THEO'S REDEMPTION

Chapter 17

Where have you been? Mark greeted them with speculation on his eyes . He had an inkling that the pair went to the place were their angel buried. As a military he was a keen observant, and base from their aura they must have come to terms of letting go of the past. He was happy that both of them choose this happy ocassion to fully accept their loss  and  not to dwell  in pain  but  moving forward to  heal each other.

Theo had no qualm in showing his intention towards Amelia. From the moment they were back at the reception both of them were been holding hands. They don't mind that people were surprised as they passed  by their table and start whispering about them. Although Amelia is a bit shy and reserved, but with the help of Theo's powerful visage  she exudes in gaining cofidence herself as he proudly showed to everyone that she is his woman. She is not quite used to the attention she were getting everytime she attended any events, especially now all eyes were glued on them.  In the past  she graced the social events with her family only. This is the first time in years that people saw her with someone, not just someone and it's Theodore De Marco. Most people awed in curiousity for he is known the mysterious billionaire. They were intrigue in his presence at the Sinclaire's for he is elusive at any social gatherings.

Andrew is looking for you, as his best man it's time for your speech. Everyone has already done their part, even me. My brother almost teared up when I told him how happy I am that he already got married and I had no competition anymore from my parent's attention, he brag.

What are you,  a kid?  Theo scoff at Mark's childish behavior. I didn't know you have this sibling rivalry , he said it while holding Amelia on his side.

Don't forget I'm still here, even you cannot compete against me, Amelia wink at his brother who were stupefied.

"Wait here I'll be back,  Theo whisper to   Amelia  looking satisfied as he saw her  blushed and fluttering from delight when his breath brushed her cheek.

What was that? Mark sudden question woke up Amelia from daydreaming.

Amelia look at her brother with amusement in her eyes.

Have the two of you reconciled? I thought you're going to teach him a lesson for leaving you. You're way too forgiving Amie, how about let him grovel first, suggested Mark with a glint on his eyes.

Mmn...let me think first, I think your suggestion might be a good idea.

Amelia had a thoughtful look that worries Mark a bit, he just said it not really to provoke his sister from actually doing it. What if  Amelia would do it and Theo may come to know about him being the one who instigate his sister to make things difficult for him. He know Amelia could be a little mischievous, and when she think of something that benefits her, she would surely go for it. He shudder at the thought that Theo might take revenge on him.

Don't worry Marky, I won't let Theo know about your suggestion, Amelia said, mischief lurking in her eyes looking at his anxious face. She know about what Theo promised to both of her brother's,  that he would gifted them his prized collection. They've been looking forward to own  it for many years now.

Theo's resonant voice echoed at the reception area. People were excited to see him and gushing how handsome he look especially from the ladies who were making their  obvious admiration.

His gaze shifted to were Amelia at, their eyes connected in trance. Anyone could see Theo had a special feelings for her. His emotion  was bared from everyone who see him making no effort to hide what was in his heart.

Amelia was overwhelmed at the sensation of being the subject of Theo's affection. She was affected by his confession and were getting emotional as people gushed with amazement saying how lucky Amelia was to have Theo as her man.
