Salina was already standing in the middle of hallway when Priscilla approached her.

"You are really going to pretend that everything is fine" Priscilla snickered. Salina rolled her eyes.

"And you have a problem with that?"

"I just.." She sighed. Something is off about Priscilla because the Priscilla she know would have a come back.

Salina just smiled waiting for the show to get on. Aaron was a bit late as he looked around. Then he silently come closer to her. She stiffen up but relax when he just stand beside her without a word.

Priscilla went away to bring Antonio down. It was not long before her ex-fiancee and Aaron's older brother walked in. Her eyes wander to the man who just walked in. His face cold and hard, eyes sharp. He seems familiar though.

Adriel Alvis Valentine looked almost similar to his father. He is tall and without a doubt handsome. The fact that he just confidently stand there mocking Antonio Alvis Valentine was quite the show. From behind Adriel she could see a petite woman peaked out. She looked almost like a dear caught in head light.

The tension could have been cut with a knife.

Adriel just stand there, his mouth lifted upwards in a mocking smile. His father, Mr. Antonio Valentine stare at him with his wife standing beside him.

For some reason Aaron looked tensed as Salina stand there with a look of boredom on her face with did not last longer.

Adriel walked up to his father who was in the wheel chair. Then looked at Priscilla who was standing right beside him. He step forward almost invading her space. His hand went to her cheen as he lift her cheen up.

"You look beautiful" Priscilla blushed when he leaned forward. Salina bite her lips hold onto her chuckle. What the fuck is going on in here?

"What are you doing?" Antonio yelled. He for once looked furious.

"I am trying to seduced your wife, Why? " He asked chuckling.

Salina whistled, "That's entertaining" she whispered in Aaron's ear.

"Salina" He glare at her to behave.

"Austin" the soft voice echoed through out the room. Adriel turn to look at the woman. Now it clicked, Salina remember who is he and why does he looks so familiar. He is Austin McGregor. He is know to be one of the best surgeon in the country. She could almost see why Antonio wants him to be the heir rather then Aaron.

"Why are you hurt, love?" Adriel asked her.

"The only one I am ever going to kiss is you. You should know that by now" He said. Salina looked away it almost cute how he was trying to coax the little lady whose name was Marlyn, she get to know later on.

"Is this a joke?"

"Have I ever joked with you?" Adriel asked her coldly.

He leaned forward told his father coldly, "You asked me to come here and I will make sure to speed up your death" She smirked.

"If only he married me I would have definitely be more happy then I am now" Salina whispered her voice icy before chuckling. Aaron was silent not bothering to answer her.
