The next day Elan and Irish went to get their mother from the airport and Elan and his mother, Mrs. Mary were now discussing some business deals in the study.

"I feel so honored, to meet someone the whole country is dying to see" Mrs. Mary bragged.

"But mom..."

"No Elan. You're not coming, I promised her. Don't worry I won't for to mention your name so she knows she's your goddess" mrs. Mary cut him off.

"Mom yunno you're being unfair. Is this the reason why you dont want to let me enter the office?" Elan whined.

"Thats not the real reason, and you know you're never getting in there until you put à ring on somebody's daughter" mrs. Mary said and smirked.

"And mom, let's cancel the deals with the Jacobs family. I really dont know what grandpa was doing back then" Elan complained.

"I wanna change that too but im not changing anything until i see my daughter-in- law" mrs. Mary said getting ready to leave.

"And you'll get to meet her soon" Elan said and smirked stopping his mother in her tracks.

"You've got a girlfriend? Irish was not lying?" Mrs. Mary asked surprised and Elan nodded.

"Well, I just hope she's not a softhearted mind you this family I really toxic plus she'll have to deal with Lea" Mrs. Mary added.

"Lea? Why?" Elan asked confused.

"Elan, come on...that girl is into this deals like crazy and she's in love with you. If we cancel the deals things are going to get crazy" Mrs. Mary sighed helplessly.

"Lea is in love with me? No, she's just being..."

"She is, Elan. Remember what happened three years ago! If it weren't for his father caring about reputation more than anything in this world, we wouldn't be having this conversation" Mrs. Mary reminded.

"Maybe you're right..."

"Not maybe, I'm right! Can't you see all the effort that girl did all these years?" Mrs. Mary asked.

Things went well between Helen and Elan for the past two weeks and now it was finally Irish's birthday. The deal between Martins and McCarthy were finalized and the project was to begin the next month. The deals between Jacobs and McCarthy were not yet cancelled for the sake of Irish's birthday. Both brother and sister hated spotlight so any drama might cause ruckus at the baby's birthday hence holding on.

Anna was clinging on Miguel while he was avoiding her like a plaque but Anna was just too smart for him. She always tricked him into meeting her and now he had no choice but to bring her with him to the party, not that she wasnt invited.

Anna was one the daughter of the biggest shots in the country and business partners with McCarthy family. Irish was grounded again before her birthday as she tried sneaking out with the same clothes she's been warned not to wear before her birthday. There were rumors that Irish was not straight but that never get to the media because the family took care of it before things got out of hand.

The family Cared more about the happiness and they did not do things for the camera, the truth is Irish is straight it's just her taste in fashion that says otherwise. Elan and his mother didn't care much about Irish's taste or gender, they were just worried that the paparazzi might catch Irish and now the party will be crazy.

The party was held at Martins Empire hotel, everything was ready and the guests were still arriving and others were just getting along. There were some big shots who got invited, some sent the youngsters to represent them as this was a teen's birthday party but some old bones still came to get more deals and make money out of it by collaborating with others.

"Ok...let me get this straight, the crazy girl called you crying and you just went there running? Elan are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Michael asked and grinned.

"He's gone, bro" Elan said shaking his head.

"This is not funny guys! She's just...I don't even know" Miguel said frustrated.

"Crazy, right? And I've never thought you're into crazy girls..."  Michael said and chuckled.

"I'm not into her, ok?" Miguel said throwing a deathly glare at them then stood up and went out banging the door hard.

"I feel sorry for him" Michael said  shaking his head.

"Yeah and he's going crazy because he's not accepting his feelings" Elan said and sighed.

"Whoa! You guys are really gone!" Michael said and chuckled sipping his wine.

"And you?" Elan asked raising a brow.

"Who? Me? Nah I'ma die single" Michael said.

"You said you're in love with someone when we were playing" Elan said and Michael started coughing.

"Whoa! Easy there" elan said and chuckled.

"My love is impossible" Michael said and chuckled.

"We better start going" Elan said changing the topic. He understood that Michael was not ready for that conversation.

At the party:
At the entrance were lots of reporters, one would think this was a fashion show not a teen's birthday party. Everybody was dressed to kill, ladies wearing beautiful evening gowns and men in suits that screamed money. Gold and silver jewelries, latest clothes from different brands, latest designer shoes that screamed money.
***

Some clicking sound could be heard and some screams followed. People inside turned to look at the entrance, everybody was curious to know who was coming in.
***

At the entrance:
Elan, Mrs. Mary, Irish, Miguel and Michael we're making their way inside, they just finished dealing with the reporters and now they had to deal with the people inside!
