Days passed by soon and te day of wedding anniversary of her uncle was today. Even though they were not a part of upper society they still had enough influence over the country. Many of the politician and celebrities and powerful people were inc=vited to the banquet. Even the Morettis were invited due to them being friends with delilah's mother.
But today was important to both family not only because of wedding anniversary but more.

In a closet room all dresses, bags and sandals were on floor and the room was a mess. Delilah stood at the center not sure what to wear. Taking her cellphone she called Ron,
"My, my how do i have the honour of getting remembered by you after getting ditched?"
He continued to complaint to her
"RON" dellilha shouted on phone.
"Yes, D", his voice turned timid completely different from before when he was shouting.
"I am going to my uncle's wedding anniversary party and i dont know what to wear. Also you are coming with me."
"Wait. WHAT? I dont want to come D, I'm busy" ron said while looking at the person on his bed. Winking at her, he walked towards balcony and lit his cigarette.
Delilah scoffed at Ron when he said he's busy. She knew very well what he was busy at.
" You are coming with me or I call aunt"
"Why do you always bring my mom in between this when you know very well that she wants me to get married to that stupid woman"
Delilah rolled her eyes, knowing well that the woman he is talking about is genius in her field.
They both had only hatred for each other though the reason is not known yet.
"You pick me up at 7 p.m.", with that she cut the phone not giving a chance to let him speak.
Delilah chose a red spaghetti strap slit maxi dress with natural make-up. She completed her look with a clutch louboutin heels. Walking towards her dresser she opened a drawer that needed a pin, taking out a velvet jewellery box she reminisced about her mother. Delilah opened the box and wore it. The item was none other than the ruby sterling silver victorian floral bracelet. The pigeon blood-red sunrise ruby was the most eye-catching, her mother told her to keep it safe as it was her father's gift to her. She knew nothing about her birth father and she did not feel anything for him as her mother was the one who fulfilled everything for her.
'RING' the ringtone woke her up from her thoughts. Seeing it was Ron she grabbed a clutch bag and house key.
Arriving at the lobby of her building what she saw was people turning to look at a car. Delilah groaned internally as it was none other Ron who must have bought ride from his personal collection car. And sure she was right she was right, 'he fucking bought Audi R8'. Pulling the window down Ron gave her a smirk thinking she was impressed but all delilah gave him was a fake smile.
Since it was her relatives party and also she was an hour late she asked him not to bring chauffeur. Delilah then settled herself and then they took off.
Arriving at the venue, Ron passed his key to the valet and both went inside. Inside they saw
Ballroom dance was going on. Julia who was sitting saw Delilah arriving with Ron, she burned with jealousy since Ron has been her crush for years. She fell in love with him at the campus, they both are from same college and she was his junior by 2 years. Back then there were rumours about them dating to which she came back home and broke every single item in her room not caring how expensive it was. Julia locked herself in her room for days and only came out when her mother soothed her.Later delilah introduced her to Ron and she cleverly became friends with him.Julia stood up from her seat and walked towards them.
"Cousin", Delilah turned to the voice, they both hugged each other.
"Hello Ron"
"Hey Jul" Ron hugged her,
"May i have the honour to dance with you"
"Sure, hey D you wont mind i dance with your cousin" Ron looked at delilah giving her a look.
She understood well what julia was trying to do and also how irritated ron was but still she wanted her little revenge on him.
""Why would I mind?", Ron cursed her in his heart, he knew it as soon as he saw the look of mischief in her eyes. Julia dragged Ron with her and delilah smirked at this.
"Delilah is that you?"
"ANNE" delilah whisper shouted.
"How are you? And here?"
Anne knew that delilah rarely went to party and to that she moved to london not too long back. Anne and her family only knew about delilah and her mother but not more than that.
"Oh yes this is actually my uncle's party"
"WHAATT" anne shouted to which she gained too many eyes looking at her. She dragged delilah to a corner and questioned,
" are you serious? You never told us you have family and to this don't tell me you don't know what will happen later tonight?"
"What will happen?", her confused expression told Anne that she was unaware. Just when she was about to give heads up to delilah announcement took place. It was her uncle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, i am grateful for your presence today. Today i will be announcing a big news to everyone that is my niece and Elijah Moretti will be getting married soon."
Listening to the announcement everyone were shocked. Everyone knew no family has the same standing as that of a Morreti. Many family dreamed of an alliance with them but no one could. They still could not digest the news of marriage but they also learned that there was a niece too in the family. Everyone applauded and gossiped but no one noticed anything else.
The most shocked was no one but Delilah. Her body went rigid after listening to announcement.
