Chapter 19
Smiles stood before the mirror, beautifully dressed in the red ball gown. Her cherry brown hair falls to her back, giving her an extinguishing look. The looks that kill. Her Amber blue eyes shine so brightly under her perfect long lashes.
The slightly pink blush makes her look even more gorgeous. Her beauty can make men go to their knees. Well, except one, Keane.
She picks up her black shiny purse. She was all set and ready to go.
Outside the mansion, was a black Limo waiting for her. She was stunned, but with no questions she walked in, allowing the man to lead her.
It was the man she met the day she damaged Keane’s car, his driver. This only means he is in town, or maybe not.
She arrived in front of a big building. She steps out of the car, and her heart pounds in her chest. Taking in a deep breath, she walks forward, on the red carpet.
It was crowded, with media people everywhere. Thank God she wasn’t a celebrity or a business lady, they let her pass without questioning. Some took pictures of her, why won’t they? When her dress is worth causing a commotion.
Sitting by the side, Smiles silently watched them do speech after speech. When it was time for the groom to make a speech, Mark walked up to the stage. He was dressed in a black suit. His black hair is styled behind.
“I appreciate everyone who has made it here to celebrate this special day with me…It has always been the day I’ve anticipated the most and here I am, experiencing it…with the most beautiful and wonderful woman on earth, Xena Willard” He said, extending his hands for Xena to hold. Which she did.
“Finally you are speaking out your heart” Smiles scuffed. Rolling her eyes.
“My life before you had always been a journey but with you here, it is my destination. A place I will forever want to live in” He said those words staring at Smiles, not blinking.
“Thank you” he ended his speech. The crowd cheers, and he turns and captures Xena’s lips. Smiles go away feeling disgusted. They do irritate her.
She pours out wine and gulps it all in one goal. She aimed at taking just a glass but everything changed when she saw Keane, surprised he was back. What surprised her most was him hovering all over a girl, dressed in a shiny green dress. The looks in his eyes when he looked at her, it was different…just so different.
They stood so close to each other like they were couples. Their intimate position was like an invisible knife piercing her soul. What aches her more was the fact that he was in town, but didn’t find it important to inform her.
Why should he? She was just his sex slave and nothing more.
Without realizing it, she’s taking down four glasses of wine. She felt a little bit dizzy, but ignored it and took another.
She stood up, excusing herself. She could barely stand still, she thought she would be able to handle the wine but it seemed like she was wrong, it was just too strong for her.
Mark stood from a distance, watching her waste herself. He wanted to go to her, but with everything in him, he stopped himself from going.
He doesn’t want Xena to know he still has feelings for her. He truly loved Smiles but just couldn’t keep her as his forever. The reason is best known to him.
He watches her left to the restroom, supporting herself so she doesn’t fall.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Smiles walk into the bath, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“You are a fool, yes, you,” she said, drinking, pointing at her reflection.
“Or maybe a good for nothing,” she said, twisting her face as if it would burst out in tears any time from now.
“No you aren’t…it’s just so unfortunate you get to meet the unlucky ones” She smiles at her reflection. Touching her cheeks.
“You don’t need anyone, all you need is you…just you” She said encouragingly to herself.
Stepping out of the restroom, she was grabbed by Mark, leaning against the wall. His blue eyes stare at her with so many long and unspoken words.
“What the fuck are you doing? Get off me” She pushed on him. Her strength was no match for him, he didn’t move an inch. More to it, she was drunk, and could hardly stand still.
“Get off me, you stink’ ‘ she cries. She was helpless and knowing what he could do, she didn’t want to stay here any longer. Why did I even leave the hall? She thought to herself, regretting.
“I’ve missed you so much…haven’t you missed me too?” He said in a husky voice. Trailing on her bare skin.
“I rather miss death than miss you…let me go” she cries again, hoping someone will hear her. But it was all in vain.
“I’ve missed the sweet and addictive taste of your beautiful lips” his tombs rub on her lips. She turns her face to the sight, feeling disgusted.
“Please, just let me go!” She begs, knowing she has no power to fight him. He pulls her into the bath and closes the door. Without a care in the world, he slams her back against the wall ever so roughly, capturing her lips.
Smiles cries inwardly, trying all her best to push him off but to no avail.
Was this how it was going to end? Feels helpless under his disgusting kisses but can’t break free. Tears rolled down her cheeks, a sign of pity and helplessness.
Even though she knew fighting won’t save her, she didn’t stop. He moves down to her exposed neck, kissing it. Taking in her beautiful rose scent…how he’s missed it.
The door flew open, startling the man who was busily forcing another girl into making out with him.
Keane walks in elegantly. Mark’s eyes were wide in surprise…what’s he doing here? He questions inwardly, not daring to say a word.
Smiles were too weak to even realize what was going on. With the last strength in her, she opens her eyes, wanting to see the man who is safe here.
It was…Keane, her master…
“Master!” She calls out in a weak voice, falling. Keane caught her, circling his arms around her while Mark stood, not understanding what was going on…
