"When are you going to tell your grandpa about us?" woman voice answered on the other end of the phone.
"Right now is not the right time jane," Zion asked over the phone as he held his phone to his ear
"Zion we have been dating each other for 5 years. It's time for us to move one step further," Jane said firmly.
"You recently got a movie contract just focus on that. And about marriage right now I am not in a hurry. We will get married when the time is in our favor," Zion replied.
Knock! Knock!
"I will talk to you later jane," Zion said abruptly and the sound of the phone being cut off followed.
"Come in!"
Mira opened the door carefully and walked in with some files in her hand . Zion was sitting on the chair behind desk reading a report. He could hear the sound of her footsteps as she approached the desk and placed the files down on the desk.
"These files needs your sign," Mira said, placing the file on the table in front of him.
"And I need to leave earlier. Heila is in hospital. I need to check her," Mira said noticing his expressionless face.
"Fine you can leave," Zion replied without even sparing her a glance. Mira was ready to leave the office but before she held the knob of door Zion's voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Wait!"
"Why did you change your mind? And wants to torture me more?" what you did in the morning wasn't enough?" Mira said, crossing her arms around herself as she hovered close to Zion.
"Take this with you," Zion pointed towards the huge box on the coffee table. Mira's eyes moved in the direction where the box was placed.
"What's inside that?" Mira asked as she picked up the box.
"It is sent by grandpa," Zion answered simply. Mira hesitated for a little moment but eventually opened it. A beautiful Light blue gown, it has sequence on his neck line filled with beautiful silver beads.
"Why did grandpa send me this? It's his birthday not mine," Mira questioned confused.
It was indeed send a work of his grandpa. In the morning when he arrived at his office he was greeted by his grandpa's call.
FLASHBACK..
"Buy a beautiful dress for Mira for today's event," Grandpa ordered.
"Why grandpa it's your birthday? And why would I buy a dress for her, you know we don't get along well," Zion tried his best to protest against his grandpa's idea, his grandfather had always liked Mira. He know something is fishy about this.
"Are you doing or not?"
"Fine, Fine," Zion finally gave in he just couldn't agrue with his grandpa. Especially today is very important day for him he don't want to ruin it.
....
It was noon when Mira reached at her friends apartment. The rain also stopped pouring but there were still dark clouds scattered in the sky. When she exited the cab she saw Heila coming towards her.
"How is your teeth?" Mira asked touching her jaw lightly.
"Better," Heila replied with a slight grin.
"Where Lianna?" Heila asked curiously.
"She must be enjoying her date," Mira chuckled as they both walked inside the apartment complex.
"You are right. She must be enjoying her date. Let's just get ready for tonight. And steal the hearts of men," Helia laughed with Mira.
The two entered the elevator and headed upstairs to Helia's apartment. Arriving at the door of her apartment, Helia dialed the password on the keypad and pushed the door open. The first thing which caught their attention was Lianna who was drenched in the rain and lying down in the couch wrapping her arms around her knee tightly. She was crying, it was a sight which shocked both of them.
"Lianna!" They yelled rushing toward her and hugged her tightly.
"Lianna what happened? why are you crying?" Mira asked panicking as she gently stroked her back and rubbed her shoulders
"Did Rafael said something? Tell me I will break his nose for you?" Helia asked angrily.
Lianna shook her head as she tried to wipe her tears away with the back of her hands.
"He broke up with him. He said he doesn't -- love me," Lianna voice cracked as she finished her sentence. She then buried her face between both of their shoulders as sobs wracked her body.
"Damn, he really is a big jerk!" Mira cursed as she held onto Lianna tighter.
"Tell me why everyone leaves me? Am I not good?" Why I am always an option for everyone?" Lianna asked as her tears continued to fall.
"Lianna you are a very good person it just they blind," Helia consoled her while combing her fingers through her hair.
"Who is that girl?" With whom cheated on you?"
"It's Rachel," Lianna said as she pulled herself away from the hug and looked at them.
"That Bitch! she is going to die!" Helia gritted her teeth
"Don't act on impulsive Helia. We are going in the party today. Naturally they will also attend. We will take our revenge tonight."
