A/N: Hello, again! I loved writing Pretty Betty so much, and I had to come back! :) I really want this story to just stand on its own, so I don't really want to give much away about the plotline. I'm hoping you kinda just figure it out on your own. :)
This is just the prologue, so it's very short, but I hope to have chapter 1 up soon.
Disclaimer: Ugly Betty no es mio! :)
Prologue
Once upon a time, there were two feuding kingdoms in the land of York of the New. As long as anyone could remember, the Meade and Suarez families had been at odds with one another—long before their publications companies were created, long before Ignacio Suarez stole Bradford Meade's bride, long before Claire Meade sabotaged Rosa Suarez's Christmas parties (seven times in a row), long before friendship between the two families had ever had a chance.
No one was quite sure what started the animosity between the two prominent families. Some speculated that it was the differences in nationality and culture. Some said Bradford's great-grandfather stole a prestigious position from Ignacio's great-grandfather. Some people said Ignacio and Bradford's ancestors were just ornery men, and they passed their genes onto their children. No matter the reason, the Meades and the Suarezes had been feuding and fighting for decades, if not centuries, and it was just a part of the culture, the way of life, of York of the New.
As the years and decades went by, the two publication moguls had encouraged the animosity, and pranks, competition, spying, bitterness, angry words, and paranoia abounded.
It was to this world that Betty Suarez and Daniel Meade emerged. Daniel grew up doing everything he could to avoid the conflict, spending his time reading, writing, dreaming of a happier, more peaceful world, and doing generally anything he could to stop thinking about the dilemma at hand. Betty grew up, ignoring the drama, keeping her dreams for the future alive. Somehow, she had remained unaffected by the drama, schemes, and hate.
One day in early June, something happened that changed everything.
A/N: Please review! I'm so excited to see what you all think. :)
