Chapter 10 - Chapter-10 : Pride

"What are you doing ?" Lisa shouted , all the people in the party are looking at her .

"Miss Lisa , didn't your parents teach you about basic manners? Then , how about I teach you?" I glared at her , while took another glass of wine from a waiter who was passed by. She was startled to see I'm taking another wine glass and she bit her lower lips in anger . She looked around everyone.

"Don't involve my parents . You're not worthy of teaching me and someone like you don't deserve Arthur." she yelled in front of everyone. Again this nonsense. Why is she always talking about that old man , when in this joyous fight? She spoiled my mood for fun.

"Is that so ? So what , Atleast he married me . What about you , Lisa ?." I chuckled . I can smell her internal burning . She clenched her fists and stood there silently.

"I can make you kneel down and apologize to me , in front of everyone . Want to see it?" I smirked .

"What the hell you're..." she said but I cut off her sentence.

"Honey , she is bullying me." I clinged into Arthur's arms , who was coming in front of me. He was surprised for a moment , but he understood quickly and continued with the acting.

"Who the hell is dare to bully my wife here?" his voice thundered the party hall and the people are looking at us. He came near me and stroked my hair .

"Tell me , who is it ? I'll make sure they won't open their eyes by tomorrow morning" It was like a sweet voice only for me ; Others are shivering like it's their death sentence.

"Mr. Howard , Is there any trouble? " a weak and stern voice echoed . It was Lisa's grandfather.

"Grandpa , It's her fault", Lisa sobbed and pointed her index finger at me in front of her grandpa .

"Do you know who are you pointing your fingers at ?" Arthur frowned .

"Mr. Howard , I'm sorry for her rude behaviour." Richard bowed politely.

"My wife is not someone , you guys can simply point your fingers at and be disrespectful towards her . Miss Lisa , I hope you won't forget about this "; he showed her a death glare. Her eyes felt his cold gaze and she started to shiver and hid behind her grandfather.

"Lisa , apologize to Mrs. Howard ," Richard glared at her.

"Grandpa..." she was cut off in the mid - sentence .

"Why should my daughter apologize , when she is the one , who is a victim here?" a lady in her forties said and walked towards us.

"Momm," Lisa sobbed and hugged her.

"Clara , what are you talking about ? ," Richard yelled at her , while Arthur is frowning at her .

"Dad, can't you tell just by seeing this ? Our Lisa is completely covered with wine , while her clothes are drenched a little bit . It's clear that our Lisa is the victim here." Clara said and looked at me , by folding her arms on the waist .

"Oh , it seems Mrs. Clara is not in a clear mind today. Then I shall put some sense into it ." I smirked and went near her . I put on the same act like her daughter did to me . I stumbled upon my feet on purpose and poured the wine in her dress.

"Oh my , I'm so sorry; I hope Mrs. Clara isn't petty enough to hold this matter against me." I smiled at her , Lisa's eyes widened after hearing my words.

What are you going to do now ? Of course , I know, it's either way my win.

"You!" she shouted at me ."Everyone see this , just because she's royalty she is humiliating us publicly." she said in a loud voice , thinking of humiliating me , but everyone here knows about Lisa's actions towards me was the same. Lisa is holding her arm into her mother and eyeing her to back down . But she didn't realise it . Whatever it's your loss.

People started to whisper about this . There was an evil smile on the corner of Clara lips , thinking it's their win.

"So you're saying I have to kneel and apologize , because I humiliated you on purpose in front of everyone . isn't it?" I smirked.

"Yes , you have to give respect to others, even if you're a royal", she said arrongantly , Arthur moved forward but I stopped him by holding his hands. How can I spoil this atmosphere , when the fish took it's bait.

"Then , " I tilted my head and looked at Lisa , who's is standing behind Clara ."Kneel and beg for my forgiveness . Maybe I change my mind to cancel your punishment," I looked down at her and said in a eerie voice . Clara shocked by hearing my voice . Did she think I'm a coward to get bullied by you people?

"What are you saying , You have to.."

"CLARA , ENOUGH ", Richard cut -off in the mid-sentence and yelled at her.

We can hear the words like 'shameless' are pointed at them by the crowd . Clara eye's widened in surprise , when they are pointing those words at her daughter and she understood that her daughter was the first one to start this one . But she didn't want to admit her mistake .She came forward to question me again but she was stopped by Richard's cold glare.

"Do you think punishment is better than apologizing to someone like me , who isn't worthy of Arthur. Well , I don't mind ." I chuckled and Arthur catched my words quickly and acted.

"Lisa , How dare you say this to my wife ? She's the one I love and respect ; and the one I decided to marry so Please. Be. Mindful. Of. Your. Words. Or else you can forget about your tongue for your rest of life ." He is warning her openly , but his voice was serious for a moment. I thought he really loved me for second.

'Stop Dreaming , Augusta.' After hearing his voice , her tears are rolling down from the eyes like a opened faucet . I think she has some sense , she kneeled immediately and bit her lower lips .

" I'm..Sorr.ry" she shattered and said in a low voice.

"Miss Lisa , I can't hear you ; say it loudly." I said by folding my arms in my waist.

"I'm SORRY" she shouted and lowered her head and clenched her fists.

"I think you read the room quickly and you're not a fool like someone I know ." I smiled , but Arthur knew who I meant . Of course it's his mistresses. How can he doesn't know about it?

I didn't said anything like forgive or stand up . I just left her and backed to Arthur's side. He holded my hand , maybe because of the crowd I think . I looked at Richard ,he was bowing at me politely . I nodded at him and we left the party hall .

"Why didn't you give her punishment?" Arthur asked me while gripped my hand tightly and gritting his teeth.

"You're hurting me , Mister" I stopped and said to him.

"I'm sorry." he released his hands quick and looked at me worriedly.

"Are you hungry ? Shall I book a restaurant ?" he asked me.

"We shall first get out of this party ." I sighed .

"Okay , Ellios . Prepare the car and connect me to Liam ." he said and talked with Liam about some matters , but I was too tired to listen his conversation.

Car arrived at the door , I didn't wait for Arthur to escort me , I sat down on the back seat and rested my face on the glass of window. Arthur finished his call and sat beside me. He said a restaurant name , but I've never heard about it .

Them we arrived at small restaurant in a narrow path , where there are less crowds. He took my hand gently and led me to the hotel . It wasn't extravagant like I thought . It was simple but eye catching decoration.

"It's my favorite place , when I was studying in the college . I hope you won't mind eating here", he smiled at me . I thought he was overbearing ; but he is somehow looks like me. 'What I'm saying these stupid things?'

"Waiter , we're ordering the normal set for two people" he said and looked at me.

"Don't worry , it will suit your taste perfectly" he smiled.

"okay" I said and sipped the water in front of me.

The dishes were served , it was delicious . I've never tasted anything like this before ; I forgot about arthur and ate happily. He chuckled and realised he was staring and already finished his dishes.

"Can we drink ?" he asked me

"Why are you asking me ? I'm not your drink buddy." I stated.

"It's not like you've to drink only with your drink buddies. Don't tell me you've a low tolerance to alcohol", he laughed at me.

"I have a great tolerance than you. Do you want to see?" I said without thinking , because I was pissed off by his laugh. ( she doesn't have tolerance to alcohol)

"Great ,then . Waiter , Bring us Alcohol." he said and gave me a crafty smile.

We started to drink and I blacked out . I had a great alcohol tolerance , how can it be... (Thump*)

'Hmmm...Gosh what is this? My head is aching ,is it because of the Alcohol. It's bright. I closed my eyes with one hand and my other hand touched a sturdy thing.

It's like a man. Why, there is man in my bed. What ?

I opened my eyes and looked it was Arthur , who is naked lying beside me.

"Shit..."
