I walked inside the mansion and I was in awee of the place. This place is beautiful. There was a double sided gas fireplace and an open display cherry wall look through to the atrium beyond it.
The terraced decks offer ocean views, perfect for relaxing. I think I will be liking that spot, I can't believe there's a lake in this estate. This is exactly the place I have to be. Everything is overwhelming and beautiful. I doubt I could finish my tour today cause this place is huge.
The large windows in the living room served as doors to the terrace that allows us to see the front gardens. "Mom I can see you love flowers."
"Yh baby I do. Do you have yellow tulips in your garden? Of course I do those are my favorite.
Me too Mom, I love them soo much. Really it's like we have a lot of things in common. Come let get seated by the lake. "I would love that".
You girls should carry on, I have to finish something in my office. "Sure thing Dad".
Mom and I made our way to the lake. I was welcomed with the scent of fresh flowers. Hmm I just love this. "We took our seats as the maids served as snacks.
Mom I must say I love this place soo much. It's like I'm on a vacation. I just love the serene,the calm effect this place is giving my body. It makes me forget all my problems.
You're right my child, this is exactly what I wanted that's why William bought this property. "How I wish I grew up here,my life would have been different.
I know Baby, what's important is that you're here now. We have to make the best of memories together. I can see my mom is the fun type. We talked about random stuffs as we laughed our hearts out.
"Mom how did you and Dad meet?
You wanna know my story? Aurora nodded.
It's a long story, don't worry I will tell you.
******Thirty years ago*******
Camila, I can't wait any longer. "Oo Kim, please just wait for a few minutes. "And where are you girls going to? Rita intoned.
"Mother we're just going to a party. Liam's friend invited us over. And who is that friend if I may ask? Urhmm It's William Riverson. "Oo I see so you're going for a party at the Riverson residence. Camila came descending the stairs in haste. Why are you still standing here, let's go.
Where do you think you're going wearing that..Rita blurted. Camila was in a short mini skirt and a blue tank top that exposed her stomach. Her lips was filled with the deepest red color. "Come on mother it's a look for a party.
You girls aren't going to that party. The Riverson's are our mortal enemy. "That's between you old folks,why are you trying to brings us into your fight... Camila blurted rolling her eyes.
"You aren't leaving the house and that's final. And as for you Kim, you won't be going out lately. "And why is that?
Because there's a marriage proposal for you. It's from the Brooks. Diana and I decided that you and Charles should get married.
What??? That's nonsense mother,why are you deciding for me. I mean I'm grown enough to decide what is best for me. I don't love Charles we are just friends, don't tell me you mistaken us to be something more?
Yh mother Kim doesn't love Charles she loves Will....Kim was fast to cover Camila's mouth before she spills out the beans. "I don't care..Rita smiled and walked out.
"But Mom" Kim slummed into the couch faustrated.

William you can't imagine how happy I am. My mom spoke to Kim's mom and told her about my feelings for Kim. Bro Kim is going to be my wife.
Yh man I'm happy for you... William gave out a light smile as he embraced Charles slightly. Bro I gotta go, you know how my old man can be atimes. Yh sure bro.
William was going insane, he quickened his steps to his bedroom ignoring the butler's greetings and that of his Mom. Charles was his best friend and he loves him soo much. He was first to fall in love with Kim but with their families everlasting beef he's been hiding it, until he mastered the courage to tell her.
He was jealous of how close Charles was with Kim so he couldn't do anything, he thought Kim had a thing for Charles. So he thought of keeping his feelings to himself but he thought of it well and decided to tell her how he feels about her. She was soo happy the day he confessed because she had been crushing on him since they were little kids. Charles knew this truth but he still persisted in having Kim.
Kim and William had been dating in secret until the day Charles told William his feelings towards Kim. William felt very bad because he also loved Charles soo much, he didn't know what to say or do and between the both of them he knew Charles had a chance in having Kim than him because of the everlasting beef between his family and Kim's family.
He run his hands in his hair as he gulped down the second bottle of hennessy. He got a call and it was from Kim."William my marriage has been arranged. I'm getting married to Charles. I called to tell you and also end our relationship. After saying her last words she hanged up on him.
Good girl, that's it. Now you better burry all those feelings you have for him unless of course you want to see me dead...Rita blurted.
Her youngest daughter Sofia told her about Kim's affair with William. She was shocked and didn't know what to do,she had no other way but to blackmail her daughter. "You will marry Charles and that's final.
Finally the day of the wedding arrived,Kim had a solemn look on her face as she walked down the aisle with her Uncle. She hoped her message reached William and he will be here in time to save her from her marriage.
"If anyone here,has a reason to why this two people shouldn't be put together by holy matrimony should speak up or forever hold to their peace.
"I do"
"The whole congregation turned to the direction of the voice and a smile crept on Kim's face. She removed her veil as tears trickled down her face.
The woman getting married has been taken by me, she's pregnant with my child.
*Gasp* Kim run to embrace William. "I knew you would come".
Charles gritted his teeth as he glared at them.

Wow Mom, what a story. So that child was me right? "No my dear, I lost him. It was a boy, your big brother. Kim wiped her tears as she spoke. "I'm sorry mother,but how did it happen?
There was a party held in this very mansion. I fell down from the stairs. William still have this feeling that someone pushed me. I on the other hand didn't feel anyone pushing me. We checked the footage and that part was deleted.
William changed all the guards and the security system. I always blamed myself for loosing your brother,and it's still hurts. I got complications with my womb because of the fall. I never imagined that I could get pregnant for the second time. You have no idea how happy I was but yet still I lost you.
Mother you've been through a lot,I can't even imagine going through half of what you went through. I wiped the tears from my face and laid my head on my mother's lap.
You should know this my Child, don't loose hope you will certainly have a child of your own. I'm confident about that.
