Aliana's Pov
I boarded on the plane.
*sigh*
I never thought I have to go back again in any circumstance.
I still could remember the day I first saw Him. A boy just hit his puberty. Within so many boys he was shining like a diamond. The most handsome boy of Cadmion High school.
I was a new student in His school.
I saw Him mocking me with His friends for my different appearance. One of His friends intentionally pushed me on the ground and my belongings all scattered in the ground.
With my teary eyes I saw Him along with the whole school laughing at me. It was as if I was always inferior to Him.
After that I got a crush on Him. Though His taunting and bullying were harsh but still I was a fool for Him.
At that time I was in middle school.
My mother used to be busy with her friends and party. Our condition was good. Though there was nothing called a family dinner but there was enough food and luxury. There were no sorrow within us.
After some years my dad's company suffered a huge loss. We lost almost everything to make up that loss.
Then suddenly one day my dad caught my mom cheating. Dad became alcoholic. Almost every day my parents used to quarrel. As a result my mom asked for divorce from dad and decided to stay with Uncle Ben. He loved her so much but still she betrayed him for money. After that I became dad's last hope. I sometimes saw him crying silently. We father daughter tried our best to live happily.
Then one day my mom forcefully took me away from dad. My dad's health started to deteriorate. Both me and dad was not happy.
Our perfect family broke into thousand pieces.
Then suddenly one day dad went missing. That time I was in college. Helpless, tired of humiliations, I searched for him everywhere but found no clue about him. When I was having most difficult time of my life He along with His family were having fun .
Present
I didn't realised when I already got down from plane and hailed a cab.
I entered Ford's premises after paying the fare of the cab. It a huge mansion. Ford's family mansion spares no effect in showing how rich its owner is. It's one of the largest mansion in this country as it should be. Ford's are multi-billionaire. For many generations they are running their business and one of the most powerful buisness man in Europe and America.
As I read the article last time they are now trying to put a strong hold on Asian market though they already have influence there from before.
I can't understand the reason to grab Asian market when they are already these filthy rich.
All those rich people things donot enter in my middle class brain.
I entered the mansion. As soon as I stepped inside don't know why I was feeling so nervous. May be because I have came back here after six years.
None of the family members are there in the living room. It has been always like this. All are busy with their own schedules.
I thought atleast I would see mom but nope. Even she isn't here.
Looks like she went to shopping with Melissa.
Melissa and His real mother died after one year of giving birth to Melissa. Somewhere I heard she died of ovarian cancer. Bad of her. Even being the queen of Ford Empire she cannot enjoy a happy luxurious life.
Looks like my mom took her place quite smoothly. But when I was still in this country she was treated very badly. Melissa and her brother cannot accept her as their mother who that time was not even married with Uncle Ben.
Don't know what is the recent condition.
In the living room the servants are busy decorating the interiors with flowers.
Different kinds of flowers are lying on the floor. I accidentally put a step on one of the flower. A servant threw a glance at me. Looks like she and others started working here after I left because all old servants know me very well. The only people who treated me with some respect. Don't they say people of same class get along with each other nicely. Maybe that's true in this case.
I took a three sixty degree round in the living room. Looks like the living room is being decorated in Asian wedding style. But why?
Don't they hate Asian people and their culture. Then what the meaning of all these.
The living room was spacious and luxurious. Everything here screams expensive. But this flower decoration made it better. I hate to say but it's really looking beautiful.
I was staring at the grand chandelier which I haven't seen last time. Fuck it must have cost tons of money. May be more than my whole year bonus.
I didn't noticed that small flower crate and bumped into it. I fell down on the floor with a noise.
I was hurt. My eyes were watery. When look at the front I saw a pair of slippers came infront of me. I looked upwards slowly.
There He was infront of me just like the first time I met him. Standing all high and mighty where I was in the dirty floor.
Aiden Ford. My stepbrother,my bully also my crush and fake ex boyfriend.
