Breakfast had been wonderful although I had lost my appetite the moment the bacon was passed to me. This was quite unusual because I actually really love bacon. I didn't want anyone to notice so I forced myself to have one pancake and an apple. I was beginning to feel quite nauseous so, immediately I was done, I thanked everyone for joining me and headed for the back porch to get some air. Taking a few deep breaths helped erase the nauseous feeling so I decided to get some work done. I instructed Maria to get me my draft folder and journals ; where I had some designs we were working on in the office to release in six weeks. I also asked for my laptop and some water. She brought everything to me with a bottle of water. I informed her that I wanted to get some work done so except the house was on fire I didn't want to be disturbed. I sat on one of the comfortable reclining chair that overlooked the pool at the back porch.
I began checking the journals. It was a beautiful day. The skies was clear and the birds seemed to be having fun. I was finding it hard to concentrate. I breathed out heavily, closed the journals and took a sip of the water. I closed my eyes and remembered how happy everyone was at the table, how I was the owner of one of the world's largest fashion houses, how I was married to the Alexander Wilson . But as good and natural as it seemed it wasn't always like that . This beautiful story started seven years ago.
