Charisma

Chapter 31

Recap:
He touched the canvas
His index landed on the corner of the painting
Victor
It said

Victor
I watched as her expression changing from smiling and laughing to shocked
"I-I umm.. I a-am sorry I did not k-know you're the f-famous painter" she said nervously

Tugging a peace of hair behind her ear
"It's okay , why are you so nervous about it?" I asked her chuckling
She laughed nervously before starting" what do you mean why am I so nervous?this whole , huge party is made for a single person , and that

person is sat here in the corner chatting with me and not actually having fun "she said smiling
"You don't know , perhaps that person prefers standing here with you Belle rather than having fun in the party " I said smirking making her blush

"Come on , I would like to dance with you" I said holding her hand
As soon as I laid my hand on her she flinched
And took two steps back
"I-i am sorry I h-have to go" she said quickly

I was so confused
Did I make her uncomfortable ?
I think I did , because after our little chit-chat I didn't see her anywhere
"- and of course we would like to welcome one of the world's biggest painters , Victor hill"

Everyone clapping and cheering waiting for me to go on stage and give my speech
" hello everyone " I started awkwardly
Not liking being in the "spot light"
"Growing up,
My father used to bring me here a lot , we used to sit near the lake and he used to tell me stories abou-"

i stopped , Spotting Belle standing beside a tall man his hand on the lower part of her back
But she seemed so uncomfortable, on the other hand he's chatting with other people not having a care in the world

Then I realized that she was telling him something
He nodded then she started walking towards the bathrooms

It was then that i realized people were staring at me
"- oh sorry and I want to thank you all for coming tonight it means a lot , thank you" I finished and went off stage as quickly as possible

I waited outside the bathroom doors until she went out
Then in a matter of seconds I dragged
her in the nearest room and closed the door behind me
"Wh-what do you want from me?"

She asked nervously
"I am sorry I didn't mean to scare I just I um.. I just.. I don't know I.. Who was that man?" I asked
" excuse me?" She asked confused

" the one you were standing next to , now "
"Oh.. He's my umm.. He's m-my husband" she said
" oh" I said chocked
