As the guest continued to arrive, the girls along with everyone else headed to the ballroom. Kai and I would be making our grand entranceter. I had to give Ka her credit; the ballroom was

absolutely beautiful. I suddenly became anxious thinking about our wedding. Just then, Kai called ollime. /li/ol

“Hello imy /iilove/i.”

“Hello iback/i. iAre /iiyou /iidressed/ii?/ii” /i

i“/iiEmm /iihmm/ii, /iiI /iijust /iifinished /iithe /iirest /iof imy /iimakeup/i. iYou/ii?/ii” /i

“iI /iibet /iiyou /iilook /iibeautiful/ii. /iiI /iican’t /iiwait /iito /iisee /iiyou/ii. /iiAnd /iiyes/i, iI /iiactually /iijust /iifinished/ii./i”

I smiled lightly thinking about how handsome Kai probably looked. He’d chosen a ck tailed three

piece suit. The tie, inside of the jacket and his mask all ent my dress. I beamed at the thought of

us rising together.

“iWell /itheni…/iI’ll isee /iiyou /iisoon/i. iI /iican’t /iiwait /iito /iisee /iihow /iihandsome /iiyou /iilook/i.”

We both paused for a moment before hanging up. We would be together soon. I just needed our

esteemed guests to arrive first.

The time was 6pm when the Rochesters and Jonathan arrived. I could feel my heart racing as they entered the ballroom. Thanks to the speakers that were ced, I could hear most of everyone’s

conversations.

i“/iMother! Do you see ithis/ii! /iiWhosever /iiparty /iithis /iiis /iitheir /itheme iis /iiway /ibetter than mine iwas /iithis /iyeari! /iNext year I want something iten /itimes ibetter/ii!/ii” /i

Olivia was pouting as she scanned the room. No matter what, everything had to always be about her. I chuckled at her arrogance of thinking she could outdo Ka Christiansen.

i“/iiDon’t /iworry dear…it iwill /iibe/ii!/ii” /i

And of course, mother was right there to indulge her.

i“/iDon’t iworry /iiLivie/i, iyou’re /istill doing better ithan /iGrd. iHer /iibirthday /iiis the /isame iday /iias /iiyours /iand

Cole spoke with a smug tone. And this was supposed to be the nice brother. What a joke.

“iWho /iiwould /iwant to ithrow /ia iparty /iifor /iiGrd/i. iThat’s /iilike /iithrowing /iia /iiparty /iifor /iithe /iimaid/ii./ii” /ifn20d8 ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FindN0vel/fn20d8

Brian sneered as they made their way into the ballroom.

i“/iiEnough/ii! /iiTonight /iiwe’re /iihere /iito make /iisure /iiwe’re /iion the /iigood /iigraces /iiof /iiHouse /iiChristiansen /iiand /iito /iialso /iimake /iisure /iiGrd /iies /iiback /iiwith /ius. iEven /iiif /iishe’s /iinot /iihere/ii, /iiwe /iican’t /iirisk /iiothers /iihearing /iiyou /iibad /i

Ever the business schemer, Noah really was just like dad.

As the party progressed, my father looked around in irritation.

“iWhere /iiare /iithe /iiChristiansens /iiand /iiwhy /iihaven’t /iithey /iiannounced /iiwho /iithis /iiparty /iiis /iifor/ii?/ii” /i

“Yes, ithis /iis irather /iiunbing /iiof /iisuch /iia /iiprominent /iifamily/i.

Just as my mother was chiming in, Ma and Theo walked directly behind them.

i“/iiEnjoying /iiyourselves/ii?/ii” /i

Ma’s words caused everyone to jump and turn around. If it weren’t for the masks, you would have been able to see all the color draining from their faces.

i“/iiL/ii–/iiLord /iiand /iiLady /iiChristiansen/ii?/ii” /i

My father nervously asked as they began to bow.

i“/iiMr. /i& Mrs. iRochester/ii./ii” /i

My father–inw stated in a stoic tone causing my father to shudder,

i“/iiWell/ii! /iIt’s a ipleasure /ito see iyou /iiboth/ii! /iiThank /iiyou /iiso /iimuch /iifor /iithe /iiinvitation/ii! /iiEverything /iilooks /iibeautiful/ii!/i”

“iOh /iiyes/i! iThis /iitheme /iwas iamazing/i! iYou /iitwo /ireally iknow /iihow /ito throw a iparty/ii!/ii” /i

My mother chimed in with my father. All this ass kissing was starting to upset my stomach.

i“/iAre you sure? You don’t think iit’s /iunbingi?/i”

My parents both stared at each other nervously. Suddenly, Ma let out a sardonicugh.

i“/iiJust /iikidding/i. iThank /iiyou /iifor /iithe /iipliment/i. iIt /iiwas /iiactually /iimy /iidaughter’s /iiidea/ii./i”

Sharon and Calvin bothughed nervously.

“iOh/ii, /iiwell/ii, /iiyou /imust ilet /ius ispeak /iiwith /iiher /iisometime /iito /iiget /iisome /iiideas /iiabout /iifuture /iiparties /iiand /iievents/ii! /iiAfterall/ii, /iiwe’re /iiall /iifamily /iinow/ii!/ii” /i
