Chapter six

Ida's POV

Rea gave me the keys to the basement when I begged her to.This was where we kept all our old stuff and the room was really huge.Huge enough to take in a thousand people.I turned on the lights .Bright orange light filled the room everything was dusty and covered in white sheets.

I pulled off one one huge sheet and a cloud of dust entangled me.I coughed and moved my hand in the air to clear my sight.

Boxes laid everywhere. Some where opened whiles some sealed tightly with glue.

This basement is like a 'the room of exploration ' as I liked to call it because it contained all our old stuff.

Something caught my eye.It was my old cradle.It stood firmly in the midst of the dusty boxes and the  huge furniture covered in dust.

I wiped off the dust of the head of my craddle with my hoodie sleeves.

Now I could see the beauty.The cradle looked as beautiful as it was before.I took off my hoodie and wiped the cradle with it.

The golden and pink designs shone in the light with toys hanging above.

No one to use it since I was the only child.

My mind drifted back to what I actually came here for-the bottle of beads.

My mom and I used to make jewellery from beads.We used to live in our two bedroom house then before dad became a billionaire with just one great idea.

This his great idea got him a lot of money,this big masion and lots and lots of wealth.

I eargerly search all the boxes for the bottle of beads.

I slumped on the floor with my hands on my knees and my head bowed down.I was panting heavily from carrying boxes here and there.

I was  sneezing and coughing from all the dust and my white lacy top,sea blue jeans and white furry slides were covered in dust.I raised my head and my eyes scanned around the room.The was only one box with the lid sealed.

I closed  my eyes as I opened the box.Whatever was coming I wasn't ready yet after I had had disappointments in the other boxes.

My hands roamed through the box my eyes still closed.I felt a hard surface until my hand hit something plastic.

I opened my eyes and found books packed in it with the bottle I was looking for.These books had my mom's name on it. I checked the second -dads name. I flipped the cover open.

James Hall was written  in capital stylish letters.

I was just about to open the second page when  Rea came running down the stairs.

"Ma'am! Ma'am!" You have to cone upstairs now. Her feet hurried doen the stairs.

"Grace has gotten another heart attack" she skipped  boxes as she me pulled along.I grabbed the bottle of beads.

"Wait I have to pick some-"

"Ma'am the more we waste time the more she leaves us"

Grace laid in bed. Her eyes were shut.

"Has she taken her pills" I asked the other maid who stood by the window. She nodded.

"Can we have a time together".They all left us alone.I climbed the bed and laid down beside her.My eyes were heavy with sleep and in no time my eyes were shut.

"Ma'am Ma'am the've arrived"

Rea shook my shoulder.I looked beside me but Grace was not laying there.

"Where is Grace?"I questioned Rea as I sat up on the huge bed.

"Downstairs with your parents ma'am".I checked my watch.It was 1:30 am.

I jumped of the bed and hurriedly made my way downstairs.

I stopped at the foot  of the grand staircase .There they were.My parents.

"Please take the luggage up to our room"she instructed two maids.They carried the luggage.

There she was.Mrs.June Hall.Her black hair fell down to her shoulders.

She wore a turquoise hat and a turquoise silky straight dress matching with a pair of turquoise heels.She took off her dark sunglasses.Her blue eyes starred at me as her lips broke into a smile.She opened her arms and and I run into them.

"I missed you too much mom"

"You too baby"

My dad entered.His black hair was perfectly combed as usual and he looked elegant in his black suit. They always looked elegant.

My dad joined into the huge.

I can't believe they are finally here.

The way they hugged me was like they hadn't hugged me in decades.My head was on my mother's chest.

The smell of expensive blossom perfume and expensive cologne entangled me.I hugged them tighter.

My family.I whispered under my breath
