DILEMMA

PROLOGUE

The whole world was at her feet. Stacey had her own clothing line "staceylicious". It seemed like the whole of Texas wore her clothes and put on her shoes. She walked into a mall with pride and every designer could be traced on her clothing. As she walked in cameras flashed at her if not for the help of her bodyguards she would have been naked.This
paparazzi can be so annoying.This was all she ever dreamt of,to be a designer
like Michael Korts, Victoria Beckham, Louis Vuttion etc She admired them all and today she is like one of them. Her clothing lines had spread through out Texas and all over America. She was very popular overnight and practically every mall sold her clothes and shoes. Just like "Forever 21" H&M" Victoria secret" are shops in malls. She had hers named" Staceylicious".
Stacey kept on smiling to herself until she heard her father shout her name through the speaker. This brought her back to reality.
"Yes,dad".She shouted back through the speaker. What a perfect time to call me! She struggled with her body coming down the stairs. She itched her eye continuously. Her hair was singing to the air.
"Dad you couldn't think of a better time to call me". Her voice was too low and sounded tired.
"What i'm about to say is urgent something that can benefit your future". His voice was determined.
"What is so urgent? that made you wake me up from my sweet sleep in which I was having the sweetest dream ever".Stacey smiled to herself with the memory of the dream. Her eyes went to another direction of the big parlour and she saw her mum whose eyes were red and watery. She hadn't put much attention to her mum when she came in and now she is seeing her mum she could see the urgency of this calling. She was anxious and her breathing rate accelerated. She hoped she hadn't done anything wrong again. This caused her to think of one of things she had done wrong and against their will.What do they know?
"Take a sit princess". Her father said calmly. She could see the fear in his eyes which he had been trying to hide.
"What is wrong?". She sounded eager.She couldn't remember seeing any of her parents this tense before.

"Take a sit princess".Her father moved his hand directing her to a chair
No,i'm not sitting down because somebody is going to tell me what's happening" .Her were wide opened and her breathing rate increased now and then.
"Just sit down first". Her mother finally spoke.
"Okay,I will sit down but someone should tell me what's going on". She finally sat down.Half of her butt was on the chair.
"I want you to take over my company. I have cancer ". Stacey was speechless with her hand over her mouth.
"OMG dad how?".
"I don't know princess I don't know"Her father shoke his head.
"My Doctor advised me to retire if I want to get better. He also said that my cancer is at its early stage and it is advisable I retire at least to get better or probably get out of it".
"Dad you know being the CEO of company is not my direction". Stacey whinned
"Princess I want my lineage to continue the company from where I left it.I don't want any outsider".He ititched his hand together and placed it above his nose.
"But dad..."
"Princess you have to do this at least for me. My father handed the company over to me and I want to go on with the Johnson's" .She could see him crying for help silently. It was written all over his face.
This the hardest decision that I have ever made in my lifetime.
"Dad I need sometime to think about this. It is a little too fast. I just graduated from the university,dad!".
"Okay think it through princess but please do this for me".
Stacey ran upstairs with tears in her eyes. Her tear drops dripped to the floor. A flood of tears gushed out of her eyes.
