It has been a busy week. I have met many people who wants to sell my clothing line in their shops.
It was Saturday and that evening will be Julia's birthday party. Her party is formal so I'm in my walk in closet looking for something to wear.
"Queenie." Andrea knocked on the door.
"Come in." I said.
She entered my closet. "Are you ready tonight." she asked.
"I am, in more ways than one." I said while searching my wardrobe one by one. Then I picked two type of dress. One that was red knee length tube dress that balloons at the waist down. And one royal blue fit dress that has one off shoulder and accented with sequence beads.
"Okay what do you think?" I face Andrea and hold the two dresses.
Andrea was thinking. "The red dress gives a hot and sexy look. The blue one gives you and elegant and sophisticated look but still has a sexiness in it." she said.
"Then I'll go with the blue one. I need to be elegant but still sexy." I said placing the red dress back.
I walked across the room and took my royal blue heeled sandals and purse with beads.
Andrea was giving me a worried look. I sighed and sit down beside her. I held her hand and leaned on her shoulder. "I know you're worried Andie. But don't worry I will be very careful. I have planned for this day for 4 years. It's time to see my family again." I said.
I here Andrea sighed. "Call me if anything happens. I will be there as fast as a lightning strikes." she said to me.
I smiled. "I'm sure you will." I said.
I unconsciously hold the ring hanging near my heart.

My car arrived at the venue. This is the mansion that dad has been living in after my mom died. It was a huge mansion with a beautiful garden at the front. The way was illuminated with moonlight. I look outside and see pink roses in full bloom. Pink roses are my mom's favorite. 'Why did my dad planted pink roses here?' I thought. When my mom died we left the villa where we lived together. He tried to evade anything that lets him remember my mother, including me. So why is there pink roses here?
I was wearing the blue dress I picked this morning. I wore makeup with blue eyeshadows and light pink lipstick. I have styled my hair in a side ponytail with a blue flower hair ornament.
The car reaches the mansion. Many cars are lined up and guests are coming out one by one. When I looked at them I recognize that they are well known people like politicians and businessmen. People that are in power. Taylor stops the car near the front.
"Ma'am I guess this is the closest that we can get. There are many cars lined up at the entrance." Taylor said.
"It's okay Taylor, I'll get off here." I said.
Taylor exited the car and walked towards my door and opened it. He helped me out.
"Thank you Taylor. I can go from here." I said. Taylor nodded and entered the car.
I see many guests having partners. 'Unfortunately Julia stole my partner for tonight. But no matter I can do without it.' I said to myself.
I gracefully walked from where I was standing to the front door entrance. Once I walked all the other guests stopped and looked at me in awe. I nodded to them as I passed by.
I reached the door and entered. Not far from the entrance I see a middle age couple standing and greeting people. It was my father and stepmother. My heart raced. 'It's time.' I thought to myself.
I calmly walked towards them. My father was very busy greeting people when I got near.
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Williams." I greeted them.
My father was shocked when he heard my voice. He slowly looked at me with wide eyes.
"Roselyn?" dad said. That was my mother's name. Now that I'm a woman I resemble her much more than ever.
"No. Jillian? My sweet baby Jill?" dad said. Tears started to stream from his eyes. He slowly reached for me and hugged me.
I was taken by surprise. I have played many scenarios of what will happen once I meet my father but I never thought of such an affection coming from him.
"My sweet darling baby Jill. You're alive." dad continued.
I felt a prick in my heart. After mom died he was indifferent to me but now he shows this affection. I fight back the tears that's starting to build from my eyes.
"Mr. Williams I'm sorry but I'm not your daughter Jill." I said to him gently.
He pulled me in arms length and looked at me. "No that can't be. I can't be mistaken. I could never mistaken my daughter with anyone else." my dad said as he caressed my cheeks. "My sweet little baby girl."
"Dear you must be mistaken." Victoria said. "This is Queenie Versales. She is the famous fashion designer from Paris."
Dad looked at me gauging every angle of my face. I smiled at him. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Williams." I said.
"We can't let the other guests waiting." Victoria whispered to my father. He was like waking up from a dream and composed himself.
"Ah yes, I'm sorry to delay you." dad smiled at me. "I would love to talk to you later if its okay?"
"Sure sir. I'll be glad to." I said. Then he let me pass thru.
I was far from the entrance by then when my father looked at me.
"James." my dad called his trusted assistant.
"Yes sir?" James approached dad.
Dad whispered to his ear. "I want every information you can get about Queenie Versales. I want the report tomorrow morning at my desk." he ordered.
"Yes sir." James nodded.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
