REDEMPTION (Book 1, Redemption Series)

Chapter 14: Welcome to Gardenia

Third person's POV.

Everything seemed right in the world at that moment as Jonathan walked out of his business meeting with a huge smile, and his bodyguard \driver said...

''I reckoned it was a success, Sir?'' Jonathan got into the rented sports car as he undid his tie and sighed in contentment.

''Better than I'd hoped, Lance.'' The man smiled happily after hearing his boss's answer. A win for their boss is a win for all of them.

''How are we doing on the clock, Lance?'' Came Jonathan's voice a moment later.

''We'll be in Gardenia by nightfall if we leave now, Sir,'' His bodyguard said while looking at his wristwatch watch, and he nodded with a smile before saying...

''Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get going then; Gardenia awaits us''

There are a few moments when Jonathan lets his guard down, and when that happens, he's very enthusiastic about the littlest things, which makes everyone's job around him easier. In those moments, he's the happiest man. He would smile and say thank you whenever things were done to his satisfaction. That can't be said about times when he's having a bad day, unfortunately.

Amirah's head was so deep into her walk-in closet that she had to stretch her neck out when her friend's voice said...

''What about this one?'' She rolled her eyes.

''We're going sightseeing around the kingdom Bella, not visiting my ancestral museum''

The dress Isabella was holding would have been any other woman's first choice of outfit because of its elegant, jaw-dropping, and classy look that probably cost a lot of fortune, but I guess when it comes to Amirah, the first female Queen of Gardenia, eyes have not seen and ears have not heard.

''If you're having this much issue just to pick out what to wear now how will you decide on what to wear for the ball?''

Isabella asked with a sigh while dropping on the incredibly soft king-sized bed in Amirah's room.

''I already know what I'm wearing, Bella; Jonathan made a dress for me.''

Of course, he made a dress for her; it's not as if this would be the first time.

''I don't get it, though; why not get people who can do it for you? Isn't that what all royals do?'' Amirah shuffled out of her closet with a dress of her choice while sitting beside Isabella before saying.

''Jonathan is the only one who decides what I wear for important events but every other time I dress myself, it's as simple as that." Isabella is in awe of Amirah and Jonathan's relationship; to trust someone to an extent where their words hold so much power in your life is something she's never tried with a human being.

____________________________________________

It's currently the evening of day one out of two days since Jonathan left town for a business trip, leaving his siblings with his employees. The siblings are currently in the sitting room of the penthouse catching up on their school work when the doorbell went off and both siblings gazed at each other before Emily looks at the young man she's been ignoring the whole day and he springs up muttering ''I'll get it'' while scrambling towards the door as Mrs. Billson came out of the kitchen wiping her hands with a rag and asked...

''Was that the doorbell?'' and Emily nods with a little smile saying...

''Lyon said he will get it.'' The older woman returned her smile with a nod before disappearing into the kitchen again.

''So it was a bit difficult, but I got everything on the list,'' Grace said with a smile while tapping on the little sheet of paper Emily had given to her this morning when she dropped by to check on them.

''Really?''

Exclaimed the young girl as she leaped to her feet and took hold of the paper bag containing the items she requested.

''To be honest, I didn't think you'd find any of it,''

Grace laughed while shrugging off her handbag before saying...

''It's easy to find these kinds of things when you're a mother, dear.'' Emily was overjoyed as she hugged the older woman and said.

''Thank you so much!''

Grace is a bit surprised by the girl's reaction but she composed herself as she replied...

''You're welcome, sweetheart''

Emily and PJ missed an entire week of school because of them moving in with their brother and settling into their new home which was fun at first but being absent from school meant double work and now she's presented with chemicals she doesn't even know how to pronounce as ingredients for scented candles for her home economics assignment which is due come Monday.
