After the misunderstanding Antonio made it up to his daughter and took her out to a nearby park where they had alot of fun.
Pretty was still angry with her dad though, but the fact that he wanted to make it to up to her made Pretty feel happy.
"So, did you like it", Antonio asked his daughter.
"I loved it dad, thank you", Pretty said as she hugged her dad. Antonio couldn't resist too and hugged her back.
The moment was a bliss and either of them didn't want it to end but unfortunately, a call came in.
"Hello", Antonio answered pulling away gradually as he picked up his phone and walked away.
Pretty was patiently waiting for her dad who constantly yelled at the top of his voice on the receiver at the other end of the call. She kept thinking of what could have been the problem that would make her dad to yell so loudly. After a while Antonio finally ended the call and walked back to Pretty's direction. She was now sitting on a bench and texting on her phone.
"So sweetie, I'll have to get going now something came up at the company and
...", Antonio was saying until Pretty stopped him.
"Dad, it's alright. You can go. You've already made me happy again, I wouldn't have ask for anything else", Pretty said. Antonio was completely awestruck.
"In that case I'll see you at home. Bye honey", Antonio said as he turned and walked away.
Pretty was lost in thought when she received a message notification on her phone. It was from Miranda.
"Where are you the party has been going on for hours and you still haven't showed up", Pretty read the text.
"Ok, I'll be there in five just hang on", Pretty replied.
"Will do", Miranda texted back.
"Why then did Orwen tell me the party was cancelled", Pretty said inwardly.
She put her phone back in her pocket and walked out of the park. When she came out of the park she immediately boarded a cab. The cab took her to the venue of the party, The Weston manor. As Pretty alights the cab, she entered the large compound hearing music from inside the mansion. She walked into the mansion seeing people having a good time in the party. She quickly searched for Miranda. After a while of searching, Pretty finally found her. She walked to where Miranda was dancing with some people.
"Hey nice party", Pretty yelled as the sound of the music was too loud.
"Yeah, what took you so long to get here", Miranda asked as she continued dancing.
"Oh, I got a misinfo from Orwen telling me the party was cancelled", Pretty said as she too began to move to the rhythm of the music.
"Wow, that's alot", Miranda said.
"I know. What I don't know is why he would do such a thing", Pretty said clearly upset.
"Well, speaking of Orwen, he told me he was sick and won't be able to make it to the party", Miranda said with a confused look.
"That doesn't make any sense", Pretty sighed.
"Ok, if it would make you feel any better after the party, we would give Orwen a visit", Miranda said.
"That's ok I guess", Pretty sighed.
"In the meantime, we're at a party let's have some fun", Miranda said handing Pretty a glass of wine as she held one too. Then they both drank the contents of their glasses and continued dancing.
When the party was finally over the people began to leave the mansion.
"Thanks for coming everybody", Derrick Weston, the host of the party said.
Pretty and Miranda were ready to go before Pretty was called by Derrick.
"You're leaving so soon", Derrick said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, I'm off to drop her at her house", Pretty said pointing to Miranda who seemed drunk and was held up by Pretty.
"ugh, that's ok, I just wanted to thank you for making it to the party as the school's student body president", Derrick said.
"Oh stop, your flattering me", Pretty said.
"Am I now", Derrick said with a smirk.
"I just made sure I don't let anyone down by missing the party", Pretty said.
"Ok, I won't keep you waiting, your friend seems to be having a hard time resting on your shoulders", Derrick said pointing at Miranda.
"Oh, in that case I'll see at school maybe or call", Pretty said.
"Ok, see you around", Derrick said as he turned and walked into the mansion. Pretty carried Miranda outside the manor and boarded a taxi.
As Derrick walked up the flight of stairs leading to his room, he saw a young man, dressed in a white long sleeved shirt and black pants, leaning beside his door.
"So, has the lion captured it's prey or is he still playing with his food", the young man said before standing straight and walking down the stairs, smiling.
"Mind your own business, Richard", Derrick said before entering his room and shutting the door.
********
Pretty and Miranda both walked out of the taxi and into a penthouse that was across the street.
"Did you think he noticed", Miranda said.
"I'm sure he didn't even know you were not drunk", Pretty chuckled. They both enter the penthouse when they heard someone coughing so loudly. They quickly scanned the room and found Orwen coughing in the toilet. He looked pale and was coughing out blood.
"Orwen what happened to you", Miranda said as she quickly rushed to his side.
" I do..n.t.*ughuh*", Orwen was trying to say as he began to cough again.
"Pretty call an ambulance quickly", Miranda yelled.
"Ok I'm on it", Pretty brought out here phone and dialed the emergency number.
The receiver picked the call and Pretty described the situation and also gave the address of the penthouse. When she was done she ran to where Miranda was. Then she held Miranda's arm, which made Miranda look at Pretty.
"He's going to be alright, the ambulance are on their way", Pretty said.
"I knew it. I should have come to check him before I went to that party, it's all my fault", Miranda said as Pretty comforted her.
The ambulance arrived shortly after and took Orwen and Miranda to the hospital.
"Pretty aren't you coming", Miranda asked.
"I'm sorry. I have to check at home first, don't worry everything's going to fine. I'll call you when I get home", Pretty said.
"Ok see you then", Miranda said as the ambulance van began to move.
Pretty was so stressed out she just walked to her house since the distance from here wasn't too long. She just needed to catch some fresh air.
When she finally arrived at home, she noticed something unsual. The gates were wide open which Isn't normal.
She then swiftly entered the house and called out.
"Mom, Josey, is anyone home", as she climbed up the stairs leading to her parents room, she heard someone crying loudly. She walked fast and saw it was Josey.
"Josey what happened", Pretty to her side and said holding her.
"Your... Your", Josey was trying to say in between the sobs.
"It's alright Josey just breathe and tell me what's wrong", Pretty said a little worried
"On their way to a business dinner, your parents were involved in an accident", Josey said before breaking into another round of tears. Out of shock Pretty slightly left Josey which made Josey alert.
"Your joking right", Pretty said before the darkness slowly caught her. She could hear Josey screaming her name before she passed out.
