EIRA POV:
I felt like someone had pulled the rug out from under me. I can't believe what I just heard.
He knows about DNA tests, but how? How did he know it? Cliara! he will kill her? Her child? I felt cold tears start to gush down my face.
No! No! I can't crumble down like this. I told myself, I will not let that rascal harm her, and wiped my tears with the back of my hand.
I have to talk to Adrain about this, but he will not listen to me. Oh! God! What should I do now? I will go to the engagement party. I won't let anything happen to Cliara and her child, but how will I go there.
"Are you stupid?"
"Is this time to come? Keep all items in the canteen, fast!!"-The canteen manager was roaring at a poor worker.
I know what I have to do.
....
I look very different in this dress. I am not a fan of short skirts. I was feeling very uncomfortable, and these stupid heels. Oh! God, it's so difficult to walk in them. Thanks to this mask, I hope no one recognizes me here.
"Are you blind!! How can you leave a spot on cloth."-A loud shrill yell broke my thought.
It was a mid-aged person with mustaches full of anger.
He said, holding a collar of the poor waiter-"I will kill you if you did, another mistake."
"It's Mr. Peter Dawn's engagement. I won't tolerate a single mistake."
"I don't care what guest says. You will do as they say."
"I don't want to hear a single complain."
"Fast, Everyone!! Today is a special day for our hotel."-he yelled, and everyone starts moving fast.
"Hey! you.."
I looked up to see he was calling me.
"Yes! Sir.."
"You are the new waitress. Right!"
"Yes! Sir."
"Where are you going?"
Sir, I was..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear an excuse. Go out and serve drinks to people."
ADRAIN POV:
"Claira! Let's go."-I said, unbuckling the seat belt, but she was not moving. She seems lost somewhere.
"Claira! Claira!.."
"Adrain! I am a lot scared."
"What if he did something to my child?"
She said in a fearful and panicked voice- "I don't want to do this. I want to go home."
"Claira! Calm Down! Nothing will happen to you and your child."-She wasn't looking at me.
I took her hand and said-"Look at me! I promise you this."
"You have to be strong for you and your child."-I said calmly, and she didn't say anything for 5 minutes, then she said-"Let's go! Adrain."
I held her tightly, and we entered the party. I guess the whole college is here. The dress code of the party was a black and blue dress with a mask.
I took her upstairs to a different room and closed the door.
"You sit here and take a rest."
"I will call you as the engagement starts."
"You don't need to open the door for anyone."
"I have the key. I will open the door."
She didn't reply and just nodded her head, and I just went out.
I took out the key from my pocket and gave it to a waiter.
"You know what to do."
"Do! a single mistake, and I will kill you with my bare hands."- I said, intimating him and making him gulp a ball of saliva.
As I was about to enter the hall, a hand stopped me from behind. I turned to see it was Peter.
"Hi! Man! I hope you are enjoying the party."-He said, hugging me from the side.
"So, where is my gift?"
"You will get it soon. Just have patience."
"Beleive me! You won't forget this gift in your life."-I whispered in his ear and walked away.
I was passing near a Huge Sculpture of a loving couple at the side when a different aura of smell hit my nostril.
EIRA POV:
I was serving drinks to people, but my eyes were searching Claira. I was soo engrossed in searching here and there. I didn't know who was in front of me. As I looked straight, I saw Adrain walking in my direction, but he was not looking at me. So I decided to look down and pass through him. As I was just about to pass through him completely, a hand gripped my arm tightly and pulled me behind the sculpture, making me gasp from a sudden action. I didn't realize I was holding my breath.
"What are you doing here?"-He asked, gritting his teeth, pulling me toward himself, making my face hit his chest.
"I ...Claira.."
"I told you to stay home."-He said in a harsh voice.
"Adrain...Peter, he knows about DNA tests."
"Claira's life is at risk."
"It doesn't matter. When I told you to stay at home, you stay."
"You are going home!"-He said, dragging me.
"Please! Adrain, I can't leave Claira."
"He is dangerous! Eira. You are going ."
"Why do you care?"
He starts, moving toward me, and then he hit the wall behind me with his hand and left.
ADRAIN POV:
She is making me go crazy. She has no idea how much hazardous that jerk can be, but Why do I care? She is right! Why should I care? Let her do what she wants? I don't care about her.
"What are you doing alone here?"
I want to kill this jerk right now.
"Yes! Let's go."
"Let me show you the party of Peter Dawn."-He said, taking me toward the bar and handing me a drink.
I was sitting on the sofa, and he was busy flirting with girls.
"Look at her, Man! She looks awesome."
"She is hot!!."
"I want to see her face, Man."
I heard a few drunk yards near me talking about a girl. I turned to see whom they are talking about, but as I saw her face. I felt larva erupting inside me.
"Yeah! Man, she is awesome."
"Man, she looks so beautiful."
"skirts look so good on her."
"She is mine tonight."
"I will take her with me tonight. No one can stop me."
As I heard what he said, I fisted my hand tightly. I kept the glass on the table soo I don't break it. It was taking everything in me not to break his neck. I want to quench my thirst with his blood.
"You both wait here. Let me go! first."
"I will touch her first."
EIRA POV:
Oh! God! I don't want to serve these drunk people, but that manager's angry face doesn't let me speak. This smell is soo disgusting. When will Tessy come here? Where is Claira?
"Hey! You Waitress! Come here."-A hoarse voice broke me out from thought. It was Adrain.
His face was dark red, the vein in the middle of his forehead was throbbing, and his jaw clenched. When my eyes meet his rage-filled eyes, a cold shiver spread in my body, giving me goosebumps.
What has happened? Why he looks soo angry?
"Serve my friends a drink."-He said, pointing his hand towards a few drunk yards that were staring at me with a disgusting smile.
I nodded my head, moving toward them, then suddenly I got tripped up on someone's leg. I was about to fall, but before I could fall, A hand wrapped around my waist, saving me from touching the ground. I held a shoulder for support in a reflex, making my tray fall and all-glass break with a loud crash sound. As I looked upward, I meet Adrain's eyes staring at me with rage, and his grip on my waist was firm.
"What the hell is happening here?"
A loud yelling made us move away from each other. It was Manager.
"I...Sir I ..."
"What type of staff do you keep?"-My sentence was cut off by Adrain's exasperated voice.
"They can't even serve a proper drink."
"I am sorry! Sir."
"I don't need your sorry! Just fire her right now.''
"What?...No! Sir..."
"Someone tripped me with afoot "-I said, glaring at him.
"I don't want to listen to anything. You are, fired!!"
I can't believe it!!.. He tripped me!!!...
