(Miss Perfect👠)

Prologue✍️

By: Faith Lucky

Ethan knocked on the door but got no reply. He knocked again but there was still no reply.

He knew he was in but wouldn’t open up. So, he controlled the door with his mind and it went open for him.

Ethan walked in and found him sitting on the floor, his legs crossed on each other and his hands spread out. His eyes were closed and it was obvious he was meditating.

Well, Ethan wasn’t there to wait.

“Jericho” he called, but there was no response as he continued sitting on the floor,stollon the position.

“Jericho” he called again and this time around,he snapped his eyes open – they opened with a mighty force, a glass from the table came crashing on the floor.

Ethan stared, but didn’t flinch.

“Did you really have to interrupt me?” Jericho asked, his tone unruffled as he remained on the floor. “If you had been someone else, you’d be dead by now”.

“I had to, Jericho. Sorry for that” Ethan replied and walked closer to him.

“There’s an important message from father. He wants me, you and Claus to go to earth for an urgent mission”. He added and a scrawl crept into Jericho’s face.

“Earth?” He scoffed. “Why would he want us to go that damn place?”

“It’s important, Jericho. And we only have 6 months to accomplish the mission and return here. So, I came to inform you because we’re to leave at the break of dawn”.

Jericho took In a deep breath and stood up.

“What’s this mission anyway?” He asked.

4 Months Later

In America…✍️

Valerie Waltson stepped out of the jet, her right hand at akimbk and a bubble gum in her mouth.

She suddenly paused when her legs were close to the floor. She took off her glasses so she could have a clearer view.

Oh! Damn, she couldn’t believe she was back there in DC. She made it.

She smiled and made a bubble with her gum, then wore back her glasses. And with her usual skimpy steps, she continued down the jet.

She got to the floor and headed straight for her ride.

“Welcome home, ma’am” the driver who was standing outside the car bowed, when she got closer to the car.

“Yeah” was all she mumbled as she awaited him to open the back door for her.

He did and she walked into the car, sitting comfortably. Hmm. Home sweet home. She could hardly wait.

Her luggage was rolled on and put out n the boot and after that, the driver started the car.

Valerie took off her glasses and brought a mirror from her bag. She had a look into it and a smile curved from her lips.

Well, she was still looking pretty – as pretty as ever and enough to show to her parents after being away for almost four months. She needed to make a good impression.

She ran her hand over the soft side of her cheek, feeling the fresh skin. Her skin was so perfect, spotless and flawless. Could anyone be as perfect as she was? She thought and giggled.

She brought out her iPad,logged into her page and made a quick post- Back to DC. Get ready for me, girls”.

She giggled as she saw the likes and comments flooding in.

Oh! How she loved this. How she loved being adored.

She kept the iPad aside and continued with her smaller phone, taking pictures and making videos. She was sure having one of her Best moments.

It was a long ride from the airport but finally, they arrived. She gasped as the gate slides open and the driver drove into the inefabble mansion. Oh!! Yes, she’s missed this’.

She was home!

Everything welcomed her. The environment, the atmosphere, flowers, spring, statues. They welcomed her even while she wa still seated in the car. Oh! Of course, they’ve all missed the princess.

She spotted her mum standing at the facade of the house and she could barely hide her excitement at longer.

“Oh!” She gasped and opened the door even while the car was still moving.

Well, the driver had to stop.

She jumped out of the car and with her skimpy steps, ran towards her mum who was waiting her arrival.

“Mum!!!” She squeaked as she got close.

“Oh! My baby!!” Her mother reciprocated and kept her arms wide open for her, awaiting the hug.

It finally came as Valerie jumped into her arms, almost getting lost in her chest.

“My baby’s looking so beautiful! Oh! Darling, I can’t believe you’re back!!” Mrs Waltson cooed as she held her daughter so dearly like a golden egg.

“I’ve missed you, mum!! Oh!! I love you!” Valerie flushed, unable to hold her excitement.
She wished there was a way her mother could just swallow her up.

“I love you too, darling”. Mrs Waltson beamed.

They disengaged from the hug and Mrs Waltson planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Ah! Where’s dad?” Valerie asked, taking off her shades.

“He’s with an important client, Val. But – I promise you, he’ll be home in less than an hour” she added the last part quickly so it stops Valerie from getting mad

A maid showed up immediately.

“Welcome home, ma’am Valerie. Please, where’s your luggage so I could help you with it?” The young maiden said politely.

“Seriously?? It’s on my head! Try getting it off” Valerie snorted and rolled her eyes.

“Come on, mum! Let’s go in. I think I’m damn tired” she said tiredly.

“Her luggage should be in the car” Mrs Waltson whispered to the maid before going in with Valerie.
