"Of all people" I said in my head, while already dreading the confrontation that would surely happen between the two brothers. One look at Xavier said it all. He had his jaw In a tight grip, I thought he would ground his teethts to dust. I turned, a little startled from his interruption. He was holding two glasses, filed with wine for him, and probably who knows who. His smile was charmingas always, and his tuxedo sparkled under the dim lights. “No , as you can see we're are in the middle of something…” “Of course,” I said, cutting into xaviers speech. I slowly took away the remaining glass, a chunked it up in one gulp, allowing the hot liquid to give me the needed strength I need. “What is the meaning of this caroline?” he growled angrily, but i was in no means intimidated, rather i stepped away from Xavier before he could react. “It means that were do

The world spun before me.My mouth went dry.Special guest?Delegates?Nathan smiled politely, offering his hand like we were strangers. Like we hadn’t burned down entire years together with passion, “Pleasure,” he said smoothly.“Don’t,” I snapped before I could stop myself. “Don’t act like we haven’t met before.”Joeline’s eyes flickered with amusement. “Oh? Do you two know each other?”Nathan smirked. “We have… history. But then again, who doesn’t in this room?”Daphne stiffened beside me, and when I glanced at her, her lips were pursed, eyes calculating, like something had just clicked.That was when I knew she knew something. Since yesterday I have been having this feeling that she knows something she is not saying.

I hardly slept last night, leaving me tossing up and down until dawn, but that didn't stop me from getting ready for the day.“What” I asked Daphne who was staring at me like I had grown two heads.“Nothing, just that you are different” she had said, before dismissing it, and together we prepared for the engagement party.**********************A soft music was coming out of the grand hall, which was the venue for the event.

He genuinely didn’t remember any of it.The heavy feel of disappointment covered Mr from head to toe. I could almost taste it within my mouth.I felt foolish. So utterly foolish for thinking last night meant something, for believing, even for a second, that those whispered words were real. That his feelings weren’t just echoes from a drunken haze.I had led myself to believe what was not there, all because I wanted it.
