Adrian's POV
What in the world just happened

I kissed Cinthia

And the she puked on me

Eeeww

"Adrian you are so foolish", I said to myself as I couldn't stand another second drenched in her vomit so I rushed into shower immediately as I thought of ways to ruin tonight's dinner with Cinthia.

    Okay just a little bit of problem,I never asked her out yet.

     "Okay what should I do", I thought for a second then an idea popped in,my mum.

Cinthia's POV
The creaking of the bathroom's door got me alerted as I looked up to see Kate.

      I immediately wiped away my tears as I stood up.

      "My dear,are you alright",asked Kate looking at me sounding so worried.

     "I'm alright aunt",I replied trying to smile,I knew she wasn't convinced but she didn't stress the matter any further as she gave me an assuring smile.

     "I know that my son hasn't been a gentleman to you ever since he found out you two were meant to get married and from what we saw on the tabloid ,many also will be thinking you two were forced to each other and that's the last thing ,I would love for the public to tag your relationship as ,especially how bad it will affect both your parent's business and ours,I'm sure you must know that your dad's business is in a wreck right now, people might start to call him names judging from how Adrian behaved with you at the restaurant that he's giving you out for a marriage to save himself,they will even call your family gold-diggers and bad people,you must have an idea of what I mean right ", said Kate as she smiled at me.

      At that point I knew she was letting on more than she knows, perhaps does she know about my past.

    No she wouldn't,I hope so

   "I know,I wouldn't want them to be called names because of me", I replied honestly especially not after they had all gone through because of me.

    I could remember how much dad had spent to ensure that I do not spend the rest of my life in prison,I could remember how much they all stood by me and protected me,I could remember it all.
     
     "I'm glad you understand, Cinthia I would be the happiest mother when you marry my son", said Kate as she smiled with tears glittering her eyes.

    I couldn't speak,I had nothing else to say as I thought of Richard and my love for him.

     "So Cinthia,we have to correct the public image of your relationship with Adrian and that's why your parents and I had decided that you two will go out on a date tonight, some press will be there to cover up the romantic dinner, it's for your own good", said Kate smiling.

     Did I just hear her say dinner tonight with Adrian,oh no what about how I had embarrassed myself in front of him and the kiss oh what should I do

     "If I'm hearing you correctly,you mean I'm to go out on a date tonight with Adrian",I asked to be sure if I had heard right.

     "Yes,so will you go out with him,to be honest you don't have to feel bad about it,my boy is a nice gentleman it's just that he's been through a lot in life at a very young age and this love he thinks he has for Claire is nothing but a phase and an illusion, he's blind to see the real her", said Kate as she looked at me.

     Does she know about Claire lying to Adrian that she loves him

    "I know Cinthia,from the very first day I had seen her,I knew she didn't love my son , she's here for his money because if she had truly loved him,she wouldn't have hid her true identify from him, she's from a dysfunctional family of seven and she's the breadwinner of her family, she's also been involved in a lot of things just to get money so she's greedy and that's definitely not a character I would love to see in my son's bride,so Cinthia you have this mother's permission to woo her son's heart,change his love for Claire because she's only deceiving him, please Cinthia please do it for me", said Kate as she held my hand leaving me completely baffled as I couldn't help but to blink an eye to check if all that just happened wasn't just a dream.
