Chapter 10 - Engagement Party Part 1

Tomorrow is their party and now, she's having her second session on hair laser removal from her dermatologist and other experts to do the job. Zach have his own business appointment and she care no less about him. But still, she hates it when he got lots of women around him. She won't act recklessly though.

After her session, she put her clothes on and relax a little. She only wore a thong so she wouldn't get rashes and since her doctor said so.

"Sis!" She rolled her eyes by just hearing Kathleen's voice. She hated the person. She's such an actress. She got a very bad reputation for years because Kathleen turn her into a slut. Set her up and make her look bad in front of everyone.

That incident was years ago but she don't give a shit anymore. She will die any time soon. What's there to worry about?

She acted like a little angel since they were kids. Devil in disguise of an angel's face. That's why for three years when she come into an age she never go home. Kathleen set her up that she stole her boyfriend and that her boyfriend cheated on Kathleen because of her. She even acted like she hurt Kathleen when Kathleen is acting like an antagonist. She hurt herself in front of everyone and blame her. Everyone hated her and see her as a black sheep of the family.

"You are here!" Kathleen greet her with cheerful face that she hates so much.

"I'm leaving." Kathleen grabbed her arm and clung to her.

"Wait, we should have pedicure and manicure. Tomorrow is the big day after all." She wanted to roll her eyes.

"Fuck off, Kathleen." She said it calm but Kathleen was taken aback. "Or do you want me to break your arm?" Kathleen was stunned and finally let her go. She walk off like a runway Queen and went to the parking lot. She suddenly smell a gas and hear something dripping. She duck down and saw that her new car was tampered. "Fuck that bitch." She utter. She knows that Kathleen was the one who did it. That's why she smell a little gas a while ago.

She contact her butler and she went to her fiancé's office nearby by just walking. She get in and punch the elevator number to 28th floor. She even sign the security guard to open the door for her using the card. She was asked on the reception area on whom she's visiting.

"I wanted to see, Zach Pattinson right now." She told.

"I'm so sorry, Ma'am but do you have an appointment with the President?"

"No." she said shaking her head. She doesn't have his number after all. "Try calling him on his telephone." She demanded impatiently. The receptionist did call on the other line.

"May I know your name, Ma'am?" She pull out her license card and show it to her. Of course, they are surprised, and she was immediately escorted to the President's office. She call her brother while walking to the President's office.

"James, your fucking cousin did something on my car. Make someone review the CCTV recording on the parking lot of the clinic."

"Hey, baby sis. Do you really have to say bad words whenever you asked for my favor?"

"Just do it." She hang up and the door was open for her. She enter immediately went on the sofa and throw her purse there with her pone. Ignoring her fiancé who is already standing to meet her.

"Do you want something to drink?"

"Vodka if you have." He told her secretary to bring a can of soda and full of ice. Then he stand in front of her and she's massaging her head.

"So, what bring you here?" He sat down beside her and massage her head. She moans and lean her head on the sofa.

"Someone wanted to kill me." She utter.

"Isn't that what you wanted?" She chuckled and open her eyes a little.

"But I don't want that bitch to kill me." She blurted. He stop and frown.

"What happened?" She didn't say a thing and was about to sleep but he kiss her face a lot loudly. He keep kissing her face loudly. He's being like that just for her to tell him what happened. "Come on, tell me."

"Stop that." She pushes him and the door opens as the secretary serve the soda with Bavarian. "Oh, Bavarian!" she picked it though the white sprinkles of the Bavarian are falling on the carpet and her dress. She take a big bite.

"Thank you." He told her secretary and she left. He watch her eat messily on the Bavarian, her favorite than donut. He licked his lips and reach her chin and lick clean all the excess white sprinkles around her lips. "Hmm, taste good." He reach her legs and enter his hand under her dress.

"Careful!" she swat his hands away. "I just got laser."

"Oh, can I see it?" Her brow creased and then her phone started ringing. She reached her phone from the her purse and she answer it casually.

"What happened?" She check her clean long nails that needed manicure. "Make sure that my car is great."

She throw her phone away and eat a last bite of Bavarian. She was about to finish cleaning her fingers but he took it and suck each of her fingers. Suck her thumb very much affectionate. She lean on the sofa and watch him clean her fingers. Why does he do that?

"You know that I won't fuck with you—"

"I know." He kisses her lips. "Enjoy your Bavarian." He took one piece and went to his table and start eating. She took another piece and finish it, couldn't stop thinking about the engagement tomorrow. She glance at him, her eyes broken. She then look away quickly finishing the Bavarian. She took the glass, half of ice and full of soda. She sipped on the soda and suddenly butterflies flapping on her stomach.

"Zach." It's the first time that she call him on his nick-name. She shivers.

"Hmm?"

"If you wanted to back-out. Please just back out now." He didn't say a thing and just hear his incoming footsteps closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind. She didn't shiver anymore but she still feel insecure. She don't know if she could still make it through the engagement. Not even to their wedding.

"I'm sorry." She's afraid of hearing it from him. She will just burst out. "I won't back out now. Never again. I'm sorry for failing you back then but I—I can't go back on that time anymore. I was a coward. I can't even handle little things on my own. I can't even protect you, but now I will."

"Don't ever start on making a pledge."

"Can we start all over again?"

"No. I don't think we can." She gently pushes him away and went to the sofa and finish the soda.

"We are going to be husband and wife soon." He look a little frustrated because she keep rejecting him and there's call on his telephone. He stare at her for a moment and exhales.

"I'm going to leave." She pulls tissue and wipe her mouth then pick her purse and phone.

"Just a moment." He murmur on the telephone and he block her. He extend his hand to her. "Phone." She gave it to him, and he enter her password, just like old times. She never change her password and then search his number on her phone. She block his number there. So, he unblock it and call his own phone. He wipe her lips with his thumb and lightly brushes his to hers. "Call me if you got emergencies."

"I can take care of myself." She pull her phone from him and then stepped out from his office.

She walk around the Global City and went to spa. She'll have her half day on the spa for Manicure, Pedicure and whole-body massage. Since she's a VIP guest that Zach had arranged for her, she own the whole VIP room. She choose to have her manicure and pedicure first and then next is an hour of whole-body massage and Chinese acupuncture. Just when the therapist is starting, she heard footsteps coming. It must be men's footsteps as the therapist greet the man and told him to take a shower first or change clothes. She can smell his perfume. Zach. She thought that he wouldn't accompany her.
