"Wow,I must say, you really have a sharp tongue. You will be the headline for tomorrow's news. I must say, my brother made a good choice for once" Akex ssaid.I chuckled. This guy is really funny. Suddenly, a soft music started playing. It was just soo cool.
"Dance with me darling " Kieran said. Is this guy alright. We are to pretend but he is actually overdoing it. I glared at him angrily. God help me. I thought before giving him my hand. He led me to the dancefloor as we danced the Waltz. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I felt goosebumps all over my body and my heart beat accelerated. 'What is this feeling?'
"Sarah,I wish this is no pretence. I wish we are like this. Like real lovers. Please give me the chance to be like this with you. I know that I don't love you now but I admire you. I know we will fall for each other. Let's bury the hatchet of last 5years and live happily "
"Kieran, I can never forgive you. You raped me. You took my virginity. I must say, I am happy that I have Zachary and Zoe but I can't forget whatever I went through. So never expect me to forgive you for deflowering me "
"I didn't rape you okay. Fine,it's true I took your virginity back then. I was saving you rather. I came to save you from those bunch of guys. I was rather saving you but I also inhaled some of the aphrodisiac so it was important. I couldn't remember you but I went to various hospitals and asked them to inform me when any young lady comes for an abortion. The first day we bumped into each other, I found your scent to be familiar but I didn't give any knowledge to that until I bumped into you again. I even asked my men to track your but when they found where you lived, you had left there. Trust me Sarah." He explained. I was shocked. I looked into his eyes and all I saw was regret, truth and pain. The song stopped playing and we went to our table. I was confused. How did he know about it. How come he was there to save me. I was just confused and in my own train of thoughts that I didn't hear when Mr. Dove was giving his speech. My mind drifted away from the party.
We were served some foods but I couldn't eat much. I didn't even know what I was putting in my mouth. After some time, I excused myself to the washroom. There,I splashed water on my face. I had a light waterproof make up. I am slowly losing my sanity. I hate this. I hate this really much. Sighing, I was going back when I bumped into a young lady. The contents of my purse poured out. We both bent down to put everything in my purse again.
"I'm sorry "she said and left. Surprisingly, when I went back to the hall after some minutes, I realized that the place was exceptionally silent. What happened in my absence. I walked to my table and sat next to Kieran.
"Hey,what has happened?"I whispered to him.
"My grandmother said her brochure is missing. It was a gift my grandfather gave her before he died." Kieran said. I could see he was angry.
"But I didn't see any grandmother of yours during all the drama." I said and he chuckled.
"That is because, she was silent and I didn't know she was also here"he explained.
"Let's check everyone. You said it got missing at the washroom. Let's check the ones who came from the washroom first. Sarah, you are the only one who came from the washroom. I know you don't mind that we search you first " Isabella said. I could see a smirk on her face.
"I have no say. You can check me." I said with my hands raised in surrender.
"No one will search Sarah. She isn't a thief " Kieran said angrily.
"Sweetheart, let them check me. It's understandable. Every lady will be checked so why should I be an exception? I asked.
With that said, Isabella walked towards me with a smirk. Before she could search me, I spoke.
"Why should you be the one to search me? Are you part of the security or you have started working as a searching agent?"I smiled. "Let the security search me cousin. It's their job not yours. Just watch and stop what you are doing. " I continued.
With that said, the security men began to search me. Whilst they checked my purse,one lady searched inside my dress. But they found nothing.
"Miss,it's not with her. "
"What? It is with her. Check again" Isabella said, confusion plastered on her face.
"Why are you looking confused Sweet cousin? And why are looking at me like that. It's not with me and you saw it so what is it?"
"It must...."
"Cousin, it's not with me and it's final. Please carry on your search. I'm not the only one here." I could see through what Isabella was doing. 'Really?'
The search continued. Everyone was searched except for Isabella.
"It is not found "the head of the security agents announced.
"Oh I see. But Isabella has not been checked. Is she special?"I asked.
"What are you implying? Do I look like a thief. My family is the second richest in the country. How can I steal a brochure. If anyone stole that brochure, then it's you. Afterall you are the nobody here"she said.
"Isabella, I didn't say you stole it. You see,everyone here is rich. But they allowed themselves to be searched. Why should you be an exception? Tell me?"
With that,everyone started murmuring to themselves, nodding that indeed Isabella should be searched as well.
