Is life all about being rich and famous whilst ruling a kingdom

Chapter 1 Beginning

I turned off my alarm clock and started to get ready to start the day as any normal teenager. I was a bit startled by the dream I had last night as I rushed downstairs to take my breakfast just before heading off to school.

By the way, I'm Andrew and recently I've been having strange dreams ever since my grandad passed away since I was nine and sometimes it bothers me a lot. My grandad was a kind and generous man whom I took as my role model ever since because I was obsessed with his lifestyle.

He was also very wealthy. Now I know what you're thinking that we might be rich. But we're just a normal loving family who cares about making others happy. I am the only child of both my parents Mr and Mrs Anderson.So as I headed off to school my best friend John joined in we've been best buds since sixth grade and honestly I enjoyed his company even though he can be a bit of a party animal sometimes.

I still like him just the way he is. We chatted along the way to school and he couldn't stop talking about the party I held last week at my place. I changed the subject and discussed our school work since we were in our final year of high school.

Most guys are just excited to start life after getting into college on their own, away from their parents, No rules and No curfew you know. As we approached the hallway, we saw Emily, she waved at me and I waved back smiling.This kinda left John surprised.Honestly, I think I have a bit of a thing for her. More like a crush maybe?

As she left John gave me the stink eye before we went to class. I knew he was going to talk about my thing for Emily lately. And just as you would expect, he did talk about Emily during the class session. I sat with Emily during chemistry class and gosh she is beautiful when she is viewed up close. Beautiful dark hair, flawless skin and deep blue eyes. What more could a guy like me ask for?

She's also the top of the class whilst I'm just an average guy who was always in the top 10. Whatever goes on in class, nothing would make me take my eyes off Emily not even for a bit. Which made me look like a creep sometimes. Just then, the principal announced my name during lunch to meet him at his office

I was a bit worried and confused about why he would call me to his office. Yes, I got into trouble sometimes but not always. I reluctantly agreed and met him at his office. He welcomed me to his office and offered me a seat. I sat down with a major official sitting next to me.

"Mr Anderson, I called you here because we need to inform you about some important matters concerning your future here at Wendsford High."

" Is everything okay, Mr Klein?" I asked anxiously.

"You'll find out soon" Mr Klein assured.

Now I'm a bit confused as so many thoughts run through my mind."Am I about to be expelled, punished or confronted by my parents?"

These were some of the questions I asked myself just when I heard the knock at the door. As the principal opened the door, I was shocked at the person I saw before me. I was speechless and stunned.

Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering. 'I want a divorce.' ****** Dashiell lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the best things money could buy. But when a car accident left him vulnerable, he met Elodie, a seemingly ordinary woman who nursed him back to health. Mistaking her for just another employee, Dashiell entered into a loveless marriage with her solely for convenience. However, fate had a different script in store. Elodie, the 'ordinary nurse,' held a secret more precious than any diamond: she was the sole heiress to Northstar, a vast and powerful enterprise. Unaware of her true identity, Dashiell cast her aside when his ex-girlfriend returned, leaving Elodie humiliated. But Elodie was not one to be easily broken. She shed the facade of the meek nurse, reclaiming her rightful inheritance and stepping into the role of Northstar's CEO. Now, the woman Dashiell discarded was the one holding the reins of power. As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
