Emerald
Emerald’s POV
The party’s in full swing. My family are happy. Today mum and dad are giving me and and my siblings a position in each company of Black Empire.
“C’mon Emerald dad’s giving a speech we need to be on stage.” My sister Evelyn said to me.
“Okay coming.” I reply.
Making my way towards the day mum and dad standing there with proud faces. In front of every guest present here tonight and all the media.
“I would like to thank everyone for being here tonight. Thank you for being apart of our new milestone. I wont take much of your time everyone so I’ll begin. My son Ethan. I am appointing him to our architecture company Mirrou Empire.
Everyone is cheering we’re all clapping I feel so proud for my family right now.
“And last but not least my only daughter who I’ll be handing Rebelle Empire for fashion design. Give a round of applause for Evelyn.”
Everyone is clapping, smiling and looking at me. While the smile slowly wipes off my face and leaves me confused. I’m looking at everyone and the media. I’m dumbfounded, I’m shocked. What did he just say? Only daughter. What’s going on?
“Thank you everyone. Enjoy the drinks and food.”
I follow my family off the stage full of questions. Everyone staring at me while I make my way down. I want to cry but I don’t know what the fuck is going on.
“Dad. What do you mean only daughter? Am I not your daughter aswell. What’s going on dad?” I ask for answers and my family are all giving me smug looks dirty smirks as if they planned this. As if the planned to humiliate me in front of the entire nation.
“From as of right now Emerald you are no longer part of this family. We don’t want a spoilt little moaning bitch like you. We’ve gathered all your belongings and the butler placed them all outside.” My mum says to me.
“You’re of no use to us anymore Emerald. Now take your shit and FUCK OFF!” That was dad. I didn’t know they hate me to this extent. How is this possible? Where did we go wrong?
“Oh yeah and sis. Me and Braxton are engaged. We’ve been together for a while now but that’s no problem for you now is it?” My twin sister, my other half of me. I never knew she hated me this much to steal my fiancé from me.
“Oh baby sis don’t cry. We only needed you to help us gain a foothold in dad’s company and throw you away. We needed the media to show the whole nation who you are so that nobody will hire you if you ever go looking for a job, hahahahaha.” My brother, the one who always protected me because I’m the baby of this family. I never knew how much they despised me.
“Well okay then. Goodbye.” Thats all I say before I leave and not turning back to the ones who I thought I could trust. My family, my own flesh and blood.
“Well I’ll need to find me somewhere to stay for a while before I figure myself out.” I mumble to myself. As I’m walking out the banquet hall, I walk the busy streets here in Bronx tryna keep my head held high. I stumble upon a bar and it had vacant rooms.
I step inside and scan my surroundings. This place is quite busy. But I’m only here for a room. I walk forward until I see a man at the bar alone. He has such dirty ripped clothes which look very old and tacky. His shoes don’t even look like shoes anymore. But that’s not what got my attention, his back. The most broadest shoulders I have ever seen. He looks like he works out. I’m captivated. Mesmerised even. I don’t even care what he’s wearing or the facial hair he’s got that looks like a mane. No. He’s got an aura of an emperor, a king. My king. Mine.
I drag my suitcase case along with me and make my way towards him. When I get there, one look into those gorgeous grey eyes and I know. I want him. I want him now.
