Old wounds

CHAPTER SIX- OLD WOUNDS

Her smile turned to a smirk, and I watched her fold her arms as she looked from me to Bill.

“I see you’ve moved on nicely, playing perfect family with these strangers,” Samantha scoffed.

“Please leave,” Bill said quietly.

“Why should I…” she paused as her eyes rested on Candy, and she almost lost her balance as she sighted her.

“Is that…” she pointed at Candy, too short of words to speak.

“She has a striking resemblance to our late daughter, but you know she’s not her,” Bill said.

Samantha walked closer to Candy and examined her closely. “They look exactly the same. Are you sure this isn’t our daughter? Did you pretend to kill our daughter so you can end up with this woman?”

“Please leave!” Bill banged his fist on the table, attracting the attention of other customers.

“I don’t believe this! I know you’re capable of anything so I’ll find out myself,” Samantha said and pulled at Candy’s hair till she got a strand and Candy immediately cried out in pain.

“How dare you touch my daughter!” I yelled, losing my cool as I stood up.

“I only want a DNA test,” she said and stormed out before I could give her a piece of my mind. I quickly went over and hugged Candy, whispering consolation talks in her ear for her not to cry further.

“I’m so sorry about this,” Bill muttered and I simply nodded. The mood was ruined and dinner was over.

We went back to our rooms and the next day, we began to prepare for the party. I first started with dressing my daughters up and packing their hair nicely.

 Then I brought out my dress, which was a sparkly bodyhug dress with tigh high slit. My hair was packed in a ponytail and a beautiful necklace rested on my slender neck.

I did a bit of makeup, which complimented my face and I looked really good. My workout was really paying off as my body looked snatched under the dress. If I didn’t mention it, nobody would believe I was a mother of three.

“Oh babe! You look so good,” Bill couldn’t control himself and he kissed her all over my neck and all the way to my collarbone while I giggled under him.

“Stop it, the kids are watching,” I laughed even though I wanted him to continue.

“Alright! Alright! Kids are you ready!”

“Yes!” The girls screamed in unison and off we went to the venue in the hired limousine Bill had rented.

The party hall was beautifully decorated with the most exquisite design and I marvelled at the elegance and luxury being displayed at the party. 

Various calibres of high class were present, ranging from billionaires with diamonds, and expensive clothing to Lycan kings and their luna. The atmosphere was laced with the mixture of wine and expensive perfume and honestly, I was very impressed with this party.

Dante sure knows how to throw an exclusive party. I walked hand in hand with Bill, as he talked to some of the party guests, while the girls tagged beside us.

The girls got compliments on how good they look and I was loving the party already. Just as I was talking with one of the sponsors of my modelling agency, someone walked up to us.

“Hello, Mr Cane,”

I recognized that voice immediately when I heard it. I looked to the side and standing behind me was Victor, with Riley’s hands clutched in his.
