My Heart Will Be Yours

I walked into a big mansion.I held my breath for a second.The ceilings were high end with sparkling chandeliers hanging down.The curtains were beautiful and fluffy and they moved with the slightest wind.

I wrapped my hands around my arms.I couldn't count the numerous air conditioners in the room.It was very large that for a second,I thought I have come to the wrong place.

This was the second largest mansion I was seeing,after that of my foster parents.

"Miss Valdez,this way please" a woman in white apron gestured and I stopped my admiration of the place and followed her.

We moved further down and came before a steel door.The apron lady pressed a button and the door pushed open before them.

I stepped in along with her and my heart almost jumped out of my chest the moment it started moving.

It was moving so fast that I had no other option than to grab the lady beside me,for fear of falling.Not that I had never been in an elevator,but this..the speed of this one could easily tell anyone that the amount was not smiling.

"Have you not been in an elevator before?!" the lady said in annoyance as she pulled my grip off of her.

Losing control,I swerved to the other side and scratched my arm against an iron steel.I wasn't the least annoyed with the lady,trust me I have seen people with worse sense of humor.

Seeing that I was already feeling a bit dizzy,I sprawled myself across the floor of the elevator.I could feel the lady's piercing stare at me but I don't care.I still have my life to live and I cannot afford to die.

Not yet at least since I haven't met the love of my life.

It finally stopped and I stepped into another larger room.Okay..so where are the owners of this large house?

The lady disappeared inside another room and came out seconds later.She disappeared again and I busied myself with cleaning off the small blood that had seeped out of her wound caused in the elevator.

I heard the creak of a door and when I looked up I couldn't believe what I was seeing.The lady that approached from the door looked exactly like me! I slowly stood up to my feet.

I'll have to correct myself though.Not exactly like me because she had this make up stuff done all over her face and on her body was a high tuxedo gown and I need no one to tell me that it would cost millions of dollars.

I was now wondering how such a beautiful woman could be on a wheel chair! She smiled at me.

"I see you've made yourself feel at home already." she said as the wheel chair automatically moved on its own accord.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts of her

"I.. I'm sorry.I just-" I began

"It's okay.Have a seat" the woman said

"I am Stephanie Collins,wife of Edward Collins" she introduced herself.

With that introduction did she really expect me to know who she is? Those names didn't ring a bell.

"Sorry but uhm.." how would I put this? "..those names don't ring a bell."

Stephanie frowned.Was this girl really serious right now? How could the name of the most influential CEO not ring a bell? But she couldn't get angry because of the quest at stake.

"Collins is the name of the most influential groups in Illinois right now,how could you not know that?"

"Sorry" I smiled "I have other things better than sticking my nose in others business" I answered

"Not knowing something that the whole world knows is not sticking your nose in others business,it is stark ignorance." Stephanie replied,half annoyed

"Oh Miss.." I struggled to remember the name "...Miss Collins I can assure you that not the whole world knows of your famous group."

"What?" she exclaimed

"Yes.Like me for example.I am just hearing this for the first time and I am certainly part of the whole world."

"You're not even a somebody and I know you." Stephanie said.

I was slightly hurt at that word but I didn't let it show.It's better if I just go straight to the point

"What exactly did you call me here for,Miss..." I had forgotten again but I didn't mind.

Stephanie sighed "I need your help." she said and that surprised me.
