She barked at me like I was one of the servants instead of her daughter. Even in front of royalty she couldn’t hide her disdain. Marla shot her a glare, luckily for Sharon she missed it, Calvin however did not. He immediately became nervous, smiling a little too brightly.

As I walked towards Marla and Theo, Sharon began to speak her voice flat. A far cry from the enthusiasm they had introducing their other children.

“This is our daughter Graceland. We hope that you show patience with her. We only got her back seven years ago, so she hasn’t had the adequate amount of training as our other children have had.”

Marla looked at Sharon with a look of disgust causing her to shudder slightly. Calvin then

spoke up.

“Uh, what my wife means is Graceland may not be as poised and graceful as our Livie, but she will most certainly serve well as servant and caretaker.

Theo and Marla shot death glares at Calvin. In all honesty, they were doing an immaculate job at ruining themselves all on their own.

Marla spoke first.

“Such prideful introductions for your sons and other daughter. Yet this is how you introduce the daughter you’re allowing to marry my son?”

The color began to drain from Calvin’s face. Sharon began to explain,

“T–That’s not it! Madam, I’m not sure if you were aware, but Graceland was taken from us

Calvin and Sharon’s eyes shot up in fear, this hadn’t gone the way they thought it would.

Noah then tried to intervene.

“Lord and Lady Christiansen, please forgive my parents if you felt they misspoke. What they

meant to say-”

“You’re the brother correct? Not the father or head of household?”

“Hello daughter.”

“We’ll be out of here soon; we just want to verify something first.”

“Well, we’ll be leaving soon, so, if you could show us where you had ‘our daughter‘ sleeping. We’d like to get a general idea of what her tastes are.”

Guild began to spread across Calvin and Noah’s face while Sharon’s expression was blank.

Marla then looked at her watch.

“We’ll be taking our leave now. We’ll inform you all when the wedding takes place.”

Turning to face me, Marla extended her hand to me.

“Come daughter, let’s go home.”

I smiled passionately as I grabbed her hand. Theo then ordered the guards to grab my violin and suitcase. We didn’t even say goodbye as we existed the estate.
