The day of Clitton grandpa's birthday cake, of course it was going to be a grand day with lots of influential people paying homage. Lydia was invited to the party,she didn't want to attend but grandpa loves her dearly and it will hurt him if she doesn't so she will be going but  as a new person entirely, she won't be the poor wretched looking Lydia everybody knew. She  decided she is not going to hide her identity anymore; she planned on looking big and shocking her haters.

The party was to start by 12 noon, By the time she looked at the clock, it was 11 already. 

"Oops, I have to get ready or I'll be late, " Lydia said, rushing to the bathroom for a quick shower.

After she was done, she cleaned her body, applied her lotion, and started getting dressed up.

She dressed up in a beautiful long stylish red gown that revealed her beautiful shape. She styled her long black hair like that of a princess, her heels were black and had shiny ornaments on it, she wore a light beautiful makeup ,wore her earrings and necklace,then she sprayed her sweet smelling expensive perfume.

Ohh my gosh!

 She was looking expensively gorgeous already. Then she picked up her beautiful black bag.

And yes, she was good to go, she looked at herself and smiled lavishly. 

Lydia left her room as she stepped down stairs, her mom sighted her and complimented,

" ohh my darling, you look so beautiful,"Mrs. Zander said with a warm smile.

"Thanks mom"Lydia hugged her mum. 

" I have to be on my way now mom or I'll be late" 

"Ok my dear, Take care of yourself, Byee."Her mum waved at her.

As she was about entering her car,the guards stopped her

"No ma'am, we're gonna take you there, I'll drive" said one of the guard

She smiled,

"ohh no ,y'all shouldn't bother, I'll do that myself" 

"No ma'am,we were instructed by Mr Zander to go with you."

When she heard that,she had no other option than to allow it, So two guards followed her.

After about 45 mins of the drive,they were in front of the Benjamin's Mansion.

Kelly immediately noticed the Big jeep that just stopped in front of the Compound and was eager to know who was in it. So she went so close to the window,so she could have a better view.

One of Lydia's bodyguards came down from the car and went straight to open the back door for Lydia, Lydia came down wearing a smile on her face.

"Oh my God!"Kelly blurted out.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Is this Lydia or was her eyes seeing another person?

"No, this can't be true, probably she must have gone to borrow clothes and rent that car."

 Many thoughts kept coming into Kelly's mind.She was still in shock with her mouth half opened when one of the female servants touched her.

"Ma, Mr Clitton asks to see you" The servant said.

"Okay, I'll be with him shortly, you can go."

The servant bowed and left.

Kelly left to answer Clitton. Immediately she got into the room and told Clitton what she just saw.

"Clitton, Lydia is here" she said almost immediately.

"So?" Clinton asked,u bothered.

"Well,She came in a different person this time if you must know."

Clitton looked at her in a confusing manner

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Lydia came in here with an Expensive car and two bodyguards,and she is looking so Gorgeous." Kelly explained.

Clitton laughed so hard that he dropped his phone.

"Could that be some jokes or what"

Kelly looked at Clitton almost getting annoyed with his behavior, she hissed ,"Then come see for yourself "she said and left the room angrily.

"Could this be true?" Clitton muttered to himself.

"Well,I won't believe it till I get to see her myself."

Clitton quickly dressed up and walked like a gentleman to the hall.

Everywhere was almost filled up and the party had begun,music and dances here and there. There was laughter and gists ,everyone was merryingly.

The door opened revealing a lady in red, She walked in majestically with two bodyguards screaming wealth. The bodyguards were dressed in black suits and they both wore black eyeglass to match.The lady was so beautiful that everything paused as soon as she entered;Music,dancing,chit-chat , everyone stopped what they were doing to behold this gorgeous lady. Men were drooling,Women were jealous,what a beautiful sight to behold.

"Oops!,I'm sorry that I'm late" Lydia apologized to no one in particular. All eyes were on me which made me uneasy but whatever I got this.

She took a drink from the waiter. "Thank you"I said to the waiter ,She sighted Clinton looking uncomfortable, Lydia smiled and walked up to him.

"No, this is not true," Clinton said in disbelief. Lydia was looking so beautiful.

"Could this be the Lydia I know,My ex-wife ?,no this is not true."

"Hey, Mr Clitton , it's nice to meet you again."She  smiled , twirling my hair with her fingers.

Clitton was so speechless that he couldn't utter a word,he stared at me like I was a ghost.

"Mr Clitton,can you hear me?" She waved her hands in front of his eyes to bring him back.

"Hi," He managed to say with confusion written all over his face. Then he burst into laughter immediately, She was lost.

What's funny?,why is he laughing?

"So who have you gone to borrow clothes and a car from this time?" He asked, and She joined him in laughter.

"Well,I am not that shameless to borrow a cloth or car just to come for a birthday party."

As they were talking, Lydia noticed Kelly looking at us with jealousy and disdain. 

"This bitch is here again to take my man" Kelly thought "But I won't let it happen, Never!" She walked up to them.

"So you're here again as a different person to have my man right?Aren't you shameless?" Kelly attacked her as soon as she came.

Lydia gave her a stern look 

"Hey, miss Kelly or what are you called ,mind the way you speak or I'll…"

"Or you will what?"Kelly said, interrupting her.

"Speaking of man,you mean this?" Lydia rolled her eyes at Clinton.

"At Least he is mine"Kelly defended and she smiled.

"Sure,the leftovers are given to the less privileged,so I understand. You can have him,he is my leftover " Lydia said and left.

Kelly gave Clitton an annoying look and walked away too.

Clitton was so dumbfounded. They had planned to embarrass Lydia .But with the way things are going,their plans won't work out.

He summoned courage and walked into the party and sat on his VIP chair.

After some dancing and merriments,it was time for grandpa to cut his cake. So he came up to cut his cake,just as he was about to cut his cake,he called for me saying Lydia should cut the cake with him. She dropped the glass of champagne she was drinking and  came up to where grandpa was.

Grandpa, Mr.Benjamin,and his wife were all confused when they saw her, it's written all over their faces. Lydia was enjoying the moment.

"Is this Lydia?" Mr.Benjamin whispered to his wife's ears.

Grandpa smiled so happily ,he hugged Lydia which she wasn't expecting "I have missed you my daughter." He said.

" Let's go ahead with the cutting of the cake,"someone from the audience shouted.

"Yes,the cake"Grandpa let go of her and placed her right hand on his, Lydia held his hand, and together they both cut the cake happily.

"Happy birthday grandpa"

"Thank you my dear daughter"

There were shouts of joy and happiness plus merriments everywhere, but the household of The Benjamin's except grandpa were all still in shock.

    Mrs. Zander held up a shimmering navy-blue gown, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “Doesn’t this look good?”Lydia exhaled, crossing her arms. “Mum, you bought almost the same thing yesterday. Why are you…”“Women never get tired of shopping,” Mrs. Zander cut in with a giggle.“Well, I do.”Mrs. Zander ignored her, placing the dress into Lydia’s hands. “Try this one. It will look good on your skin.” Lydia groaned but took the dress, dragging herself to the fitting room. Five minutes later, she stepped out, struggling to walk. Mrs. Zander clasped her hands together. “Oh, you look breathtaking, darling!”Lydia shifted uncomfortably. “Mum, I can barely breathe. This is too tight.”“We’ll take it,” Mrs. Zander told the sales assistant without hesitation.“Yes, ma’am.”“Yes ma’am”“That bag, and that one too.” “Can I change now?” Lydia sighed.“No dear, we will go back home like this.” Mrs Zander smiled, checking her daughter out.“Ugh” Lydia groaned.As they exited the boutique, a dee

    At Le Château Royale, the clinking of silverware was the only sound between them. Lydia and Rowan ate in silence.Rowan finally broke it, dabbing his lips with a napkin. "So... you're a Zander?" His voice held amusement.Lydia met his gaze. "Yes."A slow whistle left his lips. "Damn. The woman I pulled out of a pool turns out to be the President’s daughter."She shrugged. "Life happens."His brow arched. "But why the secrecy? No one knows what the President’s daughter looks like."Lydia’s expression darkened. "You must have heard about the tragedy ten years ago, right? My father had four children. One was poisoned, another died in an accident, and the youngest was kidnapped. Her body washed up on the beach."Rowan exhaled sharply. "That's... horrific."Lydia nodded "All within a year."His fingers tightened around his glass. "How did you survive?"Lydia’s gaze flickered. "I was stabbed. But someone saved me in time. After that, my identity was erased. For my own safety."Rowan studied

    Clinton’s phone beeped, and a message flashed on his screen.“I want to see you. Now!” It was from his grandfather.“Shit!” Clinton cursed, he threw his phone in annoyance. He exhaled sharply, adjusting his tie before slipping on his blazer.“Where are you going?” Kelly asked as he stepped out of the house.“To see Grandpa.” “I’m coming with you,” she said, jumping to her feet.Clinton halted, giving her a pointed look. “I’m not waiting for you to take hours putting on makeup.”“I won't trust me.” She dashed upstairs, reappearing in minutes, dressed in a knee-length gown, her hair tied into a neat bun, and only a dab of lipstick on her lips.Clinton checked his watch and scowled. “You took twenty minutes.” “I didn't even do makeup!”“Whatever, let's go.”It was a thirty-minute drive from Kelly reassuring Clinton that everything would be okay, but Clinton barely heard her.

    Two days later, Lydia sat in the back seat of a sleek black car, her fingers toying with the silver ring on her middle finger. The date with Mikhail was happening, despite her father’s disapproving frown when she was leaving the house.When she arrived, Mikhail was already waiting, lounging back in his chair at the rooftop restaurant. A lazy smirk played on his lips as he gestured for her to sit."Finally," he said . "I was beginning to think you'd stood me up."Lydia rolled her eyes but took her seat. Mikhail poured her a drink. "Let’s skip the pretense. What do you really want?" she asked.His smirk widened. "To keep Clinton’s secrets. If you marry me, that is."Lydia’s stomach twisted. "And how do you know he’s behind all this and the kidnapping, attempted murder?” Mikhail raised his hands in mock surrender. "I don’t have to be sure," he said, laughing. "I just need to drop the files at the police station. They’ll find out on their own."His laughter was light, playful but there
