The night was promising as it was just about to start. It was the mayor's birthday and it was a day which needed not to be forgotten.Elsy, Adora and her friend were all dressed and were seated in the living room, hoping to share a bottle of wine before zooming off for the birthday. This was their ever first invitation to the mayor's birthday.The two maids were all occupied as they were helping Mrs. Elizabeth and Granny Modella with their clothes. As lazy as they were, they had their butts tucked on the chair and waited for one of them to get done before serving them.They were actually not going to wait for a longer period as they saw who was going to replace the maid. Adora called Jace who was busily walking to the dining table."It's good you are here, Jace. Quickly get us a bottle of wine with three glasses." Adora stated while paying full attention to the mirror in front of her. She was checking if her clothes were up to standard, given that so many big personalities were going
It was close to 9 pm and the hall was gradually becoming full. Everyone was seated on a table that corresponded to their standard, and only their level of influence could determine that. Modella was seated at table 16, meaning she and the other people seated at her table were ranked among the 16th most important person of the party. It was quite a pity for her to see her granddaughter seated at table 5. This showed how far she had overthrown her."Elizabeth, can you see what I'm seeing? Your daughter has taken it upon herself to destroy the family." Modella said while scanning the whole environment. She made sure her voice was low enough for the other people around her not to get what she was saying."I don't understand what you mean. How is she destroying the family?" Elizabeth played deaf ears to what her mom was saying. She knew what her mom meant by 'destroying the family' but she chose to be neutral because she didn't know whom to support."What I'm trying to say is-" loud music
"Excuse me, Sirs." Jace bowed his head and quickly dismissed himself. Fear stroke down every damn corner of his body. He walked till the end of the hall where all the controllers could not have access to him. He looked in the direction where his father was and they did eye contact. He brought his hands together and started begging his father in distance. This plead was for him not to reveal to Mayor Lamenz that he was his son.His father kept a contorted face but there was nothing he could do. He just changed his direction and served himself another drink.Once this problem was solved, his heart got back to normal. There was something that caught his attention. They were three reporters who were interviewing a man and a lady. He couldn't see their faces as they were in his back.What got intriguing was when he had access to the lady's gown. Those were the same clothes Amelia wore. To confirm his suspicion, he went a little bit ahead, and boom it was Amelia and Daryl who were holding
The party ended and the hall was full of murmurs as everyone tried to make their way out of the hall. To this effect, Amelia squeezed herself out of the hall and reached for her car. She zoomed it off and she was home in no time.Her legs were painful so she removed the shoes and started walking bare feet, clutching her shoes. She had entered the house and was reaching the stairs when she heard someone clapping. "Well done, Amelia." Granny Modella approached her."Granny, you are home already." Amelia turned around and declared with a tired tone."Don't you dare change the topic of our conversation. You knew about this collaboration between Storm and Marchburry, yet, you went ahead and hide it away from us? This only shows how egoistic you are." Modella said with lots of disdain."I'm not ready for that. If you want we can talk about it tomorrow. Good night." Amelia muttered. She turned again and was walking up the stairs."Young woman, stop there," Modella yelled, but it wasn't enoug
Jace was panicking in his trousers when he heard that question. He had no idea Amelia was in the bathroom when he harshly commanded through the phone.She was still cold towards him concerning the mayor's birthday, and how he deliberately turned himself into a waiter."I-I…." He stammered one more time."Will you just stop stammering and tell me who you were yelling to a while ago?" She straightened her back before yelling."I was just asking the doctor to take good care of Madam Gouvan. You know she has really helped me." Jace said immediately.That was the first idea that popped into his head, and without thinking if there was going to be a side effect, he bombarded.After sighing, she patted her lips before declaring, "You should have done that using a low tune. Remember, you have no money with you, so you should be begging him and not the contrary." She said."Yes, you are right. I think the idea of losing her scares me." He said slowly."Better," She halted before continuing, "No
Amelia rose on her feet, took her purse, and started walking towards the door, once she rested her hands on the doorknob, she turned and gazed at her grandma before smiling."Grandma, please…" She declared beneath her lips.Modella let out a deep breath before bundling herself into one. When she arrived close to the door, she whispered in Amelia's ears before walking away. She said Amelia was not going to run away from their conversation for long.Indeed Amelia was running away from their conversation. She was not ready to change the name of her company and not go into a collaboration with her granny. That was perhaps the last thing she wanted to do.She really had lots of work to do at the office, but she couldn't concentrate on them. She had to lie to her granny that she was going somewhere else.On reaching the login, she stumbled and nearly fell. Luckily a man was behind her, he was right on point in preventing her from falling."Ouch, be careful belle." The man who saved her said
"This is again something you want to please your wife with. I don't even know why you keep wanting to help her whereas she isn't doing anything to help you. Why don't you just divorce her, son?" Damian asked calmly. He rose from his seat and walked to the chair where Jace was comfortably seated."Dad, it's not what you think." Jace tried to convince his dad."Then make me understand. Because from this story the only thing coming to mind is the fact you are trying to do everything for her to forget about that guy. Can you tell me how you met this lady?" Damian asked sarcastically."I know Amelia is behaving this way because she thinks that dumbass is the one helping her. She thinks he has been the one providing her with everything she needs for her business" Jace uttered firmly.After some rounds of walks, Damian finally patted his lips and declared, "Instead of wanting to ruin him, why don't you just tell your wife who you are? I mean, you can tell her you had no idea you were a billi
"It was nice sharing a moment with you, Mrs. Amelia," Blake uttered with a smile on his face just after opening the car door for her."I can say the same here, it was much fun having breakfast with you." Amelia smiled at him before climbing down the car. With her purse clutched to her stomach, she gradually took her time when walking since she was wearing pointed heels.Just when she was about to enter the H-building, she heard someone call her name from the other side of the road. When she turned her head in that direction, she was faced with Daryl standing beside his car with his car keys shaking in his hands.Her shoulders dropped, at the same time she took a deep breath before starting to walk toward him. "Daryl what-" Before she could complete her statement, Daryl harshly interrupted her statement."What were you doing with that guy and why did you have breakfast with him?" Daryl asked her, his face full of irritation.Amelia turned her head in the direction of Blake's car and
