Chapter 5 - Party 3

Not that he had any sickness, but Skylar has a weird kink for cleanliness. He watched as Diana poured her vomit on his face down to his hips. The vomit coupled with the alcohol gave a really bad smell that made Skylar scrunch his nose in disgust.

"Get off me you freak," Skylar said as he pushed Diana to the floor.

"Ouch," Diana said as she landed on her buttocks, "I was about to call you handsome but I won't, instead of Mr handsome I'll call you Mr violent because you pushed me violently" Diana scoffed pouting her small pink lips.

Skylar just walked past her into the bathroom to wash up leaving her to continue saying her rubbish.

After a while, Skylar no longer heard her voice again so he thought she must have left already to go disturb someone else. He took his precious time scrubbing every inch of his body as he still smelled her vomit regardless of it not being there anymore. "Like father like daughter" he sneered, "always getting on my nerves" he scrubbed even harder.

He came out of the bathroom, drying his hair while walking towards the wardrobe. He wore a random top and trousers and headed towards the bed only to be frightened by the human on his bed. He didn't show it but he was shocked at the sight of Diana sleeping comfortably on the bed, she even found her way under the duvet.

Skylar went to the other side of the bed and laid down while turning off the lamp. He had no other choice. Even if he wanted to kick her off the bed, he just let her be.

...

It was late already and everyone present at the party had started to disperse one by one. Mr. Sylvester searched for Diana for over ten minutes but he could not find a trace of her anywhere. He even asked the twins about out her whereabouts but they did not know either. Just then a thought struck. 'Maybe she hooked up with some rich guy' A wide smile settled on his lips "if I was not mistaken I saw her with Philip Brookes, this is wonderful".

In the world of business, after the Fisher's corp, the Second will be the Creed group and the third will be the Evergreen group which belonged to Philip. Like Skylar, Philip built his company from scratch without the help of his parents regardless of how rich they were. No one knows why he decided to build a gaming company instead of inheriting his family's three-generation multi-million company.

To top it all Philip was an actor, a world-renowned actor, the whole country knows his name, from the youngest to the oldest, making him the most influential actor in the country. With all these qualities, Mr. Sylvester couldn't hide the joy that emanated from this great discovery as he deemed it. Mr. Sylvester was all smiles as he headed home.

Kate had been standing at the door hoping to see her daughter walk in fine and put together. Diana might not show it but she is hurting inside and Kate knows. Diana might seem like a happy-go-lucky girl but she's hurting, and this has Kate worried and concerned about what's going on in her baby girl's head.

When she saw the car approaching she was relieved but Mr. Sylvester came down alone only to dash her hope.

The fact that He came back alone spoke volumes. This man could do anything to amass more wealth even if it meant selling his daughter.

"Where's Diana?" Kate asked as soon as Mr. Sylvester reached the front door. Mr. Sylvester kept mute and continued walking into the living room.

"I said where is my daughter" Kate yelled. She could not control the rage that was building up in one corner of her chest. Mr. Sylvester was shocked as Kate rarely raises her voice. His ever-so-loving Kate raised her voice because of a stupid girl. Mr. Sylvester smirked before saying, "she's putting that body of hers to good use".

"What?" Kate asked in disbelief. "This your daughter we're talking about. You want to sell your precious daughter because of money?"

"You should be grateful I provide all that needs to be provided for her. I give her all the money she wants, a good education, the latest brand of clothes and the best cars out there. I gave her an identity and you dare spew this rubbish. She's just putting herself to use. All those money I've invested on her, she's paying back so just stay put and don't get all emotional" Mr. Sylvester said as he turned back to go Into his room.

"How can you ask for payment in raising your child?!." Kate asked in disbelief but Mr. Sylvester was already out of the living room.

Kate didn't know how such heartless people could still exist.

...

"What the hell am I doing in your bed, Mister?" Diana yelled as soon as she recognized her surroundings.

Skylar couldn't get a wink of sleep last night as Diana kept thrashing her legs every five minutes, snoring her life out like a tired pig. He stood up from the bed at exactly three o'clock AM in the morning and has been sitting on an armchair waiting for the moment 'sleeping pig' will wake up. Diana was surely a beauty to behold but she was more of a pig, thought Skylar. He would probably never see the beauty in his enemy's daughter then again.

Diana waited for an answer but Skylar kept mute. In that period of silence, Diana scrutinized Skylar's Adonis-like features. Sun tanned skin, a V-shaped face, full and symmetrical lips, dark eyebrows, full and darker lashes, the upper half of the face broader in relation to the lower, high cheekbones. He was everything she dreamt of in a man.

"You got drunk, intruded into someone's privacy, urinated in someone's toilet, vomited..." He paused as he tried to get the image out of his head before he continued "on someone's body and made yourself comfortable on someone else's bed" Skylar listed all the many things Diana did to her very own dismay. "You didn't stop there you made sure the owner of the bed couldn't get a wink of sleep with your incredible sleeping skills, not to talk of your snoring skills. You snore like a pig" Skylar managed to keep a straight face while saying all those things, he honestly felt like crying.

Diana was embarrassed by all that he mentioned but something was bugging her at the back of her mind, 'his voice. She was sure she heard that voice somewhere, she just couldn't place her finger on it.

"I'm so sorry about last night's ordeal, I didn't mean to ...."

"Get out" Skylar cut off Diana's apology rudely.

Diana surely was not expecting that. She blinked furiously to try to hide the rage and embarrassment all this was causing her.

 "Can I at least bother you one more time by freshening up before leaving?" she asked politely.

 "I said get out!" Skylar said without raising his voice while making his way to the coffee dispenser. Diana wondered how his words could send this amount of chills to her skin. His calm voice held a hint of danger. But good news, she loved danger.

Diana got down from the bed. She felt like filth right now, but this handsome man.... that's right, she doesn't know his name.

 "Can I at least get your name to compensate you for all your troubles" Diana tried to seek his name casually, but as usual, he kept mute while sipping his coffee? Diana was not giving up. She was never one to give up.

"I'm Diana Garcia," she said as she walked up to him and she stretched out her hand for a handshake. Skylar gave one glance at her outstretched hand and continued with his coffee. Diana saw this guy was not budging but she couldn't accept defeat.

 "Can I at least get a name, or a number, or any means of contacting you?" Diana said this time in a girly manner. Skylar sneered as he walked to the wardrobe and took out a card from one of the suits there.

 "This is my business card" he gave her the card. "Can you get out of my room already, you stink" Skylar said before he went to work on his laptop. Diana picked up her phone and other stuff before leaving the room. She was happy beyond description.

Maybe she won't have to get married out of duty but out of love, Diana thought to herself happily as she walked out of the hotel. Just then something clicked.

 'What if he gave me a false card just to get me off his back? I'm sure he did' Diana muttered to herself. She then turned back and went into the hotel again.

If anyone asks Skylar his aim for giving out his details to Diana, they'll probably get no answer because he was not sure of the reason why. He just wanted to toy with the girl, she seemed smitten with him. He could maybe use her immature crush for him to his advantage.

 Anyone present will notice Diana has a thing for Skylar, it may be at the moment, but Skylar will surely use it to his advantage.

Just then...

A knock was heard and Skylar dreaded that it'll be Diana again but he still went to open the door
