Chapter 1
Dear Journal,
After two whole weeks Theresa and Adam are coming back. I don't know why I'm so excited. I'm kind of scared of the feelings I have toward her. Scared? Yes it's true Nicholas Foxworth Crane is scared and of something so beautiful and amazing. Ever since I met her, I have been thinking about her and the odd thing about it is that I just met her and she's driving me crazy. I'm usually the one who does that. Not the other way around.
I hate the idea of my brothers being so happy. Why? Because I hate them. I bet you're wondering why I loathe Ethan and Adam. The reason I hate Ethan is because he always got all the attention from Ivy. He was the golden boy. He would be tucked in every night, and me, well I'd be lucky to at least get a hug. Ethan was the favourite. He was the heir to the Crane throne. When the truth came out about his paternity, Adam was now everybody's favourite. He got everything. Ivy even started paying attention to him but not much as she did for Ethan. Adam always acted nice to me when we were in front of everyone, when people weren't around he would be cruel, mean, nasty and he will brag about being the heir and finally getting mothers attention. Not like I cared anyway but I was really annoyed about it. He's probably going to brag about Theresa. He'll be wasting his time because I just found out that Alistair made him.
He said that Theresa was smart, devious, had lots of potential, that we could never live up to. Maybe he's write. I heard that Theresa used to work at Crane industries that didn't surprise me but I was surprised when she made it to being vice president when she wasn't even a Crane. I then understood why he wanted Adam to marry her. If she ever found out, she'd leave him in a second. I'm not going to tell her.yet.
Sincerely Fox
Dear Journal,
Today was a good and bad day. Let me tell you why it was.
Gwen was throwing Theresa a welcome back party at the mansion. Everyone ran to a place to hide. I just sat there continuing to read my book.
"Fox! Get up and hide or get out!" Yelled Gwen Bennett. I rolled my eyes and left the room. 5 minutes later I heard SURPRISE! WELCOME BACK! I took it as a cue to come back. After everyone greeted them and hugged them I approached them.
"Hello Theresa. I'm so glad that you're back. Hey Adam." I said not keeping my eyes off of Theresa. She was wearing a pink tube top with the matching skirt. She was a vision. Her hair was up in a ponytail that made her look cute.
"I'm so glad to see you too."
"Honey, I'm going to go and talk to Ethan and Hank."
"Take you time." I said giving him a smug smile. He ignored my comment and walked away, leaving Theresa and I alone.
"So how are you Fox?"
"I'm fine. How was the honeymoon?"
"I enjoyed it."
"That's great. May we go somewhere else to talk?"
"Sure. What do you have in mind?"
"Follow me." I took her hand and led her outside, to the garden. We sat down on a bench near by.
"Now that we're alone we can catch up on each other." She started to tell me about herself. She told me about her family, about working at Crane industries, her fashion line, and how she and Adam met. Then I told her about my childhood, how much I loathe me brothers, and everything about my life. I couldn't believe that I just exposed my whole life to her. I felt like I could tell her anything.
"I'm so sorry that you had a bad childhood."
"Don't be. I got used to it."
"No you didn't. You're still hurt by it."
"Why do you think that?"
"I can see it in your eyes."
"Whatever."
"Have you ever considered telling your family how you felt?"
"They would just probably laugh and ignore me even more."
"They can't be that bad."
"Trust me they can"
"I understand why you and your brothers hate each other but if Adam and Ethan can settle their problems and be friends so can you."
"I don't think so. I'm very stubborn."
"I see. I've heard all these stories about you."
"Oh? Let me guess. You heard that I was a selfish, spoiled, playboy"
"Yes but now I can see that they're wrong."
"Why do you think that?"
"I don't think, I know. You're a good person. I can see that"
"It's funny that you and Luis are so much alike."
"We are after all brother and sister. How do you know my brother?"
"He's one of my best friends. When I came to visit he was the only one that cared."
"Nicholas Foxworth Crane! You're the guy"
"What?"
"When I was ivy's assistant, she wanted me to send you this envelope. I accidentally dropped it. I was so mad when I it had was money, not even a card. So I went out and bought you gifts and a happy birthday card."
"That was you?" At Theresa's nod I pulled her into a hug. "Thank you" She sweetly smiled at me making me melt. The calling of Adam interrupted us.
"Theresa! Theresa!"
"Over here"
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to get to know Theresa more so I led her here so we can catch up"
"Great. Grand father wants to talk to you Fox"
"What about?"
"I don't know"
"Why am I not surprised. It was nice talking to you Resa, I hope we can do this again sometime"
"I hope so too."
"Tata" I waved at her and descended my way to my grandfathers office. I opened the door and walked in.
"Well Hello Nicholas"
"Good evening grandfather"
"Let's get to the point. I don't want you near Theresa. Is that clear?"
"Why?"
"I know you're feelings toward her and how you plan to persuade her"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Be in denial if you want but I'm warning you, if you they're marriage, you'd be ruining the Cranes. We need her."
"Not really. You have Julian, Adam, me."
"That's why we need her. She'll be the best addition to this family."
"I see. What makes you think that I'm going to listen to you?"
"If you don't I'll disown. Cut off all the Crane holdings from you"
"Fine. I won't try anything" I lied.
"I knew you would see things my way. Now get out."
"Gladly" I stormed out and made my way back to the party.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it.
