Chapter 108
Akira's POV
"Holy shit, she is just like me," I murmured staring at her, she was a complete flawless beauty. When she flipped her hair, she was just like the goddess, as Wolfie described me. She should be the real goddess, not me. I stared at her in awe.
She was a queen commanding attraction, while I was nothing compared to her yet I felt connected to her, and I took a step to go to her. I don't know but I felt drawn to her.
"Hey step outside," I heard the uproar of reporters, pushing their way toward her and shoving me aside, while her bodyguard where pushing them aside, to avoid those photos clicking every second. I was falling when a strong hand grabbed my waist, I thought it was Wolfie but the scent was different.
"Hey careful Akira," I tilted my head to him.
"Casper, what are you doing here?" I said freeing myself from his hold, I didn't want to get into trouble with Wolfie, it's bad enough that he told me to stay away from Casper.
After Wolfie told me Casper was one of them, a wolf as well as an alpha of another Pack, so I saw the reason he might be a little uncomfortable with Casper beside me. He looked at me surprised, giving me that boyish smile of his while his eyes roved the area. "oh sorry, I didn't mean to ask that," I forced a smile.
"Oh, I was here because someone invited me and specifically requested that I come with my girlfriend," I look at him with my brows furrowed.
"Girlfriend? You have a girlfriend now?" He nodded and I looked behind him, "where is she?" I asked still looking around while his fingers were pointed in my direction, I looked behind me before I burst into laughter knowing he was pointing at me. "me?" He laughed.
"Yeah, She must have seen me a lot of times with you and then she assumed, we were dating, probably at the audition."
"She?" I asked with curiosity who would have wanted to invite me to this party. He parted his lips to say something but a voice came from behind us.
"CEO Casper, it's you? I knew it?" A man with cameras approached us, he had that smug grin, "Is she your girlfriend?' those were the words that followed.
"You both look like a couple made from heaven." Yet another joining the former.
"Is there a wedding to plan?"
"Who is the angelic face with you? Is she the future Mrs. Adams?"
"Are we expecting a big announcement tonight?"
"No comment and don't you dare take my photo," he yelled at the reporters, pushing his hand behind me while leading me into the hall, I wanted to wait for Wolfie so we both walked in but he was nowhere in sight and the place was filled with reporters and those annoying cameras taking a shot of us, it's getting so uncomfortable for me and I ended up using my clutch to cover my face.
"Just keep moving ignore them," he said as we walked into the ball but that didn't stop me from hearing the sound of the camera, clicking photos. "I am sorry about that, I know you wanted to wait for..."
"It's fine, it's that how the elite parties are filled with reporters? No privacy?" I asked letting out the breath I had been holding all these times.
"Wolfie did not tell you?" I shake my head. "Relax, don't worry you will get used to it, don't let them bother you, they are always these nosy but just one threat from one of these prominent men here, they are already cowering and deleting whatever information they hold against you, " I smiled, Casper's words lighten my mood a bit. "And you know, you shouldn't be nervous having such beauty is enough to attract these cameras. All you need do is smile at them and let them be enamored with your beauty." I hit his shoulder playfully glaring at him.
"You are one hell of a bad boy,"
"I am a bad boy?" He asked having that smug grin.
"Don't you know?" I said tilting my head to the side and looking at him.
"Then I am some bad boy trying to spoil some good girl."
"Oh..." My lips went round and covered it with my palm and he giggled, when I took notice of my surroundings, we were right inside the hall, it was like a Bazaar for the high and mighty. "I didn't know we were inside already."
"Yeah, and I think all eyes are on you," he murmured while we searched for where to sit.
"I don't think it's on me, they are eyes on the conglomerate king, Mr. Casper Adams, the most eligible bachelor of the country or should I say the world?" I said and chuckled and his gaze tilted to me having that confused grin on his face.
I know I had always been friendly with Casper but today, it seems a little too formal.
"Hmm... So if you are to rate me on a scale of one to ten what number will you place me?" I squint my eyes.
"You want an honest figure?" He nodded.
"I will give you nine,"
"What? Nine why not ten?"
"Nah... Someone else got that spot,"
"Who?" He asked I tilted my head looking around the hall and searching for Wolfie, where the fuck did he even disappear to. "I know, so don't bruise my egos, he is over there, you could go to him." I smiled staring at the direction he was pointing to, Wolfie was the one standing there.
"Sure, thanks once more," I said making my way through the audience, but one of these females was blocking my way. "excuse me," I told the female in front of me only for her to turn it was Linda.
"Wow, if it's not my little sister, Akira?" I gnawed my lips, Linda is the last person on Earth I would want to see here, not her.
"Linda?" Her name on my lips tasted so sour and my facial expressions were Enough to tell that I wasn't pleased to see her.
Since the necklace incident, she and her mother haven't bothered me or even called.
"Yeah me, how the fuck did you survive that? I thought you were dead?"
"That isn't funny Linda, setting your sister..."
"Oh fuck it, you are not my sister but one bastard, leeching off my mother,"
"How come I don't see it that way, it's you leeching off me, you and your mother are the two leeching off me." She laughed like a Maniac attracting people.
"Just because you have fancy wear that doesn't mean you could talk about my mother like that when you know you are a leech, not the other way around."
"Linda stop being dramatic?"
"Why? Are you scared that your lousy sister will spill the beans about how the fuck you sleep your way to the top? How many of them did you fuck? Casper? Wolfie? Name them?"
"Stay the fuck away from me," I said wanting to walk out, Linda pulled my hand roughly, and I lost my balance, I was tripping over when I heard a rush of footsteps and a masculine chest securing me.
"I guess she is a prostitute." One of the females gasped in disgust beside me.
"Hey dear, what's going on here? Are they bullying you?"
