Veracious Affection

Chapter 21

✨ Celestia ✨

It has been seven days and hadn't gone home to London. Angie kept informing me about how he was and I was satisfied, he needed to cope with he anger on his own, me and him were never meant to cross paths. I wasn't the type to fall in love. And he was about to be distracted as football season was approaching and he was about to be competing with the all time rivals. I was a distraction to him and so was she to me. I needed to give him space to breathe, maybe the word she said where just to make me feel better about myself and not worse.

I even planned to inform my father of how I was done with him and the marriage agreement, but I had to do all that after the launch. I had stayed over by Zach's for those particular days and for some reason he was acting harsh towards me. I didn't care, as long as his wife was welcoming I didn't need to feel his presence.

The driver opened the door for me and I let my right foot out, my heel made a sharp sound that quietened the crowd entering the building. I let out my other foot and stood up, everything I worked for all my life was facing me. A product that could heal scars faster than the prescribed medication I used all my life, my product was for those who can't protect themselves form their wicked relatives, to help them overcome their scars and wounds silently but defend themselves loudly.

The driver held my hand and I smiled making my way inside the building.
I greeted the security at the door as I entered and met Mrs Kekana.

"You outdid yourself Celestia, I love this elegant theme you set out."

I smirked, "Celestia never fails to impress, Thank you for making it and ensuring the safety of my company and guests."

She sipped her wine and shrugged, "It's all not too bad, your guests are well behaved."

I chuckled, "Of course they are. Seeing the hunks you have out here who wouldn't be?"

I made my way to the stage and a familiar face bumped into me, "I am so sorry, I need to watch where I'm going."

I just let it slide and focused on my launch. Angie attended to the guests and they are served food before anything else, my personal favourite.

Whilst grabbing a few snacks a pair of hand grabbed my waist, I trined to meet with the last person I wanted to see.

"What are you doing here London?"

He grinned, "To support my wife."

I roughly pushed his arms away and took a few steps away form him, "I thought you would be one of my haters."

"On the contrary I'm not, I'm the only person in this room who loves you as much as you hate me."

Not again, I knew where the conversation was headed and I need to leave it hanging.

"I need to go get something from Angie so pleas excuse me."

He smirked, "Angie is busy engrossed with Alex."

I scanned the room for her and what London said was true, as for that relationship I needed to know about it.

"Layla needs my help."

"Layla seems to be accompanying the guards at the door, she must find their biceps amusing."

I took a glass and poured wine into it, "I don't love you Andrew get that into your head."
