Ellie
Yay a party, except it's with people all older than me basically ugh. I wore a long gold dress with diamond earrings, and some heels. I looked at myself in the long bathroom mirror.
"You look so cute," Nevaeh complimented. Heaven nodded as she ate cheese. I am ready to get this party over because while I'm gone the twins are going to be having a movie marathon and ordering room service.
"Thanks," I said. I don't do dresses like this, I'm like my mom.
"Just go out there, say your speech," Heaven said.
"Yay speech," I said bitterly. "Anyways, I gotta go make my big entrance," I said. I left the hotel room and got into the elevator. I pressed the down button and waited. The door opened almost half way down. Oh my god. Levi enterted. I haven't seen him in a while.
"Hi Mafia Princess," Levi said. I gave him a glare. "So what's up?" He asked.
"Where are you going?" I sneered.
"Oh you know dinner with the rest of the school basically," He said sarcastically. "And I have to give someone a little proposition," He said. I glared at him and he smirked. The elevator opened on my floor. "I believe this is your stop," He said.
"Yeah," I said, leaving the elevator and running down the hallways wanting to get away from him. I made my way to the ballroom doors.
"There you are," A voice said. I turned around to see my Grandma. She looks different, but I'm not sure why. It was almost like a glow.
"Hi Grandma," I said opening my arms for a hug. She grabbed them and did a little air kiss.
"I would hug you but you look nervous and nervous means sweat," She said. I rolled my eyes. Yep still the same Grandma.
"Just about the speech," I said.
"Your father hasn't helped you?" She asked.
"Not really," I said.
"God, I should go kill him," She said.
"Grandma," I scolded.
"Just kidding dear, now I should go get back to my boyfriend," She said.
"Is it true he's Daddies age?" I asked.
"Just a little younger," She said. Ew that's gross. "And he isn't my boyfriend I'm engaged," She squealed.
"Does Daddy know?" I asked.
"Oh sweetheart I don't need your father's opinion," She said. I raised my eyebrow. "Gotta go you'll meet him later, good luck my Princepessa," She said kissing my cheek then going back into the ballroom. I stood by the double doors and waited for the big security guys to open them. I heard my Dad's loud voice through the doors so I guess he's introducing me. I heard my name and the doors opened. Holy shit that's a lot of people.
Eddie
She's looks perfect, I can't even complain that the dress cuts a little low, she looks angelic draped in gold. She walked down the stairs and towards me. She smiled brightly and I saw so much of my wife in her face. She hugged me and I hugged back, not wanting to let go. I did release and she took the mic. She started speaking, sounding so much like a leader. I've never been more proud than this.
"You look shocked," Yacker said in my ear. She rubbed my arm slightly.
"I am. She'll be leaving soon," I said, finally realizing. She isn't my little girl anymore.
"I know, but you have to let that go," She said. I sighed, sadly.
"Yeah I do," I said bitterly. Ellie finished up her speech and we started to clap. She got down and then started to talk to some of our allies in the business that I'd told her about. Patricia went off to go find some champagne and I went to the sides of the room observing.
"Mr. Miller," I heard. I turned around and saw one of my clients.
"Levi, what are you doing here?" I asked. When I was looking over Ellie's extensive guest list I saw him so then I just realized they went to school together.
"I have a proposition for you," Levi said. I raised my eyebrows and called my wife over. Patricia came over and looked at Levi.
"Levi here has a proposition," I said.
"What is it?" Patricia asked.
"An arranged marriage," He said.
"For?" I asked.
"Me and Ellie," He said. Oh fuck no. Patricia grabbed my arms. "It's a business arrangement," He said.
"Sorry, but Ellie will get married to who she wants," Patricia said.
"Oh come on, I know everything about the business. I'll do all the work and she won't have to be heartless," Levi said. Won't be evil? My angel will stay pure?
"I don't think we can accept," Patricia said.
"Wait," I said. Patricia looked at me shocked. "You want to marry my daughter?" I asked.
"I want to protect her," He said. I bit my bottom lip.
"I'll think about it, but you have to prove yourself to me," I said.
"Eddie," Patricia started.
"Thank you Mr. Miller, I was ready to run this," Levi said before leaving.
"How could you?" Patricia exclaimed.
"I've never wanted her to take power," I answered. "I don't want her to hurt people, this will save her," I said.
"Save her? Eddie, she's been training for this she wants to be the boss," She said.
"I didn't say it was definite, I'll think about it," I said biting my lip.
"Eddie, this would crush her dreams," Patricia said looking me dead in the eye.
"Like he said it's a business decision, and business is business," I said straightening my suit jacket. I walked away leaving an obviously pissed off wife.
