May has a good rest that night, dreaming about the ball and the Prince. She was happy that day, happily doing her chores. Lady Trancy has come to her room that night to check on her, making sure that she is asleep. She have find that the lady, Prince Drew was dancing with is a lot like May. After checking May after the ball and find her truly asleep, she get out of the room and shrug off the feeling she had. Lady Trancy decided that May may be the girl that Prince Drew had been with in the ball and wanted to make sure May get out of the way from her plan of getting Brianna marrying the prince. So that afternoon, she set up a meeting with the billionaire, Brandon, who she thinks will like May and also be a benefit to the family.
May was watching the dishes while singing when she heard someone has knocked on the door. She stops singing and dry her hands before opening walking out the kitchen and open the main door. Standing at the doorway is Brendan, who she had met during the ball. He is wearing a black suit with a white collar shirt and a dark red tie. There is a butler standing beside him. May can see a long black limo was parked outside the gate. Lady Trancy walk down the stairs quickly and greeted Brendan.
" ! I am so happy that you have decide to stop by! Come in and make yourself feel like home," Lady Trancy exclaimed like a convivial host and look at May. "May, why don't you prepare us some tea and cakes."
"Yes, My Lady," May said. She was taught to never call Lady Trancy 'Stepmother' in front of guests. May quickly rush into the kitchen and prepares cake and tea for the guest as Lady Trancy invite Brendan in and take him to the sun room to have tea.
"Thank you, May," Lady Trancy said as May set down the tea and the cakes and pour two cups of tea.
"Um... this tea is specially made with a lot of favor," Brendan commented after he took a sip.
"Yes, . You do have some very good taste. This tea is specially made," Lady Trancy bragged as May left the room.
May went back to doing her chores. She quickly finishes wash the dishes and get start cleaning the floor. She was sitting on the floor with her hair pinned up and a bucket of water beside her as she uses a towel to clean the crystal clear floors. Brendan was standing by the hallway, watching May clean the floor. May was wearing a black dress that reach to her knees and a white apron over it. She also have on white knee length socks and black flats. Her brown hair was pinned up today by a single long hair pin, thanks to Dawn who help May do her hair. May was smiling as she work and her deep blue eyes was shining. May does remember Brandon the girl he had met at the ball. He walk over toward May until he is standing above her and kneel until he is at her level. He put his index finger under her chin and tilt it up so her sapphire eyes meet his brown ones. He stare at it for a while before let go of her face and stand up, dusting himself.
"She will do, Lady Trancy. When will the preparation begin?" Brendan ask after he stands up and turns around, facing Lady Trancy who is looking at him from the door.
"Of course! The preparation will start as soon as possible. It will begin tomorrow!" Lady Trancy exclaimed.
"Very well, I will come by tomorrow," Brendan said as he take one more look at May before walk out the door with his butler walking beside him. The door closes and May quickly continues cleaning.
That night, May was handing out the family's food when Lady Trancy decide to tell everyone the exciting news.
"May, you have grown up. It is about time you have to form a family. Birch, the one you have met this morning, had agreed to marry you and in addition, giving us a five million dollars. The preparations will start tomorrow and I hope that you make Birch happy and didn't regrets his choice. Don't worry, he will treat you will. Just remember to act like his wife ans make him happy. You better not ruin my plans," Lady Trancy stated with excitement and seriousness in her voice thinking about the money while May and Dawn was in shock before hiding it away. May can't believe that she was forced to be married away for money.
"I am so excited for you May! You get to marry the Brendan Birch! I can't wait for your wedding! Just thinking about it makes me wonder when is Prince Drew's and my wedding!" Brianna exclaimed, only thinking of herself, and didn't knowing that she is mocking at May.
"When is the wedding, Mother?" Dawn asked.
"Next month! We have so much to do until that time!" Lady Trancy exclaimed. Dawn look at May and sadden. She didn't want her stepsister to marry someone she don't like and just for money. What about May's happiness? Dawn knows that she can't marry to Paul because Lady Trancy would never allow it but May? May is suppose to marry Prince Drew! Since when did Prince Drew and Brianna is going to get married?
May excused herself and walk back into the kitchen it eat her dinner and feed the Pokemons before going back to the dining room to give the family their dessert and get their plates away. Lady Trancy and Brianna was still talking about the May's forced wedding. The evening soon ends as May finish washing the dishes and cleans the table. She was laying on her bed with her Beautifly by her side.
"Oh Beautifly, what did I do to deserve this?" May asked as she cries, her Beautifly cries with her. May falls into sleep, with tears as her Beautifly went back to sleep in the garden of roses.
