The most awaited day has finally arrived for the one of the richest and well known families in England that includes strengthening their bond and legacy from another part of the family

Marriage...

"Mrs. Jones the carriage is ready..." The butler said standing beside the humungous desinged doorway lowering his body as he waited for the Jones to come out, Mrs. Mel Jones, the owner of the Mansion was the first to step outside from the door, she smiled as soon as she felt the butler's presence

"Thank you Richard...We'll be going now.." Mel replied kindly, nodding her head before going towards the carriage, Richard instantly whipped his head inside the mansion greeting the other person following Mel's footseps with scowl and complaints written all over her face

"Goodluck at the party Ms. Coraline Jones.." Richard nod at the young lady staring at him

Coraline coughed "Thank you, but I prefer if you haven't said Goodluck at all Richard..." she whispered and the butler laughed at the comment

"Oh dear, you really hated going at those kinds of things haven't you?" Richard chuckled referring to the grand party that they were especially invited with

"I hate that I have to wear this dreadful dress..." Coraline grabbed her teal colored dress as she groaned frustratingly, Richard continued to laughed at his lady's quirky behaviour when Mel perked her head inside the carriage to call her daughter

"CORALINE!" she yelled in demand with an impatient look "GET IN THE CARRIAGE. NOW. Or we will be late.."

Shooking her head in defeat, Coraline plopped her dress down and walked lazy towards her mother, Richard waved his hand as soon as the coachman drove the carriage









     The carriage travelled across the streets of London towards the  Mel stared at her daughter from head to toe silently watching the outside view in boredom

"You look lovely dear..." she smiled at her just as Coraline turned her head to face her with a questioning look

"I thought you're going to say horrible..." she replied in disbelief

"Though I knew you do not wear in proper.." Mel shooked head and pulled her daughter's skirt upwards, revealing her golden riding boots, Mel raised her brow in displeasure

"They're not going to look at my feet either way.." Coraline replied pulling her skirt away

Mel frowned and scolded her "but still, you are a lady..."

"I would rather fear for getting my feet dirty than this silly old rag mother.." she daughter retorted back but Mel kept her compose intact, she breathe and closed her eyes, Coraline knew what was up to

Here goes the lecture again....

From the mansion and from the carriage...

Just great...

"You are the daughter of the Jones family Coraline, a fine educated lady with a dignity to keep her family's reputation clean and precise, one wrong move could cause us a scene that it could also cause a disgrace to our family..." Mel cleared her thoughts with a stoic impression "Your father would have said the same thing if he was here..."

Coraline shook her head in disagreement and slouched on her chair with groan, not wanting to hear anymore words coming out from her mother's mouth, she glared outside the window again

"Father undertsands me more than anyone Mother..it doesn't matter now, he's already gone..." her face drastically dropped in sadness averting her mother's gaze, her eyes caught a glance towards the grassy meadows and smiled as she remembered those precious times she's been with her father, how they would gallop with their horses from the wide meadows all day long, racing towards the blue lake and having picnic from trees....
