Mallory walked around greeting her guest when she saw Bellami walking towards her.
"You actually showed up, do you have something up your sleeve?" Mallory asked Bellami who frowned.
"No, I simply showed up to be here with my family and I thought you'd want to see your nephew" Bellami looked at her baby that was for once in her arms however the nanny was still with her.
Mallory stretched her hands out to hold her nephew. "Dimitri is here" Mallory looked at Bellami who turned over her shoulder.
"Table in the left corner behind me" Mallory said. "Does he have something up his sleeve?" Bellami asked.
"He follows his mommy always and my grandfather invited him" Mallory shrugged before handing Bellami her son back.
"Congratulations Mal" Bellami said before Mallory could walk away. "Not sure you mean that but thanks" Mallory said.
"I mean it" Bellami said and walked away.

"That's like your third shot" Devin said to Liam.
"Third times a charm, I'm kidding but I need some slow music because she's clearly not going to dance with me to this music" Liam said to Devin.
"Okay start making your way over to her while I ask for 'slow music' and see what I can get" Devin said.
"Make sure it's something people will want to dance to as well" Liam said as he walked towards Noelle's table where she was seated with her family.
Devin walked over to the dj and asked to play something slow. "For your wife and you?" The dj asked.
"For us and anyone who wants to dance. Can I see your playlist of slow music?" Devin asked. The dj nodded and moved aside to let Devin see the music on his macbook.
"I'd recommend this one" The dj pointed and played it only in his headphones and handed them to Devin so he'd listen to the song. Devin listened and smiled. He nodded and looked at the dj, "this one is it, let this one end and let me borrow your microphone before playing it" Devin said.
Devin stepped down and walked in front of the dj as he was handed the microphone.
Liam stopped walking when he heard Devin tap the microphone and frowned. Devin looked at him then at Mallory who stood near her family's table.
"Good evening to every single one of you who have joined us today I hope you're having a great time. I want to have a dance with my wife but also if you who would like to dance would join us I'd be thankful. Mal" Devin looked at Mallory who smiled and began walking towards the center of the dance floor with Devin.
Mallory held Devins hand and put her other hand on his shoulder as he put his free hand on her waist and the song You are the reason by Calum Scott and Leona lewis began playing.
"Is this our fist dance?" Mallory asked. "No our first dance will be just you and I but this is a great song for us and to help Liam" Devin smiled. Couples began to join them.
Liam walked to Noelle's table. "Mr Cassidy" he greeted Benjamin first.
Noelle looked up at Liam and could tell he was nervous but she liked that he had greeted her father first.
"Can I have this dance?" Liam asked Noelle who smirked and nodded before taking his hand. He let her walk in front of him to the dance floor and they both got in position to dance. Liam turned to look in Devin and Mallory's direction and winked when he saw them looking at him.
After the dancing Mallory left Devin alone to continue greeting the guest as she was taken into her home to have her makeup retouched.
Bellami walked towards the bar where Noelle and Liam were having a conversation as they waited for their drinks.
"Grimaldi" Bellami said as she stepped beside them completely ignored Noelle. She continued to order a glass of champagne.
Liam raised his brow when he saw someone very familiar walking towards them. Bellami nor Noelle didn't see because they were facing the bartender.
"Grimaldi, great to see you" he said and slapped hands with Liam. Noelle turned to look and smiled before they greeted each other as well.
Bellami was the only person who didn't turn because she recognized the voice. She didn't know if she was scared or nervous but she didn't want to turn however she was handed her glass of champagne so she could easily turn and walk away but she'd have to face him.
"She's their cousin" Liam said.
"Yeah I've heard and read a lot about you on the magazines and newspapers. Sometimes on tv. Congratulations on getting the company" He smiled at Noelle.
"Are you still moving here and there?" Liam asked.
"Not as much as when I had recently left but occasionally, we're actually coming back here and I plan to stay for good. I've helped my father enough with his business and I want to attend the university here" He nodded.
"Your father is here too?" Liam asked.
"Yeah, all my family actually" Ethan said.
Liam nodded then slightly moved his head to point to Bellami with his eyes.
"Bella" Liam mouthed as he pointed.
"Bellami?" He asked.
Bellami closed her eyes as she held onto her glass of champagne before chugging it. She set the glass down and turned with a slight smile when she looked at him, "Ethan" Bellami was looking at her ex boyfriend who she didn't think she would ever see again.
It was no secret that Ethan had been the only guy to actually ever love her but she left him when she couldn't bare the guilt of the abortion she had with their baby.
"How are you?" Ethan smiled. "Great, how have you been?" Bellami asked before looking at Noelle and Liam.
The three of them could tell how nervous Bellami was.
"I've been great too" Ethan said.
"I didn't know you would be here, it's been awhile that your family and you stopped attending any events of ours" Bellami said.
Liam looked around the party before quickly turning back to them.
"Well it was great seeing you, excuse us" Liam said to Ethan. He took Noelle with him to leave them alone but that was not the only reason.
"That's her ex boyfriend" Liam said to Noelle. "Explains why she was nervous" Noelle responded.
"He said his whole family is here, as in here" Liam said still looking around.
"He did, why?" Noelle frowned.
"Devin was worried that Zeke would show up to stop the wedding, he told me he overheard Mallory telling you that she spoke to Zeke like a week ago i think and he thought that Zeke wouldn't give up but Zeke didn't show up. If Ethans whole family is here, Devin has something more to worry about than Zeke" Liam said.
Noelle was confused.
"What are you talking about?" Noelle asked.
"Ethan the guy who we just spoke to is related to, Her" Liam pointed.
"And who is she?"
"Avah. Devins ex girlfriend. The girl he was in love with like I am with you" Liam smirked.
"You saw the chance and you took it" Noelle answered.
"I'm glad you caught it" Liam smiled but walked to look for Devin to inform him.
