MAKING HIM MINE

New life

chapter 2

Lana Preston was seen as the country's luckiest woman, she was beautiful, wealthy and also proud .

the whole country knew of her arrogance because she did nothing to hide it, her family moved to Paris not long after she married, which was not surprising because she was at loggerheads with them, she disrespected and disregarded them every opportunity she got, so it was no news when they moved away.

The only thing that still put her on the cover of magazines was her husband, Derrick Preston who used to be the most eligible bachelor in the country until Lana snatched her from the market and married him a year ago, she is the heiress to the Preston empire since her husband Derrick is the only son in the vast Preston empire.

Victoria had seen and heard all about Lana and Derrick in news, magazines they were the dream couple she couldn't ever dream off.

Now here she was standing in front of a mirror as Lana, she didn't understand how this was happening,

what was she going to do.

Just then, a knock on the door startled her, she wondered who was there, would they see that she was an imposter, what if it was Derrick, he would definitely notice that she wasn't his wife, the knock was persistent so she stuttered a "come in"

The door opened and a woman who looked like she was in her late fifties entered, she was dressed in a black dress that passed her knees a few inches with had a white apron tied neatly around her waist and neck, her hair had gray strands and she had a smile that made Victoria muscles relax.

"Ma'am, you're awake, your breakfast is ready" she said in a calm voice and her relaxing smile. she reminded Victoria of the Grandmother she never had.

Victoria didn't know how to respond so she said an "okay" uncertainly and was rewarded by a smile from the woman, just as the woman turned to leave Victoria called her back"wait, who are you" she knew it was a stupid question but she just needed some answers.

"Ma'am is everything alright, do you want me to call the doctor" the woman enquired with a worried expression.

Victoria was busted just like that she didn't know how to react, but then she remembered the one trait that made people play to Lana Preston's tune, it was her arrogance, she quickly put on a displeased expression and said rudely "Do think am crazy, I want answers not your pretence care"

The woman quickly regained a calm expression and said, "Am Esther, the head of the workers here, I raised Derrick remember "she ended

"okay, so where's Derrick " Victoria continued prying.

"well at work of course we're else would he be"she replied looking surprised.

Victoria didn't want to ask this but her curiosity took the better of her, " Tell me about me in this house with my husband, Derrick, I mean how's our relationship.

By now Victoria had sat on the bed ready with all ears to everything.

"Well what's there to know you are a busy woman and Derrick is even more busy, the both of you say you're too busy but the we all know you hate him, you never wanted to marry him and you find everyway of making his life miserable, she spoke with Soo much resentment, it was obvious she was hurt and just like that she left leaving a stunned Victoria on the bed.

Exhausted she lay on the bed thinking about everything, who she was,and she came to conclusion.

Yesterday she was a nobody, but today she was in this mansion with a new face, new husband, she was now wealthy, she had been granted a new life, the universe wanted her to live her life better with no regrets, a life were she would truly be happy, Lana seemed to just like her past self, she had everything thing, wealth, a husband who was every girl's dream, but she didn't seem to appreciate it and now that the opportunity had been put before her , she would put things right and be happy.

She would enjoy her life to the fullest with her new husband this would be her new legacy .

She started checking out he room, if she was going to be Lana she had to know everything she saw a door, she opened it , and it was the biggest bathroom she had ever seen, the money just kept amazing her and she was certain she wasn't going to get used to it easily. she got into the tub it was perfect, life could not be better, after showering, she took a peak in the closet and "my oh my" fancy was just an understatement.

Lana had class and style and she had no intention of hiding it it was like she put the whole mall in there, the lotion table was beautiful with creams that were clearly imported,

Victoria went work, put on some make up creamed up her body, curled her hair, took out a dress that short and pretty, it brought out all her curves as she stared in the mirror she knew She really was beautiful.

With a pair of heels and a bag she saw a phone which was definitely Lana's and headed out.

The mansion was beautiful she just couldn't explore it today but she would do it sometime later right now she had to close Victoria's old chapter, if this was going to work Victoria had to die completely.
