Author's Note: Thanks guys for giving my story such erm...great reviews. I'll try my best to make this story interesting. To let you know I listen to classical music but I really don't know anything about music except certain famous musicians like, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Chopin.
Thanks also to Dark Nadeshiko for pointing out my mistake. Here's the reviewed story. I'll try to look out for similar mistakes in my other stories.

Chapter Two
"Albert, I'm going for an appointment with Lady Dupont. I shall be back later this evening. Please see that everything is in order before I get home. Do I make myself clear?" ordered Lady Jones to her butler. She was recently widowed after the death of her husband, Lord Jones from his three-year battle with lung cancer. He left behind all his possessions to his wife. They had no children to succeed his land and title. Three months after his death, she sold their old house and moved to this new mansion to start over a new life. She knew that he would want that after all, she was still young, being only thirty-three years old.
"Perfectly clear my lady. All is well." Answered Albert. He had served the Joneses for many years and knew perfectly well that they do not tolerate disobedience from the servants. He too had been sadden by the death of his master whom he had served for so long.
"Artemis my dear, be a good girl okay? Then I'll bring you to the Classical Music Fest next month as your birthday treat." Said Lady Jones as she kissed Artemis on the cheek before driving off in her car.
Artemis Kings is not Lady Jones' daughter though most people thought she was. She's her niece, daughter of her beloved dead sister and brother- in-law, Chantal and Laurence Kings. They both died when Artemis was eight years old. Both of them had been involved in a fatal car-crash and died on the spot. Lady Jones was appointed sole guardian of Artemis, as her father had no other living relatives.
Artemis is twenty years old and is a lovely girl by everyone standards. She had long aquamarine hair that reached her back and slightly curled at the ends. Her violet eyes sparkled like diamonds. Her face was expressive and she moved gracefully like a dancer. She was small and delicate like a porcelain doll.
Artemis was a famous musician prodigy. She plays the piano, violin and the flute very well. Her talent was obviously inherited from her parents, as her father was a famous composer and violinist while her mother play the piano very well. Her talent was discovered by a friend of her father who then, had taken her under his wing and taught her after the death of her parents. Artemis performed solo by playing the violin at the Opera House in France and produced her first album at the age of ten. From that moment, music lovers around the world adored her.
Unlike other kids who have to go to school, a university professor who understood sign language tutored her at home. Sign language? Yes, sign language. Artemis suffered traumatically from depression after the death of her parents resulting her couldn't speak another word again. She was sent to a special school for the disable and learned how to express herself through sign language there. Slowly, she recovered from her trauma but she still couldn't speak. Her aunt loved her dearly but had given up hope that she could ever speak again.
"Albert, I'm going for a walk in the park. I'll be back in time for dinner." Signaled Artemis to Albert. He nodded and bid her to be careful. Lady Jones and Albert too had taken pains to learn sign language, as it's the only way they could communicate with her.
Artemis waved goodbye and headed straight for the beautiful park she saw on the journey here. To keep her company, she took her Collies, Mozart and Tchaikovsky with her.
