KATHERINE'S POV.I chugged the rosè down my throat. My eyes scanned the body of rich stuck up individuals pretending to be happy for the shinning couple and that people including me.
It's not that I don't want to be happy for them. I just can't, seeing as the couple was my ex-boyfriend, my first love who cheated on me with my super hot older sister. And now after an on and off relationship for two years they are both engaged.
"You all right tiger?" A comforting voice brought me out of my daze.
I turned to the owner of the comforting voice, who is my favorite person in the whole world. My dad. He had a comforting and understanding look on his face and his eyes showed worry and concern.
"I'm all right Dad." I assured him and gave him my biggest smile.
He looked towards the shinning couple that were clunged to each other and smiled happily to the guest.
"I never liked him and I don't want him to marry my daughter but I have no choice but to think that they both deserve each other." Dad commented at which I smiled.
His attention was on the shinning couple and his expression shows he was thinking. He was right. They both deserve each other.
"I can't believe my baby girl is already engaged!" The shrill voice echoed thorough the decorated ball room.
The voice belonged to my dear mother. A small chuckle escaped my father's mouth at my mother's dramatics.
"I can't help but pity him. Melinda will suck him dry." Dad said. real concern showing in his voice and his expression changed to one of sincere pity.
Dad was right again. I also couldn't help but pity Alan even though he was cheating on me with my own sister five months into our relationship.
I and Alan met when I was completing my masters programs and although I didn't want a relationship, Alan changed my mind.
We started off as just friends and then we got to know each other really well and I being an hopeless romantic thought Alan was the one... Well until he met my big sister Vivian and said to hell with me.
Of course my mom supported the relationship seeing that Alan was the sole inheritor of his aunt's large fortune. It was no big news to the world that my mom and Vivian were .... Not quite gold diggers seeing as they are very well to do themselves- they can be described as fortune seekers.
My mom's family were rich but they battled with debt and bankruptcy. Then she married my dad who was from a wealthier family but then to mom dad wasn't wealthy enough.
She incorporated that value in my sister. To strive for only the best things of the world.
My sister have dated her fair share of very rich guys aging from very young to very very old guys but Vivian was different from my mom she wasn't as greedy but she seeks whatever she wants.
"Well he made his bed Dad." I said dismissing the feeling of pity that was begining to steer in me.
"It's a little late now Dad. I should get going." I looked at my watch surprised to see how late it was.
"Don't you wanna say goodbye to your mom first?" Dad asks.
I turned my attention to my mom who was chatting with her friends with bright and proud smiles on her face.
"I don't think she'll notice I'm gone. I'll just text her." I said as I gripped the strap of my clutch, ready to leave.
"Good night Dad."
"Goodnight love."
I closed my eyes as dad placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Text me as soon as you get home." He instructed.
"Of course." I gave him a small smile before I started heading out of the hall.
My eyes wandered back to the happy couple. My heart didn't ache anymore like it did two years ago when I thought the world was crashing down on me. It seemed like I've moved on.
I was wrong. Alan wasn't the one for me and although I should hate him,... I couldn't help but wish him the best of luck.
He's engaged to Vivian he'll need all the luck in the world.
