TILL THIS NIGHT
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is based upon the tale of Romeo and Juliet. Please don't complain about the two characters falling in love too fast, it's what happens in the play. And also, please don't review telling me how similar this story is to Romeo and Juliet, it's supposed to be. I just had to get those notes out, so now, on with the story! I hope you enjoy! : )
_CHAPTER 1_
Our story begins on an ordinary day in the not so ordinary household of the Casulents. Mr. Jacob Casulent is indeed one of the richest people in all of New York city, seeing as he was the son of a Philadelphian steel tycoon. It is tradition, that when one of these rich families has something to celebrate they hold a huge party in their grand ballroom. What better a thing to celebrate than their daughter Julia's 17th birthday?
Julia Casulent was not any normal rich girl, for while she had been given anything her heart desired, she had never turned spoiled. She was a kind and gentle girl whose innocence and grace was that of a swan's. Naturally, such a girl would have an admirer of sorts.
This is where Paul comes in. Paul Corey is a young, wealthy man who has had his eye on Julia for the past year or so, though they have never even met. In fact, he loves her so much that he has asked Mr. And Mrs. Casulent for her hand in marriage. So there was a second reason for having a party, Julia was to meet her soon to be husband, even though she did not know that those were her parents' intentions.
Nurse Appleby, Julia's caretaker since she was a wee baby, gently brushed Julia's thick hair. "My darling, your parents have wanted me to ask you, what type of party do you desire to have?" Julia smiled as her face lit up.
"I would like a costume ball, like the one Margaret Pulitzer hosted last year! It was most wonderful, don't you agree?" Julia said, her eyes widening excitedly. Nurse Appleby nodded and laughed lightly.
"Of course, Julia. I shall go tell your parents at once."
