The car screeched up into the parking lot. Damian had taken me to a beauty parlour forcibly and had me glamoured up like a queen. The heavy jewelries, the weighty dress, the fake smile, they were all suffocating. My whole life was suffocating.
I blinked back my tears as I came down the car. The gown I was wearing was royal blue, designed with diamonds. It was handless but an animal fur scarf was around my shoulder. The gown had a tearing from above me knee almost exposing my laps. My hair was bathed in expensive shampoo and was styled beautifully.
I took deep breaths, trying not to think of escaping.
The scent of elites filled the air. Though where the party was being held was a long distance from the parking lot, I could see the was they talked, walked and smiled.
'I can't fit in here, what if I go in and embarrass myself'.
"Mam, sir said I should come get you" one of Damian's men wearing a black suit walked up to me.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"He's attending to some guests" the man respectfully nodded.
"Okay" I braced myself and followed him into the grand hall.
As I came closer my heartbeat quickened.
I stopped at the door, took in deep breaths and went in.
I stood awkwardly at a side trying to find Damian.
"You look good" a voiced echoed behind me.
I turned back only to see Vanessa smirking.
"I've always looked good" I fired back.
"How wouldn't you, all you poor slut know how to do is to sleep with people's husband and seduce them into marrying you" she said and spat almost on my heel.
I instantly got furious and flung the red wine on the table next to me on her cream color ball gown.
The crowd that had slowly gathered gasped.
Vanessa look at me with raging eyes and walked forward trying to lunch at me. In the process of trying to grab my shirt she slipped but I caught her by her hair bringing her ear more closer to my lips with it.
"Now let me warn you, don't you ever talk to me that way again or else it won't be good for you. Pick on someone your size" I whispered to her, my tone dripped with anger.
I pushed her away by the head. The continuous gasped and chuckle from the guest increased as Vanessa father came closer.
"Hey, you brat how dare you do that to my daughter?" Vanessa's dad marched forward in anger.
"Dad, dad she pulled my hair, she ruined my dresss" she sobbed and honestly her sobbing was quit convincing.
I almost fell for it. The guest slowly started taking her sides saying ' how could she do such a thing'. 'Just cause she's Mr grants wife she thinks she has the right to cause a scene'.
The murmurs were clearly heard by me.
Vanessa's dad with weak skeepy eyes walkes up to me furiously.
"Apologies to her now" he said pulling my hair from behind with so much force I could feel my scalp coming off.
The guest gasped as he dragged me with my hair to Vanessa who was standing proudly putting on her pitiful expression.
Suddenly, Vanessa's father went tumbling to the floor, his nose bleeding.
Damian walked passed me angrily to where Vanessa father was holding his nose.
A shocked look appeared on Vanessa's fathers face when he saw it was Damian who hit him.
Vanessa's father looked passed him to where his parents were standing.
"Mr . . Mr grant, your son, look at what he's doing " he said holding his bleeding nose.
Mr and Mrs grant lowered their gaze helplessly. They had no idea what their obedient loyal dog had become.
Vanessa's expression darkened. She continued her pitiful expression, crying, begging, all so pathetic.
Damian squated to Vanessa's father level on the ground. "If you ever touch my wife again, that will be the end of you" he stood up. Fear was evident in Vanessa's father's eyes.
Damian walked up to me and pulled me by my waist out I'd the scene.
My heart melted a little from the way he defened me back there. The way he stood up for me like no one ever had. 'Maybe he wasn't all bad' I thought to myself.
When we were a reasonable distance away from the commotion, Damian squeeze my hand, his sharp fingernails piercing into my skin like a knife.
"Let me warm you, if you ever try to create a scene like this again, I'll make sure you never see sunlight again" he said and walked away from me clearly pissed. I felt cold shiver ran down my spine at his words.
'Yh he was totally evil' I whispered grabbing my wrist that looked like it been pierced by knives.
"Hey friend, today we celebrated the blissful reunion between our prince, Damian and his princess, Ava" the guest cheered then Damian walked up to the stage.
"I'm going to go straight to the point. Since today is a very important day of my life I'd like to inform you all that I'm withdrawing all my holdings and assistant to all Mr Grants empire, thank you" he nodded and walked down the stage.
There were silent gasps in the air and the shock on Damian's parents fave was undescribable.
Damian walked down to be confronted by his fathers raging self.
"Have you gone out of your mind, I can accept any nonsense you decide to do but not this one. This is outrageous" his father roared at him.
Damian didn't look moved, instead, annoyed
"And what will you do about it" he asked playing with the car key in his hand.
"Do you think you'll be able to survive without us?" he asked with an evil chuckle.
"Well, I'll do more than just survive, I'll trive" Damian said and walked out if him.
"Talk to your son Fiona, something's gotten into him, if he continues this attitude I'll tell the truth to every one" he threatened Mrs grant and walked away annoyed.
Damian stood in the center if the party, eyes searching for Ava. He looked around but couldn't find her.
There was something strange, her scent it was growing distant. Damian had strangely grasped her scent and could tell when she was around.
'Where is she' he whispered slightly worried. He went around asking guest and even announced it but no one had seen her seen her.
Damian scratched his head in frustration "what if they've found her" he whispered to himself and rested his aching head on the Pilar behind him.
