Lia couldn't keep her mouth shut .
She kept staring at those rich women , teens carrying loads of bag and cards with them.
For her this place was Satan's home .
"Why you took me here ?? this the best mall in whole country!!! I have a Small amount of money with and I doubt that I can buy even an ice cream here ." lia was agitate.
Arran laughed and pulled out her black cards and gave one to lia " I was never interested in wasting money earlier. let's give my granny little joy , when she See's money being reduced" lia scoffed " nobody likes to see their account balance being reduced " to which Arran laughed "well you haven't met the desperate granny of mine who would love to see her balance being reduced if her daughter buys clothes for the first time" with this Arran dragged lia towards the Gothic clothes section.
"Wait " lia halted
"What happened?"
"Look I am sorry, I am not financially capable in paying you back so -"
Arran hugged lia " you dumb girl , I don't need your money I have a lot of zeros in my account . What I need is companion and that's the only way you can pay me back" Arran let lia go dragged her toward Gothic store
****
after spending 1 hour at one store with 5 bags full of black clothes lia and Arran argued as they came out of the store
"please lia just carry one of my bag... aiyo its so heavy!" Arran had 4 heavy bags.
"nope I won't , I told ya not to go ballistic when you see those new leather jackets and boots I am not at fault and you are from the military family , come on show me your strength" lia casually walked out there were few who stared at them . Arran's identity was anonymous to most of the people. Very few have seen her face thus the rich women stared towards the duo with curious eyes .
Arran huffed and and dragged lia towards the most fashionable and best store called THE SPIRIT they have some of the most beautiful pieces and their brand is renowned around the world .
The entrance was also grand and beautiful oriental design was displayed across the showroom.
Arran dragged lia towards the gown section .
"W-w-ait .... is it important to wear gown?? "
Arran used her duh tone and said "were you thinking of wearing boxers and tee??"
"yes .....uh well .....noooo but ..... can we wear it??" lia asked
"no"
"…"
with this Arran dragged lia towards the assistant
"hello today we are looking for the winter ball gown ..... can you recommend us some ?"
An old lady turned towards them and smiled
"yes of course ! can I ask your budget?"
"100 yuan" lia spoke
the old lady and Arran turned towards her in shock .
Arran spoke swiftly " ha ha ha she was just Kidding ha ha ha we don't have any budget show us your best pieces ha ha ha "
"oh .... sure come with us I will show you some of the best pieces " with this the assistant lead them towards the gown .
"are you mad " Arran whispered-yelled
"what !? I only have 150 yuan " lia whispered back .
"then why the hell you have the black card?" Arran whispered back .
while they were having their whisper fight the sales lady brought few exquisite gown with her .
" here are some of the gowns that I think will fit you so miss can you go in the changing room and try these ?" she pointed towards lia and walked her towards the room .
First dress was flowing white gown with beautiful designs .
" how is the first dress?" Arran yelled from outside
" Nah its too marriagegy type "
"what ?? okay try another one "
lia tried one after the other she found one too tight, another too flashy , next one barely covered her .
All in all , she couldn't find a decent dress .
"well lia since you don't like any of them let's come back another day , there is 6 days still left for the ball" Arran buyed and tried a lot of dresses while lia struggled and gave her critique on each and every dress .
" yea I agree let's go " although the old lady was disappointed that lia didn't buyed any of the dresses but still she liked the girl and her deep critique .
****
" what do you wanna eat chocolate ice cream or vanilla?? " Arran asked after a long tiring shopping .
"Vanilla" lia replayed a small smile crept on her face as she remembered her old days with Rita when they used to skip classes and eat ice cream.
"sure you sit here I will go and bring one"
"su-" lia stopped abruptly
her breathing became heavy she began to suffocate and shake , her eyes watered while they also turned red with anger.
Standing across her was aaxin li someone, whom she won't forget ever in her life .
"lia !! are you all right?? oh my god I think that you are having a panic attack hold your breath for few seconds it will help you" Arran holded her arm while she called her family Butler for help .
All lia could see was red .
How can she forget the face of the snake who acted like a young and fragile girl but only lia knew what was her true colors.
After all it was the mother daughter duo that ordered the goons to rape her mother.
Aaxin was busy chatting with one of her female friends , lia could see clearly that she was flaunting her assets by wearing such reveling dress.
Lia had a good life with a caring father and amazing mother.
Until ,..... they came
aaxin and lia were best friends till the AGR of 12. They used to go to shopping in this very same mall. They used to have night stay at each others home.
Aaxin and her mother usually used to sit at their while the mothers chatted , aaxin and lia used to spend lia's money on online shopping.
Her Father and mother began to have fights on various things. And all of this started when aaxin and her mother began to frequently come home. And due to this her father used to stay out of the house . The bond between them started to thin out.
One day a huge fight broke out early morning while lia was still asleep . She walked down the stairs and to her horrors saw her mother's dress torn while she was crying and pointing aaxin's mother.
"Believe me raun I didn't sell my body please this is a set up by her" her mother cried while her father stood there holding aaxin and her mother's hand.
"Are you sure that you were not there at the bar previous night??" her father shouted
"yes I was but be- "
SLAP
lia stood there watching the drama spun by the snakes unfold .
She has seen aaxin's mother giving seductive glance to her father . She has seen them going to her father's bedroom at night while her mother slept .
She has seen them taking the hold of her house and her father .
While next day aaxin's real father was dead because of car crash , a day after throwing her and her mother out of the same home they lived for more than 12 years.
****
it seemed that fate was not kind to lia that day .
Aaxin turned her head towards lia , her eyes were wide with shock . she then slithered towards them while Lia stood there with red eyes and fist ready to punch.
Aaxin smirked " I never expected to see you Lilith "
