THE BILLIONAIRE'S BRIDE

27. REHEARSAL DINNER

ANDREA

"Wow, look at you pumpkin. You look so pretty my beautiful daughter." My father praised me as he saw coming downstairs.

"Thank you so much dad." I said and hugged him tightly. 

"Where is Adam, Drea?" My mother asked as she didn't spot Adam with me.

"He is having an important conversation with his brother and Zac". I said and embraced my mother in a warm hug.

Adam has been acting weird ever since he saw Ali's bestfriend at the beach this evening.
I recalled when we saw Eleanor this evening. 

" Who is she, Adam?" I asked him as I saw him looking at her in shock, hate and disgust.

"No one baby. We should get inside." With that he dragged me with him towards the house.

" Adam, please I need to talk to you." Eleanor begged as she matched with his pace. He abruptly stopped and looked at her. Anger seethed through his eyes.

" There is nothing to talk Eleanor. Or should I call you Mrs. De Luca?" He asked mockingly. I was utterly confused at his behaviour.

"Adam, please." She begged as tears flow down her cheeks.

" For the last time Eleanor. Stay away from me. I swear that I will do something terrible that you will regret." Adam said in a dangerous tone that will sent shivers through spine.

Adam wrapped his arms my shoulder and pulled me towards his chest and we both began to walk inside the house. This time that woman didn't stop us.

Since then Adam has been acting weird and when I confronted him about what Eleanor has to say, he just brushed it off saying it was nothing.

I don't know Eleanor personally, but she is a great friend of Ali. She told me a lot about her. The girls also told me that Eleanor is actually Zac's sister. Well that a new news for me. If she is Zac's sister, then what's her deal with Adam? And why he yelled at her. There is sure something happened between them and I need to find out it soon.

" Then shall we move. I think Adam and his friends can find their way own." My dad suggested and linked his right hand with mine while mom's with his other hand. We together walked towards the backyard where the rehearsal dinner is happening.

We are having Ali and Harry's rehearsal dinner at the backyard of our beach house. Harry's parents, some relatives and few friends have already been arrived. Rest of his family are staying at Drew's hotel in Miami. 

" Grandpa, Grandma....." I yelled and ran towards my grandparents as soon as I stepped into the backyard. My mother's parents lived in L.A so I only get to see them during summer holidays and on Thanksgiving.

" My baby!!!" Grandpa hugged me tightly and patted my back.

" How are you my baby? Oh look Barbara. Our baby have grown so much. " Grandpa said to Grandma who was on his side.

"Yes. She looks just like Gia when she was her age." My grandma said, tears brimming her eyes . She engulfed me in a tight hug and kissed my forehead.

" You look so beautiful, baby." She said lovingly and caressed my cheeks.

" What about me grandma? Did you forgot about your other granddaughter?" Ali's voice cut our short reunion.

" Ahh! How can I forgot about my wild child?" Grandpa said and chuckled.

" Grandpa...!!!" Ali whined causing grandma to smack his head.

"Don't taunt my granddaughter Vincent." Saying that grandma hugged Ali soon followed by grandpa.
