Her mother was a working woman. She worked in her father's company. She was one of the co-founders of the company. She originated from a wealthy family. She was her father's classmate at university.
They were in the same department. They met through others. Her father was not wealthy but he studied at the best college in the country through his scholarship and talent. And even though he was not rich, his family was middle class and he was a single child. He was not poor.
So his family took care of his other expenses and he did do them proud in the end. Lucas's best friend befriended Halsey's best friend. Lucas was the topper and Hasley was in the top ten. They knew a little about each other but not much.
That was their first proper meeting. Then they were grouped together for a project. Then they become friends and that's how their story started. After his father graduated, he struggled to open his own company.
Halsey wanted to help him. She had a lot of money. When the other two friends of them said that they wanted to invest too, he again rejected them. But then they said that they are not doing it for free. They really believed in him. He was sure to become a big man and they would loot him when the time comes.
Lucas still wanted to be fair. He took the basic amount needed to start his business and gave them shares in return. Now, his friends truly benefited from him. They were glad to meet him. He was a great person.
Later, Lucas and Halsey quickly became a couple. They already liked each other secretly. Then after Lucas's company get stabilised, he proposed to Halsey. They married. At that time, Lucas was still far from Halsey's family.
Halsey was born with a golden spoon. She was the second generation. They were one of the richest in the country. At first, Halsey's family wasn't sure about her marrying him. So they were neutral about their relationship. They only accepted him when he become the richest through his own efforts.
Then they had Grace when Halsey was 27 and they had Lily 8 years later that was when Halsey was 35 years old. They originally wanted to have one child only. It was because they were very busy with work.
Halsey took a break when she had Halsey and only went back to work after 5 years. But after going back to work, she always felt guilty for not giving enough time to her child.
Lucas felt more like that because he himself didn't get much attention from his parents because they worked hard day and night to keep their family happy and he only met them for dinner. Now many times he couldn't even go home for dinner.
That made him very guilty. He loved Grace a lot. She was his heart. But because of his work, he was never able to give her much time. So they didn't intend to have another child. But then, when Grace was 5 years old, she requested something for the first time. She asked in a very sweet childlike innocent voice after coming from the first day of her school.
" Mamma, Papa, Can you please give me a little sister?"
They were shocked. They felt happy because she asked for something for the first time. They asked her why she suddenly said that and she said.
" My classmate had a cute little sister. She went out in mid-class and came to our class to find her brother. In the end, she stayed with us till the end. Seeing that, I also wanted to have a little sister."
They agreed. After three years, they had another daughter at the request of Grace. Lily was everyone's sweetheart. Moreover, they never had to worry about leaving her alone or not giving her enough time. Because when they were not there, Grace was always there. Grace spent more time with Lily than anyone else.
They wanted to send her abroad to study but she refused because she didn't want to be that far apart from her sister. They still remember how she said seriously.
" I will hate it if I am not able to see her when I miss her." Grace's top priority was Lily.
However, suddenly three and a half years ago, in the middle of her college year, Grace requested them to transfer her. She was a bit strange at that time. Usually, she shares things she doesn't with her mother. But there are some things she doesn't share even with her mother.
No matter how much they asked her, she never told anything. In the end, they worriedly send her off. She didn't even come back in the middle. She said she will only come back after she was done with her studies. Finally, she was back after finishing her studies.
