Episode One
CANDICE"
"Get ready, honey," my mom said.
"Mom, I don't want this. I'm just eighteen and I haven't even finished high school yet," I stated firmly.
"What do you mean? I had you when I was nineteen, and he has a daughter, just so you know."
"What the heck, mom!" I screamed.
"You're fond of kids, right? She's so cute, you'll love her," Mom squealed.
"Mom," I said, facepalming.
"Give it a try, baby," she said and kissed my cheeks.
"Fine, Mom, I gotta go, Scarlett's waiting for me."
I'm Candice Reynolds and I love singing. It has always been my dream to make it big someday and I'm currently going to audition in one of the biggest musical industries of all time, MYLES MUSIC INDUSTRY ®.
I met my bestie Scarlett in front of the house, already waiting with my driver.
She asked me why I had taken so long, and I explained everything to her. She reassured me and hugged me.
The car drove off and we got there after thirty minutes.
The place was big and beautiful. We went in and headed to the lounge, and she wished me luck as I headed into the waiting room there were a lot of people in there my stomach knotted painfully as I took a trip to the bathroom
I sat in there for a while assuring myself that it was going to be fine
When I plucked up the courage I went to the mirror to fix my hair and practice for a bit before I got into it I felt a light tug on my dress ?
I looked down to find a little girl with big and shiny purple eyes she looked so cute that I squealed
"Mommy, "she said and gave the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen and I wasn't exaggerating
I crouched down to her level and looked at her properly
"oh darling I'm not your mommy are you lost"
"she smiled at me and gave me a hug "
okay I should probably not say anything I thought as I picked her up
"Okay darling let's get you outta here, where are your parents," I asked her but the only thing she did was look at me and smile which was kinda creepy
just as we got out of the bathroom some group of men wearing black suits and sunshades came directly to us and surrounded us
"Young miss here you are your dad's been looking all over for you, "one of them said
"I found her in the bathroom and told her dad to take proper care of his daughter " I said and said goodbye to her before leaving
I found my way back to the audition room and I waited patiently for my turn
after a while, it was my turn and I was asked to sing Shameless by Camilla Cabello. I was nervous as I picked up the microphone but I worked up my strength closed my eyes and started singing
when I was done singing I opened my eyes and u received a standing ovation from the judges and other contestants
they told me they'd get back to me and I left
I didn't use my real name because I was sure I was going to get in because of Mom's influence but I wanted to get in with my effort

I was staring at the girl on the screen for so much longer than I expected
her voice created ripples in my heart
then my assistant came in with Alex and I took her and placed her on my lap suddenly she gave a big smile and pointed to the girl on the screen
"Mommy," she said and repeated several times she seemed so happy I decided not to ruin the mood and say that it wasn't her mother
I pat her head and said"Don't worry my sweet you're about to have a mommy" because I'm going to the girl grandma arranged for me to get married to
I don't even care as long as she can take care of my daughter and the house it's fine

when I left the company I drove Scarlett home and I was dreading going back home cause of all the marriage and stuff
but I still went home anyway, I got home to find everywhere decorated
"Welcome home darling" I smiled and turned I'd recognize that voice anywhere
"Nana" I screamed and ran to hug her
"I've missed you so much Nana" I said and she gave me a pat on my head
"me too darling"
"where's Mom "I asked
"she's in her room and I'd advise you to go to your room and get into something pretty our guests would be here any moment "
"But ....Nana I don't want this"
"you'll be fine," she said and walked away
I climbed the stairs while stomping my feet and headed to my room. I took a brief shower and had a mental breakdown on what to wear, I finally settled for a white ruffle skirt and ama y blue cardigan, I wore matching shoes then I did my hair into a top knot bun, I applied lip gloss
just as I rounded off my look Mom knocked and Walk-in
"Mom you always do this I haven't even asked you to come in yet"
"so sorry darling they're here already so go to the gazebo he'll join you and he came with his daughter," Mom said and left immediately
sometimes I wonder why mom is so strange she's downright weird and I love her still
I walked out of my room and took the back door to the garden where the gazebo is located
just as I was about to reach the gazebo I saw a little girl running towards the lake
"hey stop "I yelled as I ran after fortunately I caught her before she fell in but I grazed my knee and it hurt a lot
"gotcha," I said as I looked at her I was shocked to find out that she was the girl from that day "Mommy," she said and burst out in tears
"common darling don't cry it not your fault"
"aam sowwy, "she said in her baby voice and she cried harder
oh c'mon, I thought now I feel bad ?
"what's going on here" a think beautiful voice
I looked up and got the shock of MY LIFE!!!
