A Trillionaire’s Revenge

Preparations for my birthday had begun. Judith had bragged to her friends about her only child turning twenty and as for my father, I wondered why he always looked tensed.

Rocky had payed me a visit for a short while. After Rocky's exit, thankfully, Aunt Ruth had come and she'd gifted me a lovely custom made Versace nude evening dress that complemented my skin and showed off my essential curves. I had decided that I would leave the next morning after a proper thank you speech to my parents. I was half scared that my parents would somehow find out I'd had sex with Rocky if I stayed behind.

Going downstairs , as I inspect the decor, I realize that they're dull and boring, but extremely expensive. I would have preferred gold or burgundy decorations or a livelier color, but my parents had instead, gone with a pale and annoying shade of grey.

"Thanks, I really love it, Maggie." I say to the cook, who'd just given me a pair of sandals.

"Yes, Natalie. You're such an amazing person. I'll head back to the kitchen now before your mother sees me." She says and we both chuckle.

Maggie and I spent a lot of time together in the kitchen. She'd been more of a mother than my own mother.

A few hours later..

It was my birthday, the birthday had begun, and it was time for me to make my grand entry.

"Natalie, darling, are you ready?" Aunt Ruth says, escorting next into the party.

"Happy birthday Natalie!" The room echoes, giving me a warm feeling. I echo a thank you, and immediately, my eyes fall on Rocky. He was dressed in a black tux, his hair styled backwards. I smile at him, looking forward to our adventurous night.

"My darling. Happy birthday to you, my love. You make me proud." Judith says, a glass of champagne in her hand. I could feel the pretense fill the atmosphere. I roll my eyes internally and graciously smile back at her. I walk away, towards my friends, but I bump into dad.

"Natalie, congratulations. You're a woman now," He says, smiling at me.

"Yes, daddy, thank you." I respond, hugging him.

"I'll go see my friends now." I say to him. I walk off again.
