On Monday morning, I wake up in a cosy queen-sized bed at my grandparents' house. I look at the alarm clock and sit up in bed. The sun shines into the room, leaving dust floating through it.

I climb out of bed and head straight to the bathroom. I stepped into the shower and quickly saw my hair and body.

After showering, I wrapped a towel around my body and returned to the bedroom. I searched the cupboard in the room for something to wear on my first day back at Parker Inc.

I found a black skirt and a white blouse and put them on. I pulled on stockings and slipped my feet into black heels. Exiting my room, I made my way to the kitchen.

When I entered the room, my grandmother and Grandfather sat at the table. Grandmother looks up from the newspaper and says, "Good morning, Mikayla."

I smile. "Good morning." I look at her. "Are you sure I should go to Parker Inc. today? What if Landon doesn't want me there?"

She places a hand on my arm. "Landon doesn't get a say in who can work at Parker Inc. Besides, he made you sign an agreement and a job was included. I know my Grandson, and he won't back out of this. You're fighting with him like a normal couple would. Soon enough, you'll be back at his house."

I sit at the table. "I don't want to marry Landon on Saturday. It feels too rushed for my liking."

Grandmother smiles. "I agree with you. That's one thing I'm going to talk to Landon about today. Also, I want to know what your interests are. I was thinking about starting a smaller team inside the company, and I want you to run it."

I hug her. "Are you serious?"

She nods. "I've known you since you were 22. Have I ever said something I didn't mean?"

I shake my head. "I want to do something with writing and photography."

Grandmother pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me. "This is a contract for you to work with Landon until the magazine starts next month. I also have the perfect fashion designer for you to work with. She also has models that you can use for the magazine shoots. You will meet her next week."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

One of the cooks brings a plate of food. She places it in front of me. "Do you want orange juice or coffee?"

I look at her. "I can get it."

She shakes her head. "Please, let me get it?"

I sigh. "This is the only time I'll let you get anything for me. I like to do things myself. Can I have a glass of orange juice?"

The woman enters the kitchen and returns with a glass of orange juice. She places it in front of me and walks out of the room.

I take a sip of the orange juice.

After breakfast, I gather my bag and walk to the front door. Grandmother looks up from the couch. "I'll be in the office later. I have to call the Private Investigator to see if he's found anything about your Birth Parents and your daughter."

"Okay, I'll see you there." I turn to her. "Do you have a car I can drive?"

She walks over to the key rack and throws me a set of BMW keys.

I can't believe she's letting me drive a car like this.

I open the door. "Thanks," I say, closing the door and going to the garage. I press the alarm on the car, and the door unlocks.
