When Sophia Adams came back from the UK, she found out that she was betrothed to the one and only, Alexander Queen. He wasn't any ordinary guy, in fact, he is the CEO of the Queen Corporation. When she first saw him, his perfectly defined jaw, his...
I was at the club, drinking all my sorrows away. I do not like the idea me getting married to a stranger.
" The strongest vodka you have, please " I ordered.
As the bartender serve the drink, I took it and drank it in one shot. The bitter and sharp taste makes me wince in disgust but I need it... at least for tonight. I decided to dance after that. Afterall, I am a dancing machine.
The song Baby Boy by Beyonce was blasting. What a great song! I love Beyonce ... she's my queen. I sway my hips according to the beat and did some sexy gestures. I was feeling myself. I felt confident. By then, I can see that many people were staring at me. The girls mostly look jealous while the guys .. you should know.
As I was dancing, I felt someone staring at me. I stopped dancing and my eyes scanned around the room, searching for the source. I looked up at the private area, only reserved for the VIPs. I daren't move, I daren't even breathe, I'm frozen to the spot. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest...duh-duhn, duh-duhn. Deep heavy breathes sound nearby. The hairs on my arms stand to attention, as a militia of chills march down my spine.
I locked gazes with a guy actually not a guy but a man. A very fine specimen I must add. He was slightly frowning, his intense green eyes stared back at me as if I'm is prey. He was slightly smirking. His tousled black hair makes me feel the need to run it over with my hands. I'm confident that God took more time on him. He was sexy and hot beyond words.
The rambunctious blaring of the small alarm clock jarred me out of my peaceful sleep and I jolted up, smashing the snooze button as hard as I possibly could.
Urgh! Who was that man in my dreams! Damn, alarms clocks.
I got off my bed and went to the bathroom. My appearance shocked me when I look in the mirror. My morning hair was like a birds nest. My eyes were rather swollen due to crying. My dry lips were cracking. I got a warm shower and make my way downstairs.
I went to the kitchen and helped my mother serve the dishes. I smiled at my mother, indicating that I'm okay. My brother was nowhere in sight.
" Where is Benjamin?"
" He went out to work darling"
I am sad that his not here with me. I needed some comfort. As we were eating, my father spoked.
" The Queens will be coming here tonight. Please cooperate with me ... it's my wish before I die. Also, I bought a dress for you to wear for dinner. Your mother placed it in your closet. "
I nodded slowly and hesitantly. I should do this for my father after what he has done for me. And maybe, just maybe, Alexander might be the one for me. I asked whether Natalie could come and both my parents agreed. Natalie is like their second daughter after all.
An hour later, Natalie arrived. I hugged her and led her to my room. I spilled everything to her and she was slightly shocked but nonetheless, she thought that I did the correct thing. I also ask if she could help me get ready for tonight and of course, she agreed. Before getting ready, we catch up on what has happened for 3 straight hours.
Natalie put a little amount of makeup on me. She makes my cheeks as if I was slightly blushing. She put on a light pink lipstick which compliments my plump lips. She tied a bun at the back of my hair, letting my fringes fall freely at the front. She took the dress from the closet and make me wear it. The dress is white and backless. It has designs that are very beautiful. She matched my dress with a gold earring, silver clutch and matching pumps.

I must admit that I really look good in it. Natalie is so talented. I did a twirl and felt confident about myself. Natalie compliments herself for making me look like a model. This girl. But then I was feeling down again. Did I make the right choice? Can I do it? Thousands of questions pop in my head.
" Don't worry Sophia... I'm here. You can do this." Natalie said in a sing-song voice
This girl knows how to make me laugh. I took a deep and shaky breath.
I can do this. My name's Sophia Adams and no one can bring me down!
