it literally was instructed in the booklet to 'google' your partner.
