2024-10-29 19:42:56We were now standing In Front of Marigolds boutique and I couldn't be more excited to waltz in. I think step dad noticed my mood for he whispered as the security guard opened the gigantic glass door for us to enter.
" Be on your best behavior and don't embarrass me. '' I nodded, not caring about how heavy his words were. I was just too excited. The inside of Marigolds was as beautiful and glamorous as I had always imagined it to be. I stifled a giggle and just plastered a huge smile on my face. I saw some very important people trying out new beautiful outfits,some of them even sneered at us as we entered because of our rough old outfits, probably wondering what we were doing here and thinking we don't belong here.
I felt my mood go down instantly at such a thought but brighten up instantly as a nice looking girl came to take our order.
" Please I would love a dress for my daughter here"My step dad requested, gesturing to me and she smiled brightly displaying her white classic teeth before leading us the way.
" I have just the perfect dress for her" and she did because immediately she showed it to us,I fell in love with it and so couldn't wait to try it on.
" Go try it on" My step father ordered and the sales girl immediately got to work by taking the gown off the mannequin and handling it over to me before directing me to the dressing room.
Few minutes later,I came out of the room with the dress on and everyone gasped at how much it fitted my body, especially my step father. I saw something like lust flash across his eyes but it was gone as soon as I blinked so I decided to just ignore it thinking I probably saw something wrong. I was even foolish to think such of my step dad.
" OMG! It looks like it was designed just for you" The sales attendant complimented and I smiled before thanking her.
" So sir, what do you think,is it to your liking?" She asked and we all turned to look at him but all he did was say.
" We will take it, please let her try on more dresses before we get to the next part" My step father said and I got confused. What next part was he talking about? But I didn't get the chance to ask as the sales attendant nodded to him and dragged me off to another section before I could.
I was wowed by the amount of dress I was seeing. I tried on countless dresses and grew tired before I knew it. I was elated at last when we were done but was shocked when I was dragged off to the make over session.
Despite my resistance, different shades of powder and make-up were done on my face and when I looked into the mirror when they were finally done,I almost couldn't recognize myself. I looked so beautiful. My hair was styled into a bun and lots of fancy hairpins were attached to it. The edges of my hair were curled into beautiful patterns. I had to admit,I loved my new look.
Finally we said goodbye to Marigolds and made our way home in a fancy carriage with me inside looking like a princess. When we finally got to our house,I couldn't recognize it anymore. Everything had been changed and replaced with the short time we were away. When I entered inside,I was greeted by a bunch of maids who were dressed in servants' uniforms bowing to me and my step dad greeting us.
I wasn't used to it so I was about to bow to them too and would have if my step dad didn't cough giving me a warning. I nodded instead to the maids greetings.
" Are they here? '' My step dad asked and one of the maids nodded. At first I wondered who before remembering my step father had important guests who were coming to pay him a visit, perhaps they were already here and somehow I couldn't wait to know who they were to thank them. I have a feeling they were the one behind all these fortunes my step dad just seemed to have acquired out of no way.
' Strange' I muttered. My instincts were telling me to run and bolt out the door but why? There was no sign of danger.
" How wrong I was"
My step dad turned to look at me and gestured towards the living room. I nodded at him and started walking till I got inside our old but now luxurious sparkling living room. The old torn couches were already replaced with brand new expensive ones. The broken tiles has been packed away replaced with a beautiful creamy rug.
My eyes ran across our guests and I was surprised to see young good looking men instead of old men. They were actually three in number and had cold gazes. One has a long black hair which covers the right side of his eye leaving the other exposed while the second has a short blond curly hair with hazel eyes and finally the third has a not short nor looking purple hair with eyes that of a girl's. Now that was a first,I had never seen a guy with purple hair in my entire life except now.
" Is she the one?" The guy with long black hair asked and I shivered at the tone of his voice.
" Yes she is,I hope she will be to the magesty's liking" my step father replied and the blonde haired one licked his lips with a smirk,his eyes ogling me before saying.
" Of Course she will be. Considering how stunning she looks" .
Wait! What were these men discussing? I turned to my step father but was shocked to see him grinning at me wickedly.
" If so,she is all yours" He said, making my eyes widened. I hope it wasn't what I was thinking.
