The party began after Tiana walked in,she was looking very beautiful in her royal blue dress,she looked like a middle aged woman whereas today was her seventieth birthday,her golden brown hair was well styled,she looked like a Queen from the medieval times,she was undoubtedly beautiful,her eyes were exactly the same as Gavin's,sharp and beautiful but her smile got the people in the hall mesmerized,an elegant chair from a royal family was where Tiana would sit,there was a huge cake in form a castle,it was very eye appealing,just like a real castle, Tiana walked over to the platform beside where her chair was placed,she was given a microphone,
"Hello everyone, I welcome you all to my birthday party, It's surely a privilege..."said Tiana.
After Tiana spoke,she walked off the platform,her actual age was not disclosed,the party started with a toast,from Bertie, her smile and voice was really mesmerizing,the party continued...
The party was running to an end,it was time to present the gifts to the celebrant,Gavin and Bertie walked to their Grandmother's side,they were receiving the gifts on her behalf while Tiana expressed her appreciation,
"I hope you will get married to a very good man like my son, Bertie, Granny is so proud of you, Gavin,my precious little Grandson, you're quite outstanding and I'm proud of you..."said Tiana to her Grandchildren.
"Thank you, Grandmother!"
Bertie and her brother replied simultaneously.
They continued receiving gifts, a family of three walked over,they looked quite eye catching, Ivy Astrid saw Gavin and was stunned,she was busy admiring him,her face got red as she blushed,her parents were greeting Tiana with enthusiasm, they finally dragged Ivy away,
"Mom!"
"Hey!,The guy's face was turning icy already,your father and I were frozen,we could only think of dragging you away,but oh my!, he's so handsome,I wish I were younger..."said Sadie blushing.
"That's nonsense!"replied Ivy.
She was looking behind her at intervals just to gaze at his face, Cassandra and her parents walked over to Tiana Graham and her Grandchildren,
"Happy birthday Granny Graham!"said Cassandra cutely.
Tiana found her cute and complimented her especially when Cassandra greeted Gavin,
"You know her?"asked Tiana.
"She also attends Berkeley Carroll School!"replied Gavin expressionlessly.
"Okay!"
Brady also came around with his wife,Chloe and son,Grant to present their gifts,before Christian walked over with his wife,Lisa,they chatted briefly,
"Go have fun,your Mother and I will accompany Mom!"said Christian.
Bertie nodded,as they were about to leave, Dulcie and her parents came over,Dulcie looked like a regal princess,she smiled at the Graham's family, Dulcie's mother , Lorelei Kingsley was never on good terms with her younger sister,Lisa Graham,so they greeted each other like strangers,Dulcie continued bootlicking as she praised her aunt,Lisa, her daughter for been beautiful,she winked at Gavin before leaving, Bertie also wasn't very familiar with her aunt and cousin,so she walked away with Gavin after greeting them politely, Dulcie looked for Gavin when she saw him seating at a secluded place,she walked over to him,
"Hi Gavin!"
"Hi!" replied Gavin coldly without looking at her.
"May I seat?"
As she was about to seat,a pair of warm hands rested on her shoulder,she fumed,
"Who's that?"
"It's me..."
Grant made him face her,her face blushed,she wriggled free then walked away, Grant was wearing a gray suit,he looked so handsome and eye catching, although his beauty couldn't hold a candle to Gavin's,he was considered very handsome,
"What do you want?"asked Gavin as Grant sat beside him.
"Oh!, can't I speak to my cousin?"
"Whatever!"
"Remember the pretty girl in your school?"asked Grant smiling mischievously.
"A pretty girl?, There are many pretty girls in my school!"replied Gavin lazily.
"Really?,You didn't notice such a girl,she looks great from head to toe, she's very pretty,I intend to make her the Queen of my empire in the future,other girls won't get a chance to be with me again..."said Grant but Gavin was calmly twirling the goblet in hand as if he was unconcerned.
"Oh!,I really shouldn't be saying this, I'll go see the ladies over there!"said Grant pointing to the table where pretty girls were gathered.
After Grant left, Gavin's anger was unleashed,the air around him was cold,he gripped the goblet tighter,then suddenly okaced it on the table, Grant was only provoking him intentionally,he had always sensed Grant and his father had the ulterior motives of destroying his family just to have absolute power in the Graham family,that was one of the reasons he kept Grant at an arm's length,he felt tired of the party,he told his family he was feeling sick,then left the venue abruptly...
