Chapter 7: The reunion part 1
My feet healed after three days. In those three days, I stayed inside my room and never get out. I only instructed Butler Warren to bring food to the children and that's it.
The reunion was also moved today. Luckily, I'm healed so I could go.
I've thought very hard in those three days. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe my father agreed that they should be my bodyguard so I could take my revenge.
Or it is just my wishful thinking.
But it doesn't matter, I'll make them realize how stupid their decisions are. I'll make them regret entering my life again.
I've never really thought of taking revenge but since they find me there self then I don't have a reason not to.
They came here willingly which made me feel insulted. They should feel guilty to face me or even get near me but they all acted like it is me who wronged them. They shamelessly entered our house without remorse.
"Young Miss, the car is ready." I nodded stood up from my bed and wear my beanie to hide my butterfly barrette
Luckily, Old Riana went somewhere today so she can't scold me for wearing jeans and t-shirts.
In her opinion, it is unladylike. My mother agreed with her and bought a lot of dresses and put away all my jeans and shirts. Even my sneakers were not safe at all!
But Butler Warren is really considerate he hide some of them and let me wear them when Old Riana is not around.
The door opened by the bodyguards outside my room as my heels clicked on the floor I slowly lift my head and saw four gorgeous men standing outside, waiting for me.
My brows furrowed when I saw their clothes. A pair of black ripped jeans, black t-shirts, and sneakers. Some of them wear sunglasses too.
Where's the sun, bro?
I was about to go back and change clothes but Domenicus stop me by greeting me. "Good morning, Young Miss." I look at him and nodded.
"Young Miss?" James blurted out in surprise how their friends address me.
"Any problem with that?" I asked coldly that made him stop and look at me terrified.
He shook his head and look at his friends, they just shushed him and glared at him.
"G-good morning, Young Miss." He stuttered, still can't believe what was happening.
I smirk.
Same old James.
James is the dumbest in their group. He is like a kid who only focuses on foods and cute things. He likes adventures and fun things. So, probably he did not listen when my father discussed things with them or he did not even know why he is here and why did he end up here. They must have fooled him again.
Poor him.
They all followed me towards the stairs. Butler warren is beside me as the maids are on the line again, heads bowing while greeting me.
"Wow! I feel like I'm dreaming!" James said in amazement.
"Want me to slap you to confirm it?" I asked as I glance at him.
"Aona! Why are you being rude to me? We are friends before, you can't treat me like this!" He shamelessly said and went beside me.
He pouted and offered me his candy.
I stared at it.
Years ago, I and them are close. We used to hang out and do things that normal teenagers do but things changed when they betrayed me.
And before, when I'm sad or upset at something he would always offer his candies to me telling me that with sweets, it can lift my mood.
"Are we?" I asked and walk faster. He was left there, too stunned to follow me.
I could hear them scolding him but I did not mind.
AT THE RESTAURANT
"Young Miss, please behave later. If you need me I'm just one call away." Butler Warren said and look at me with worry.
"Don't worry about me Butler Warren, you know what I can do." He sighed heavily and shook his head.
"Exactly Yong Miss! I'm worried about what you'll do to them. Please do not overdo it or else Riana will kill us." He look at me pleadingly which made me chuckle.
"You are just scared of Old Riana!" I accused him and nudge at him.
"And you are not?"
I stop laughing and cleared my throat. "I'm going!" I walk fast even though he was calling but I ignored him!
There's no way I'm admitting it! Though my actions said it all.
I was about to enter the elevator when I heard James's voice.
"Aona, wait!" I sighed and enter the elevator and waited for them.
They look at me shocked and run like a stupid dog who saw its master.
I smirk. "Come puppies, come to master." They stop on their tracks while looking at me with their widened eyes.
I smirk evilly and push the close button before waving at them goodbye.
Serves you right, jerks!
As soon as I get out, I knew I have fooled again.
How cheap.
Everything I could see is extravagant yet elegant. The big chandelier is worth mentioning. It was so big that it caught my attention the first time I step here, and it is familiar. The interior designs are Spanish era and based on it I knew exactly who tried to fool me.
Too bad, I'm not the only one she fooled.
I leaned next at the elevator door while tapping my hands against the wall.
I was really a badass bitch before. I'm always in detention or the principal office because I've been causing a lot of trouble but they can't kick me out since I've been giving them a lot of benefits. I'm really good at my studies and have a lot of talents and besides, we owned the school.
So, it's normal that I have a lot of haters and my batch is not excluded.
I did not wait long because minutes passed when they arrived.
"Hi! Let's go together!" They look shocked but they recovered fast and look at me suspiciously.
"I'm sensing a bad spirit from you!" James shouted and point his finger at me.
The three idiots nodded while Domenicus is just staring at me indifferently. I did not mind and ignored him.
"Didn't your mother lecture you that pointing at someone is a bad thing?" I said and raises my eyebrow.
"Didn't you leave first? Why are you still here?" Lloyd asked, one of the bodyguards and three idiots.
"Your fans are stupid." I simply said and leave them behind.
They followed me and seconds later, James is walking beside me and talking about random things while I remained silent.
Tired of talking to himself, he eventually stop and stayed quiet.
I thought it would last long but he is James after all, he can't live in silence.
"Why are you wearing a beanie? Are you sick?" I frowned.
Does only sick people can wear a beanie?
"Why are you wearing sunglasses? Does the light too much for you?" He pouted and grab the hem of my shirt.
"Bully!"
"Childish."
I frowned when I heard their silent laughter but I could still hear their chuckles no matter how much they hide it.
I totally forget about them.
James is really talkative.
We all stop when we face the door for the party.
I did not know what happened to the restaurant and simple reunion. But who cares? We are here already.
I glance at James and he instantly understand it and cheerfully opened the door.
This is it...
The party is starting
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.
