Breathtaking

 As soon as heaven came down her stepmother Eva stood up and walked up to her while smiling leading her into the sitting room where an old man wearing a red high class robe with gold embroidery on the chest area including the wrists and lower part of the robe sitting there looking high and mighty, while a few unfamiliar maids holding gift like jewelry and other expensive items

when I sat down with Eva sitting besides me still smiling looking closely at the man I found him looking at me up and down seeming to be surprised and I quickly lowered my head as not to look at him anymore then I heard the old man say.

"Eva you keep such a beautiful daughter hide away from me while knowing I'm looking for a wife for my grandson that is not fair is it , your daughter here is beautiful simply amazing " the man said smiling sweetly at me , at that moment I was confused looking for a wife for his grandson ? did he maybe mistake me for ivy ? I asked myself looking confusedly at my stepmother and she smiled at me helpless as she turned to the man and said to him

" I'm sorry too say but you might have made a mistake she's my step daughter heaven , ivy my daughter her elder sister hasn't arrived yet" she said this with un awkward smile on her face

"She's actually your stepdaughter , well I must say she's a beautiful and I want her as my granddaughter in law and that is final.the old man said with a Stern look on his face clearly making a unchangeable decision. what is happening, he wants to make me his grandson's wife? I can't accept this looking at my stepmother she looked back at me with a pleading look on her face I immediately stood up and said " I need to do something please excuse me " with that I turned and walked towards the stairs still a bit clueless about what just happened before I could go up the stairs I heard my stepmother call behind "heaven dear I need to talk to you please follow me to my room okay she said walking up the stairs, as she said I followed her up and into her room and she told me to take a sit besides her .

holding both my hands in hers she looked at me with what seemed like concern and worry .

"heaven I know you think I don't like or care about you but believe it or not I do I care about you a lot all the things I have done to you all this time is actually to make you into a strong and humble woman that your father wants you to be I wanted to make you an good person and to do so I have to treat you the way I do I'm sorry dear this is what your father wanted I was just doing what I had to he wanted you to grow up into a beautiful kind hearted woman and marry into a good family that loves , cares and are wealthy so they can take care of you " she said all this as tears fall down her cheeks , seeing this I raised my hand up to wipe away her tears the I heard her say.

" for your father's sake please grant this one wish of his please get married and help me make your father happy , this is his last wish please heaven please" she said as she cried and sobbed more looking pitiful and helpless I couldn't help but hug her while telling her " Mother please don't cry anymore I.. I.. I'll get married to whoever you want me to just please stop your crying now please I agree to this marriage " I said as tears ran down my face as well and she said slightly smiling at me.

"do you mean it dear , are you willing to get married" "yes I am I agree to the marriage " I said while forcing a smile on my face and she said with happiness vivid in her voice." then let's go down and tell the old man the great news " pulling me up we went down the stairs and back into the sitting room but to my surprise we found another man sitting apposing the old man this man look like he was in his early twenties or so with shoulder length blonde hair and gold like colored eyes above those eyes where blonde colored brows and a perfect nose bridge with pink rose like lips that had a charming smile on them as I was lost in thought I heard the old man say " dear come here and meet my grandson" as he said this the man apposing him stared directly at me and our eyes locked at that very moment , I was stunned this man was handsome infact breathtakingly handsome , he stood up from his sit and walked towards me with a charming smile that made my heart beat faster like drums , he then took my hand in his and kissed my knuckles and still held my hand as he lead me to sit down with him as we sat down he still didn't let go of my hand and he held it it tightly as if afraid I would leave him or something dismissing my thoughts I looked up at the old man and he was still smile brightly for some reason the I heard him say " child do you like , she's just fits the position of the Johnson families daughter in law am I right" then I heard the man besides me speak for the first time "yes grandfather I really like her a lot he said smiling sweetly at , I was actually a bit nervous how could things happen so fast we don't even know each other properly a sigh in ward

just the I heard him say " but we need time to know each other well before we can get married " and the old man said" that's no problem take all the time you need she'll definitely be my granddaughter in law " he said this with a Stern face but quickly changed it replacing it with a sweet smile again ,why does everyone keep smiling all the time I thought to myself and then said I should just keep up with everyone then forcing a smile on my face again. sigh .
