Emelia’s Point of View.“Please Mia. Your mother needs you just for tomorrow. I promise I will make sure that you don’t get to meet him again. I will get the first flight to look for Eleanor” she pleaded with me, it was the first time I saw my mother being vulnerable like this.I have always known my mother to be an iron lady who doesn’t break down or back out of a fight. I swallowed hard as I shook my head.“I am sorry mu. I don’t think I can do this” I maintained as she looked away from me reluctantly nodding her head.“I love you and I know what this company means to you but I can’t step into someone’s shoes and take over her life. That’s being a fraud” I said to her as she swallowed looking away from me.There was an awkward silence as I stood near her desk waiting for her to say something to me. She was quiet staring out the window like she was helpless and didn’t know what to do.“I am going to go>” I gestured with my hand but she didn’t say anything, I walk out of the room and
Liam’s Point of View “Hey You?” Emma casually said after she got in, my office. “Hey? Manage to set up the meeting with Eleanor?” I questioned her as she nodded her head. “Yes. Done it and you will meet with her this Saturday> I will forward all the details to you” She said as I nodded my head. “Did you manage to find out what kind of person she is?” She asked me as I nodded my head. “Managed to look up a few things about her. Not really the kind of woman I would to be with but can’t change my mind can me?” I said to her monotone as she sighed heavily. “I am sure she is not that bad. I am sure you will like her” She assured me as she stood up from where she was sitting. “Of course” I smirked as she rolled her eyes walking out of the room. I sighed thinking about what I would do to get ready for the meet. Many women don’t want to get married to me because of the rumors surrounding the company and particularly me But it seems to me the Ramirez’s are desperate which is why Emma
Emelia’s Point of View. “Ms. Ramirez, As much as I would love to work with you, I don’t think you have man references I can actually work with.” He said to me as I swallowed hard, just minutes ago he was ready to talk to Eleanor but had no interest with working with me? “Mr. Rodriguez… I can assure you that you won’t be…” I try to convince him but he just checked his watch looking at me. “I am sorry. But I am going to be late for a meeting” He said to me as I nodded my head smiling at myself. “Thank you for your time” I grabbed my things and walked out of the office, How could he waste my time like that? Should I have pretend to be someone else?After leaving the office I decided to go back home, my day was ruined. I needed to sort out my thoughts then go to visit Valerie. I pulled over in the yard making my way inside the house, I stopped in my tracks looking at mum as she stared at the bottle o0f whiskey. When did she start drinking g again? “Mum?” I called out to her as I
Emelia’s Point of View. I turned to Valerie then Liam Anderson who seemed to be in shock when he saw me. I am not a fake person and I was not going to pretend to be someone I am not. That was not the type of life I wanted to live. “I am sorry Val,” I said to her as I held on to my bag heading for the exit. I wanted to run away as fast as my legs could take me but these heels were not helping me at all. “Eleanor!” I heard someone shout my name from behind as I made my way through the crowd. I didn’t want to stop but these drunk people were not helping me at all. I finally managed to make my way out and immediately I was outside I took a breather hoping Liam wasn’t there following me anymore. I squatted on the floor as I buried my face in my hands. I was suddenly feeling hot from all the running. “Shit Mia, what the hell was that?” I heard Val’s voice behind me, she was fuming. I stood up from the ground shaking my head as I looked at her. ‘I can’t do it, Val. I am not my sister
Emelia's Point of View“Good morning” my mother happily said as I pulled over the covers to cover my head. I didn’t have the energy to do this right now.“Emelia. Wake up” she tried to wake me up as I groaned closing my eyes very tight.“Mum, please let me sleep. A few more minutes” I said with a perpetually tired voice to her so that I could at least rest for a few more hours.‘Emelia it’s already 11 am. What time did you sleep?” She asked me as I realized that I am meant to be awake.“Mum! Why didn’t anyone wake me up” I exclaimed as I threw off the covers> Mum moved away from the bed as I quickly rushed to the bathroom to check on my face.“What time is it exactly?” I questioned her“11:13” “What’s wrong?” Mum asked me as I went around the room rushing.“I have a meeting in fifteen minutes' time mum and I will be doing a presentation” I panicked as I brushed my teeth. After I finished, I brushed my hair and then went to get a hair band to tie my hair behind.“Do you want me to
Emelia’s Point of view I stood in front of the restaurant as I sighed heavily afraid of taking a step and getting inside. I looked in the reflective mirror looking at my reflection. I was not Emelia this evening but rather my sister Eleanor. I had longer collarbone wavy brown hair with the highlights, I had done a subtle smokey eye make-up on that I haven’t down in months. I wore a Split V-neck Short Sleeve Midi Length Sheath Dress and I settled for black pumps and a clutch. I walked into the restaurant and walked to the reception area as I looked around wondering where Liam Anderson might be sitting. “Good Evening Ma’am” A gentleman approached me before I could get to the reception. “Good evening” “Your Table is this way” He gestured for me to the right side of the restaurant. The place had an explicitly grand ambiance The restaurant is roomy and dark with stained oak trim and finely carved wooden wrap-around bar to one side The seating on the other side is spaced so that
Emelia’s Point of viewAfter I received the call form mum, I drove as fast as I could to the house. I had just finished doing what she wanted me to do now it was time for me to move on with my life.I arrived home and barged in the house looking for mum. I really hoped she wasn’t drinking. “Mum?” I shouted looking for her as I turned on the light.“”Mum?” I shouted as I went to the bar but she wasn’t there. I looked in the kitchen before heading to her room.“MUM!” I knocked before opening the door and letting myself in, I found she was on the bed sobbing silently.“Mum? What happened?” I questioned her as I sat down on the bed and she sniffed back as she shook her head.“Your sister. She… She...” She stuttered before breaking down again as I swallowed hard wondering what really happened.“I wanted to cancel the fashion show when I spoke to the one organizer it. She said that there’s no refund if we decide to go ahead with cancelling everything” Mum said to me as I nodded my h
Liam’s Point of View.I sat in my home office staring at Emma who insisted that I go on a blind date, something just didn’t sit well with me and having to meet a woman organized for me by my family wasn’t what I expected.“Just meet her. If you don’t like how she looks or…” “Snorts when she laughs, I can walk away right?” I asked her as she furrowed her eyebrows. “Snorting? What’s wrong with someone snorting when they laugh?” She asked me as I shook my head.“Are you asking me that?” I asked her and she shrugged her shoulders.“Liam. This is important. You need to make sure that even if you don’t like her you will pretend to do that. Are we clear?” She emphasized as I nodded my head.“Great! Now let’s get you ready because I have to go somewhere” She said to me as she stood up from the chair grabbing her purse as she made her way out the door.I took a deep breath before following her behind and s he led the way to the bedroom. she went to the bedroom and picked out my suit wit
