My childhood memories kept resurfacing in scattered pieces like someone had my mind and let everything fall out of order
Back then...
"The many countless times have I told you ,Nora ,that attending boarding school is what's best for her ," a man voice echoed faintly in my head .
Listen,Luke this is all we've got we can't just send her that far from here even though we need to ,Nora argued.
A soft knock on the door pulled me out of the memory.
"Come in," I said.
"Young miss Bellord , you're urgently requested downstairs by Sir Bellord," a woman in her early sixties announced .
I sighed ,my father , Luke Bellord,was ambitious , mischievous and always trying to play his cards right.He pretended to be a tough man on the outside ,but inside ..he was someone no one really got to see .l shouldn't say this ,but it's the truth.
Dragging my steps,I walked down the staircase . Before I could even reach the last step , I heard his voice .
"You're finally here ," he said sharply .
I stopped Infront of him unsure of what mood he was in today .
"Okay then , today you're coming with me to to work," he said .
"Why," l asked not bothering to hide my confusion.
"You need to start catching up ",you know am getting older and your mother thinks it's a good idea for you to begin now .
You're trying to say that..
"No," he interrupted firmly."The business needs young blood ." He straightened his suit calmly ." And you're the heiress. It's time.
I swallowed." Father ,can I go another day ? "
" You could, " he said .But I stand by my word .
Yes...I do .
Then be ready in time .My board will be waiting.
And just like that , he turned and disappeared through the doorway
I caught my breath and slowly released it " God ...damn," I mutters under my breath . I'm only seventeen and responsibilities were already crushing down like waves .Who said being an heiress was simple ? Not even the heavens would lie like that.
After a few moments of cursing I accepted my fate . I had to work today . Training to run an estate at seventeen?This was only the beginning
