Chapter 1


I was back in this house for the first time in four years. I hadn’t had to be first daughter in four years… no wait I take that back I always have to be first daughter.

-flashback-

The day they dropped me off I didn’t get a hug like everyone else…they were even there really…they stayed in the car while I had people help me move things into my private dorm. They did manage to sneak up after I had everything pretty much unpacked but it wasn’t to say how proud they were or anything like that it really was just for the reminder…

“Madison, remember we have a reputation to uphold. We are the first family we can’t just go do whatever we want”

“Yes, I know that.”

“Madison don’t be like that…”

“I wanted to go to Canada for school but ..”

She cut me off “You know we can’t have you do that… that life cannot happen...That life doesn’t exist. Robert’s team worked hard to keep that out of the press.”

“Well Robert is not my father… “

“Madison Lily Waverly that may be the case but Canada is in the past that is it.”

“Fine…ok I know…Be the debutant first daughter you raised me to be…I always am. Aren’t I?”

She smiled then. She had turned me into what she wanted…and I went along with it. When I had stopped fighting a long time ago about going to see my father…it got me no where especially now that she was married to the new governor of Alabama.

College had been an eye opening time for me and I learned a lot…I will never forget it. It changed me…for the better but mommy dearest might not think so especially when she hears of my plans

Lucy was unpacking everything… “ I can get those Lucy you already have enough to take care of.”

“ I really don’t mind Miss Madison. Your mother wants to see you downstairs anyways. By the time you get back up here I will have everything where it goes.”

There was no use in fighting…my mother was the boss and she always got what she wanted. So down the stairs I go to probably be roped into another socialite charity event…it’s what she does…she had to be the perfect socialite.

Walking in and immediately seeing seating charts I knew that was exactly what was going to happen.

“ O Madison you are home?”

She didn’t even realize I was coming home this weekend. You would think she wasn’t even present at my graduation but then again I did only see them for about 15 minutes after the ceremony they had to head back and handle some crisis. She really is in for an awakening when I tell her about my latest purchase.

“Yup” and the daggers came out…

“Yup? I don’t think so especially not with the charity luncheon coming up next week.”

“Sorry”

“Its ok we will have you back like normal before you know it”

“Back to normal???”

“I didn’t mean it like that Madison, you just have been out of the loop around here for awhile and we just have to get back into the swing of things”

“And if I don’t want to …”

“Madison I am not having this fight with you right now. I have a very large function that I need your help on”

“I’m not interested”

“I don’t really care Madison…this is what we do.”

“NO YOU DO THIS…NOT ME…I am just here…bending to fit you and your needs.”

"Madison Lily....”  she never uses my last name...That was one fight that I won..Of course it was easier since Robert didn't adopt me.

This was going no where fast…time to break it to her.

“I’m going on a trip”

“Where would this trip be”

“Canada…I am going to Cole Harbour”

With that I turned and left her in my tracks. I had pack to do. I was going back to Canada…I was going to reconnect with my roots…and my father.

No one was going to stop me either.
