All Chapters of WillowRidge: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I could hear the rain outside, I didn’t want to wake up this morning. It was such a relaxed morning. I could see the dark clouds outside my bedroom window, rain drops were pattering on the window glass. The rhythmic sound of the rain was making me more sleepy. I lived in a one bedroom house that I bought with my hard earned money last year. It’s not big but it’s cozy, it is home. It looks like a cabin and I have my own beautiful yard which I have planted with different beautiful flowers, it’s my favourite place to read a book and have a coffee. I am Beatrix by the way, people who know me call me Bea. I am 26 years old and was born and brought up in this town of WillowRidge. My mother decided to divorce my dad when I was 2 years old and left us. We never saw her after that. My Dad loved me to the moon and back. He worked hard to raise me. He was always present for all my sports, recitals, parent meetings and still managed to work full time to provide for us. After I graduated I t

Sebastian’s girlfriend Tanya pushed me out of the way and sat on the couch that we had reserved for our group. All of them started devouring through our snacks and milkshakes that we had ordered. Sebastian started to play and when Jake and Freddy tried to talk them out of this by telling them it was a birthday celebration they just laughed. When the waitress brought in the cake with my name on it Sebastian just looked at me and said nothing. Tanya saw this and picked the cake up and smashed it on my dress. It was a chaos. I couldn’t take it anymore and ran to the wash room. As I was crying and trying to clean up my dress that my Dad had bought for me Tanya came in and said “Remember this as a lesson for looking at my boyfriend, next time it won’t be the dress” I replied that I wasn’t interested in looking at him either so she had nothing to worry about. This somehow triggered her and she got me by my hair and pushed me towards the sink area and hit my head. She punched me hard i

Uncle Peter told me something that made my legs go numb. The meeting that was about to happen was to discuss the future launch of a Five star hotel in our town. Uncle Peter was to join the meeting and be a part of this discussion as the representative along with our Mayor Mr Paterson. He was worried that the future of his resort was in danger and so was the nature and landscape of our town. He wanted me to accompany him as his companion to represent his side of the things in the meeting. He was scared because two Billionaires were going to be there to represent their plans and our Mayor would select the best one. To my Surprise Sebastian was one of them and the other one was someone called Adam Glass. I am not sure about one thing if they are so called Billionaires why are they so interested in our little town, why not big cities. I googled Adam Glass and photos of him at different events showed up, he was tall, fit with brownish, blackish hair. He looked smart and arrogant i

I came out of the conference room a bit flustered and confused. Uncle Peter came out and held my hand saying he is proud of me and is so glad that he took me along to the meeting. The Mayor came out and gave me a nod of appreciation and left. I started walking towards my cafe completely engrossed in my own thoughts about everything that just happened. As I was walking through the resort’s garden towards the main gate, a car came from behind and stopped close to me in the driveway. Adam stepped out of the car and came towards me, I took a few steps back. He looked as elegant and handsome as a Greek God. I thought to myself the pictures on the internet don’t do him justice. I pulled myself out of these thoughts and scolded myself within for even looking at him. I asked how can I help you, he replied “you already did. I got the project and your town got the best future possible. Don’t forget that the deal is on only if you be a part of it. So I will send my assistant to pick you up

I turned around and looked at him with confusion. I said ‘ Look Adam I am not sure what is going on, first you called me Beasty today after the meeting, which I don’t remember anyone ever calling me by that name and now you are saying you know about how I dreamed of having a place like this, what is going on. I am sorry but I am not someone you know or have known before’ He smiled and said ‘don’t worry about it, lets start what we are here for’ He pulled my chair for me like a gentleman. ‘So the first thing you need to do is sit with my team and talk about your vision of the place we have decided to use for the hotel’ he said. ‘My vision, how?’ I said. ‘ just how you imagined the hotel to be when you pitched the idea of building it in that abandoned block of land near the lake, just in simple words and my team will transform it into official designs. You will definitely have to approve the designs when they are made. We will go forward with the design you approve. You will
