Hawthorne~ Grayson

Ch 1: I become richer

Edeths' POV:

I was sitting on my bed reading and eating ice-cream, hoping no one would ever disturb me when I got disturbed. I got a call from Avery (Backstory on how they became friends:- Max was their common friend and she wanted both her besties to meet and become besties. They didn't become best friends but they became friends. That was around 2 months ago)

Avery 💖✨🎀

"Hi Ede, you are so unreachable"

"Hi Aves, that's cause maybe I need to recharge me social battery and I need no contact with the real world. But what happened?"

"Where are you right now?"

"Home, duh!"

"Have you ever heard of the Hawthornes, or anyone called Tobias Tattersall Hawthorne?"

"Never heard of them, why?"

I heard a ruckus and then Avery's voice changed.

"Hello. Is this Edeth Rose Cadwas?"

"Yes, and who are you cause you are definitely not Avery"

"Grayson Hawthorne. Ms. Cadwas your name has been mentioned in the final will and testament of Tobias Tattersall Hawthorne and you are requested to come to the Hawthorne House as the reading can not occur without your presence."

"Why would this Tobis guy put my name in his will? Like I don't even know him, people I know probably wouldn't put my name in their wills, are you sure you are correct?"

"I am certain Ms. Cadwas."

"Well send me the location, and I swear if this is a lousy attempt to kidnap me, you are the ones who are gonna end up with broken bones"

After the call ended I was certain that this Grayson guy was a 50 year old dude. I mean who talked in

Which outfit? was the question which I asked myself for the millionth time in the last half an hour, I mean what does one even wear to a will reading? In the end, I decided to wear a white sweater with white pants paired with my pearl earrings.

After about an hour, I reached. I would blame that on my clothes and my ice-cream addiction. I entered the ginormous mansion called The Hawthorne House. Looking at its size I believe 3 football teams live here.

A super gorgeous girl welcomed, she had mid-length brown hair and brown skin and introduced herself as Alisa Ortega, one of the lawyers. I repeat One of the lawyers. How many lawyers did this dead uncle have?

We entered a living room-like room and gosh it was so big. It had two whole chandeliers and a fountain-like structure.

I saw Avery talking to Libby and immediately went over to them and hugged them.

"Hi!!! I am so glad you are alright" I said while hugging Avery.
"Why would I not be alright?"
"Because somebody stole your phone and I was afraid they might have hurt you!" At this, the three of us started laughing.

Then a pretty cute, blond guy came towards me. He looked like a descendant of a Greek god or something. Don't stare! I scolded myself internally.

"You must be Ms. Cadwas. Nice to meet you."
"Yes, that is me. And you are?"
"Grayson Hawthorne."
"The fuck, you are definitely not 50."
