Chapter 8

Anger

KAYDEN

10 minutes before the programme starts but I still can't see any traces of Luzzi indside the venue. Don't tell me she fucking backed out? But my driver reported that she's here already.

Don't get me wrong. I actually don't give a fuck if she will show up or not. I honestly don't want her here as my date. Nickel told me to take this opportunity to start my plan. I don't have a choice. I don't bring girls when there are occasions like this, it's a nuisance for me to have someone clinging into my arms like a snake. I don't like the feels of it, like someone's owning me.

It took me a lot of courage to finally asked her to be my date for this night. I mean, it will probably look weird and strange if I were in her shoes. I don't know why I trusted Nickel with this.

The party's grand as expected. I bet his parents were the one who organized this, aside from celebrating their son's birthday, for sure they prepared a lot for business purposes also. I can see familiar faces around. My parents were also invited but they are currently in a vacation abroad. They must be enjoying their time together. They should. My mom deserved to be happy after all the tears she shed.

I looked and searched for her, I was about to call my driver again to make sure that she's really here but I heard some guys having a conversation that caught my attention.

"She's gorgeous as fuck bro. She's the prettiest here, I'm sure." the guy said talking to the other two who's just smirking at him.

"I was about to ask her name but she's with Aries Pineda. What a lucky bastard." the other one said with obvious dismay in his voice.

My brows furrowed. Aries got a date? He told me he's not going to bring anyone. Something's not right. I know I'm losing my cool now because of eavesdropping but I don't give a damn anymore. I need to know more.

"Nasaan ba iyang babaeng tinutukoy niyo? I want to see if she'll give justice on the compliments you guys just said." singit ng isa pang kasama nila na mukhang hindi maka-relate sa pinag-uusapan ng mga kasama niya.

Luminga-linga ang isang lalaki na parang may hinahanap at agad nagningning ang mata ng makita ang hinahanap nito.

"There she is bro! The one with the black gown." sabay turo pa. The three of them start gawking with the direction he pointed at.

Tiningnan ko ang tinuro ng lalaki at nagtangis ang bagang ko sa nakita ko. What a scene.

I can't believe what I am seeing right now.

I didn't think twice. Lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan ng dalawa na magkahawak pa rin ng kamay hanggang ngayon. Is she trying to flirt with Aries, too?

"What are you doing with my date, Pineda?" sabay pang napalingon ang dalawa sa akin na parang nahuli sa isang akto.

I dangerously looked at the surprised face of the bitch. What now? She's shocked that I caught her hitting on my friend?

I clenched my jaw when I saw their hands together. Nang makitang nakatingin ako roon ay agad niyang binawi ang kamay niya na parang napapaso sa kung ano. She abso-fucking-lutely love the touching of their hands. I am sure.

"I saw her on the entrance. The guard won't let her in so I did what I had to do." Aries said and I looked at him darkly.

He knows that I don't want them to meddle with my plan. I clearly informed them that.
