Charlotte's POV

It was time.

I went to my formal wear and pulled out a red dress with a white hairpin.

My servants helped me prepare but I wanted my father to put the necklace on me.

It was a silver rhinestone necklace, in shape of a oval.

"I don't understand, it's only a court hearing, and I must go dressing up in this?" I groaned at my maidens.

"You want to look presentable towards your opponents" The maiden with blonde hair says.

"Whatever then" I sighed.

About 2 hours of getting ready.

They guided me to my father.

He was wearing a white business shirt.

Along with a dark blue suit jacket.

He put his mobile down and looked up at me.

I beamed.

"You look.. Lovely"  He says 'lovely'  carefully choosing the right word.

"Thank you, Padre" I said.

"The hearing begins in half an hour" He says taking my hand and opening the limo door for me.

I stepped in.

As my father shut the door he stepped in and sat across from me.

"Dad, could you put this necklace on me?" I asked.

He got up and went to my side of the seat.

I turned my back to him as he lifted my hair and put the necklace on.

"If this is how you look to a hearing, I wonder how your coming of age dress looks like" He murmurs.

"I'll look even more extravagant" I proudly said.

"I certainly hope so, after all you are my daughter" he says going back to his seat.

I looked out at the window.

Chloe Charlwood... for some reason that surname sounded familiar.

We approached the court house.

Then I saw Chloe standing outside of the courthouse with her head hung low.

The limo pulled up to the curb and the Chauffeur opened the door.

My father stepped out first and helped me to get out.

I looked and saw Chloe staring at me.

I gave her a sympathetic smile.

"Dad is it alright for me to talk with the Chloe" I asked turning my body to my father and looked up at him.

"I would be careful, and they could use any words you say against us" He says planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Padre, when have I ever done that"  I rolled my eyes.

I made my way to Chloe.

I held my head high, and took one step at a time.

Elegantly as I walked to her.

I caught the attention of the adult males and some females.

Before I could talk with her.

Her father stepped in my path to her.
