It All Starts With a Lie

The Party Night

Chapter 18: The Party Night

*******

It was evening. The party had already begun. Indie and Grandma were standing at the main gate and were welcoming everyone. Meanwhile, Jason and Lorenzo stood beside each other meeting and talking with the guests. "Where's Ella?" asked Lorenzo

"I don't know," Jason replied.

"You should know" Lorenzo Replied. "Go and check why she isn't here."

"But why? She'll come when she wants," Replied Jason 

"I said go!" ordered Lorenzo.

"Okay Dad, fine. I'll go." Jason replied and went upstairs to their room to find Ella. He knocked on the door and entered. Ella was in the bathroom. 

Jason walked near the bathroom door, "What are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you downstairs. Come fast!" After saying that, Jason like, 'he didn't care about her' went off the room.

At the same time he opened the room door, Ella opened the bathroom door. 

"Am I... Is this okay on me?" Asked Ella.

When he heard her voice, he turned back 180 degrees from his position to watch her wearing the dress of his choice.

"I never wore this type of dress." Ella continued.

Her looks and hairstyles were only worrying Ella. The truth was she was looking gorgeous. Her beauty and body for the dress denoted that this dress was only made for her. The red, skin-tight dress had a deep V-neck. From the waist, the dressed showered over her legs till the ground covering her shiny, golden heels. Her gleaming makeup completed her for this night.

"Gorgeous!" whispered Jason in amazement. Jason was so amazed looking at her. He with his goggled eyes was looking at her from top to bottom. He wanted to act like he didn't care about her but tonight her beauty was seducing him, to get into her again and again. She made him fall for her. 

"What?" asked Ella as his voice wasn't clear to her. 

"My choice is better for you than yours," Jason replied.

"Are you sure?" Ella asked.

"Yes!" Jason replied.

"That means. I'm looking better than you," replied Ella.

"Rubbish! A dress is never a sign of beauty. My handsome face is enough to win any girl's heart," Jason replied with a high tone as if he is at some declare.

 "But you can never win mine." Ella replied.

And both started laughing together. It was a joke for them as this conversation, they used speak same words in their childhood.

"Let's go!" Jason said by offering his right hand to Ella. She places her left hands on Jason's. He took her all the way down holding her hand to the living area where the party was held. 

When they came down, they saw Roger and Rohn, they were sitting on a chair at the front bar. They walked to go meet them but Rose came in between and started, "Hey Guys! I'm Rose. I did all the arrangements for today. How is it?" 

"hmm... Nice. Thank you so much for doing this for us... And nice to meet you again," Ella replied.

"I hope that you both to be happy together for your life," Rose replied back.

"Thank you so much. We'll try our best to maintain our wedding.....," replied Ella.

Jason intruded, "I think you should do your work for which you gave your word." 

"I am," Rory replied.

Listening to this, Ella was surprised. Jason was disrespecting her. She turned her face to Jason staring at him with her eyes wide open, "How can you disrespect her?" Ella whispered.

"You don't know who she is. So stop talking!" Jason spoke back to Ella. His voice was audible enough to Rose which made her embarrassed in front of everyone. But Jason didn't care about these things, he took her with him pulling her hands which still they were holding to Rohn and Roger.

"What's your problem? You can't rule me." Ella said in anger.

"Stay away from her!" replied, Jason.

"Why?" asked Ella.

"I can't. I can't tell you the reason." Jason replied in a soft and calm tone. He turned his face like he's hiding something. 

"Why?" Ella asked again.

Jason had nothing to say, so, he turned, went and sat beside Rohn and Roger. "What's up, guys?" Jason asked.

"Enjoying tonight with this seventh glass." Replied Rohn. "Cheers!" Rohn and Roger clinked their glasses.

"Why you can't tell me the reason?" Ella intruded.

"I've my own reasons," replied Jason.

"What reason?" asked Ella.

Jason was irritated with her question. She was being too much nosy. He said, "Okay then. Tell me the reason why you married me, I'll tell you the case of Rose."

"N-No need. I can find on my own," said Ella.

"Why you get freeze when I ask anything about this marriage?" Jason asked.

"You guys, Stop it. I just wonder how you're going to live together for an year...." Roger intruded in between.

"Shhh! Lower your voice Roger we aren't going on a war," asked Ella.

The party went nice and enthusiastically. Ella and Jason danced together but there wasn't a such thing called love between them. It was around three in the morning, and the party ended.

Jason and Ella changed and was about go to sleep as they have go on a mission tomorrow.

"So you sleep on the couch. I'll be on the bed," Ella said.

"Excuse me! Today's my day of sleeping on the bed not you," replied Jason.

"Well. If we apply full Maths, from the day 1 we got married, till today, today is my day to sleep," Ella replied.

"But today is the first day we're sleeping together in this room," Jason replied.

"Okay than you go on your rules, I'll go on mine," replied Ella.

"What do you mean?" Jason asked.

"It's your choice about sleeping on the bed or the couch. My decision is clear, I'll spend my night on this bed." replied Ella.

"What do you mean? We'll sleep together?" asked Jason.

"You can. If you've control," replied Ella.

"What about the contract?" asked Jason.

"Who cares. The thing which you did today in the morning, already broke it. So, don't talk about the rules and contract. You're the one who trespassed  the contract first. I'm already going on the basis of rules in the contract," replied Ella.

"Nowhere in the contract is written that I can't show you my body not you can see." replied Jason.

Ella was stuck. She didn't knew what to say next. She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and started again, "But still, I'm on my rules."

"And I'm on mine," Jason replied.

"Okay then. Let's see what you can do," Ella replied.

They knew what to do. They both suddenly walked to the opposite corner of the bed, faced towards it, and started running. The one who reach the bed first, will get a chance to sleep tonight on the it.

Ella was first to reach. But it wasn't of any use. "Ring! Ring-Ring!" Ella and Jason phone spoke with a sync.

"There has been an attack on the headquarters."
