Chapter 27

"Yvette, the party is about to start. What are you doing here in the kitchen?" Rhea asked as her eyes roamed around the area.
Rhea was looking for her daughter and husband. They are both missing in the party hall. She already knew that his husband had a strong desire for his daughter. When her eyes darted on the broken goblets and on the broken bottle of champagne, her eyebrows furrowed.
"What happened here? Did someone hurt you?" Rhea asked worriedly. She immediately approached Yvette to check if she was okay. She couldn't stop herself from doing that. She loathes her daughter and her husband but there's still a part of her that cares for them.
"I'm fine, mom. There was just a cat that broke the glasses and a bottle of champagne. I'll get going," said Yvette in a cold tone. She left the room without even looking at her mother. She's hurt and she has no time to pretend that she's not.
Rhea smiled as she looked at the floor. "I don't believe her. Something happened here," she said while rolling her eyes. When she remembered that there was CCTV in the area, she immediately called security to check the footage. After that she returned to the party hall to face the guests.
Rhea stopped walking when she remembered something. "That photo, I think it was familiar. Where did I see that boy?" she whispered to herself. She continued walking and because she was thinking about something, she didn't notice that she was going to run into someone. "Ouch!" she shouted as she suddenly sat on the floor.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Are you okay, miss?" said the man.
Rhea's eyes widened. That voice. That voice was very familiar. She slowly raised her face to see who the man she bumped into was.
"Y-you? W-what are you doing here?" Rhea stammered.
The man frowned. "Do you know me?" he asked.
Rhea nodded softly. She can't be wrong. The man in front of her was the older brother of her dead husband Ramil... Ramon.
"I'm sorry but I cannot recall your name. How did you meet me? Have we met before?" Ramon asked.
"Ramon Oligario, right?" Rhea asked, without blinking.
"Yes, I am Ramon and you are?" the man answered.
"I'm Rhea O–." Rhea was stunned. It turns out that she won't recognize her because she has changed her face. "Rhea Marcus," she continued while extending her hand.
"Rhea. Your name is too common. You and my sister-in-law have the same name." Ramon laughed as he reached for Rhea's hand. He also supported her to stand up. "I'm sorry if I ruined your elegant dress."
"No! It's not your fault. You don't need to be sorry. It's my fault. I wasn't looking at what I was walking," Rhea said immediately. Ramon reminded her of her late husband. They have almost the same facial features. Once they were even mistaken for twins even though Ramil is younger than Ramon.
"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Rhea Marcus. May I leave you? I have some urgent matters to attend to." Ramon turned his back on Rhea and started walking away.
"Wait a minute!" Rhea shouted.
Ramon stopped walking and faced Rhea.
Rhea raised an eyebrow. "Hi-are you going to attend the party? I mean, you are one of our guests." She looked away.
"Even if I want to stay here to talk to billionaires and millionaires, I can't. I have something more important to attend to," Ramon replied.
Disappointment was evident on Rhea's face. "Is that so?"
Ramon nodded. He was about to turn away when he suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Before I go, how do you know my name?" he asked.
Rhea quickly thought of an excuse. "You're the President of the RMO Airlines, how can I not know you?" She forced a smile.
"Okay. I thought I had seen and been with you before," Ramon said with a smile. "But I don't remember how and when so see you around?"
Rhea nodded. "See you around." She breathed a sigh of relief when Ramon left. "Until now, it's still a puzzle to me how he became rich. Did he win the lottery? In fairness, he became even more handsome. If only Ramil had been alive, Freya and Ramon would have been happier." She sighed and continued walking. Unbeknownst to Rhea, her husband Ythan was secretly watching her. 
"So, Rhea already knows the truth? She knew that I cheated on her and she knew that her daughter is still alive?" Ythan looked in the other direction. "Ramon Oligario, President of RMO Airlines. Ramil has a brother? Hmmm, I need to get rid of him then," he said before he followed his wife.
