ZIRAH POV

Covered in flowers from head to toe this was how the people that held most of my heart were.
I watched their faces sobbing quietly realising as they lay lifeless in the coffin that this would now be where they reside for all eternity. I could see a faint smile on their lips which seemed as if they were somewhat still trying to confort me as they used to do.
A voice interrupted my trail of thought pulling me back to reality.
"Milady my apologies for the disturbance but may we take the coffine to the cemetery?"
Says Jonathan the personal butler of my grandparents. He was about the same age as my grandparents who died quite young as they were in their late fifties.
I nodded barely looking away from the coffin. With much caution he lifts the coffin with the help of two young men most probably his sons. As I knew of him having two sons namely Glen and Xyler. I did not have much knowledge about them apart from their due to the fact that Jonathan spoke little of them to my grandparents. I shifted my gaze to follow the coffin and caught a glimpse of the boys.
One was muscular with a firm jaw.
He had marvellous greenish brown eyes,a pointy nose and a small and define mouth with small pink lips. The other boy were quite opposite yet somewhat similar to what i believe is his brother.
He had a normal build,he was neither too slim nor too fat.
He had a button nose,a small and define mouth just like his brother
And a pair of greenish blue eyes which made me think about the ocean.
We made eye contact to only be given the pitiful stare that I was being offered by all the other guests.

2 weeks later....

"Milady Zirah Resterling, you are to be the sole heir of Mr and Mrs Merkel."said the attorney after reading the will left by my grandparents.
Thought rushed into my head as to why I was choosen as the only heir.
"Miss Resterling may I have your attention?"said the attorney with a hint of irritation in his voice which lead me to believe that maybe this wasn't the first time he tried to grasp my attention.
"Sure.."I voiced out a little embarrassed for daydreaming.
"You shall inherit all their possession only when you attain the age of 18. Until then please stay at the mansion of the late Merkels."
"What???"Yelled my mother.
"What do you mean? Is this will even legit? First you want her to inherit everything! Then you plan on giving her the mansion as well!
I'm their daughter how come I am not gaining anything???!"
"Mrs Resterling please understand my position I am not to blame for this. I am merely an attorney and moreover the will was indeed written by the late Merkels and this can be proved very effortlessly."
"Prove it then!"Said my mother while glaring at the attorney.
The attorney simply rose up from his seat and pulled out a laptop connected to the cctv and replayed an old tape of my grandparents signing the will.
"I hope this will be sufficient."
He said before turning to me.
"Please do meet me this Friday to discuss this futher."
Finally we all stood up and exited the office.
