Chapter 17- Comeback

Before leaving the place, I went to a nearby salon and had my hair bleached to black. It kinda suits me.

I called Caspen, my Butler to tell the guards I'm on my way home and that brought the whole place in hysteria and excitement.

Caspen insisted that I'd ride the private jet and I couldn't agree more.

"Good evening Lady Van Harlin, it's a pleasure you've finally showed up after your grandmother left the company in our family's hands."

Caspen was also a third generation of the Balthimore family. He was the grandson of Johnathan Balthimore, the butler of Mattricia Ivanshov.

I've decided to leave the company in his hands because he was a trustworthy person, and he never failed to amaze me.

I've had contact with him until Caspen and told him that when he leaves this world I want Caspen to take over and communicate with my granddaughter, the role I'm playing now.

"Good evening Caspen, I'm glad to finally meet you."

He looked at me astonished.

"You are gorgeous my Lady, just like how my grandfather described Lady Mattricia as an angel who fell from the heavens."

"Don't flatter me too much Caspen, I might believe you." I said as I smiled at him. "You look just like your grandfather."

It's true he was dashing I should say, and he is four years older than me. A prince charming who could make any girl fall head over heels for him, the exact image of what princes look based on the books.

With strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin, plus he has this strong body built which makes him look more handsome every second.

He started discussing the concerns of the company while we were inside the jet and I decided to let him sleep when I saw that it was too late.

The jet has only one room which is intended for me. I saw Caspen sleeping uncomfortably in the couch which barely held his tall frame.

"Caspen, Caspen!" I tried to wake him up but he didn't and I think he's tired from preparing and settling everything for me.

So I decided to carry him instead and settled him in the large bed of my room. I sat on the other side of the bed and started reading the books I had saved, one which was a gift from Selene last Christmas.

I spent the whole night finishing almost five books until the sun came to sight and I figured out that it was morning.

Caspen was still sleeping soundly when the pilot announced that we will arrive in ten minutes.

I went to the window and stared at the beautiful scenery.

Caspen drove the car into the large black gate, the Ivanshov mansion was still standing there with all its glory except that it seems to be new from all the years that had passed. It was newly painted and the damages had been repaired, it was really taken care of by whoever is in charge of the work.

I know that everyone was excited for they will finally meet Lady Ivanella Matreena Van Harlin, the only heir of Lady Mattricia Ivanshov, from the royal Ivanshov family.

"Goodmorming lady Van Harlin!" All the people who works in the house had bowed their heads which kinda surprised me, there were a lot of them.

"It's nice to see all of you here." I said as I smiled at them then made my way to my room.

"This is your room my lady." He gestured me on another room.

"No, I prefer this room, thanks!" I told Caspen and entered my password.
