Angels?

Chapter 3

5 ½ years later:

Today's the day I, and my friends, have been waiting for. We have built our company and are very successful businesswomen. We are all Co-CEO's of our company, each managing a different aspect of it. Our company is called Safe Haven, a safe place for people to go if they are having trouble in their life. We offer counseling services, a spa, a gym, a mini boutique to shop, and many other amenities for our customers. As Kids and Teens, my friends and I went through some tough times and found there was no place for us to just go and feel safe. So we decided to create Save Haven, and we call ourselves the angels of the safe haven.

It took us quite a while for investors to buy our idea, but eventually, we found the right people and our business boomed. We have at least 1 location in every state, we are looking to branch out to worldwide. We are quite rich now and have decided it is high time to find our soulmates.

Over the course of the last few years by listening to our soulmates conversations with each other, we all have more than one soulmate. We have figured out who they all are, by the help of a few friends. We are hosting a party in a few days, a masquerade ball but with a twist. The theme is sin chic, no young kids allowed. At this party, we will be inviting all of our soulmates. They will not know who we are till they get there, we have a little surprise planned. All of our families and close friends will be there to help us.

These past few years have been really tough for us, not being able to talk to our soulmates has been torture. From listening I've figured out they are successful businessmen in Italy, and might I add quite attractive. But my soulmates, well, they forgot about me. For the first year, they would try to talk to me through the link or talk with each other. But after the first year, I heard less and less. Now nothing ever comes, I just assume they just talk to each other in person. I have grown very depressed at the thought of them not wanting me anymore. But in a way, it has made me stronger than I was before.

We are all extremely nervous about the party, but mainly just with anticipation. I'm just afraid that they realized they don't want me anymore. I'm trying to stay positive thought, it's all I can do. It is 3 hours till the party and we are getting dresses. The 7 of us are all wearing red dresses, in different styles and shades. My dress is a satin, A-line, sleeveless dress, with a slit down my right leg reaching just above my knee. The part is, it has pockets! We all tried to pick dresses to match our personalities, I think this one fits mine. I'm paring it with Silver heels, Silver Hoops, and a silver and red mask. My light brown hair is in waves. I think I look fabulous, not to brag.

When it's time to leave, our limo pulls up. We load in and head off to the hotel where the party is at, our guests have already arrived. As soon as we leave the limo, nerves cloud my stomach. I'm used to going to fancy parties and speaking, but this adds so much pressure. Avalon squeezes my hand, giving me silent encouragement. The seven of us are whisked off into a private room, from there we will have our grand entrance.

"I don't think I can do this," Annalise says, her hands shaking. Odette walks over to her and wraps her arms around Annalise. "It will be alright," she says.

"What if they don't want me anymore, I made them wait." Harlow whines, tears in her eyes. Maia grabs her hands and looks her in the eyes. "If someone doesn't want your doll, they are crazy." Maia chuckle and wipes her eyes.

"Come on guys group hug, the day is finally here. We all look fabulous, tonight will go spectacularly. I can feel it. 1...2...3.." Ophelia says linking all of our hands.

"ANGELS!" We all shout in unison and come together. Now I'm ready.
