Its time for Lianna to get ready for the big ball today, after Rose drove her home she got straight into the bathtub where her maids shampooed and conditioned her hair that had a vanilla scent. Lianna scrubbed her body with Himalayan pink salt with a rose scent.
after she got out of the top the maids handed her dress to put on it was a navy blue that was tight at the chest and dropped to four inches above her knee. The sleeves were made of silk and the dress was silk as well. The back of the dress was exposed showing her entire back. Her long light brown hair was given highlights at the tips and were straightened flat as a board and pure golden small hoop earrings and to top it off were her black velvet high heels. She went down stairs with her speech in her hand inside of a envelope with a circle of pink wax sealing it. Her father wanted everything to look nice.
"dad I dont understand why we need to host this ball your already a ceo of your own company whats so great about his one"
"because darling, if daddy makes the man happy I will be the ceo of his new company, you see this man is very rich and famous, if I make a good impression me and him will team up, we will even be in the newest magazine of top ten richest men alive, I will be so rich."
''So your just greedy then"
*slap*
"dont ever say that to me again if it wasn't me you would be on the streets with your mother."
" ya and if it wasnt for you mom wouldnt have to live on the streets!"
Liannas father tried to slap her again by she got away too quickly and ran into the ballroom to mingle. Liannas father will not forget what she said but he cant do anything to her right so he will have to wait until after the party.
As the guests talked and danced hours went by on end, Lianna was just sitting down on her chair bored out of her mind till one stranger walked up to her.
"may I have this dance?"
"yo..you may"
The two strangers danced with one another while awkwardness filled the air in between the both of them.
"mind telling me your name my beauty"
"My name is Lianna and I am no beauty"
"Never lie to yourself my beauty, my name is"
*ding* *ding*
Made the sound of Liannas father banging a metal spoon on a beer that he was drinking.
"I think its time for a little toast that my only daughter has written for this very night, go up there Lianna dont be shy now"
"oh my god I am so sorry we will have to carry on this conversation later"
"of course"
"um so this, what I wrote here is to my father." "Father you have been with me every step of the way, through thick and thin, uh... you always had my back even when others didnt you showed me how a man should treat his wife and how parent should treat their child, I only hope for the best and that you keep this family moving so that it may never be broken. cheers"
*clap* *clap*
Applause filled the room after Liannas speech, she looked to her father and even though it might seem that he was smiling their was still anger in his eyes for what she said to him about her mom. Lianna looked every where for that mysterious man but after her speech he was gone!? She looked every where for him but he just wasn't here.
Everything was such the blur after that night she couldn't even recall that mans face the only guy that came into her head was her father, thats right he was supposed to punish her yesterday for what she said to him, see Liannas father drank a lot that night and it was a first time in a long time that he got this drunk, and when he was an angry drunk.
He used to be an alcoholic so he really wasn't supposed to be drinking that night. The person who helped him stop drinking was his wife, since she wasn't there she couldn't stop him. Lianna was in her room when her father barged in while she was still in her underwear, he came in screaming and slapped her hard across the face then grabbed her hair and through her to the ground and she fell on her stomach. And he first called her an ungrateful bitch and then she started to cry and so he left the room.
Even though what he did was wrong she couldn't stay mad at him, she understood that he was drunk. Which does not excuse what he did but she excused it anyway.
