Beatrix Agatha Evans' POV
"Mom!" I called out to her.
"What do you want this time?" I heard her yell from the kitchen. Whoops. I guess she was making some breakfast.

"Sir Jackson pooped in my room and I refuse to go in there to pick it up. " I whined as I came bounding on the stairs and make my way into the kitchen.

"I'll clean it up later,okay? For now, just eat your breakfast. " came my mother's reply. I nodded and started munching on some bacon.

"What time is it?" I asked her as I stuffed a pancake in my mouth.

"It's 7:34 dear. " My eyes widened.
"Shiitake mushrooms, I'm late!!" I was about to run when my mom caught hold of my arm.

"You don't have to go to school today,dear. Just take a seat, I have something to tell you." Being the obedient child I was, I sat down.

"What is it mom?" She then held her left hand up and my attention went straight to the beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger.

"I'm getting married!" She squealed, making my eyes widen in shock. My mom was engaged? I didn't even know she was dating someone.

"To whom? You never introduced me to him. That's not fair mom. " I said through my tears. My mother's wide smile soon vanished.

"Aren't you happy for me?" She asked, her own eyes tearing up as well. I shook my head.

"Of course I'm happy for you. I'm just upset that you never introduced me to him while you were dating. " she smiled at me.

"Don't worry dear, you will have plenty of time to get to know him, I promise. " I gave her a strange look. She was leaving something out of this.

"What are you keeping away from me mother, come on. Spill. " she rolled her eyes at me.

"You're too quick for me Beatrix. Okay so I have decided that since I knew you would react like this, that we are moving in with him." My eyes bugged out of their sockets.

"We are doing what now?" I asked again. Still not able to wrapt head around this.

"We are moving in with Steve so that you could get to know him better." I didn't know what came over me. I just bolted up the stairs and in my room, avoiding Sir Jackson's poopie.

I heard footsteps follow me and my mom came into my room.
"What are you doing Beatrix?"
She asked as she came closer.
"Packing. Duh. " she chuckled and left me to do my packing as she cleaned up our cat's poopie.

After several hours, everything was packed.
"Mom! I'm done!" She came back into my room.
"Are you done packing?" She shook your head no.
" Sorry dear but I'm not going to move in with you. I have some business to do in Europe. " my mood immediately died.
"But why will happen to me?" I asked, jutting my bottom lip out and staring at her.
"Steve will take care of you, I promise. " then mom's phone beeped, indicating that a message has been sent to her. She looked down and let out a sigh.

"Speaking of Steve, his driver is right outside, waiting to pick you up. "

We carried my luggage down. Outside, I saw a sleek black escalade with a primp and proper man standing next to it. As soon as he spotted us, he ran over and took the luggage that me and my mom was holding. He then put in the trunk.

I faced my mom with teary eyes and hugged her goodbye.

"You be good, you hear me?" I nodded and gave her one final hug before sliding into the car door which the driver was holding open for me. I watched our house until it was no longer visible.

"Hi Miss, my name is Harvey. I'm the driver of the Knight family. " the driver said, introducing himself.

"Hey Harvey, I'm Beatrix. Do you know my mom?" He nodded.

"Yes, I do. I have driven her and Mr. Steve out for dinner a couple of times. She is a lovely lady. " I was kind of hurt by that. Even the driver knew they were dating and here I was, clueless.

"So, how long are we going to drive to get there?" I asked impatiently. What? I just get bored really easily.

Harvey chuckled at me. "For about another two hours or so. " I nodded and decided to just sleep until we get there.

So here is the prologue! I have decided that Miranda Kerr would be perfect as Beatrix. There is a picture of her on the side of you're using your computer, and on top if you're in you're phone. Please vote, comment and fan!! Love you all!!
