"I'm getting married to Liam Morrison this weekend," Freya said. Her grandpa was shocked. She's getting married to Liam?
Aurora clenched her fist "stop deceiving the guests" she mocked. James laughed, "Call him now" he dared
How dare you!
Thankfully she saved Liam's contact last night
she dialed his number, Aurora prayed silently that Liam should ignore her. James scoffed "You can't deceive us" he declared.
"I'm not," Freya said silently. she's obviously deceiving them. Liam missed the first call. God please this is my life.
"Grandpa, you can see she's lying." Aurora's face changed suddenly. "she'll destroy this family grandpa please do something" Aurora held her grandpa tightly. "Freya, I'll call my guard to see you off," he declared.
Freya clenched her fist, "You think I'm a country bumpkin too" tears Welled up in her eyes. If she can't fight for herself in this life then who would do that for her?
"but you're bringing the family's name into mud" Aurora gritted her teeth angrily"You think so too grandpa " Freya faced her grandfather who was silent.
"Yes, I'm the bad sheep. I'll leave" she said in disappointment. Obviously she's disappointed. I have to find a real supporter in this life else I'll be crushed like last time.
"Will you leave Liam for the man grandpa chose?" her grandfather asked. Freya clicked her tongue silently
James?
"I'll do anything grandpa" she hugged her grandfather. This is not working at all' Aurora thought.
"I thought you wanted to call Liam?" she reminded me. James admired her uprightness. He smiled at Aurora, her face turned red.
"You should not deceive your elders" Mrs Anderson cautioned. Grandma Anderson looked at Freya judgmentally.
Grandpa Bailey looked sad. this little kid "don't lie to grandpa, I'm here to propose marriage on your behalf" he told Freya.
"bitch" Freya cursed Liam silently.
Morrison's company
Liam sat in his office with his shareholders. An hour later, he went back to his seat. He looked so tired and stressed out but he had to continue working.
"missed calls" Aaron informed him
Liam sighed, this old man should let me breathe.
He collected the phone and smirked when he saw the unknown number.
"Guess I'm getting married this weekend,"he laughed. Aaron took his seat arranging the scattered documents on the table.
He dialed the number again and it was picked within seconds.
Grandma Anderson birthday dinner:
Freya bent her head and listened to her grandpa and father's scolding.
James and Aurora looked fulfilled. I failed because I did not plan well and it will not happen again.
Her phone rang, her grandpa and father swallowed their next words at the same time.
she smiled and picked the call immediately before Liam changed his mind.
fool!
so he cares about me.
"Hey babe" Liam said at the other end. Freya quickly covered the speaker, her cheeks as red as tomatoes.
Is he a fool?
He's not a fool, he's just a flirty handsome knight.
The elders laughed, they were once in love too and acted this way. Her grandpa pattes her back.
Her father cleared his throat, James felt inferior.
He needs to take care of Liam, his biggest rival.
"Hi Liam" Freya said gently like a little child. The elders smiled at her shyness. Some old men looked at their women and smiled.
"Sorry, I was in a meeting,how do you want to punish me?" Liam teased.
God please!
Freya closed her eyes. Why did she try to call this handsome flirt?
Nice one, handsome flirt.
"okay. Bye" Freya said and was about to hang up "You're still crossed with me" Liam asked. Can this handsome flirt just be serious?
She thought Liam was only playing with her but Liam was being serious. He was telling the two old people from Anderson and Bailey that Freya belonged to him and an arranged marriage between Freya and James wouldn't be accepted.
The old man was full of smiles. His little baby deserves the best and Liam is the perfect man. some ladies looked at Freya in jealousy.
Grandma Anderson's face looked solemn. Why would that kid...is he not scared?
"I'm not, I just want the party to continue" she considered. Liam groaned, Freya felt her body shivered in a sweet way. she liked it but it was strange to her.
"If you're not, then let's have dinner tonight," he asked. Dinner? Nope it can't be possible today.
"Tomorrow" she replied quickly. "Then you're still angry, you don't want to see me," he said.
Damn
"I'm packing for mom and dad's house tonight, I can't come," she said quietly. Aurora clenched her fist, this girl.
"Okay, I'll help you," he laughed and hung up.
Freya looked around and bowed "I'm sorry everyone " she pleaded. only James and Aurora understood that wicked smirk resting on Freya's lips. Mrs Bailey looked at her biological daughter in disgust.
Why would Liam be interested in someone like her? A country bumpkin?
Freya looked shy, her cheeks were red like a berry tomato.
Why would he choose me though?
Aurora looked displeased.
The party continued suddenly. A young lady among the guests screamed, all the guests turned to her. They looked at the socialite who just yelled out at a party.
"My ring" she cried out. "I was wearing it not quite long," she explained.
Then how did the ring disappear?
"why would anyone steal your ring?"the guests asked each other. They're all rich and could afford such ring either diamond or gold.
"Anyone can steal the ring," James said slowly. He looked displeased. Why would something like this happen today?
"Are you saying my adopted sister stole it because she likes it" Aurora faced changed with tears in her eyes.
stole?
