Hope POV
I made it back to the estate after a eventful night as I woke up to the sun I got up to walk downstairs.
Hope: Morning.
Gerold: Morning Hope.
Amelia: Morning dear.
I look around to see someone missing.
Hope: Amery's not here?
Gerold: She stayed somewhere else last night.
Hope: I see.
I enjoyed breakfast with them as I told them I'm going to see my mother today, her and my dad had a divorce.
They said it's okay as I nodded to head back up to change into my clothes as it was a blue blazer, black fitted turtle neck, black leather skirt, and blue heels. I had gold earrings, my mothers gold necklace with makeup on.
I left the estate to drive off to the city as I parked to look up at the skyscraper of my mom's company, she owns the number one tech company in the world.
I walked in to the building as on que my mother was downstairs signing papers as the emotions of the Hope here had tears.
Hope: Mom.
That was enough to get the woman's attention as she turned around to lock eyes on the necklace as she looked at me stunned. My mother was Danielle Thorn, she's a queen who rules everything.
Mom: H-Hope?
Hope: I nodded as she walked fast to me to hug me as I hugged back.
Mom: I missed you sweetheart, come with me upstairs.
She held on to me as we took the elevator up as we're on the top floor which looks like her office as we entered.
Mom: I want you to tell me everything.
As we sat on the couch as I told her everything as she is mad that my father gambled my life for money, she pulled out her phone to tell them that I'm the new Vice-President of the Company, apparently the last one retired as it was not told to anyone as no one stepped up for the job.
Hope: Mom, do you know someone named Joshua Orthon.
Mom: Yeah, Carter Orthon son, a total spoiled brat who gets what he wants, his father and him think there big shots but there company is good but nothing to brag about compared to mine.
Hope: What about Gerold Carnes?
Mom: Oh Gerold, he is a good man, he wanted a partnership which I was going to agree to.
Hope: He's my future father in law.
Mom: Oh, so that's the family your with, very well I'll agree to the merge.
Hope: So have you eaten?
Mom; No, and it's my lunchtime so let's go get some food.
