Prologue
Bill came over to my side of the bed and sat down, his hands folded in his lap, his head lowered.
"What is it?" I asked. His curious behavior made my heart beat faster. Slowly, he raised his head and fixed his eyes on me-eyes full of sadness and pain.
"I've got to tell you something. I've not been solely conducting business on my trips, especially the trips to Richmond. I've been gambling and…carousing."
It was during one of these trips to Richmond, one of his carousing trips, that he drank too much…and thus I was born, Adamantine Cornelius Martin.
Author's Notes: I'm sorry this was so short! It was just the prelude to something, and I wanted to see if the idea was good or not. Then again that really doesn't reveal the idea…okay, so what the point of this is…it's Adamantine's story, basically. He goes to find Bill, he loses his mother…you know, basic V.C. Andrews, including the complications and all. You'll see, it'll be awesome! I just have to work on it some more…I just started the first chapter this afternoon and with all the homework I've had lately…I think this update will be awhile. But I'll try my best to get some of it done! After all, cliffhangers and uncontinued stories get annoying after a while…I should know. :) Anyway, so tell me where you think this will be going, and until then hope for the next chapter!!!
