5. Being The Third Wheel Is Not Fun!

Hey guys! I've finally managed to update on time. But due to that, I have shortened the chapters length. So from now on it's going to be shorter chapters and quicker updates! It's a win win situation right?

Next off I would like to dedicate this chapter to the lovely JoteeMahadawo Thank you so much for voting! I hope you enjoyed the story so far and continue to support me. Once again thank you everyone!

  It was almost going to be midnight as I walked the corridor that led to my room. The guards that found me were initially adamant on reporting my appearance near the woods to my father. But due to my excellent persuasion skills, I was able to get away from them.

When did whining become a persuasion skill?

I rolled my eyes at myself. It's not my fault that people fall for my puppy dog eyes every single time. Not that I've used it much. Cause Luciana Paige never gets in trouble!

You're lucky you have an innocent face or else...

And that reminded me of someone else. Someone who had the face of an angel and a heart made of gold. Never had I ever expected that I would have had these experiences in my life.

It all seemed too real to be true. Meeting him in his room and then in the garden. It was like fate had a way to get me to him.

Or maybe it was just Taylor!

Either way I had been really lucky. But there were a lot of things going on in my mind. Why is he being kept a secret from everyone? And what did he mean by 'especially from the Anderson sisters'?

Did my sisters too didn't know his existence? That would be highly unlikely since they always know about everything that happened around here. But if it weren't for them who brought him here, then who could it be? Especially when he was actually to arrive on my birthday? There was no way in hell that my father could have known my undying crush for him.

I'd rather die than flaunt about Zachery's beautiful features in front of my father. My cheeks flushed red just by thinking about it.

                         ***********

Father: Paige, I would like you to meet someone. He is a really close business associate of mine and I want you to be in your best behaviour today.

Me: Yes father. Only the best for you.

I smile and perform a curtsy before taking a seat opposite to my father as gracefully as a young lady could. I straighten my back and place my hands on my lap with all the manners that I had been taught by my dear old sister. Even she would be so proud of me right now. The door opens and in comes, the great Zachery Styles and takes a seat next to father.

One second...

Two second...

Three seco...

Me: OH MY FREAKING GOD! THAT IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! PLEASE JUST MARRY ME ALREADY! I CAN NEVER IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT YOU! MARRY ME OR I MIGHT JUST DIE!

I jump up from my seat and leap onto Zachery's lap like a wild animal attacking it's prey! You could imagine the Mean girls cafeteria scene going on.

The chair bends backward and we come crashing to the ground. I kiss him all over his face in a heated pace. I grab hold of his shirt and pull up his body, shaking him vigorously.
