After our bathroom encounter I went back to the hall with a fake smile plastered on my face.

I greeted some guests that I didn't even know. I guess they were Elias's friends.

My dad was alone so I.went and sat next to him. "Sorry dad, I had to fix my make up."

"It's not a problem." We sat there in silence for a few minutes till he said something that really surprised me. "I don't get this whole thing. First he wanted to marry Adriana and then he- he suddenly just changed his mind, without a reason."

"What?" I asked confusingly. "What do you mean without a reason?"

"He just came and told me that he wants to marry you instead, he said that Adriana decided that she'll abort the baby and-" he face palmed. "This is really weird and I don't know what to say anymore."

Adriana wants to abort the baby? What...I never knew about that.

Fuck, that made me feel even more bad. She'll abort the baby just because of me.

"Dad, I didn't know about this. I mean I was surprised when I found out that Elias wants to marry me but- I never knew that Adriana wanted to abort the baby."

"It was really hard for her Paris. She was so devastated." He said with a sad tone. "I want what's the best for her but I never expected for her to miss such a chance like this one. I mean having a baby with one of the richest man is...amazing." I knew that this made my father sad. Just as he said, they missed such a good chance. Oh but if only he knew that the baby isn't even Elias's.

I patted his shoulder and gave him a small smile. "Everyone will find their own right path in life dad, we just have to wait for the perfect time." With a smile I stood up from the table, leaving him with a half opened mouth.

I really needed a drink.

A waiter was passing by my and I grabbed a glass of wine. "Thank you." I said and gulped it down. I wasn't a big fan of drinking but in this moment I really needed something to make me relax.

Looking around, I spotted Elias sitting down next to an older woman and a girl. Hmm who are they? I was kinda curious because he looked kinda happy while sitting with them. I mean much happier then he was with me.

My curiosity got the best of me and i walked towards them. Just when i was about to sit Elias looked at me, making me froze with those cold eyes. He then continued talking with the woman and I saw this as a chance so I sat down.

"Hi, I'm Paris." I extended my hand for a handshake towards the woman.

"Oh hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Tessa." She said with a smile and stood up to greet me with a hug. How is everyone so welcome and sweet except Elias? Weird. "You're so beautiful, our Elias is really lucky." I fake smiled and nodded.

"Aw thank you." I said and extended my hand towards the girl that was sitting here too. But, nothing, she didn't even spare me a glance. I furrowed my brows and just pulled my hand back. "Oh, okay then." I chuckled awkwardly and sat down next to Tessa.

I don't know why but I could feel an uncomfortable tension in the air. Tessa didn't say anything and Elias was looking at me with his angry stare. What did I do wrong now?
