2. We are now entering the realm of second generation heiress, Avoine
who doesn’t care much for the grass roots farming of her father
Chris. She is more concerned with the big world of business and cold,
hard cash. The garden will no longer flourish as it did when she was
a child. And it’s likely that there will only be one more crop before
the next season. Will it turn out for the best? Or will Avoine make
things worse? Time will tell.
3. Chapter 3:
Getting Down
to Business
Hey,
Well the house and the family money are now mine. I graduated from
college Summa Cum Laude, as I expected I would. I married an
international businessman named Stephan Go and he and I have the
same goal; to make as much money as possible. I told dad that now
that I was in charge, there will be no more money spent on farming.
The crop that’s growing now will be the last one, so I hope he enjoys
it. The family money will be better spent on acquiring businesses with
the goal of being the Top Ranked in the city.
4. My brothers Kale and Ash both got married to their respective
sweethearts, and moved out of our friend’s place to start their own
lives. I will probably update them as I add my entries to the family log
because it will make mom happy.
5. My half siblings, Magnolia, Will,
and Cypress also got married as
per mom’s wish. So she’s happy
as a clam now. Dad got his wish
when the three of us graduated
from college so I don’t have to
worry too much about them now.
6. Oh and I suppose I should also
mention the other half siblings,
the results of dad’s affair with the
Sim Self, also got married. Mom
may have forgiven dad for
cheating on her with that woman
but I am not so sure I should. Of
course we spent some time
together in college with one
another, it helped keep dad
happy and paid the bills there.
Don’t expect a lot of pictures of
them in here, because honestly I
never knew they even existed
until college, so it’s not like we all
grew up together…
7. But affair children aside, I topped my career in Architecture and
immediately took the opportunity that presented when a space for a
CEO opened up in Business. Naturally, I topped that too. It was also
time for my parents to enter their golden years. Mom could retire
and be with dad like she wanted to.
8. Dad and mom grew up well and I made sure that they had some
decent clothing to wear once they grew up. I can’t have my parents
looking poor now can I? The family reputation is on the line, my
reputation is on the line. Stephan is working his way up the Medical
ladder and will soon become Pleasantview’s Chief of Staff. A very
prestigious position worthy of the Gaia name if I do say so myself.
Our children will want for nothing once they arrive.
9. Speaking of children, I was still doing my duty as heiress even though
it meant taking the time off work. Which wasn’t so nice, I was bored
out of my mind being stuck around the house.
10. Imagine my surprise when I had twins, a boy named Mason and a girl
named Marge. This is Marge, my daughter. She has father’s eyes and
her daddy’s hair.
11. I decided that my son Mason will be my heir. He has a bright future
in the world of business because his mother is so successful in it.
This was a nice shot of my parents with their grandson, it was
definitely worthy of being added to the family journal.
12. Soon enough it was time for
their birthdays. I wanted to give
my son the boost into
toddlerhood while mom wanted
to see Marge into it. I had no
objections to that of course.
I hope my son takes after his
mother and has the right instincts
for business.

14. I wanted to teach Mason how to walk, while mom wanted to teach
Marge to talk. Stephan was more contented to teach them a nursery
rhyme rather than their practical skills which is odd since he is more
Family oriented than I am. He wants another child but I have said that
two is enough. We don’t need another.
15. However, I think that mom is finding that little Marge is rather
stubborn and does not want to repeat what she’s trying to be taught.
I remember Cypress was like that so mom must know some tricks to
get them to learn.
16. Dad knows I don’t approve of his continued relationship with that
woman, but he still goes out to see her. Is it wrong to want my
father to stay with his own family? His legitimate family? Am I
being selfish? Sometimes it feels like I do have three kids, my dad
doesn’t listen to me. He knows I don’t like her…
17. Or is it the fact that she seems ageless and is still the same as the
day he met her? Is he really still after a younger woman even now?
He is a man after all. But if Stephan ever thinks he’ll be chasing a
younger woman when he’s old he has another thing coming!
18. Kyle, my other half brother, still lives there with her. Why is he still
living in his mother’s house as an adult? He’s not an heir or
anything…and last I heard he wasn’t married or even engaged to
anyone.
19. Maybe dad just misses having a son around, I don’t know. And as
much as he is aware of how much it bothers me, I doubt he’ll stop
seeing her or his kids with her any time soon.
20. Maybe I’m just jealous that Kyle has his own very successful pottery store,
called Angelic Pottery, and I have yet to secure a land deal from the city for a
business of my own. Last I read, his pottery store was a Rank 10 and pulling
down a pretty tidy profit margin. I went in there one day, it is a pretty nice
store and he has a lot of beautiful work in there, pricey just as great art should
be. I plan to buy stock in his company if and when he takes it public.
