Mrs. Grant felt like calling an ear doctor, this soon to be, self proclaimed daughter inlaw of her wouldn't just shut up!
She didn't mean to be the evil mother inlaw but weeing the honey haired and eyed white lotus beauty chattering away before her, she was getting more and more convinced that this girl was not the one for her son.
Katie Fandor was an ex waitess, a quiet girl with big ambitions, ambitions that Mrs Grant feared where to dangerous for a successful relationship.
She wanted to live the big life with all the rich and classy. So one can imagine how much of a dream come true it was for her when she was noticed by the second son of the almighty Grant family.
But only few noticed her two faced nature and her overboard despirscy to stick by Killian's side, she was very over protective and jealous, qualities Mrs. Grant loathed.
One more thing though.
She was like a snake that had being driven to a corner, she would do everything and anything to pull herself out of the neck deep poverty that she was born into.
Mrs. Grant watched as Katie curled around Killian's arm as she talked to her while killian tapped uninterruptedly at his phone with his brows slightly furrowed.
Sh glanced around as her eyes desperately wanted to loo, at everything else but the twotiming face before her, when her eyes caught a lone figure in red seeping her wine and watching the rich do their thing uninterested.
"Miss Velvet" she called out and Velvet turned immideately, her name was quite unique so it was distinct when Mrs. Grant called out,
She walked over with a smile on her face but when her eyes met Killian's, her smile wavered as a thick blush flooded her cheeks, she remembered the embarrassing moment of just a whole ago.
Velvet Paula Adams! Do not get seduced by those awesomely georgeus eyes again! She warned herself as she approached the small standing group.
"Very nice to meet yo Mrs..."
"Oh stop it dear, no need for the formalities honey, just call me mom" Mrs. Grant gushed as the cupid in her went on full alert, it may not be to late to get Katie out of the picture so she must try hard!
"Alright... mum" Velvet said awkwardly raising her headbut when her eyes met those eyes again, she lowered her eyes fast. Don't be seduced!
"Dear Katie, you don't mind getting this old woman a drink do you?" Mrs. Grant said, she needed to get rid of this potential distraction so that her son would drop that rock and finally pick up a diamond!
Katie feeling wronged nodded as curtly as she could before strutting away.
"Son, meet Velvet, remember her?" Mrs. Grant said making Velvet cursed in her mind over and over again.
And there goes her plan of hiding form her embarrassment!
" hmmm" killian hummed, his eyes had accidentally met hers but the face just registered " it's the flustered little red" he whispered the last part but the keen Velvet heard it.
Argghhh! Darn it!
He remembered!
And what was that, her name was by no means little red!
Velvet's face, neck and ears turned tomato red making Killian want to chuckle, ' she really is one flustered little red.
" what do you do for a living young woman, I found your skills really interesting!" Mrs.Grant said
"I serve as a bodyguard to the third young miss Splendour" she said with a polite smile, she knew all she had gone through so she wasn't ashamed of her profession.
She was just a few thousand dollars away from freeing her family from Mr. Storm's clutches so she was proud of herself.
"I see" Mrs. Grant said lightly, it's no wonder jer superb skills, she was one strong young lady!
Killians brows perked in interest though he didn't look up from his phone, she was way too flustered for a bodyguard.
" so I assume you must know a p,ace or too around this beautifull mansion, do you mind leading my son to the esteemed Splendour Gardens, I would join you shortly if you please, the splendours seem to be a bit busy with guests.
Velvet felt like ramming her head against the wall, she surely would be seduced again!
'C'mon! The Splendours aren't even busy!' She screamed out in her mind but didn't dare to tell as she turned to Kilian.
"This way please."
Chapter 17 : more like fiesty little red.
"Hi" Prima finally summoned the courage to approach Sky, her heart was beating so fast she could probably feel it in her mouth.
'Calm down heart!" She screamed at herself trying to look aw uninterested as she could.
" they look dreamy don't they" prima said tracing his life of sight to the newest couple in town being interviewed by the media.
"I think" Sky said uninterested, he didn't need a microscope to tell that if Serena flashed one of her dazzling smiles at Fort again or pecked him on his chin, Fort would really stuff her upside down into a can of trash!
If that was what they called happy, Sky was more than glad to remain sad and gloomy all his life!
Thanks to the heavens he wasn't old enough yet, or atleast, his grandparents didn't think so, or else who knows who he would be on that stage with bearing those butterfly kisses, that was just yuck!..
"You think so?" Prima probed trying to raise a conversation even if it would have to center on the new couple,
(Chibi Serena : author! Quick! My sister is about to use me! Helpppp!!!)
(Author: hahaha! It seems its 'crush before sister's' day!)
Sky finally turned to the beauty beside him, "yeah! Fort is the most unpredictable person I've met" he said with a mild smile.
Prima felt taken aback by that casual smile of his, it seemed so..... dazzling.
'Cmon Prima! Don't stare to much' she scolded herself in her mind, she still couldn't believe she was right here talking to her crush!
She was still basking in the glory of his side features as he watched the stage maintaining his ammused smile when Sky seemed to have received a call after giving her a smile, he left.
Prima felt that all the peach blossoms that seemed to have being falling over the both of them be replaced by thick black rain drops, falling on the suddenly lonely her with no mercy.
She cursed who ever it was on the other side of the call like her life depended on it before chugging down a whole glass of wine.
What! Her crush was gone now she could get drunk for all she cares.
Hmmphhh!

" ... and this is the C section of the Splendour Gardens call 'Nightingale '" Velvet said turning to Killian who just hummed in response before looking at the flowers with uninterested eyes.
He was not interested in anything, he wasn't stupid, he had lived with his mom for 12 years of his life so he knew exactly what his mom was trying to do.
Who knows, this girl might just be one of those gold digging whores who were after the surname grant as it was a national key to riches, name and fame.
He stared at her as she starred at the flowers with a warm smile like a mom watching her children grow.
There was one fact he could not deny.
There was something special about this ... girl.
She led him to the next section, it was filled with lustrefilled red roses, she once again said he name of the section before turning to the flowers. Her lonely back in the midst of those red roses.
"What do you think young master?" She said turning to him, she seemed to particularly love this section.
He walked to one of the flower bushes and plucked a lone rose "they remind me of someone" he said in barely a whisper but velvet was close to him so she heard it.
"Who..." Velvet asked as her curiosity kicked in but she soon realised she was prying " uh, umm, I'm sorry for..."
" a certain someone..... firsty little and red" he said as a smirk stretched across his face that looked particularly flirty when directed at Velvet,
Velvet felt her cheeks heat up considerably, she turned back to the flowers, her mind was in a mess!
She wondered how just a few words of his could make her composure collapse like there was a big syringe sucking it out of jer.
When suddenly...
Killian's brows scrunched up as he wrapped an arm around Velvet's waist pulling her down as he fully blocked her body with his, gently but firmly holding her as his fit frame completely hovered over her smallish frame.
Velvet was taken by suprise "you....."
"Shhhhh!" He said placing a finger over her lips lightly, Velvet hushed as she listened quietly.
She was well trained by her master so she knew danger when she saw it.
"Mmmmmmmm! He...mm.. lp....mmmmnmmmm! Help!"
Velvet's eyes flew open, those were the sounds coming from a muffled plea, a muffled cry for help.
Velvet stretched her neck so that she could see what was happening. There was a black car at the end of the east wing, a man in black pulled someone with a sack over her head but was dressed in a lavish dress.
He or she was a guest.....
Kidnapping a guest from the occasion of the splendours through the crimson garden at the time where it was meant to be locked,
Yes conclusion she came up with sent chills down her spine.
Who ever did this was in close affiliation with the splendour family or had a spy.
" a red rose....." she whispered noticing a family's crest embroidered on the girls skirt
" the Zolan family, it's their crest" he whispered, he could sense who ever was kidnapping that girl was a master of martial arts, and whoever was behind them must be even scarier,
A member of one of the ancient families.
The zolan family was afterall he second richest in all of Rivera and also an ancient Family, to be one out of the five ancient families was no easy feat.
"When they approach us, attack him" he whispered into velvet's ear who immideately understood why, Killian had a larger frame, he might be a military General but that person was a martial arts expert and would realise him the moment he stepped out of hiding.
But she had a smaller and more flexible frame, she might not be as strong as he kidnapper but she could easily managed a sneak attack.
She suddenly remembered something " thanks Kyle" she whispered
"Hmmm?..."
"He's my master, my teacher and there's one thing he always tells ne" she said with a smirk as she loosened herself from kilian's hold, she pulled up the slit on her already seductive gown almost revealing the totally of her slender and straight jade le leg.
Killian looked away for his very own good " seduction would not work on him" he said .
"Who's talking about seducing" she asked as she pulled a gun and silencer that had being strapped to her lap with a smirk as she waved it before kilian.
Oh! That's what she's talking about.
He started to change his impression of this young woman
flustered little red? , no!
Fiesty little red..... hmm, More like it!
