The Power Of Love

You couldn’t tell it just from looking at her, but she was well focused, willing to do most anything to fulfill her personal agenda. So when she was introduced to William Patterson Jr. at the party following the fashion show, and saw in him exactly what she had been searching for, she turned on all of her wily charms.

She had grown up dirt poor, her parents considered by the neighbors as white trash. Both of them drank too much, and the police were regular visitors in her childhood house, there being quite a few nasty domestic disputes. She was an only child, and from  early on subconsciously felt a tremendous amount of anger and inner shame.

She was very much a loner during those early years. It was difficult for her to look anyone straight in the eyes. But a funny thing happened as she began to mature into womanhood.

By her Senior year in High School, she had developed into this ravishing beauty. It had come about so rapidly that  she and all those around her were taken by storm. Quite suddenly, she found herself surrounded by a bounty of young men with their tongues hanging out of their mouths.

Inside, however, she remained this shame ridden, angry, insecure little girl. Over the ensuing few years her personality evolved, and she became quite an interesting and conflicted young lady.

She had grown to fully appreciate the animal attraction pretty much all men felt towards her. She could have her pick of the litter, so to speak.

She moved to the city, and began a quite successful modeling career. When first instructed on the correct persona to inhabit when on the catwalk, there was no need for her to put on any affectations. Cool, emotionless, distant, she was, indeed, a natural. 

The real Chelsea was so well hidden beneath layer upon layer of such thick defense mechanisms that there was at the time the great probability that she would never emerge.

So when she set her sights on Mr. William Patterson Jr., she hadn’t a clue what was truly in store for her.

He was everything she she was looking for. Old money, being heir to the Patterson Cosmetics fortune. Extremely handsome, well mannered, and, what attracted her the most, a quite obvious aura about him of being totally upper class.

William was attracted to Chelsea from the git go. Then again, who wouldn’t be? But, besides her obvious beauty, there was something else he saw in her, something that perhaps no one else was capable of perceiving. 

They had a whirlwind of a romance. She had learned, by that time, how to catch the man of her choosing and how to keep him interested. For her, at this point, it was all a game, but a serious one at that.

There was one thing, however, that she never foresaw, and when she felt it’s full impact, found herself completely off balance. Totally blindsided her, as a matter of fact.

William Patterson Junior turned out to be the most beautiful human being Chelsea could ever have imagined. And he fell genuinely, madly in love with this once emotionless, distant, frightened young lady.
