Chapter #1 … "Heart Like A Sad Song"



She paced the floor of her colossal in house bedroom & headed to the mirror to examine her attire. Her golden dress shimmered & her hair was perfect as always. She had her own personal trainer , stylist , secretary & anything else money could possibly by. She also had her own private cottage. Still it was always so lonley for her. Living the life of luxury was pretty much the last thing she wanted. She sat down by her window & looked out at the lavish gardens. Startled she jumped at the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Lila: Miss the party has begun & your presence is being requested.

Sheridan: Yes ofcourse they always wish to show me off like a trophy to the single rich men… I will be there in a moment. Thank you Lila & please call me Sheridan.

Lila: Yes… Sheridan

Lila stepped from the room as Sheridan rose up from where she was seated. She hated having to attend these annoying parties. Her father & brother were always showing her off as a trophy. All her father cared about was making her marry some billionare & he only showed up at the parties to try to push her on someone. That was the only time she saw him was at the parties. She really didn't care though she knew he really had never loved her. He hated having a daughter all he cared about was his precious son. Sheridan stepped from her room & sauntered down the staircase. All eyes were on her as she stepped into the enormous ballroom. Her father approched her with a young gentleman by his side.

Alistair: Sheridan , I would like you to meet Christopher. He is the crowned prince of Poloraski.

Christopher: Hello Sheridan , your father has told me wonderful things about you

Sheridan: I am sure he has… Hello Christopher

Christopher: Would you do me the honor by sharing this dance with me?

Alistair: She would love to.

Sheridan glared at her father as Christopher whisked her away to the dance floor. She faked a smile as the music begin to play. She didn't want to seem rude but , she really wasn't in a dancing mood. After the song ended the two stepped off the dance floor.

Christopher: So Sheridan , Your father tells me you are very interested in politics , who did you vote for this year?

Sheridan: I didn't vote , I'm not really in to politics it's all rigged anyways. The presidential election esp.

Christopher: Oh I see… So then what are your interests?

Sheridan: I am interested in the arts & I'd also love to have children one day & a good family life.

Christopher almost dropped his drink at the sound of the word children.

Christopher: Children? Your already thinking of children?

Sheridan: Yes , I love children.

Christopher: I really don't care for them although I suppose an heir would be nice to have as long as it was a son. A daughter would be out of the question , women are not good at buissness.

Sheridan: What? Excuse me but , a woman can do anything as good as a man & sometimes even better! I must be going…

Sheridan quickly left the room.
