Chapter44.
The next morning, I woke up and the preparation of Riya's' engagement had begun.
Speak of the devil, she hissed the moment she took a glance at me.
Drama queen!.
Elena was pleased about the whole celebration, whereas the lady who is supposed to be her daughter wasn't, Riya for some reason tried earlier to back down from the alliance.
(8:00 pm)
The subsequent day, precisely eight in the evening, the whole mansion was filled with lots of guests who came in and out with gifts.
I watched by the side and saw the whole family smile and welcome everyone in, in the eyes of society, they were one happy family but behind, all danced in shadows.
A call came through my phone, I rushed upstairs to answer it, on my way to my bedroom, I walked past Riya's room and caught her crying alone, I know it wasn't my business, I just cannot stand seeing her in tears, and before you think anything, no! I am in no way falling in love with her.
Riya? Are you okay?".
I stepped in
Immediately she tried to stop the tears from falling.
"What are doing here, why can't you leave me alone?". She says turning her back at me.
Urgh! Riya has a way of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, I still don't understand, how her brain works, evidently if we use the right side of our brain to think, Riya uses her left, because she can't possibly say something good.
The call comes in again.
And as much as I'll love to cheer Riya up, it's important I answer.
I walked past and stumbled on a conversation that was meant to be a secret.
David was talking to a lady, in a dark corner.
"Please don't tell me that, you do know why I am marrying Riya, and pretending all day acting stupid".
David says, aggravated.
Their conversations were golden and might be the only way to stop Riya's wedding.
I picked up my hand and recorded everything.
I tried to go a little further, but a vase falls on the ground, gaining David's attention.
"Who is it?" He says moving in my direction.
I moved back and left before he gets me found out.
Afterward, Riya walked downstairs wearing a royal blue gown and a crown on her head, she looked like a princess going to meet her prince but in this case, her prince was two-faced.
Elena walked beside her and brought her to her soon-to-be husband.
The rings were sent out and given to them, with a frown, she pushed a hurtful Riya, who veered and slowly placed the ring on David's fingers
I had two options, it was either I get Riya to get engaged to a man like David or stop this alliance. However Riya the job done by tossing the ring to the floor.
"I am sorry ma! I am not going to get engaged to David".
She announced.
Everyone at the party went quiet.
I know Elena won't just quietly listen to her without doing anything.
In a fit of rage, she raised her hand to whack her, I came out and held her.
