"You are late even though you said you were already on your way when you called." Diego said to her.
"I am sorry." She apologized and turned towards Benjamin, she smiled and said to him.
"Hi Benjamin, you look so handsome today and the T-shirt looks so good on you."
Benjamin looked away and ignored her compliment by saying to Diego.
"Sir, how do we intend to start with the preparations? I have a few suggestions if you don't mind."
Diego saw was happening and was happy that Emelda was getting ignored.
"Let me hear your suggestions." Diego replied and sat down crossing his legs.
Emelda felt hurt being ignored by Benjamin, she wanted to make Diego suffer for what he did to her by flirting with another man.
"Why will you choose a married man of all men out there?" A young man asked Emelda in her room, they both sat down on the bed and Emelda was busy applying makeup on her face.
"I don't know. I didn't think I was going to involve him in my plans to get back at Diego but then it just happened." Emelda replied.
"It's unfair to the man. Sister, you need to stop now, don't ruin someone's else's family just to get back at Diego, please." The young man pleaded with her placing his hand on her thigh.
"Why are you doing this Julian, I already told you I will only use him for my plan and I promise not to ruin his marriage." She said to her brother making cute faces at him.
"But you will be flirting with him or even go beyond flirting, you might even kiss him to irritate Diego, wouldn't that ruin his marriage." Julian said getting upset over his sister's actions.
Ever since Diego broke his sister's heart, his sister has been harbouring an immense hatred in her heart. She didn't allow any man into her life but continuously stalk Diego, she knew all about his activities and about all his misdeeds, including the dates that was arranged by his grandad, she was simply looking for a way to get back with him while using her hatred as an excuse.
"Julian, enough about that topic. I will be careful not to ruin his marriage." Emelda said and left the room before he got the chance to say another word.
"We need to invite the most famous event planners in Georgia and all we have to do is to supervise instead of getting the job done ourselves, that will reduce our stress as well as our labor." Benjamin said quickly.
"You want more than one event planner to arrange the birthday party?" Emelda asked still trying to make a conversation with him.
"Yes, offcourse. We have just today and tomorrow morning and afternoon to prepare for the event since it will start in the evening, so we need all the helping hands and expertise we can get." Benjamin replied and she said before placing her hand on his shoulder as she was seated right next to him.
"I think it's brilliant, you are so smart Benjamin."
Diego looked at both of them from the opposite side and grunted.
"What do you think about the suggestion sir?" Benjamin forwarded his question to Diego and Diego replied.
"I think it's a great idea, so let's start. What should we do first."
"First, let's go through the list of events planners I already compiled since last night." Benjamin said.
"You compiled a list? Wow, you always seem to amaze me." Emelda said but Benjamin ignored her and brought out a paper containing the list of events planners and their contacts.
They went through it together and each started calling the event planners, they managed to arrive at three names after calling sixteen people.
Mylar woke up later on after sleeping for a long time, Jaden had left for work earlier leaving everything she needed close by and also asked her to phone him if she encounters any problems she can't handle.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Mylar asked when she got to the sitting room and found her mom on the couch watching TV.
"You're awake, do you need something to eat, drink?" Mrs. Claire asked and Mylar replied.
"No, but why on earth are you here? I am sure you left earlier even before Jaden left."
"Yes you are right. I was waiting for you to wake up, Mylar I have never seen you this sick since the day I gave birth to you. You are not the type to break down easily, so you better tell me what is going on right now, I am still your mother afterall."
Mrs. Claire said to her daughter, Mylar seemed shocked by what her mom said and she was nervous afterwards, this her mom noticed immediately.
"There's nothing wrong, I just got a bit sick due to tiredness, I have been overworking myself at the club became of my boss." Mylar said looking away, she does this when she is hiding something, it's difficult for her to look into people's eyes.
"Mylar, I am not stupid. I have been noticing you for days now, you look sickly, you've been peeing more than usual." Her mom said not convinced.
"And how do you even know that?" Mylar exclaimed, she only pees a lot more at night but yet her mom found out.
"Tell me what is wrong Mylar and stop trying to hide it." Mrs. Claire said, when looking at her at this moment one would think that she is an amazing mother.
"There's nothing wrong with me." Mylar said and tried to go away when she heard her mom ask.
"Is Jaden responsible for it?"
"What are you saying? I only missed my period, you don't have to say such rubbish because of that." Mylar blurted out in anger.
"Are you stupid? You missed your period and you don't think that there is anything wrong with it?" Mrs. Claire thundered shocked by her daughter's stupidity.
"Do you feel nauseous and do you keep vomiting?" Mrs. Claire asked calmly and Mylar nodded.
"That is morning sickness, you fool. I need to get you a test strip from the pharmacy immediately." Mrs. Claire said and Mylar asked.
"Test strip for what?"
"Pregnancy test strip you idiot. I will be back now." Mrs. Claire replied and went out.
"Oh my God but I have never sex with Jaden, if I am pregnant then it means he is not the father. God please, don't let me be pregnant." Mylar prayed with a worried face folding her arms.
"Why are they taking so long?" Diego complained after waiting for the arrival of the three event planners for just thirty minutes after inviting them to the mansion.
"I am sure they are on their way sir, we just have to be a little patient." Benjamin said and got up, he informed Diego that he was going to the kitchen to get himself a drink and went away.
A few minutes after he left, Emelda also informed Diego that she thirsty and went without waiting for his permission, Diego sighed and folded his arms together, he was too angry to argue.
Benjamin was pouring himself a glass of apple juice when she arrived behind him staring at him from his head down to shoes and to his head again.
Benjamin was also a very attractive man although cute and simple, he was very charming. His body wasn't that of a gym lover but he was quite built and he was a very neat person.
She slowly walked up to him stealthily trying to catch him off guard when he suddenly turned around but she was already so close that her face almost fell into his, he was able to move away fast before that could happen.
"Gosh, you scared me." He exclaimed and quickly grabbed his juice to leave the kitchen.
He felt a grip on his arm when he got to the door and turned around only to see Emelda smiling at him, she came to his front and asked.
"Why are you scared of me? Do I look like a monster?"
"I am not scared of you and no, you don't look like a monster." Benjamin replied and wanted to leave but she held him more tightly.
"Then what exactly is wrong? Why are you avoiding me?"
"Because I am a married man who loves his wife so much and has a beautiful daughter with her."
"Do you think every woman who comes close to you is trying to steal you from your wife?" Emelda asked leaving his arm.
"No but the way you keep approaching me, I do think that is what is in your mind." Benjamin replied looking directly into her eyes.
Emelda suddenly started laughing and then asked.
"How did you find out that, that is what I want?" Benjamin didn't respond and simply walked out on her.
"You are very rude but I will still have you because you are the perfect person I need to use to make Diego very angry and jealous, provoked that he comes running back to me." Emelda said smiling.
