DEAR DIARY,

PROLOGUE

It had never been part  of the plan to ever start writing a diary, I mean, seriously who still did that? Apparently me. As I grew, I realized it was more practical writing to a motionless and hidden book under my closet, than telling a friend of my secrets only for them to blurt it all out the very next minute! So here I am.  I had been unpacking my clothes after moving into a new house.
You see,grand dad,a very close good friend of mine, had died. In fact, it was already two weeks since his burial. Apparently, grand dad had been a stinking rich old man. U' ve heard of the HallMark Brand? Yep, those were his. Dad had always been grand dad's best son, so it was only natural that he had left dad to inherit his greatest possession, while his  other children inherited the rest of his wealth.

So apparently, dad was the new owner of HallMark companies. So to be near the main company dad saw it best we move out after buying a new mansion. But I highly suspected dad made us move out especially since  our family had bad reputation,and I really mean bad if not worst. You see a family of nine  noisy children was not exactly a good idea in a very quiet neighborhood. We always quarreled with them, be it about the swimming pool, playground, unwanted noice, you name it all and it was probably there. Anyways I should probably start with some introduction. Dad got his first child, or rather, children (triplets) when he was as young as eighteen. And believe it or not, dad and mom are still as tight as ever.Mum' first pregnancy had been easy, her doctor had already informed her they were triplets and so she got them without a really big struggle. Dad, testified, still does, that he'd been the happiest man alive.Two boys, one gal.Lena had been the first followed closely in tow by Max then Rory. Funny thing, the boys looked alike but as of Lena she was simply another gem. Dad had been born to a single struggling mother  way before grand dad took them in  and it was only natural  that he wanted a big family and thus it only took some months before mum was pregnant again. Dad had been a loner,those days, living with his mom only ,in a very small apartment and with literally little to no furniture  to make matters worse. So it was only by chance that his mom should cross paths with the rich man, Chris HallMark, aka grand dad.His mother had not even noticed that Chris was the famous Rich guy owning the HallMark chains, but of course dad had  known him from the very beginning and Chris had had to bribe little dad to keep mum. The two had instantly clicked and it bacame a growing norm to see them hang out on Sundays only that Chris had to hide in enormous clothes to avoid the annoying paparazzi.On one of the fine days, Chris proposed to his mother and since she was as smitten as he was about her,she quickly agreed. Only then had he confessed about his status to her. And instead of a slap, like he'd expected, she had kissed him hard and just like that dad officially became a HallMark . Anyways, back to mum's pregnancy. Her gynecologist had confirmed twins for the second pregnancy_two boys specifically. Dad being dad,had given her an astounding smile, telling her that his jewels were in action. Mum , supposedly, broke into pearls of laughter_I still didn't get that part right_or maybe it was a couple' joke, yes, definitely that.Nine months later , and she gave birth to two healthy boys. They both cried tears of joy until the doctor showed up with a frown, at the door. "Is there something wrong? Something I should know?"Dad had asked.The doctor had rubbed his eyes then,"its okay if you don't want her". Dad and mom had simply glanced at each other then at the doctor.
"There's another coming. It's a she. It's okay if you don't want her."Dad had stood abruptly, probably to confront the doctor. Mum had looked at her belly. It was swollen, but she'd been assured it was the placenta...
"You mean she's pregnant?"Dad had asked giving the doctor his signature look for no nonsense."I simply mean the scan may not have been correct, there were three  not two" To this day dad, is unable to clearly tell who screamed and who didn't.All he is able to recall is that the next second, the doctor had pushed him out of the room with both Alex and Leon in his hands. Three words and dad saw himself out of the room
"Her water broke"
So dad had left the scene, worried, at the same time ecstatic. Two hours later a nurse, came with me. He always says the first time he saw me,he thought he was seeing mum. Ryan Knightly,mum named me, and so I became.
