Tears were threatening to fall out of Lucy’s eyes.“I couldn’t handle anything as you wanted to. Sorry, forgive me.”“It’s all my fault anyway.”“The desserts have arrived!” a voice bursts in drawing their attention.Everyone’s attention turns to the voice.They look out to see Robin appearing from the other direction. He was accompanied by men four other men. Lucy’s eyes widened in shock.Grandpa’s eyes also widened in shock.“What is he doing here?”.Robin came over to the guests and started serving desserts skillfully onto the guest's plates one by one.The men with him, they were serving as well.Gray’s face goes pale and his jaw drops.While serving he was playing tricks as well.“Sorry to keep you waiting.”“No, it’s alright.”Lucy and Olivia were watching him in disbelief.Picado was also astonished.One by one, they managed to serve most of the guests in no time.It was in the middle of serving Robin spots Lucy and stops on the track. His eyes fell on Hughes who was onto Luc
When they almost finished serving, Chris goes up to where Robin stood after serving.“Mission accomplished, is it?” he comments drawing Robin’s attention.He smiled and turns to Chris.“None of this would’ve been possible if you didn’t had that hairpin your pocket.”Chris chuckled.“Maybe even the whole world was by your wife’s side. So it was inevitable.”“What was going to happen, is going to happen no matter what.”“You are right.”“But,” he puts down the plates and wipes his hands, placing them in his pockets.Staring back at the crowd he comments, “Recalling how things escalated, it still gives me chills.”Chris also stared at the guests.“I have the same thoughts.”Some minutes ago.The men who stood outside the room of Olivia’s office were staying on guard.Meanwhile, one butler came running towards them.They became alarmed and stepped forward in defense.“Who are you? And why are you here?” one yelled at him.The butler looked at them with an worried face.“I’m a staff here.”
Noir watched from the sidelines, eating the dessert which Robin had served on her plate a minute ago.Henry comes from behind and taps on her shoulder.“Who?”.Only to see none other than Henry.She sighs in relief.“You, thank god.” “Are you busy or something?”.“Do I look like?”.Henry examined her twice and comments, “I don’t think so.”“Then what’s the point of asking?”.“For a second I thought there was going to be a huge mess but it kind of stopped somehow.”“Do you know how this happened?”.Henry nodded.“You’ll be surprised to hear about it.”“Why? Is it serious?”.“Kind of.”Lucy looks around, searching for Robin who was nowhere to be seen.When she did manage to find her husband, he was wiping away the sweat off his face, while staring down at his hands.“There he is!” she walked up to him, about to call him only for the music to start playing.The musicians started playing their performance on stage.Robin looked in the direction of the stage and then turns to his hands,
The music was playing quite well, and everyone was just watching the performance.Robin and Lucy talked for a while standing together. Noir watched from the sidelines.“I was the one who was supposed to be standing there with him, not you Lucy.”Grandpa and other family members were also eating out and enjoying.After some minutes pass, a car arrives at the gate. Christina stepped out of the car opening the gate.She wore an deep red high knee cut dress with straps, with heels.She looked up at the building and smiled.Then started walking inside.In a while she reached the party hall where all of this was happening.The sound of music came into her ears from a distance playing a smile on her lips.She looks around, searching for someone.She spotted Robin among the crowd as they stood a bit away from the stage.Seeing Lucy the smile on her face completely disappeared away.“I can’t seem to like you, no matter what.”“Why is it so, Lucy?”.“Are we fated to be enemies forever?”.She
The light comes back, and Lucy spots her husband with Christina.When she was about to speak up, someone comments among the crowd.“Aren’t they the one on the pictures?”.Everyone’s attention shifts to them hearing the voice.“Yes, they are,” replied the other.“This is the husband of Lucy Campbell.”“But who’s this woman on the picture?”.“I have seen her face somewhere.”“But why are standing among the crowd like that?”.Robin removed Christina off from his body.It was a total chaos where everyone was whispering among themselves regarding them.Ms. Olive stepped forward and turns to Christina.“I know who she is!” she yelled, raising her voice.“She’s the winner for this years national art competition held some days ago, Christina Hobert.”“What?”.“Why’s she seen with Lucy Campbell’s husband? Are they having an affair?”.“This has to be. That’s why they are seen like that in the picture.”Olivia was quite enjoying this.Robin’s face became horrified.“I’m having an affair with her
Robin stepped forward and goes up to Grandpa’s side. He kept his head lowered.“I can explain-“.Grandpa raised his hand, stopping him from talking.“No need to talk any longer.”“You have already destroyed our reputation in front of so many people out here.”“Don’t even try to cover up your mistake.”“I don’t want to listen to you at all!”.“Please shut up.”Robin kept his head lowered, biting onto his lips.“Grandpa, please listen,” Lucy tried to interrupt.But Grandpa gave a glare to her.“You still have anything to say in his defense?”.Lucy lowered her head, peeking at her husband.“I don’t think this is the right place to discuss this-“ Picado interrupted but Grandpa stopped him from talking also.“I’m talking here.”Suddenly, a rush of people approached them from a distance and no one understood where they came from.It was the press. They all arrived with mics and cameras. They surrounded Lucy and Christina and Robin.Everyone became puzzled.Gray and Olivia exchanged glances
Gray came over to Robin’s side with an smirk on his face.“Even though, the proof is right in front of us, you still dare to lie? I mean how?”.“We can clearly see the affair between you and that girl.”“Why still deny it?”.“Cause that’s not the truth!” Robin retorted back.“These pictures are real, but the situation behind has a reason. It’s not like we are having an affair, I only saved her.”“That’s the truth which only you are saying. Give us a proof! What might you call it if it’s not cheating?”.“Everyone! What would you call it?”.“There is an conspiracy set against us, Lucy!” Robin turned to his wife. But grandpa stood right next to him.“Believe me! I’m not having an affair with Christina! Someone took those pictures at the right moment to frame me.”“I only saved her from falling. But there’s no one who can give any proof for me, so you might not be able to believe it.”“Even so!”.“You can have faith in me!”.“I will never do something like that with you!”.“Blind faith ca
“Won’t you Christina?” Noir comments.Christina lifted her face, meeting the eyes of others.“I….”.“Please tell us the truth.”Christina cleared her throat.“Alright then. If you want the truth, I’m going to give you the truth.”“The truth is actually very simple.” She started walking towards Robin, then stood right next to him.She leaned onto his shoulders and replied, “We had been hiding our relationship from the public eye for a long time. But the time has come when we finally reveal in front of others.”“We both love each other, but is unable to become one because he’s married.”“That’s why our relationship is kept hidden from the eyes of others.”“Simple as that.”Robin looked at her in surprise. He pushed her away from him.“What the heck are you spouting?”.“This is not what you were supposed to say! Why are you speaking up lies?”.“This is not a lie, but the truth,” added Christina with an smile.“Why are you telling out lies?” Noir yelled. “What lie?” Christina grunted. “
