The dazzling lights twinkled on the perfectly trimmed trees. The tables were decorated with food that looked more like decoration pieces. The guests walked in through the mansion gates, they were greeted by the servants. Everyone was dressed in dresses that were one of a kind. Everything was perfect.
On the second floor of the mansion, inside Micah’s room, a maid stood silently by the dresser while holding onto many ties that Micah was trying out, one after another.
“Is Renya ready?” Micah asked.
“I sent her the dress you chose for her an hour ago, she should be ready by now,” She replied with respect.
“Go check on her, I will do this on my own,” He spoke in an oddly calm manner. The maid bowed and walked out of the room. She walked up the stairs to Eryna’s room and knocked on the door a few times but there was no response from inside. So she opened up the door to find the room empty.
“Miss? Are you in there?” The maid stood before the washroom door and called out but there was no response. She opened up the door and found it empty.
“Is she downstairs?” The maid mumbled and walked downstairs to look for Eryna, she looked around for quite a long time and wasn’t able to find her, in the meanwhile Micha walked down the stairs fixing his cuffs,
“Is she ready?” Micah questioned her.
“Master, I have looked for Miss. Renya everywhere but I couldn’t find her,” she replied with a worried tone.
Micah frowned and walked out of the main door into the garden where everything was beautifully arranged. He looked around but didn’t find her. The guests were walking in and at the sight of Micah, many swarmed around him like bees.
“Congratulations on your successful collaboration, Master Micah,” a girl with a seductive voice stood beside Micah and spoke.
“Hm…” he nodded while his gaze jumped around the crowd to look for Eryna, but rather he found the butler walking in the guests.
“Uncle Shaun!” He called Doug and walked towards him.
“Yes, Master? Is there something that doesn’t suit your taste?” He asked worriedly.
“No it’s not like that, I was looking for Renya, I can’t find her anywhere,” Micah spoke in a low voice.
“Miss. Renya went out half an hour ago, she said she had to deal with a few things,” The butler replied.
“Went out? Why didn’t you tell me that?” Micah frowned a bit.
“Miss. Renya said you would ask too many questions if she told you,” the butler truthfully replied.
“God! This woman…” he rubbed his temple and muttered. “When will she be back?” He asked.
“She said she would be back in an hour,” The butler replied.
While they were having the conversation the woman from before walked in closer to Micah and held his arm, she rested her body against his arm and spoke with a sweet voice,
“Come on, let’s have a drink...I am very thirsty,”
The butler saw her bad intentions but he was no one to speak so he stepped away. Micah pulled away from his arm but she grabbed onto it once more.
“Get off me...I don’t want to male a scene out here,” Micah breathes in deeply and speaks.
“Then let’s go somewhere else, where nobody is watching,” her speech had a hidden message, Micah felt a sudden wave of disgust, and he was about to push her away when another slender hand pulled her and threw her on the perfectly trimmed grass.
“Stay away from Him, or I will break your bones,” A girl with a familiar voice spoke. Everyone around gasped when they saw two attractive girls fighting over Micah.
“Who are you bitch!! And why should I listen to you?” The girl on the grass spoke with a shrill voice, and her face formed into an ugly expression.
“Norah! What are you doing,” Helena walked up to her, with her eyes filled with horror as she saw the people around looking at Norah with a hateful gaze?
“Hah! You think I will let a hoe like you steal someone’s husband?” She shouted out while Helena pulled her back.
“Stop it, everyone is watching,” she whispered.
“No mother, not today. Let me be myself today,” she muttered angrily, and then she turned around and looked at Micah.
“You were the one who was lecturing me at first and now, looks at yourself. Cheating on your wife,” she spat out the hateful words. “You make me feel sick,” just like how Micah had ridiculed her in his office. After saying what she had to say, Norah left her parent’s side and walked away angrily.
Taylor’s face looked flushed because his family had made a show at Micah’s party after just arriving.
“I am sorry for Norah, she just gets angry quickly.” He muttered, but Micah had an expression that didn’t show any sort of anger.
Norah walked with a serious face, many had misunderstood Nirah solely because she was Helena’s daughter, at times she was easily manipulated by Helena but deep down she had always felt that her stepsisters were treated badly. Even though she wished for many things before but the day Micah spoke those hurtful words about her, she was broken. And slowly she realized that her mother was showing her a path that had great chances of success but that was at the cost of someone else’s life. In Helena’s case, it was Serene’s life and in her case, it would be Renya,
Norah walked away from the crowd, she was looking down at her shoes as she walked and then she bumped her head into someone’s chest that made her twist her ankle and she fell.
“Sorry! Sorry, sorry!!” Hunter apologized and held out his hand to help her. Norah was frowning but she still took his help and stood up.
“Watch where you are going,” she muttered.
“It was you who was looking down,” Hunter huffed.
“So you did see me and purposely bumped into me!” Norah’s realized, “are you a pervert or something?”
“Miss, you are misunderstanding,”
‘What’s up with the girls nowadays? Why do they keep fighting with me? First, it was only Eryna and now we have this lady and Renya making my life harder.’
“I was standing here waiting for my partner and I saw you walking straight into me, I didn’t have time to dodge,” Hunter replied calmly. Norah looked at him for a few seconds and then finally parted her lips.
“Okay, I forgive you,” Norah breathed out and decided to walk away but then she saw Renya running in her wearing a blush pink gown, it was an off-shoulder gown and her hair was formed into a bun exposing her milky white slender shoulders.
“You are finally here! See my hair has already gone white,” Hunter muttered sarcastically.
“Huff...huff,” She panted and stopped beside him, her eyes shifting towards Norah.
“You know her?” She asked Hunter.
“Who? You mean her?” Hunter pointed.
“Who else?”
“Nay! She just bumped into me,” Hunter replied.
“You look beautiful, Renya.” Norah ignored Hunter and spoke to her openly unlike her usual self.
“You think? Haha! You praised me?” She was utterly speechless at Norah’s praise.
“Where were you? I have searched the whole mansion and you are here taking a moon bath,” Micah walked in on them, She froze at the sight of Micah approaching,
