Not To You (Billionaire's Secret)

chapter 10

Guests clustered at the corner of the ballroom. It had been decorated to look like a palace and everyone was dressed elegantly.

"Oh thank you."

"I'm so glad you're here." Abriella shook hands with her guest.

There was a short pause and her eye caught the face of someone. She stopped talking, walked past her guest and infront of her was Mrs Jade Wilson. The world most richest makeup artist, worth over five billion dollars.

"Oh my God." Abriella covered her mouth with her palms before spreading her hands to hug Mrs Jade. "I can't believe you are here. At my own ball. Thank you so much." Abriella said almost in tears.

"You're welcome. I'm equally honored." Mrs Jade held her head upright.

Diana groaned in the arm of justin. She turned to kiss him then caressed his lips with her thumb.

Smiles. "I wish that the day you will be by my side forever and never have to leave would come faster."

"Awwn." She laughed. "And i love you too honey." She kissed him again.

"What's by the time now." Justin asked. Diana strained and the screen of her phon shone brightly.

"9:00 sharp."

Justin groaned. "We have to get dressed."

"No worries, we'll be there on time. I know we still thirty minutes for ourselves before we can prepare to leave. Hmmm?" Justin couldn't help but chuckle.

As the conversation went on, Abriella vibes slowly ran down; just seeing Anerudo with other girls gave her some kind of hurt. How could she have failed to reveal the truth to herself; the fact that she knew she couldn't deny that she was in love with him. Even through the crowdy hallway she knew he could sense her staring. He took a sip from the glass cup in his hand and put his arm to his mouth like he was wiping it but froze at the sight of her.

She stared at him.

He stared at her.

Time stood still.

And then she saw it.

The emotion in his eyes.

Oh Anerudo.

"It's nice knowing you." He returned his attention back to the lady and shook hands with her. "Um, if you'll excuse me." Anerudo took a slight bow. "I'll be right back."

"I'll be over there." The lady said as she walked in the opposite direction.

"Abriella...Ella?" Mrs Jade Wilson folded her hands and exhaled deeply. Abriella blinked so quickly when she realized she hed been stuck in her thought. "Have you been listening."

"Oh yeah."

"So. I'll be going."

"G-going?"

"Yeah."

"But why."

Mrs Jade scoffs and smiles. "I just told you why."

"Oh, s-see you then."

Abriella watched as Mrs Jade Wilson escort scrambled their way out preventing paparazzi. She sighed to the realization that her best artist din't even stay up to three minutes.

"Anerudo." She gasped as she turned around.

"Surprised to see me?"

"Yes. I mean no. I mean i actually saw you down there so..."
