Chapter 8: The reunion part 2
"Wait." I stop James and the latter look at me, confused.
"Well, I just want to give them a surprise. Mind hiding for a minute?" They look at me, more confused but I just smiled.
Domenicus nodded and hide behind the wall beside the door. The other four followed.
"Do your best!" James said excitement can be seen in his entire face.
His hands were up in the air, silently cheering for me. Even the three boys followed him and raised their hands but Domenicus just stared at me coldly as if he doesn't care at all.
I just smirk at them and never glance at Domenicus again.
I step closer from the door, I sighed heavily to calm down, and when I did I grab my beanie revealing my long wavy hair and my butterfly barrette.
I heard them gasp but I ignored them and opened the door gracefully.
I saw people wearing their best dresses, elegantly and arrogant. Men in their tuxedos look like decent people but it was true that no matter how decent you dress if your attitude is stinky, it won't hide it.
But there's this one woman who is surrounded and being praised non-stop. She arrogantly smirked and flaunt her dress as she poses.
I sneered and chuckled.
This woman never changed. She's still like attention and still very full of herself but stupid.
And I guess this woman's radar when it comes to beauty gets stronger and stronger as time passes by.
"Oh, look who's here!" She purposely shouted and approach me.
I crossed my arms over my chest and look at her like she was nothing.
"Oh? Still arrogant aren't we?" She mockingly said and twirl the glass she was holding.
"Who owned the venue? Too cheap." I said and smirk.
Yes. It is cheap.
The chandelier is fake.
Before I donated cellphones for the kids in the orphanage and they hate it when I buy expensive things I once mentioned to them that I want to buy a chandelier to change the chandelier in the mansion. So, they showed an app to me, where you can buy expensive things at a cheaper price but I found out that it was fake.
The structure is indeed pretty but the design is obviously painted by a third-rate painter. It was obviously sloppy but you won't notice it at first glance you need to stare at it to realize it.
"What did you say?!" She angrily shouted and aggressively run towards me but someone stop her.
"Aonaran, you just came here but you are causing trouble already." I rolled my eyes and smiled, containing my laughter.
Ah, I miss this!
"Oh dear, isn't the Miss perfect and now the Top architect or...is it? Can't even determine a third-class design." I insulted her without a second thought.
They gasped loudly and stared at Syl worriedly. I saw how her eyes widened in shock but I could see in her eyes that she was enjoying it.
But before she could answer back an aggressive not- so-dangerous snake approached me but she was stopped by Miss top architect.
"Let go of me, Aonasyl! I'm going to kill that cheap bitch! She ruined the party! No one wanted you to hear, you slut!" She angrily shouted as her face turned red.
She's wearing a freaking green dress and all I can see is an angry Sherk.
Oh, boy...
"Cheap? Me?"
I laughed mockingly as I look at her from head to toe. "Girl, my shirt is much more expensive than your dress."
"You!"
Our batchmates gasped loudly and started to whisper each other while keep glancing at her, particularly her dress.
"No wonder I find the dress fabric is weird!"
"Yeah! As far as I know, those five pairs of dresses were only bought by one woman!"
"But she said she bought it... so she has five of them?"
"Bah! It is obviously a lie!"
"The designs are weird too! Look at the design, isn't that supposed to be a carnation flower? But look, it's a rose!"
"You did this on purpose!" I laughed evilly and glance at Syl.
"Nah. Why would I waste my time with you? Such a useless bitch not worth my time at all." This time, Syl let go of Shernina and let her step near me and splash the wine on her hand.
I closed my eyes and waited for the cold wine to devour me but all I could feel was warm arms wrapped around me.
A familiar perfume attacks my senses of smell. His embrace is warm and comforting. I felt so weak inside his arms, the feeling of being embraced by him is there again. It is enchanting that I'd wish I could stay forever. My hands trembled in fear at what I thought as my heart beat faster than it used to be.
But it ended so fast when my mind instantly know what's my heart has been feeling.
Memories of how they destroyed flash in my mind like a light.
The feelings that overwhelmed me a while ago vanished like the air passing through us.
I pushed him hard and glared at him. "How dare you touch me?! A mere bodyguard does not have the right at all!" I angrily said at him and distanced myself.
He stared at me as his eyes darkened. His jaw clenched as his aura is getting darker and darker.
I know that look on him. He is mad. But why would he be mad? I just told him the truth!
Even though, I still prepared myself as different scenarios appeared in my mind.
He keeps on staring at me for a minute before he decided to move closer to me. Afraid that he'll do something to me, I unconsciously grab my barrette and caress it.
He stop on his track and stared at my face and then move towards my hands. His angry face suddenly changed into something unexplainable.
His face suddenly relaxed as his eyes turned soft and filled with something like love? Or is it just my imagination?
What is he thinking?
Does he think that I still can't move on from him? Dream on! I'm scared of him! I'm not just prepared today if he'll get mad.
He turned his back on me and face the crowd, particularly Shernina. "Don't cause any more trouble with the Young Miss or else I have to deal with you," I smirk at what he said.
I step closer and stood beside him. I saw hos Shernina slowly losing her hope and looking at me in disbelief.
"Oh, your idols are my bodyguards. If I'm cheap then they are cheaper, don't you think?" I ask as I look around.
I could see how shocked they were, and Domenicus calling me young miss is proof.
"A bodyguard?! Aren't they successful already? Why did they become just a bodyguard?"
"No way! This couldn't be true!"
"How could that be? Could it be that there is a misunderstanding?"
"Look how Dome protected Aonaran!"
"Isn't that normal? He has always been protecting her!"
"But they fell apart right? They hurt her in the end!"
"I heard it was Aonaran's fault!"
I frowned and glared at the woman. She instantly looks away and stops talking.
"James, stay with her. I'll just change my clothes." Domenicus said and walk past me.
I just shrugged and look at Syl.
"How long are you going to touch her? Make sure you wash your hands before touching me later!" She chuckled and pushes Shernina to the ground.
"Sorry dear, the show is over." She said as she look at Shernina ridiculously.
I shrugged and tap her on the shoulder.
"Nicely done, cousin!" I smirk and nod.
Aonasyl is my cousin. We've been together since birth. We are partners in crime and always make trouble before. We are like sisters who share everything with each other. There's no secret between us. Aonasyl is a princess too but she studied abroad so we did not study at the same school but we are still updated at each other's life.
"Aona, should we change clothes too?" James suddenly asks which makes Syl stop talking.
She frowned and look at James from head to toe. "You look like a kid." She said and dragged me away from them.
I glance at James who furiously opens his lollipop why glaring at Syl.
I chuckled and nudge at Syl. "That's bullying." She just rolled her eyes at me.
"Well, he looks like a kid in my eyes!" I laughed again and shook my head.
"Do you know that one of them could be the prince?" She stops in her tracks and looks at me.
"Well, as I observe only Domenicus and Biejay could be the prince." I frowned and shook my head.
"I don't know. This must be my challenge but I could feel that there's something wrong I just couldn't tell what's wrong." She leaned at the railings of the veranda and gulped her wine.
"Hmm. I'll help you investigate. Don't act rashly for now let's go with the flaw." I nodded and take a sip from the wine she gave me a while ago.
Chapter 9: Dream
"So? How does it feel living with your enemies?" She asked which made me frown.
"Hell." She chuckled and gulped her wine again and grab another glass.
I shook my head as I stare at her. I'm not done drinking my first glass yet but there she is, drunk at least six glasses of wine already!
"Must be frustrating to see them every day." She said with sympathy but her eyes says different. She's laughing at me!
This woman!
"Guess how many times we fight in one day?"
"Every time you see each other?" She answered, unsure.
"Yeah! Just seeing his face makes my blood boil! Do you know that since father is busy again, he watches my every move! At the dining, he'll force me to eat veggies! The nerve!" My face grimaces remembering the taste of broccoli.
I gulped my wine.
"He is like second Riana! Even Butler Ryu is enjoying my suffering!" She chuckled again and offered me another glass of wine.
"You let him control you? Girl, shouldn't you learn from your mistake before?" She reminded me and glance at the moon.
"Look, he is shining brighter now than before. While you? You stayed the same that's why he thought he can still control you." I frowned and feel annoyed at what she said because I know it was true.
All these years, I have never improved at all. No achievements. No work. No friends.
And then, I suddenly remember something.
"Well, are you willing to be my patient?" She spits her wine out and glared at me.
"Aonaran! Are you cursing me? I'm willing but I don't want to always get ill!" I chuckled and give her my handkerchief.
She grabbed it and wipe her lips.
I look at the five idiots who are enjoying the party- maybe four? James is hiding at the corner of the balcony, where me and Syl at.
Syl followed my gaze and snorted.
"He's really like a kid."
Girls are surrounding the four of them. Lloyd is entertaining them by holding two girls in their waist while the other two, Von and Biejay are entertaining them too by letting them feed them. But Domenicus is just seating there like a king and doesn't mind the girls around him.
Maybe he felt my stares so he look in the way that made me avert my gaze.
I snorted and focus on Syl.
We talked about random things until we decided to go home.
I glance at the five boys once again before leaving. I saw James followed me, I don't know if he informed the other four idiots or not but I don't care.
I'll leave whenever I want, no need to inform them.
"Young Miss, Lady Aonasyl." Butler Ryu greeted us.
"Are you coming with or not?" She pointed out an approaching car which was most likely to be her driver.
"No." She answered.
"Butler Warren! It's been a long time since we saw each other!" I frowned and look at her weirdly.
Didn't they see each other like the past two weeks?
"Yes, Lady Aonasyl." Butler Warren answered simply.
"I have a gift for you. I'll give it when I'll visit Aonaran later."
"Thank you, Lady. Your hair got longer than the last time." My eyes squinted and look at Syl's hair.
Is it?
Why does it look the same to me?
"You noticed it?! Wow! Old Ryu, your eyes are the best!" I sneered and open the door at the backseat and sit.
How come that the eyesight of an old man is greater than mine?
I scoffed and look at them through the mirror. I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw them look at each other and then laugh and clap their hands together.
They are making fun of me again!
I glared at my driver when he laugh. He cleared his throat when he look at the rearview mirror and saw me glaring at him.
"Young Miss, how's the party? Did you enjoy it?" I sighed and look away.
"They are still annoying." He smiled.
"Then, you must stay away from them if they make you annoyed." He suggested that made me laugh.
Butler Warren looks at us weirdly, wondering why we are happy.
"What is so funny, Young Miss? Mind sharing?" He look at me cheerfully but I pretend I did not hear anything and looked outside.
He stares at me for a few minutes before looking back and looking at the driver.
I even heard him asked the driver what we talked about but he just laugh and ignored him too.
I smirk before closing my eyes and sleeping.
I think it lasted for thirty minutes when I felt the car stop moving and someone opened my door. I'm half awake when someone pokes my cheeks and shakes my shoulder.
Assuming that it's Butler Warren I groaned and slap his hands.
"Old Warren, do you believe that I'll cut your hands? Let me sleep more!" I reprimanded him and curled up like a kid.
I could hear someone murmuring, laughing, and some like a light flashing on my face.
"Isn't she cute?"
"Ahm! Ahm!"
"Give me that picture!"
"Send it to me then you all delete it."
After that, I feel that someone lifted me but I'm really too sleepy and tired of dealing with people.
When I woke up, I'm already in my bed. The room is scarily dark but comforting.
I got up and open the lampshade on my bedside table and stood up.
I look at the time and it's almost dinner.
I did not think too much about who carried me since Butler Warren is with me, no one untrustworthy can touch or even go near me.
"Butler Warren, is Old Riana back?" I asked lazily and sat back on my bed.
The door opened and Butler Warren entered.
"Not yet. I heard she'll come back tomorrow since she's staying with the Madam." I shivered after hearing the word Madam.
My face grimace and I look at Butler Warren. "Why do I feel like Mother is planning something again?" He chuckled and sat beside me.
He stroked my cheeks gently. "Aonaran, your parents are doing those things for you. You might not understand them right now but someday, you will understand them. No parents want to hurt their child." I sighed softly and nodded.
"Old Warren, do you think I can reach that stage? Do you think I won't end up disappointing them?" He chuckled softly and shook his head.
"You'll be great." I smiled at him.
"Ok, I'll just take a bath." He nodded before he stood up and bowed his head before going out.
I went to my wardrobe and pick my pajamas.
If Old Riana is here, she would ask me to wear a sexy nightie and refrain me to wear pajamas. Usually, I only take a bath after taking dinner but since I sleep
I grab my towel and went to the bathroom and take a bath.
I was there for almost thirty minutes, the water is so warm and comforting that I almost didn't want to get up.
But when I get up, I almost tripped but luckily I was able to hold on to the sink but when I move again my hand slipped which made me hurt my hand.
I whimpered in pain and bit my lower lip, not letting any sound go out and causing another panic in the mansion.
After that, I went to my wardrobe and change clothes but while changing I heard some noise coming from my room.
"Butler Warren? Can you help me clasped my bra? I hurt my hand." My brows furrowed when I hear a loud sound like a crashing glass.
"Are you ok, Old Warren?" I worriedly asked as I put my bathrobe in hurry.
"Don't move! Wait for me, I'm coming!" I run towards the door but I heard a loud cough.
"I'm ok. I'm coming." I frowned when his voice is different.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Don't look at me when I enter, ok?" I find it weird, but I said yes and waited for him to come.
I seat on my sofa inside my wardrobe.
Actually, my wardrobe is divided into two. One side is full of clothes, shoes, and jewelry. While in front of it is the long sofa and only three single seats.
This usually happens. I am really clumsy that Butler Warren or Old Riana need to help me with changing clothes.
To be honest, I can't do anything without hurting myself or putting myself in trouble. In short, I'm really a klutz. The five idiots usually call me queen of klutz before and even said that maybe my second name is a klutz
Luckily, for the past few years, I'm slowly removing the klutz besides my name.
"Old Warren? What's taking you so long?" I asked but no one answered which made me suspicious.
I stood up from my sofa and decided to open the door. But before I could even open it, Butler Warren came in causing the door to slap my face hard.
"Aww! Butler Warren!" I shouted in pain.
I could see the concern on his face but in a split second when he saw my face that is gradually turning red, he laugh loudly which made me even more annoyed.
Hearing the commission inside. The five idiot bodyguards hurried in without even knocking.
My eyes widened in shock when I saw them.
I'm doomed.
"What happened?!" James.
"Where's the kidnapper?!" Lloyd.
"Tell me! I can kick him!" Von.
"I can call the police?" Biejay.
But when their eyes fell on me their eyes widened, unable to believe what they saw, and began to shout loudly.
I frowned and stared at them coldly.
