Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Hazel

"He kept following me around for a week and eventually,I just had to give in,one time he threatened to buy and sell away the cafe I worked in if I didn't give him a chance"Cass and Jace burst into fits of laughter while kept Xavier glaring at me,I smirked at him loving the moment,I was so good at lying and I didn't even know until now,I had been keeping them entertained for the past few minutes and they were buying all our lies,there wasn't even an ounce of doubt and it made me feel guilty,but I kept reminding myself that a million dollars was what's at stake.

"Didn't know our boy Xavier could get so intentional about a girl,how I've long for this day"Cass sighed dramatically making me giggle.

"I know right,I was literally making fun of him a week ago and boom,he's getting married? Show me a better magician,I'll wait"Jace smirked clapping his hand on Xavier's back,seeing how calm, comfortable and not scared of their wits Cass and Jace were with Xavier,I could tell they were close,I studied them for a bit,I noticed the spark in their eyes when they looked at each other and even though I had never really experienced love,I could tell they were really in love with each other, and then I noticed the ring on her hand,which prompted me to ask the obvious.

"Are You guys engaged?"Cass nodded her smile growing wider

"Congratulations"I cooed as she blushed making my heart warm up a little.

"Hazel I'd love to invite you for my engagement party,it's in a week's time,please be there."She said and I nodded eagerly knowing that Xavier would probably be there too and I'd have to follow him around now.

"So how are you guys planning for the engagement party,I mean it's gotta be the hottest,since the most eligible bachelor is getting married"Jace turned to Xavier with a smirk,I bit softly on my lips thinking of how I'd tell him that we were getting married in three days time.

"Actually - "

"There will be no engagement party,we are getting married in three days"Xavier interrupted me.

"What?"

"Damn"

Jace and Cass both said at the same time,they looked at us like we were crazy,ok one of us was crazy actually,how do you get married just three days after the proposal?

"Are you okay with this Hazel?"Cass brown eyes met my own and I could see in her eyes that she really cared,I nodded in affirmation.

"Of course she is"Xavier circled his arm around my waist pulling me closer"We are very eager,right Babe?"his voice sent shivers down my spine,I shook it away not wanting to be affected by this handsome,walking sex appeal god,his whole aura and the way he looked at me literally screamed drop your panties,I smiled and agreed with him.

"Yeah we are very eager"

"Okay if you say so"Cass brushed it off and I guess they believed everything,my chest was starting to ache,so I decided to excuse myself and get some fresh air,I made a mental note to myself to remember to take my meds,I always carried them with me, Xavier gave me a questioning look,but I waved him off saying I was fine even if he didn't care ,I walked towards the lilies and smiled at the beautiful sight that calmed my aching chest, everything was at peace and bliss till I heard someone's footsteps which made me turn around, Hailey Blackwood stood right in front of me with a glare on her procelin face.

"I know why you are marrying my brother"she said with a straight face,I got scared for a moment thinking she had found out and was going to sue me and throw me in Jail till she spoke up again.

"You are just after the money,you don't love my brother,I know people like you,just because you are wearing a few designers doesn't mean you belong here,you are a gold digger,you want everything for yourself and I'm not going to allow that"she opened her Prada purse and took out a wad of cash "you want money right? Here take it and leave this family and my brother alone"she threw the cash at me,she turned to walk away but I held her arm and turned her to face me.

"Do you really think everyone is as shallow as you are?Do you know how people struggle everyday just for a meal? Of course you wouldn't know because you are a spoilt rich brat who trample on lesser people,since you are good at throwing things,you should also throw some of that nasty attitude away"I picked the cash from the floor and threw it back in her face which startled her a bit.

"Oh spare me the sermon,your little stupid speech will not change a thing I feel about you" I cracked a laugh and she looked at me like I had lost it.

"Well too bad,for you of course not me,new flash, I don't give a shit"she glared evily and snarled at me.

"I'm warning you stupid bitch,back off and stay away from my brother"

"Okay the last part sounded horribly disturbing,do you want to marry your brother? Are you in love with him?"I gasped dramatically,she looked totally blown off guard.

"Are you mentally ill? I can't believe this bitch,Talking to you makes me dumber by the minute,how can you even think such? You must be crazy"she huffed and cursed,my feigned surprise turned into a deadly glare,I was tired of this squabbling already,I haven't even stayed a whole day and a crazy possessive sister was already making this a much more bigger deal than it already was,my hands were itching me,I wanted to throttle her and wash off her stupidly,perfectly made up face with my fist in the water fountain,I kept my hands by my side willing them to stay still as I controlled my temper.

"You are damn right I'm crazy,I will not and do not plan on staying away from Xavier,quit your dumb attitude and stop throwing tantrums,you are not a teenager for fucks sake,this isn't highschool where you can tell your underlings what to do,you can either disagree which would be totally useless by the way,or sit tight and shut the fuck up,either ways I will still get married to him."I turned to go,she opened her mouth to talk but I held up my hand

"Fix your make up first before starting a fight again,as fun as this was,I want it to come to an end,maybe we can continue later? After the wedding of course,it's in three days by the way and yes you are invited,I'm not sorry I smudged your lipstick,it was such a horrible colour,Adios"I waved sweetly remembering how the money I threw at her hit her lips,but Hailey Blackwood was the least of my worries now.

I had a wedding to prepare for.
