3. Shopping

Don't carry your mistake around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stone to rise above them. 

ATHENA

There are four families that rules the whole America with a iron fist. They are not only rich but very powerful. No one dares to mess with them but the most interesting fact about these families is that the all have good relationships with each other. These four families have a very strong friendship with each other and no one can break it. Hamilton's are one of them. Paulsen, Hamilton, Oliver and Knights are the four families. I know all of them as i am also one of them but it has been 14 years since i meet them all. I don't know anything about the new generation.

I am not shocked that my father fixed Amelia's marriage with one of them. I sighed and made a note in my head to find more information about the Hamilton family. I have heard rumors about Lance Hamilton but i can't trust those rumors especially when it is about my sister's life. I was brought back to reality when i felt a hand on my shoulder.

"What happened are you ok" Amelia asked.

"I am fine just little tired " i replied.

"What are you wearing for engagement party. " Evelyn asked.

"Engagement party???" I asked confusedly.

"Oh i forgot to tell you that we are holding a engagement party this Saturday. " Eve spoke.

"Why don't we go for shopping in the evening to buy a perfect dress for you" Evelyn asked.

I really wanted to deny but knowing Evelyn i nodded my head. I know she will never take a no for an answer.

After sitting for few minutes i excused myself and went back to my room. I grabbed my phone and dialed a number. After ringing for times finally the person picked the call.

"I want to know everything about Lance Hamilton. Everything means everything. " i spoke in my usual bossy tone and hung up the call.

I want to make sure that my sister life is not destroyed because of some wrong decision.

I opened my laptop and started checking my e-mails running a multimillionaire company is not easy but i am doing my best.

After replying to every email i had my lunch. After lunch i started reading a book. After sometime i looked at the clock and realized that it was already 4 and we need go for shopping at 5 so i closed the book and got ready for our girls outing .

I wore a white crop top and denim shorts and paired it with white heels. I paired by outfit with a white sling bag and braided my hair.

I walked downstairs and saw mom sitting on sofa. She was reading some file. I went and sat beside her. She gave me a smile and asked.

"Do you want some coffee "

I shook my head.

"How are you Athena " she suddenly asked me.

I knew what she meant but i wasn't in a mood to talk about it.

"I am fine " i replied.

Before she could say something . I saw Amelia and Evelyn walking towards us. I sighed in relief and gave them a smile. They both were looking very beautiful.

Amelia was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress while Evelyn was wearing a pink pleated skirt and denim shirt. After saying our goodbyes we went towards the garage for our car. Evelyn  chooses a red Ferrari for our outing.

We reached the mall in 30mins and went inside. I was least interested in shopping and if it was possible i would have never said for 'yes' for it.

I sighed when Evelyn dragged me towards a designer dress shop to find the perfect dress.

After walking for 2hours she finally found the dress and i sighed in relief. After shopping i was tried and just wanted to sleep .

At 9 mom called me for dinner and i wish i could deny her. I took a deep breath i started walking towards the dinning room. I saw father sitting on head of the table. He looked at me but i ignored him and sat beside Amelia. Dinner started within few minutes and we all started eating in a silence.

"How was your flight " father asked me.

"It was good" i replied without looking at him.

My relationship with him has changed after that incident. There was a time when i loved him. When i was his little princess but now he is just a stranger to me. The day i lost her the same day i lost him too.

After i was done with my dinner i went back to my room. I changed my clothes and went inside the balcony. I sat on one of the couch with a glass scotch. I looked at the sky blankly. The sky was looking so beautiful with plenty of stars. I went indide my room when i finished my drink.

Sleep is a luxury for me. Being insomnia has its own advantages and disadvantages. Since she left i started having trouble in sleeping. I took sleeping pills and layed down on my bed. I closed my eyes and after few minutes i fell asleep.
