Chapter 1
In a faraway land, nobody knew that there are worlds of mannequins called Bolanaire Kingdom. It is ruled by a Queen who lives in a massive palace. The palace was surrounded by staggering unique types of trees, plants and flowers. And there are exotic buildings and houses everywhere, where the mannequins used to lived. Buildings rear either side, they are built to last thousands of years and are a rare sight, a vivid feast for the eyes. In the distance is a bridge of many stone arches, each of them perfectly formed, it leads to the Palace of the queen. It is sat high upon the hill overlooking the Bolanaire’s land, many pointed towers stab blindly at the sky giving it the look of an eccentric. This is the world and the kingdom of mannequins. One day, there was an average seventeen year old girl who was invited to the Bolanaire kingdom. Her name is Melania. She is fat, short and has dark skin. But she has a beautiful face. She was standing at the front of the huge door of the palace and waiting for it to open. And shortly thereafter the door was opened widely, and then she walked inside.
She was amazed when she came in, there were eye catching huge chandeliers hanging over the ceiling, with beautiful and magnificent decors.
And while she was wandering inside the palace, there was another huge door opened for her, and then she entered, and she was much more surprised for what she had seen.
From her point of view. There were mannequins lined up on her way, the males were on the left and the females were on the right.
Those female mannequins have dense black long hairs up to the waist, with bangs and they wearing long white gowns, and the men had short hair and they all look handsome wearing white Tuxedo, all glaring at Melania while she was walking in the middle towards a throne where a Queen is waiting for her. The queen has a beautiful face, pointed nose, rounded emerald green eyes with long and thick eyelashes, little red lips, and long wavy black hair. Her face has a perfect shape, she wears a stunning green long gown and has gilded with diamonds and gold bids. She is sitting on a brilliant golden throne engrave with rubies and diamond stone. But she have no King and no crown on her head. She was waiting for Melania to come near her.
"Come with me Melania!" The Queen said with cold voice.
Melania continues to approach the Queen, she was shuddered whenever she passes the mannequins who are turning their heads on her. But her fear faded as she saw the Queen smiling while waiting for her.
And when Melania was about to reach the Queen ..... then suddenly, someone called her name. “Melania!” Said a deep voice coming from nowhere. She turn her head and she saw a man standing at the end where the mannequins were lining up.
He was a handsome man with a keen sense of humor. His face is well defined, with a sharp jaw and angular cheekbones. The complexion of his skin going well. He had tousled dark brown hair, which was thick and lustrous. His eyes were a mesmerizing deep ocean blue. His face was strong and defined, his features molded from granite. He had dark eye brows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression. A prominent jaw curved gracefully around and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his entire body; strong arms, bold thighs and calves, a firm chest and abdomen. Melania was surprised when she saw him. His name is Brando.
And after a while Brando approached her. "Come on Melania you don't belong here!" he said loudly and he reached out his hand to her. She was thrilled when she saw him as though she had known him for a long time. And she is trying to reach out with him. But when they about to hold their hands to each other, the queen was upset.
"Put that man in the Lion's den!" The queen ordered and soon the male mannequins grabbed Brando’s arms side by side and he was struggling to escape. And then the female mannequins grabbed Melania and pulled her away from him. Melania's tears spilled as she saw him was looking at her but he was taken away from her. Melania couldn't stop sobbing in tears. And then suddenly someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hey wake up chubby girl, we'll be late for school!” Her cousin Iris waking her up..
Melania woke up crying.
“Are you crying?” Iris nodded, Melania sat down on her bed and there she noticed that her tears were dripping. She wiped it with her palm. "What are you dreaming about?" Iris nodded. “I saw a man in my dream, he want to save me for something that I want?” Melania said. "It's just a dream okay? Get up!” Iris just shook her head.
Iris help Melania to get up, still in drowsiness, they slept late last night because they movie marathon. Then suddenly, her aunt Valeria came in.
"You two will be late at school, what did you do last night?”
“Mom, we watched a couple of movies, we can’t sleep because you went home late!” said Iris.
"Even though I wasn’t home yet, you still sleep early okay?”
“Okay mom, but why you went home late last night?” Iris asked.
“I picked up some fabrics in downtown, and took me too much traffic and with heavy rain that’s why, anyway go ahead and get ready for breakfast!”
“Yes mom,” Iris said gently. Then Valeria turned her attention to Melania who was still sleepy.
“And you Melania, next time don’t sleep late okay? Look at you, you can’t get up easily,”
“Yes aunt Valeria,” Melania said while yawning.
