As soon as the two enter the function hall, all eyes are on Dante, a shocking look pasted on most of the faces, shocked to see him with a girl."Why are they staring at us like that?" Barbara asked, she was getting uncomfortable with the spotlight, not like this was her first time attending a party like this but she was never the center of attraction."Hey my mentor, is here with a lovely woman." Kang greets him with a nice genuine smile and turns his gaze to Barbara, Dante knows that Kang will not stop pestering him, so he introduces Barbara as his girlfriend."Whoa! It's nice to meet the young woman who could have this naughty man all to herself." Kang and he are friends from way back just like Jayden, the three paired well back then."Kang!""Hey, let me tell her about this naughty man acting all calm like a humble lion." He stops Dante from interrupting him. "You shouldn't know he is a women hater and practically labeled as...""Kang!" Dante called him in frustration, he raised his
In as much as Scarlett will want to send this woman home, she is not going to be careless nor act like some desperate bitch.Barbara is so busy moving her head to the song, she doesn't realize that Scarlett's right foot is stepping on her gown, she acts so well that no one will suspect that she is up to no good.As soon as Barbara takes her step, she trips so badly, that she falls towards the angle of a waitress, the waitress wasn't expecting that, all the drink on the tray poured on her and the waitress.Barbara felt drenched, in all her years of attending a social gathering, she had never been so clumsy to trip badly like this, the first few minutes were tormenting for her, she was contemplating what to do and trying to observe if people were looking her direction.Scarlett smirked, she is happy, Barbara will have to go home, she have no idea, who Barbara is, but for her to stay with her man had made her hate Barbara, Dante is hers not for any bitch."Oh, miss! It's like you need hel
She looks extremely beautiful with the makeup attached to her face, she never thought that makeup done by herself and one done by an expert would turn out differently. With her hair now loosely tied up and strands falling on her sides, she is good to go.Gordon was getting tired of waiting outside, for Barbara to come out, so he walked into the suite.Barbara's admiration is something else, she is still lost in her daydreaming when she hears a manly voice behind her."Fabulous! You look so good... More like it's made for you." She turned and looked in the direction the man was talking from and gave him a faint smile.Gordon admired the beauty before him, his eyes didn't leave her gorgeous face, he wanted to compliment her with all the words in the world but then he had to keep his words in check, the young lady seemed to be not like those other women, he had met. But she definitely ticks his fancy."Let's join the party!""Sure, I must have lost a lot." He manages to say. "By the way,
"Are you sure you don't want your dress anymore?" Barbara asked, he turned his gaze to her and held her wrist. "Why do I get this feeling you always want to shoo me away?""Not at all." She fakes a smile, and Gordon smiles back at her."You should keep it, I am the one giving it to you, it's my way of apologizing for your damage. Do you think, I can have a dance with you? The music is lovely and it happened to be my best."Gordon looks nice and friendly, he is another vision of Dante who is insolent and naughty. Someone that one could be comfortable with."The thing is, I came with my boyfriend, I don't think he will like it, it might turn out to be a bad idea.""I bet you forget to add possessive... And the boyfriend, you talking about could probably be the one rushing towards us" he said casually, Barbara moved her eyes with Gordon's gaze, only to see Dante's gloomy face, producing anger and frustration.Dante gets to them and the first thing he can do is pull Barbara's hand from his
Barbara was feeling tired, probably because the alcohol was getting more active in her, she pressed the stereo to play music while resting lazily at the door with the window down, she sang loud with the music, not bothered if anyone could hear herCrazy in her wild imagination, Scarlett brushed her hair, she opened her eyes slightly thinking it was Dante."Whoa! Dante didn't say his girlfriend is a mad Woman with a nice voice?" Barbara closed her eyes back seeing it was the man Hunter. "You don't want to talk? Probably too drunk to talk.""I am not drunk, just go away, I don't want to come out.""Whoa! Did he ask you not to come out?""Yes!" She nodded like an idiot."Oh! What an obedient mouse!""I am not a mouse, don't call me that." She is brutal."Then come down." She shakes her head."He is going to get mad." She said mentally, her inner self yelled at her. "Since, when do you start getting scared of him?""I am not scared of him." She is talking to herself."Then get down! Get do
"Whoa! You are very persistent. I said shoo. Get lost." She murmured but Dante turned a deaf ear to her, she is really crazy when she is drunk, and her phone keeps ringing."Not now, you take the call." She ordered as she pushed the phone to Dante, he pressed the end button and his eyes caught the caller.That annoying Jeff was the one calling. "Have you finished talking?""No one is calling.""You telling lies, I know is Jeff, you are jealous of him." Dante stared at her in guilt, Barbara laughed uncontrollably."Stop that, the caller is not Jeff." He tried to hide his frustration of being caught red-handed by putting up a front face, She pushed him to the couch."Don't get jealous of him, I have never kissed him before, but you, I have kissed you a lot of times even more than that naughty Derrick who left me because I am an adopted daughter."Dante looks at her, she is not going to start telling him about herself because she is drunk."Don't look at me like that, it makes me want to

The next morning, Barbara woke up with a strong headache."Ahh! My head aches badly, Why do I have to drink that much?" She caresses her head, feeling too tired to get up even when she is pressed. She fell back to the bed to use the duvet to cover herself but her bladder would not let her rest. "You devil, can't you just keep quiet?"She walked reluctantly to the toilet, she sat to empty her bladder, she didn't take notice that water was running in the shower area that was separated by a glass door, anyone in the shower section could see the one in the toilet bowl.After emptying her bladder she gasped for air and yawned very loud with her hand stretched out, she was somehow relieved from the torture of her bladder but still with her unruly headache. "Shit! I hate drinking." She grabbed the wear on her body and took it off, causing her to stand only on her undies, wanting to push the door of the shower but then it opened on its own.Only to see a hunk coming out of the shower, she move

You know I can't stay a day without you." Barbara grimaces at him as he keeps complaining.She grabbed his hand out around her waist, then tiptoed and circled her hand on his neck then gave him a passionate kiss.Dante seems lost but he still moves with the pace, Barbara smiled, she loves this husband of hers, he doesn't argue too much, he only follows what she wants, he kissed her from the doorstep while carrying her to their room through the stairs, he was in hurry to move to the next level when his eyes caught the beautiful decorations and a card with the arrow sign was paste in the wall."What is this?" He asked, Barbara smiled and spoke."Follow the instructions." She said while she

Barbara couldn't help but smile as she watched their first wedding photos, she remembers their past as she scanned through the album.She recall their first encounter, how she had punched the man's face and then rented him to save her ass from her overbearing sister. Even when she had begged him publicly to love her and the last when she dragged him to marry herStill in her dream world when a strong hand pulled her into a hug from behind against his body.

It's a lovely atmosphere, come baby let's enjoy it." He took his baby in his hand and asked Barbara to come with them."Not now, you two go ahead, I am tired.""Why?"

For nine long months, they had been expecting the little pretty thing who looked so much like his lovely wife, it's a girl, Barbara called her Hazel, for some reason, she felt that Hazel was a good mother to her, if she wasn't hard on her, she wouldn't have turned out to be this independent woman, having her own family and a CEO of a big establishment."Love, we are going on vacation on the island.""Really?"
