Keith took his seat beside Karen…
Why are you her Eric? I saw your name at the top table…
My girlfriend asked me to stay by her side so I switched with Kayla…
Karen smiled at the term girlfriend… This man really had no problem claiming her to the world…
Keith why are you seated at the back of the room?
I am not like you Eric … I have to sit wherever I am placed…
Eric nodded…
The party started with a Royal dance…
Laila had plans to ask Eric to be her partner but since he gave his seat up to Kayla she had to ask someone else… Laila was not in a good mood…
Lily who was not aware of Laila plans also had intentions on asking Eric to be her partner… She had to end up dancing with Laila ugly cousin from out of town… Lily frowned the entire time… Zac was very interest in Lily…
Zac was Laila cousin on or father side of the family… He had not experienced a lot of different relationships but he was interested in this woman…
Lily could sense Zac feelings because he kept rubbing on her back side… She was not interest in this man but she could use him to make Eric jealous… Eric has always been a jealous man and he never wanted anyone to touch his property…
Laila walked off the dance floor and walked to her seat… As she say she noticed her mom and uncle seated at the table next to her… Why was her uncle at her party? He can't see Karen at this party… She instantly started to worry… How was she going to execute her plan with her uncle Frank being at the party… She had to keep her hands clean… If anything happened everything would have to fall on Lily…
Seeing her entire family at the party cheered her up… She walked over to their table and greeted them all…
Frank was busy looking at his daughter sitting at the back of the room with Eric… He was not pleased that she was treated that way…
Frank noticed she was dressed so elegant in a dress she could definitely not afford… Eric must have purchased the dress… He smiled… He was starting to get a better impression of the young man…
Uncle Frank I am so excited to have you at my party… Mom didn't tell me you would be coming… Did you come to surprise me? Am I getting that Bentley Truck I asked for? She looked at him with sad eyes…
You will have to wait and see darling… I do have a huge surprise for you that I will announce later…
Karen could not get over the feeling that someone was watching her at the party… Eric I want to dance will you take me to the dance floor…
Sure sweetheart…
They walked to the dance floor and Eric hugged her waist…. They were dancing and she noticed Laila talking to a man in a wheelchair… Why does this man look familiar? I have seen this man before but I can't place where…
Eric who is that man Laila is talking to over there… That man is Frank and he is Laila uncle… Karen eyes went huge…
Do Frank have any children?
No Frank do not have any children. He has helped to raise Laila… So she would be the closet thing to his daughter…
Karen could feel a tingle in her heart… I thought he was someone else…
Karen continued to look at that man but she finally went back to her seat…
She would have to look at the photo of her parents once she went home for the memorial… She just had a very weird feeling every time she looked at that man…
