He was dressed in a neat black tuxedo suit which didn't hid his perfectly built body. The black curly hair on his broad chest peeped seductively out of the white shirt cuff.
He wore a pair of well polished black shoes to match and his wrist shone with a diamond wristwatch.
His long, curly black hair was parted at his forehead giving his face a more handsome look and he smelled so nicely.
He looked simple but anyone who sees him will know he emanated from wealth.
The word "riches" was spelt all over him.
Killian licked his already moist lips and Disha's inside coiled.
"Thank you" He said and she nodded.
"Shall we?" He stretched out his hand with a smile.
Her heart danced in her chest and she heaved a sigh before taking his hand.
Her hand already in his gave her another burst of feelings she can't even explain, but it felt so good.
His hand felt so warm against hers.
She rarely get to hold him this way .
"You guys don't have to go with us" Killian said to his bodyguards and they nodded.
He wanted to be free tonight, he would have told his driver to stay back too but he's not sure he would be able to drive on their way back.
He wished they didn't get to his limo so soon, he doesn't want the feeling her hand gave him to stop.
It was just too good.
The moment they both walked into the party hand in hand, everything seems to stop,gazes flew in their direction and jaws dropped.
Killian noticed how uneasy Disha is. He tightened his hold on her hand and she glanced up at him.
"Be at ease" He whispered and she nodded.
She loosened up after that even though gazes were still on them.
Everywhere gleamed brightly and there were so much entertainment.
One could tell immediately that the dinner party was filled with influential people, different expensive wears shone from different corners of the room,jewelries sparkled and Disha noted most of the ladies looked overdressed,she was surprised at the heavy make up most of them wore.
The host quickly rushed forward to welcome them.
He led them to a seat and made sure they were well comfortable.
The ladies rushed to their seat immediately the host left them and Disha glanced up,alarmed at the number of eyes staring down at her.
"Which fashion designer made your dress?"
"I want one"
"It's so beautiful"
"You bought it from Tanya fashion store?
"Wow! Just look at the Hem"
"Tanya's logo isn't on it!"
"Who's your fashion designer!!!!!?"
The ladies bombarded the stunned Disha with more questions flirting with Killian in the process.
"Chill" Killian said to Disha.
"I'll answer them" He added, knowing Disha was too stunned to speak.
She do see most of these ladies in magazine's cover. The are freaking wealthy!
And the surprise of seeing them in reality alone already made her mute.
Not to talk of the fact that they love her dress.
Her cheap dress!
"She made the dress herself" Killian said.
"Wow!" The ladies chorused.
"She's a great fashion designer, what's the name of her fashion store,we will love to patronize her" one of them spoke.
"Yes" The rest chorused.
Killian cleared his throat and glanced at Irene.
"Shiny fashions" He finally said and Disha stared at him in disbelief.
No...
He knew about Shiny fashions?
She remembered she told Summer about it,not him. Could Summer have told him?
"Shiny fashions?" The ladies chorused.
"It doesn't ring a single bell" one of them said and the rest agreed.
"That's because it's located in my house" Killian answered.
"Wow! Really?"
"Yes, you can have her contact and place your orders" Killian said.
"Killian, i don't even have a machine!" Disha whispered to him.
"Let them have your contact, they are willing to pay any amount " Killian whispered back to her.
"But how will i?..." She was saying.
"She's ready to give y'all her contact" Killian interrupted her..
"What!" She exclaimed inwardly.
She glanced up at the waiting faces if the ladies and sighed.
She shared her contact before the ladies dispersed.
Most of them openly flirt with Killian before leaving.
Disha's so sure each of them are here with their partner yet they flirt openly with another man!
"Killian, you shouldn't have made me give them my contact. It's true my parents once own a fashion store and i should have a machine but...i sold everything already, nothing is left" Disha said.
She had sold their parents machines to pay Lucien's fees and some other bills.
"When we get home, we'll know how to go about it. Let's enjoy the party" Killian smiled.
Killian was well respected, different influential people got up from their seats to say hi to him. Most of them proposed business to him, he simply gave them appointments and told them they couldn't discuss that here. He was so humble about the whole thing that Disha felt so proud of him.
She ignored the jealous gazes casted in their direction and slowly sipped her wine.
Diane burned with rage in her seat as she stared at Killian and Disha.
She had stood up with Aiden earlier to also glance at the couple whose their entrance caused so many gazes and seeing it was Killian and a lady broke her heart completely.
She wouldn't deny the fact that they both look good. Well.. Killian is always looking good but who the hell was that lady.
She couldn't believe it when Aiden told her she was Summer nanny.
She once saw the lady's picture but she wasn't this beautiful in it .
Diane swore under her breath, wishing she and Aiden had dressed up more than this cause it's so obvious that Killian and the wretched nanny won the best dressed couple.
To think the blogs would carry it tomorrow gave her head ache.
She can't just believe this!
The lady's wear look so unique and she was so sure it wasn't from Tanya's store.
Tanya would have showed it to her first before selling it out.
Where the hell was Tanya anyway!

"Hello!" Disha heard a feminine voice said.
She glanced up at the same time with Killian to see a woman whose dress was so tight to the extent that it was almost choking her.
Disha shifted in her seat as she saw Aiden Greenwood beside the woman.
"Hey Diane Greenwood" Killian smiled.
Greenwood? This Casanova even has a wife!
"Diane?" Disha thought.
The name rings a bell.
"Disha, meet Summer's mother" Killian said.
What!
She's Summer's mother?
Oh no!
"H.. hi" Disha said and the woman's look almost made her shiver.
Her gaze was so penetrating that Disha felt it.
"Killian, how could you bring a nanny to an influential dinner party. That's an insult to the host" Diane said.
"That's an insult to the host? Even the host is cool with it,i don't get why you're bothered. You're not the host" Killian said and Disha was glad he put her in her place.
The look on her face was so bitter.
The words really got to her.
"You should leave now, more people will be here to say hi" Killian said.
"I was not staying either. My husband and i have to be on our seats too. So many people have been coming to say hi, i just thought it wouldn't be nice to ignore my baby's father!" Diane said.
"Ohh...thank you" Killian sipped his juice.
Disha saw the cold glance Aiden directed towards Killian who wasn't even looking at him.
She noticed they didn't even say hi to each other, it shows they both have mutual dislike for each other.
The couple walked away and Killian laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Disha asked.
"Didn't you see how overdressed they're" He said.
"Ohh... yeah! And Diane's dress is almost choking her plus her makeup is too heavy" Disha said, shaking her head.
"Diane has always been like that. She's a party freak,she loves showing off and loves spending money on worthless things. " Killian said.
"Ohh...she looks like it. But...how come she's ...married to Aiden Greenwood!?" Disha asked.
"That's the path she chose for herself "Killian shrugged.
Disha sighed wondering if Killian knows how dangerous Aiden is.
She should tell him but..
"Let's dance" Killian stretched out his hand and Disha took it..
They joined the few people on the dance floor and started dancing to the waltz.
They weren't the only ones on the dance floor but they were the only ones people were staring at.
Slowly, couples started joining in and the dancefloor was filled in minutes.
Disha smiled,she was enjoying the dance so much even if she had stepped on Killian shoes severally.
The moment was magical for her as she stared into his eyes...
He was the only one she saw despite the dozens of people on the dancefloor.
He held on to her gaze and it felt like he was feeling the same thing as she was.
Their dancing steps slowed down and the next second,their lips were inches apart.
She wondered how that happened.
She wished she could pull back but her heart didn't agree with her, it pulled her closer.
Damn!
And just when their lips were about to touch, she felt something sharp pierce her by the side.
Killian noticed her movement suddenly stopped and he could hear her groan even through the music.
"What's wrong?" He panicked looking into her dull eyes.
"I..i " She swallowed hard and started breathing fast.
"Disha" Killian jerked her.
He was glad no one seems to notice what was going on.
"I'm fine" Disha said.
"Should we go home?" He asked and she shook her head.
Her eyes were still looking so dull, like she's in pains.
"What happened?" Killian asked worriedly.
He held her tightly,afraid she might fall.
"I..i think someone hit me by the side" Disha lied. Someone hadn't hit her, she had been to
pierced with a very sharp object and now she could feel she was bleeding from the side.
She thanked her stars she was putting on a red gown.
She couldn't let Killian know or he would make them leave the party immediately.
"Let go sit" Killian said and she quickly nodded.
She was starting to feel weak and she held her side tightly as Killian gently led her to their seat.
She wondered if someone had deliberately pierced her side.
Had it been a mistake? Or probably one of the pins on the ladies cloth had struck her by the side.
The piercing had just felt like it was a needle piercing but it affected her badly.
"Can i get water?" She asked Killian, trying to make her voice steady.
Killian grabbed a glass cup from the tray and poured some water for her.
She gulped it down her throat and the pains relieved her a bit..
She asked for more and Killian gladly poured more for her.
"Are you sure you're fine? We can go home if you're not feeling so well" Killian said.
"No, I'm fine" Disha smiled.
She felt relieved after gulping the water.
She touched her side and almost winced in pain.
It's hurting badly.
"You can return to the dancefloor, any lady would gladly dance with you" Disha said.
She can't deny him of enjoyment just because she was feeling down.
"No, I'm fine here with you" Killian said.
"No, you came to this party to have fun, i can't kill that fun just because I'm not feeling too well. Just go enjoy yourself" Disha said.
"I'm fine here with you Disha" Killian said.
"No, it's making me feel guilty for depriving you of your fun"
"I don't..." Killian was saying.
"You want me to feel guilty?" Disha interrupted him.
"No" Killian said.
"Then go dance, please" Disha insisted.
"And i even wanna visit the restroom" Disha added.
She needed to wash off the blood by her side.
"I actually don't feel like dancing anymore, it doesn't mean I'm not having fun. I am, merely looking at those on the dancefloor" Killian said and Disha sighed.
"Don't feel guilty okay?" He said and she nodded.
"So, where's the way to the restroom." Disha wondered looking around.
"I'll come with you" Killian said.
"Huh?" Disha asked.
"I mean I'll show you the way" Killian said.
"Ohh... okay" She said and they both stood up.
"You've been there before?" Disha asked as Killian knowingly led the way.
"Yeah, I've been here for several businesss meetings" Killian said.
"Ohh..." Disha said,glad Killian was walking ahead of her.
She got the chance to peep at her side and she could see how soaked her dress was.
"Wow" she mumbled to herself.
"Thank you" She said to Killian when he showed her the restroom.
She walked in and shut the door after her.
Her next move was looking at her reflection in the mirror.
She glanced at her side and shook her head.
She never thought she'll leave this party with a wound.
She slowly pulled her gown and finally had a clear look at her side.
The wound is so tiny, and it looks deep..
Definitely it hadn't been an accident!
If it was, it would have just been a scratch but this is so deep which clearly shows that someone had indeed pierced a sharp object in her side.
Could it have been Aiden's bodyguards?
No, she saw no bodyguard with him.
Could it have been Aiden himself.
And what was she about to do with Killian before the incidence?
Gosh!
What the hell is going on with her?
**
Disha walked out of the restroom after she was done, she glanced around for Killian but couldn't find him.
She saw a lady resting on the wall beside the restroom,she was surprised cause she hadn't even noticed the lady who was standing so close to her.
Her dinner gown was black with silver glitters all over it, her make up looks pretry heavy just like the other ladies in the party.
