Chapter 3

Bree's Pov

Blonde Braided updo hairstyle, simple but elegant makeup matching with nude blush shade lipstick, a pair of pear-shaped diamond teardrop earrings matching with a princess necklace having 5 pear-shaped diamond pendants and an old rose open shoulder maxi long gown dress showing my body curves and firm cleavage with a long slit exposing my right thigh.

"So this is what I look like huh!" I state while looking at myself in a full body mirror.

"Give me an elegant turn darling," Robert said, my makeup artist for tonight.

I did what he requested and made a pose.

"Stunning!" Drawing a check on the air which made me chuckle.

Tonight is the night where Louie and I will be officially engaged in front of many people but also the night where I'll be exposing those two thick-faced traitors.

A knock on the door drawing our attention. It was Louie picking me up. He wore a black tuxedo matching with his ash brown clean cut hair. Looking at his reaction, I can see the amazement through his eyes.

"Let's go?" I said making him back through his senses.

"Oh! sure,"

I grabbed his arms for assistance. I'm afraid I might have tripped on the stairs as I was wearing light brown stiletto sandals.

We have now arrived at the venue, and many rich and well-known people are going in. As Louie pops-out the car, lots of paparazzi gathered taking photos of him while opening the car for me. The camera flashes almost blinded me. Fortunately, Louie escorted me out of the car until we reached inside the venue.

Louie's family were already here as well as my Aunt Rowena and Uncle Hernan together with their viper snake daughter Maxine. She was wearing a seductive plain red long v-neck open back dress almost exposing her breast matching with her black silky straight hair. She was looking at my fiance seductively. While Louie looks back at her full of desires in his eyes. Making me feel so uncomfortable.

"Babe, I'll just get some wine, my throat is kinda dry," I excused.

"Go on babe, I'll just entertain the guests,"

I nodded and went to the table where the drinks were being displayed. I just sat there and watched everybody chattering and laughing. Boredom started creeping inside me, when Maxine suddenly caught my attention. She was going to the staff room so I secretly followed her.

There, I quietly peaked on the half open door. She was talking with a man and giving him a black flashdrive. I hurriedly hide myself as she walks out the room. That flashdrive probably contains my scandal and they're gonna present it to everybody.

I bite my nails in despair.

"I should stop them, no matter what,"

Unexpectedly, the man left the room without locking the door so I hurriedly went inside and searched for that flashdrive. As I found it I hurriedly put it inside my purse and exchanged it with mine containing my beautiful surprise.

After executing my successful mission I hurriedly went back to the party.

"Where have you been, babe? I almost went crazy looking for you," Louie asked worriedly.

"Oh! I just went to the restroom," I lied.

"Let's go and meet my relatives,"

"Yeah! Sure," I agreed and came along with him.

He went to a group of people and introduced me to his relatives.

"You're such a lucky man!" one of his cousins said.

"Yeah, look at her, she's so beautiful and kind," his Uncle Angelo complimented.

"And Smart!" Louie added, like showing me off to everyone. They all laugh, including me.

Everyone turns their gazes at my back which leads to a commotion at the entrance.

"And there he is, our perfect Uncle Calix," Wynona, one of Louie's cousins boasts.

"Almost perfect if he is not a disabled person," Another Louie's uncle stated. Made them laugh. I was kinda pissed about that joke. I turn around to see who's this unlucky man who has this kind of family.

All the paparazzis surrounded him.

"Is he that famous?" I ask myself.

"What can you expect about the owner of Madrigal Industries, the largest company of all companies?" Louie stated, he sounds adoring him upon saying those words.

"Well,"

I keep looking at the entrance, paparazzi are now being pushed out by the black suited men. The path was already clear, letting me see the arrival of this famous Billionaire.

My eyes widened in surprise, my hands were shivering and sweating like cold ice and my chest suddenly felt tight. My heart was beating so fast after seeing the familiar man who I'd expected that I'll never see again. The man I hate the most, the man who stole my purity and the man who I have a one-night stand with.

My throat suddenly went dry as our gazes met while his male assistant pushed his wheelchair towards us.

"There you are, my favorite nephew," the man said.

My knees felt weak, just hearing his voice. Everything was so fresh inside my mind. All I want now is to leave the party and lock myself in my room.

"Uncle!" Louie greeted him with a smile and a fist bomb. "I thought you would never come?" he added.

"It's Louie Madrigal's engagement party, the most dear nephew to me! So why wouldn't I?" They both laughed. "So who's this lucky girl that catches the attention of my beloved nephew?"

I was spacing out as Louie suddenly pulled me beside him.

"Uncle, meet my precious and beloved fiancee…Bree Amorce De Guzman!" "Babe, meet my most outrageous and successful uncle… Uncle Calixto Rafaelo Madrigal," he said as he introduced us to each other.

The man rise his right brows and rubbing his lower lip with his right index finger. His gaze makes me feel uncomfortable as if he was totally seeing me naked in front of him.

"Nice meeting you Ms. Amorce," Uncle Calix proclaimed as he handed out his hand for a shake.

"Me too Sir!" I responded. An electricity suddenly spread throughout my body as we shook our hands, so I hurriedly pulled my hands off. "Babe, I'll just excuse myself… There are too many guests here… I can't breathe properly, I need some air." I exclaimed as my chest tightened even more. Before Louie could respond I took my leave.

I rashly went to the garden and sat on the bench. I took a deep breath making myself calm down.

"How come he's Louie's uncle?" I blurted out. " Of all people, why him?"

I fell silent for a moment as I realized that the man I was with that night has a healthy, strong and full of energy physical body. But Louie's uncle was disabled.

"Maybe, I'm mistook him for someone else,"

"What do you mean by that, Sweetie?" A familiar husky voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere making me turn around, it was Uncle Calix.

"You! Almost startled me… U-uncle," I stammered.

He suddenly chuckles.

"Why are you startled? Is there any reason for you to be startled?" There's a hint from his tone that he was pointing for something.

"N-no!" "I guess, I'm done getting some fresh air Uncle! I'll go first," I bid my goodbye. I was on my way through the door when he suddenly spoke.

"So are you having fun? Playing innocent in front of my nephew?"

"Pardon?" I step back. And return to my spot.

"You know what I meant, Mi Amor,"

" I don't know what you're up to Sir! But to be clear, I never acted innocent in front of my fiance!" I raised my voice at him. I feel insulted.

"Don't Sir me! Stop pretending like you don't know me! Don't you act like you forget everything we had last time!" He was now angry too.

"You know?! I don't know what youre talking about…I'm going now and please don't bother me anymore," I finally made my way towards the door when a sudden hand grabbed my left wrist and pinned me against the wall.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Before I could respond, his cold soft lips touched mine.
