Happily Ever After

Chapter 13

Days had passed and I was feeling better,i just took a warm shower and get dressed to have breakfast downstairs.

Not to forget today was Sergio's mascurade birthday party but I had a little surprise.
So I head downstairs everyone's at the dining table including Sergio's girlfriend.She smiles and wraps her hands around his arm and smirk,I wrap my fists but I mentally count from 1-10 to avoid punching her face.

Good morning everyone,and happy birthday Sergio...i smile looking at him.

Thanks Si,I hope you'll come for my party?...He asks smiling.

Uhmm,sorry Serg I can't come but I wish you all the best...I smiled.

Si,c'mon you'll have to come you always wanted to attend a masquerade party...Elena says giving me puppy eyes.

Please,just come it's my birthday.You can't miss it...Sergio pouts.

I'll think about it...I assure them and they nod.
Later,in the evening a makeup artist came and I'm guessing for Elena and Amanda.
I read the girls bed time stories and tuck them in bed and head downstairs.

Si,aren't you coming?Elena asks pouting.

I told you guys I can't come,just go ahead and have fun you can give me the details tomorrow...I lied.

What are you going to be doing at home...Damian asks keeping a stern face.

I'll watch some TV and rest...I lied again.

Ugh...Why are we wasting time with her it's perfectly clear she doesn't want to come...Amanda says smirk.

Yhh,just go and have fun don't worry about me and Sergio once again happy birthday...I glanced at him and he nodded. I couldn't doubt he was looking so handsome in that suit with his mask.

They nodded sadly well except for Amanda who was grinning and left for the party.
I took a shower did my makeup,wore my outfit and side braided my hair and left out some strands and held my mask...this was my surprise for him.

I went out and told Charles,the chauffeur to take me to the party.
Minutes later we arrived the party ground and of course the press would be there since it's a billionaire's party and I was thankful that it was a masquerade party cuz I didn't want mom and dad coming to New York.I took a deep breath,wore my mask and came down.Good thing back in Italy I was used to the flashes of the cameras from the press.They kept taking my pictures and I smiled,they asked me questions but I ignored them.

I went into the ball room and I must say Elena really deserved the credits,she made it look stunning with the help of the planners.

The guests were all conversating with each other and when I entered all eyes turned on me and I was blushing because of all the attention.I moved to meet Elena,Sergio and Damian smiling and I tapped Elena to get their attention and they glanced at me with a welcome smile.I decided to break the silence.

Hello,how's the night going for y'all?I asked grining.

It's great,but please may we know who you are?...Elena asked curiously.

I'm afraid I have to keep that a secret for now...I smirked.

They nodded and I made to move when Sergio asked me for a dance.

May I have this dance?He asked giving me his hands.

Sure Mr Alessandro,I smirked placing my hands on his.

Sergio's pov
Not having Sienna here wasn't my plan.I felt really sad that she decided not to attend my party and honestly I didn't feel like going anymore but I just had to.
Sometimes I ask myself why I asked this blondie out.

Back at the party,this lady seems too attractive,i don't know what made me ask her to have a dance with me but luckily she accepted.

You have a nice party,I must say I'm impressed with the arrangements...she whispers and I felt weird.

Yhh,uhm...thanks...It's all thanks to my sister...I stutter.

I should stop stuttering,I don't even know her but the smell of her cologne is familiar.

Do you always take in women's scent?She asks chuckling.

Uhmm.No you smell familiar, my apologies for my behavior...I whisper.

It's okay I have a special someone who does the same thing...she replies chucking.

I don't even know her and yet I feel jealous,my insides were burning up and I held her closer.

Woah!hold it there tiger, you're squeezing the life out of me...she whispered chuckling.

And then the music ended and she pecked my lips and whispered happy birthday senorito and left.
I tried following but I couldn't find her,I got back to the party but my mind went back to her.Who was this mystery lady?

Will Sergio ever find out who the lady was?
