Chapter 8🖋️

Xander fell on the floor and a little of his blood stained the tile.

He touch his wounded jaw and looked up to see who had attacked him.

His eyes widened when he saw Micheal, he stood up and scanned the man before him who was breathing heavily and then he scanned the house with his eyes.

"Why did you hit me?" his eyes were suddenly bloodshot.

"You are nothing but a coward" Michael rushed at him holding his shirt firmly.

Xander understood what was happening and he burst out laughing but stopped due to the pain in his jaw as he slwky rubbed his injured jaw.

"I can still get her back if you want" he beamed at Micheal, it was a smile which was making fun on Micheal.

Michael couldn't bear it pain, he pushed Xander to the floor and began punching him, his stotic facial expressions made it look as if a stone statue was attacking a human.

Xander used his strength and kicked Micheal to the side.

"Aria would never like you, you are nothing but a stone. You can't even express your own emotions"

"Why are even so obsessed with a girl you just met?"

Xander was confused on why Micheal was so involved in his crazy low class friend.

Micheal clinged his fists,"You know nothing about her"

"She is from the slums, what else is there to know?"Xander said this trying to curry out information from Micheal, but Micheal ignored his and walked out of the house.

"Surely, you will regret treating her as such" Michael's words were straightforward without any pleastries.

On his way out of the house, he bumped in to Derek and Geroge who were both talking and smiling.

On seeing Mucheal, they were confused about his appearance.

"Bro" Derek called as he tried to touch Micheal's shoulder but Micheal pushed his away while giving him death stares.

Derek shifted, Micheak had the worse temper despite his quietness, the guys thought that he was like that because he was unable to express himself.

They walked into the mansion and was shocked by the scene before them.

***

"Some day my prince will come"

"Some day we'll meet again"

"And away to his castle we'll go"

"To be happy forever I know"

"Some day when spring is here"

"We'll find our love anew"

"And the birds will sing"

"And wedding bells will ring"

"Some day when my dreams come true""

She heard someone clap and looked up to see a man who was putting in a mask she couldn't see his features clearly because of the darkness but the light from the moon showed that was must be really handsome.

He sat beside her in a elegant manner and Aria who had noticed the behaviors of the elite concluded that he was one of them.

"You must be a princess" the man spoke out as he started at the beautiful girl who was dressed in a pink flora dress.

Aria laughed gently, she took a deep breath and the familiar smell from the man made her at ease.

Her troubled mind became so calm, her eyes became heavy and she subconsciously drew closer to him.

The masked man stared at the girl confused.

The Girl drew closer to him, she brought her face closer to his, 'Does she want a kiss?' he wondered

"You smell so good" her words brought him out of his imaginations and he smiled charming.

He stared at girl before him, her green eyes reflected the light of the moon and as if like a flash, something flashed through hisbmind.

He made a metal note of it.

"You don't need a prince" the masked man said, his powerful voice made Aria feel protected.

"Why?" the breeze blew her hair from behind almost covering her face.

The man removed the strands of hair and cupped the girl's face in his huge palm, "I am an Emperor, I would give you the world"

Aria's cheeks turned red, she wanted to be beside this man, his smell. She loved the way he smelled.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath filling her stomach with his intoxicating but soothing smell. She opened her eyes slowly as she let out the burdens in her heart.

She stood up as if in a trance and turned to leave.

"You didn't even tell me your name" the man asked in surprised.

"You should be thankful you still have your hands after touching my face" Aria's eyes were so cold that the temperature around them dropped but the man before her gave off such calming warmth.

She sneered and started walking away from him.

Erick smiled as he watched the girl hop away.

She wanted a kingdom but he was giving her the world but still the little bunny...

He waited still she had gone far before removing his mask just then Andre rushed to him.

"Good job"

"Do I get a raise or a vacation?" Andre wagged his tail happily.

"Keep an eye on her" Andre who had been expecting some self care time was saddened when he heard his new assignment.

"Boss, this girl is like a baby chicken she is hard to follow up" he wanted to say but didn't have the courage to.

"Also get me a poster if Disney Snow White "

Andre's face displayed different expression in just a moment.

He wanted to question his boss but then he remembered what his boss had done to him so he decide to allow the boss to be punished.

"Okay boss." Andre turned his to his heels and left obediently.

Erick felt something was out of place with Andre but he bared no to much attention to it.

He got into his car and speeded off.

***

REECE MANSION

Kate was seated in the sitting room, she was crocheting a beautiful sweater.

It had a huge red heart in the middle.

She hummed a 90's tone as she focused solely on the job at hand.

Hank admired his wife and choose not to disturb her, he knew whom the sweater was for and how much his dear wife loved this person, he allowed her enjoy her moment.

Xander drove into his house, he opened the main door and removed his mask.

He was horrified to see both parents staring at him.

Chapter 7🖋️

Erick was busy with going through some documents when he felt Andre glancing at him at intervals as though he was contemplating to say something.

"Speak!" his voice sent a cold chill down Andre's spine.

Andre showed Eric his phone and Erick's expression changed instantly.

He started at the phone a little longer and he looked up at Andre,"You know what to do" he threw the phone out of the window and Andre's heart dropped.

***

Michael had just finished some designs had he sent them to the organization.

He stood up from his chair and did a little stretching, the turned on his data so see countless messages from TQ.

TQ which means the quad was group chat that which belonged to the four friends.

He didn't bother reading much till he saw a message from Xander.

'She is gone'

Michael was confused and he immediately tapped the notification button.

As he read the messages, he became angry, although he couldn't change his facial expressions his eyes spoke.

He typed, 'Meet up, Quad mile, 7pm' he sent it and immediately went offline.

***

DENVER ART UNIVERSITY

Aria got to her dorm, she opened her door and walked in. Everyone who had a family had gone home but she? She left

She dragged her bag into the room and started knocking her things.

She walked into the kitchen and checked the cupboard, she was able to find some packets of ramen, she turned on the stove and started cooking.

"No place like home" she took a deep breath and an awful smell hit her nose and frowned.

"Gross, something stinks in here" she looked around and when she passed the mirror she saw her reflection.

She had eyes bags and her hair was so messy that they looked like a sponge.

She then recalled that she hadn't shower.

"Gosh"

"I'm the stink bag" her voice was filled with pity, self pity, she grabbed her towel and ran to the bathroom avoiding the mirror.

"Even if I'm from the slums, I still need to look good. My future husband might have seem me today." she shook her head as turned on the shower tap as she prayed that he loses his memory if he had seen her somewhere today.

***

"Myla, your plan worked" Blair who was filing her nails couldn't help but compliment her friends on the activities of last night.

"Yeah, I knew Xander would never believe that low class winch over us" the confidence in her voice could convince others that Aria was the wrong one.

Julie who was busy with her phone, dropped it and adjusted her seat.

"But guys come to think of it, Xander likes her so much, so why didn't he believe her?" Julie's face was filled with uncertainty

Myla smiled in a mischievous manner, "Let's say he is a weakling who can't protect the girl he loves so he sent her away to save her" she burst out laughing and Julie faced Myla sharply.

"What did you do?"

The grin on Myla's face grew and even Blair became interested in the drama.

"Well.. " she stood up from her seat and walked closer to both girls who were already eager to know what had trabspired between Xander and Myla.

***

The sky was dark but with it lies diamond which sprinkled and danced despite the condition of the humans beneath them.

A luxurious sport car could be spotted driving from the rich main land through the city and into the woods. It kept in moving deep into the woods until it appeared on a cleared land.

There stood a big house like mansion.

The big gate opened and the sport car drove in towards the packing lot, there was a power bike and a car already parked at the packing lot.

The owner of the car stopped the car and opened the door, his long slender hands pushed the door open and his long legs stepped on the floor.

He came out of the car and the moon shone it's light on his blonde hair which had strands of deep blue, a new dye perhaps.

He closed the door and walked towards the mansion door. He placed his finger on the bell and the door immediately opened.

"Hey..." he couldn't finish his sentence when he felt a powerful force land on his face followed by a sharp pain.

***

Erick focused on his laptop, his fingers moved quickly, his eyes were piercing.

"Boss, Aria's background might not be so simple" Andre's gently voice broke the cold silence in the room.

Erick who was so focused didn't take his eyes away from the computer but his facial expression changed a little.

He stretched his hand towards Andre, he understood the assignment and passed the envelope he had to his boss.

"The scandal?"

"It has gone down, no media outlet would dare to disobey you"

"Her whereabouts?"

"She hasn't gone out of her dorm since she entered" After he was done reporting this Andre sat beside Erick although he maintained a distance.

"Why are you so interested in her?" Andre was confused.

His boss was the most successful bachelor in the country, ladies from high class families would die to have him near but he was going for someone who is crazy - like very crazy- and beautiful.

Maybe he was just interested in her beauty.

"Did you read the files in the envelope?" Erick who had gone back to his laptop asked.

"No"

Erick made a loud sound with the laptop and closed it and sighed.

He removed the computer from his laps and placed them on the side table.

He stood up and carried his suit which was near by, then he turned to Andre who had stood up the moment he did.

"She is unique" His eyes showed that he had so many things to say but his lips were disciplined.

Andre checked his phone and he looked at his boss, "The car is ready"

Erick nodded and gave Andre a car key, Andre stared at his boss with a confused expression.

"You are a good puppy"

Andre smiled at the compliment and his invincible tail wagged.

His joy was interrupted by a beep from his phone.

"She just went out of the university"

"Where to?"

"Veem Park, mid west" he reported.

"Get my motorbike ready!"

"But boss, madam" Andre's face was filled with disapporval and fear.

"If she finds out then it would be you that spilled the milk"

With that he walked into a room that looked like a closet.

While in the closet, Erick opended the envelope and his face was filled with displeasure as he started at a particular name.

"Melissa McCarthy" he called out in a soft but confused manner.

'So there's more?' he wondered as he read. He smiled.

It wasn't a smile of warmth but a confused smile used to relief the nerves.

Chapter 6🖋️

"You!" Aria looked up to see an agry Xander coming down from the staircase.

Aria rolled her eyes and folded her hands below her breast.

This night was already a handful, she was prepared to take in more.

"How dare you think of ruining my name in my social cirle" his chest was rising up and down quickly.

"Believe me, when I say I didn't even try" Aria gave him a cocky smile and this infurtiated Xander.

"Who do you think you are? You are just a low class girl I'm trying to help!" Aria's face dropped but she quickly burst into laughter.

She walked closer to him with murderous intent in her eyes, Mrs Kate jumped into the middle trying to ease the situation but Xander pushed her aside and grabbed Aria's shoulders roughly.

"You better behave yourself, you are nothing without me" he spat and Aria held one of his hand with both of her hand and twisted it behind him.

She drew his back closer to her body, making his ears become closer to her lips.

"You won't see me fall apart" she whispered into his ears and let him go.

She tossed her hair backwards and put on a warm smile but Mrs Kate saw her eyes dim.

Aria helped Mrs Kate stand up and thenA walked upstairs and shut her room door as soon as she got in.

She checked the time, it was past 3 in the morning. She fell on her bed and began sobbing.

His words hurts, they did.

***

Eric Clapton changed into his pajamas and opened his laptop to do some work when his phone beeped.

It was a message from a code number 101.

:We've done our research, inbox.

He pushed his laptop aside and brought out his tab as he tped some words and a document appeared.

His expression changed and he smiled, he clicked it open and the first name he saw made his heart feel at ease.

'Ariana Paul'

MORNING

REECE MANSION

"Hank, I'm scared that Aria would leave soon" Kate couldn't help but confine in her partner.

"Why?" Hank who wasn't at home when the drama happened asked as he buttered his bread.

Kate drank her cup of milk and started feeding her husband on everything that had happened the night before.

"Wow" Hank who had heard everything was confused.

"Xander is changing"

"The entertainment industry is affecting him, he doesn' care about no one but himself" Kate was about tearing up.

Hank knew his wife was so soft-hearted, he stood up from his chair and walked to her giving her a bear hug.

"Mom, I'm home" Kate turned to see her son.

She replaced her was face with a warm smile.

"How was the interview?" Hank asked.

Xander smiled and walked to his parents.

***

Aria who had been sleeping after the dramas woke up and the first thing she did was to grab her phone.

She unlocked it and the news she saw made her mad, she got out of the bed and walked downstairs to see Xander being lovey with his parents.

She walked to him and not minding her appearance, she gave Xander a tight slap.

Xander who had been papmpered all his life was shocked and confused when a 'low class' girl slapped him.

Kate and Hank were shocked by Aria's action.

"What it the meaning of this?" Aria asked as she showed Xander her phone but all be did was smirk as his eyes displayed his madness.

"Who do you think you are? Huh?" he walked closer and held her roughly.

"You embarrassed Myla and the media outlet found out, do you expect me to sacrifice my career for you?"

"Yes, I consider you a friend but I would give my all to my career."

"And I wasn't wrong, you are from the slums and you sell your body to men..." Aria gave him another slap, this time her slender fingers left their imprint on his face.

She grabbed his collar and drew him closer to her face, "I hate you"

She let him go and walked up to her room as she began arranging her bag. She sobbed loudly.

Kate watched what was happening and she ran up to Aria's room to see her packing.

She ran into thw room and sat on the fllor beside Aria holding her legs.

"Please,don't go, I...I promise to raise my son better" Aria turned to see the woman who was always elegant and graceful looking so messed up in tears on the floor.

Aria felt pity but she had her self respect still intact, she finished packing her bags despite the begging from Mrs Kate,she removed her hand and walked away.

Kate immedately got up and ran after Aria.

Aria had locked her bags and carried them downstairs, she had only spent few days here but they're the best and worst.

Hank who was scolding his son saw Aria coming downstairs with her luggage and Kate crying behind her.

"Please stop her, Hank, please" her soft voice was broken, all the maids quickly hid themselves as they didn't want to be part of the family drama.

Xander stared at Aria, he immediately looked away from her and walked up to his room.

Hank walked up to Aria, "Please, Aria don't go, you are like a daughter to us" his voice was so soft that it hurt Aria.

Aria looked up at the man who had guven her the love of a father, the love she never got to experience as a child.

She smiled warmly, "Thank you for changing my life for a while"

With that she walked out of the door, Kate pulled off her who shoes and tried running after Aria, he let her be.

Aria got into the cab she had ordered and as she got in she turned to see Mrs Kate holding the bars of the gate.

Kate with the most pitiful and sad eyes.

Aria looked away as tears dropped from her own eyes as she drove off.

"I should have neve agreed to come here"

He watched his mother crying bitterly, his heart felt heavy but it was for the best.

"I have to be strong" he told himself as he gazed at the disappearing cab.

He turned his eyes and they landed on a picture of her while she was asleep.

His lips spread wide but soon they started shaking as he fell on his knees.

Tears ran from his eyes, he felt like a failure, "It's for the best."
She left 😢

Chapter 5🖋️

The weather was cold, she shivered as she hugged herself.

"Why did I even volunteer to go with him?"

"Huh!" she scattered her hair in frustration, she looked at her feet and sighed.

"No one forced me, I wanted an experience" she covered her face with her palm and raised up her face within a split second.

"Aria, don't let them get to you. Since you have this freedoms enjoy it. Positive mindset, positive mindset" she arranged her hair and smiled brightly.

She unziped her purse and brought out her phone, she brought out her airpods and placed them in her ears, she unlocked her phone and entered her playlist.

"What mood am I in?" she touched her face with her index finger as she went into thinking mood.

"Pacify her" she said excitedly.

Soon the song started and she walked him while taking occasional breaks to dance.

She hung the purse around her waist then pulled off the heels and held it with her left hand, she raised her right hand in the air waving it in a seductive manner, she swayed her hips from one side to another as she took four steps forward and a step backward.

Sometimes it was slow other times faster.

***

"Boss, I'm lost" Andre said over the phone

"Don't be a baby and meet us at the Crace Junction, use your GPS"

"But..." he head the phone beep.

He smiled in pain and looked around confused by, he opened his map buy just then his phone switched off.

He cursed himself under his breath and walked through the ally.

He spotted something far off moving in a systematic but weird manner.

He walked closer to see a girl who was dress like an elite dancing without shoes.

"It's better to stay off - she might be mad" he turned to leave when he remembered that he doesn't even know his way around and his phone is dead.

He took a deep breath and walked up to the lady, he knew there was no use calling out to her, he touched her shoulder gently.

Aria was lost in the lyrics when she felt something warm touch her skin, she held the hand firmly and threw it over her shoulders making whosoever it was to lamd on the floor.

She jumped on the person on the floor and flung her hair in a dramatic manner as she placed her hands on the neck.

"Don't kill me!" Andre pleaded as he closed his eyes firmly.

Aria examined the guy before her and concluded that he was a sissy, from his weak body to his feminine face.

He looked like a princess - more than her -he looked like someone who needed protection.

She stood up from his body, and arranged her dress and her hair, she then bent down to pick her shoes.

"Why did you touch me?" She asked as she glared at the man who stood up gracefully.

'He is really a princess' Aria thought.

"I... I just needed directions on how to get to Crace Junction" Andre started as be dusted his body and crossed his hand below his abdomen.

Aria yawned tiredly, she removed her airpods from her ears and placed them in her bag, "Follow me" she turned her heels and started walking away.

Andre followed behind her as he skipped.

"I'm Andre, Andre Agassi" he stated.

Aria rolled her eyes and turned to him sharply as she pointed her index finger at him, Ander jumped backwards.

Aria bowed her head in shame, she shook her head and looked up in pity, "A weakling doesn't deserve to know my name" she started walking off again.

Andre turned red, he brushed his hand through his hair and stared at the girl beside him.

Every detail of her was magnificent, her pale skin was the most obvious of all her features.

"If you continue to dig into my soul you would fall into a trap called love" Aria didn't turn to him but he was shocked that she had notice his stare, he looked away shyly.

"Aria"

Andre smiled, "It's beautiful" Andre complimented her name.

"I know, it's as beautiful as it's owner" Aria couldn't hid her naccaratic behaviour as she smirked.

"We are here" Aria said she was about leaving when she spotted a man who was standing beside a flashy car staring at Andre in an unexplainable manner.

Andre saw him master and was about rushing to him when Aria grabbed him by the neck.

"Why are you starting at a man like that?" she yelled as she walked closer to the man who stood beside the car.

The man was confused, he adjusted himself and it was as if he grew a feet or two taller.

Aria saw the growth in the man before her and a huge lump appeared in her thoart.

'Fight or die' appeared before her eyes, she smile crazily as fear over took her.

Fight till death.

She let go of Andre and stood to face the huge man, she raised her head up to see his confused face.

"Are you gay?" she asked

"Are you drunk?" he asked back as he stared at her lips in a seductive manner, she took a deep breath.

He smelled so...

Aria noticed him staring at her lips and the closness between them and shifted backwards, "Crazy stranger"

"Belle" the gaze of the man was soft and gentle, it was as if he had found a treasure.

"He is my boss" Andre whispered in Aria's ears.

Aria's eyes widened upon receiving the information, she shifted backwards and smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry about the mix up" she smiled at the huge man before her.

She turned to Andre and glared at him, she gave him a death stare and walked away like a boss.

"I like her" the huge man said to Andre.

"Boss, that girl is off your limits" Andre said before he could think, he felt the intense glare from his boss.

He looked away quickly but refused to take his words back.

The huge man stared at the disappearing figure of the girl with a smile plastered on his face.

***

"Finally" Aria breath out a sigh of relief as she saw the gate of the Reece mansion.

When the security men saw her, they opened the gate and allowed her.

"Good evening, Miss Aria" Aria smiled at them politely and ran off towards the door of the mansion.

She was surprised to see a lady with red eyes, it seemed as though she had been crying.

Immediately she saw Aria she rushed to her and gave her a bear hug.

"I though Xander had offended you and you didn'want us anymore" Kate stated.

Aria wasn't use to physical touch so she patted Mrs Kate.

"The party was boring so I went out for a stroll" her voice was so soothing making Mrs Kate so calm.

"You!"
This place is about to blow

Chapter 4🖋️

Naturally in movies when the girl rolls off the stairs the boy rushes to save her but the guy in front of her? Huh!

She raised her head and glared at Xander.

"Oh dear child, are you okay?" Kate knelt beside the girl in a panic.

Aria sat down and stared at her legs, "I'm good" she smiled and gave Mrs. Kate a thumbs up and this made the woman breathe a sign of relief.

Aria got up on her feet and straightened the dress, this was her first dress and the silk material made her value it more.

"I'm ready, let's go" her voice sounded influential and it affected Xander in a way that he couldn't rant but had to follow her out.

***

MANTER MANSION

"53, 54, 55..." Xander glared at the girl before him.

"Why are you embarrassing your beautiful face?" He made a sharp turn and Aria fell on him.

Xander shook his head in pity, "You are so uncultured"

Despite the fave that he wanted her to lean on him, he couldn't help but bad mouth her.

Aria quoted palms 23 in her heart as she tried to keep herself calm from attacking the charming man beside her.

He finally stopped the car after she had recited it twice.

He opened the door and stepped out, he turned to the other side and opened the door for Aria as he let out his hand for her.

Aria's heart skipped a beat but she immediately controlled herself and gave him her hand which he squeezed lightly.

Aria glared at him but he drew her closer and she decided to humiliate him by covering her nose.

"Gosh!"

Xander who wasn't paying attention to her turned to see her closing her nose and her face had an unpleasant expression he felt silly.

After taking endless pictures Xander was already exhausted due to smiling and changing poses but Aria was still filled with energy.

"Why are you acting, cranky?" She glared at Xander, he placed his hands on her almost tiny waist, grabbed her closer to his body, and placed his lips close to her ears.

She wanted to scream but recalled that the annoying camera was still flashing, she smiled brightly and stepped on his toe with her heels.

"You!" he whimpered as he let her go, she placed her thumb fingers into her ears and stuck her tongue out.

The camera flashed harder at this scene.

Xander knew he was losing the spotlight so he dragged her into the venue.

"What was that for?!" anger was the only thing reported in that sentence.

"Your friends are here"

Xander turned to see three young men of his age waking up to him up. One was dressed casually which didn't match the theme of the meeting, the middle being the celebrant was dressed in royal regalia, and the last one had a beautifully dressed girl beside him, she was clinging to him like a leech.

"Master Xander" the one in the middle called out cheerfully as he dropped his empty glass on the waiter's tray which happened to be nearby.

"Prince George" Xander bowed and the guy smiled crazily.

The one on causal had his eyes on the bored-looking lady behind Xander.

"Julie, take Xander's girl to the girls"

"Yes, Drake" The girl who was clinging let go and approached Aria but Xander jumped into the middle.

"What do you need her for?"

"Xander, be cool. We guys need to talk so allow the girls to gossip" George placed his arm around Xander's shoulder.

"But Aria doesn't gossip - she rants"

"Xander be good, I can handle it" her confidence made Drake scoff but the quiet man kept staring at her with no change in his expression.

'Her confidence is attractive' he thought.

Xander gave her a warning glare and she smiled innocently.

She took a glance at the stoic face guy and followed the girl.

His heart skipped, he knew that smile and how it ends.

'My reputation is ruined' he thought as he started praying internally struggling to let go from Drake's embrace but George held his arm fighting his grip in a free manner.

***

Aria walked into the room and everyone's eyes turn to her, she gave a warming smile as she sluggishly blinked her eyes.

Her head turned gracefully from side to side and the mild wind played its part by dancing through her hair.

The room was filled with spoiled heiress and a few second-generation heirs.

The males loved what they were seeing and some felt the need to protect the girl in front of them.

The girls glared at the beauty before them, her face was makeup free giving everyone a sense of fresh air, her shoulder-length hair which was balanced in its place would dance occasionally to the beat of the wind, and the slit on both sides of the dress exposed her pale spotless legs.

She looked as beautiful as a true heiress from ancient times.

"Good evening" her voice was soft and peaceful, she sat close to the girl that had dragged her away from Xander.

"So, you are Xander's girlfriend" A red-haired girl in a red barbie dress said as she scanned through the seated Aria who maintained a fixed stare on the girl before her.

"Xander has a girlfriend? I pity her" Aria replied succinctly before touching the pearl on her neck in a sluggish but seductive manner.

This little act made her look tired and tempting and the opposite gender wanted to hide her in their pockets.

"She is a world-class slut" The girl who had brought her there told a girl beside her who nodded like a dummy and glared at Aria.

Aria gave her an eye smile then closed her eyes to sleep

***

"Is she the girl you always talk about?" George asked as he popped the wine and poured it into each glass.

"Hmm" Xander nodded and stretched out to collect the glass, he raised it and placed it close to his lips when he screamed in pain and dropped the glass on the table while rubbing his hand gently.

"You never drink without a cheers" Drake said as he grinned from side to side.

"Michael, you've been quiet since, what's up?" As George mentioned, the duo who were being lovey turned to Michael.

"Stressed" he mouthed and rested his head to close his eyes.

In the quad, Michael has always been the quiet one, he suffered from Moebius syndrome, a condition whereby one can't change their facial expression due to the underdevelopment of some bones.

"Why did you pick her? Out of all the girls in the world?" Drake who was confused asked after gulping down his wine.

"She is unique" Xander imagined her disgusted face when she first met him and a warm smile appeared on his charming face.

"Someone is in love" Drake turned red and he covered his face in a silly manner making the trio laugh.

"Have you told her yet?" Michael who everyone thought wasn't interested finally asked as he adjusted his seat.

"No" his answer was straightforward.

"Why?" Micheal stared deep into Xander as he adjusted himself, Drake noticed the intense stare from him.

Drake removed his hand from the table and placed it under the table till it found Michael's thighs, he rubbed it gently.

Michael understood but ignored it.

"She isn't as elegant as most girls, I can't bare the shame" Xander looked down and slowly he raised his gaze and let out a sigh of relief.

"So you are ashamed of her?" Michael's voice grew weak as if in surprise.

George stared at Drake and even he understood.

"Who wouldn't be?" Xander asked and adjusted his body properly before letting out a little laugh.

Michael was disgusted and he closed his eyes and went back to his sleeping position.

"Priceless" His deep voice filled the air and Xander scoffed as he finally understood.

"She would never go for a guy like you" he mocked.

Michael didn't object as he dozed off.

***

Aria opened her eyes in a drowsy manner and sat properly.

"Sleeping beauty is awake" The red-haired said as she smiled.

Aria smiled back provocatively.

"Here" the girl passed her glass, Aria stretched her hand to collect it but the girl let go a second earlier and the glass dropped on Aria soling her dress.

Aria stood in shock as the coldness of the drink touched her skin.

"Oops, so sorry" the girl smirked and the other girl burst out laughing.

The coldness of the drink made goosebumps appear on Aria's skin, she shivered and hugged herself while rubbing her bare arms.

"What do you think of yourself?" Her eyes scanned through Aria in a disgusted manner.

"Myla, let her be. Be nice" Julie said as she got up from her seat and walked closer to Aria.

"Where is Xander, I need to see him" Aria demanded as she clenched her fists in anger.

"What do you take me for? Your slave?" Julie's eyes widened and she stepped closer to Aria and dragged her hair.

Aria wanted to attack her when Julie whispered into her ears," Don't embarrass Xander, news would have it that he brought a low-class slt to a high-CLA-class event Aria immediately canceled the thought and pushed the girl lightly.

She wanted to scream Xander's name, she looked around and her eyes fell, she knew that Xander would never believe her over this 'high class' crowd.

She grabbed her purse and walked out of the party despite the mocking calls from behind her.
