“I’m sorry” I hurriedly said praying she won’t take offense from the little accident and create a scene or make me stay long enough to be noticed by Niles
“O..o-okay” She stuttered and I took off but a grip on my arm stopped me from going further . Agitated , I turned to face her
“How can I help you?” I asked trying not to show the irritation in my voice
“I know everyone on the guest list but you’re no…” She tried explaining but I was quick to cut her off cause I seriously had no time for this
“I know but I have to Lea…..”
“Emily” Eden called and she turned to face him while I moaned inwardly.
God why ! Why are you doing this to me! .
“Eden?” She smiled and leaped towards him engulfing him in a hug almost knocking him to the ground in the process.
“You came” she breathed against his neck chuckling softly. I stared at the duo envying their closeness, something I wish I had.
A great manipulative b*tch Kim was, but in time I realised something. Kim wasn’t the problem but I was the problem, no one wanted me , not even my precious mother I bonded with at birth.
I was so engulfed in my reverie that I was scared out of my pant when I heard my name being called
“I see you have met Maria . Maria?” Eden called startling me.
As if the situation wasn’t awkward enough, I lost the ability to speak “Urm…yeah….”
Come on Maria ,stop babbling like a fool.I scolded myself and took a deep breath. I guess I’ll just be myself
“Hi” I said stretching out my hands for a handshake “I’m Maria” I introduced hoping I’ll survive this night without ruining another life.
“Emily” she muttered accepting my hand. We shaked hands, lingering for a while until she stared at my hands and gasped
“Nice manicure, where did you get that?”
“Get that?” I scoffed ” I do that myself, piece of cake” I answered lifting my hands for display while she admired it.
“Would you make mine, too?” She asked while I raked my brain searching for a suitable answer that wouldn’t piss her knowing I want nothing to do with the Sparks Family .
The plan to get the hell outta here was still on and active, so getting involved with her simply means getting involved with Niles which isn’t a good thing at the moment.
“I don’t know….I….”
“Pleaseeeee” Emily pleaded with quivering lips and fluttered her eyelashes putting on the best puppy look ever.
“Fine” I blurted out without even realizing it. what spell did she just cast on me?
As if that wasn’t enough, next I knew,I was crushed to a body before realizing Emily was hugging me. A really bone crushing hug
“Thank you” Emily rejoiced tightening the hug without sparing my lungs
“Can’t breath….at..all…bone’s crushing” I gasped trying to intake as much oxygen I could without fainting
“Oops sorry” Emily released me with a smile on her face.”I’m just so happy, it’s being so long I had a girlfriend “
“You don’t have girlfriends?” I asked shocked. Well, welcome to the party cause I can’t exactly say I have one too.
“let’s just say being rich doesn’t work well in the friends department” She said and I noticed the pain in her voice and knew she’ve being hurt badly by so called friends
“Well you’re in luck cause I’m in the market for a friend” I muttered nonchalantly trying not to show I really wanted her as a friend. Huge thanks to her kindness, not many rich kids could be as kind as her.
“Well” Eden announced sandwiching himself in between us with a drink held securely in his hand
” You ladies have your fun while I go have mine” He said, kissed the back of my hand and disappeared through the crowd before Emily could protest
“What’s wrong?” I asked concerned over the worried lines forming on her face.It was obvious whatever Eden said had a negative effect on her
“Trust me when I say whatever Eden’s up to, it isn’t good especially with Niles around here” She explained straining her neck higher to get a sight of Eden amidst the crowd
“Niles?” I asked surprised “what’s going on between Niles and Eden?”
Great, curious me! I totally forgot mission ‘leave the Sparks’s alone ‘
“Long story but you’ve got to help me find them before we have a war in our hands” She said taking my hand and dragging me through the crowd.
“I can’t even imagine what my papa was thinking bringing the both of them together” Emily murmured as we pushed and shoved through the crowd
“How are we going to find your brother in the midst of this large number of peo….”
“They’re relations and friends moreover Niles mentioned earlier about finding my dad so Eden must have headed there too so…..”
“Oh no” I gasped earning a “what?” From Emily.I tilted my head sideway directing her to a spectacular scene murmuring “I think World War Three is about to begin”
Niles and Eden stood facing eachother,Niles a deadly glare on his face with his fist folded prepared to attack while Eden stood with an arrogant and satisfied smirk on his face.
“This is bad, we have to do something” Emily cried out while I stared shell shocked, getting in between them was equivalent to getting in between two angry lions .
But my brain wasn’t thinking cause next I knew I found myself in between them introducing myself to Niles’s father .
“Maria sir” I said extending my hand for a handshake which he gladly accepted
“I’m Adam Sparks and don’t be too polite cause I’m a casual being” He said flashing me a smile that was too friendly or too fake to be friendly
“Alright Mr Adam” I agreed flashing back a smile trying not to show how nervous I am or the fact my palm was sweating.
“So Maria ,have we met before?” Adam asked but before I could open my mouth and explain I was nobody, but here on behalf of his son , an answer made itself known or rather two answers
“She’s my dat….”
“Isabelle’s Nanny” Niles interjected
“What?” Everyone said, my self included.
What just happened? I’m whose nanny? Was that the job he said wasn’t illegal? A nanny?
“A nanny for Izzy? you gotta be kidding me?” Eden spat not believing his ears.
It was obvious he didn’t expect such a heavy blow from him.I just turned from his date to Izzy’s nanny ? he definitely wasn’t going to stand for that
” Yes Eden” Niles answered with a smirk “I’m taking my daughter Isabelle back with me so she needs a nanny as agreed by my father”
Oh, now I remembered.I totally forgot Niles was a single dad.
And judging from the look on Adam’s face, I could tell he has no idea what his son’s talking about so, it was obvious Niles set him up to make it seem like he betrayed Eden by turning his date into his granddaughter’s nanny.
Such a good plan, Niles was definitely revenging on Eden.
“Oh please” Eden scoffed ” We all know Izzy’s a rude brat so why don’t Maria come nanny for Annabelle instead ? “
“You mean your spoiled brat who’ve fired over a dozen nannies? What makes you think she won’t fire Maria on sight?” Niles attacked while I stared speechless.
So not only does Niles has a daughter but Eden has one too? Isabelle and Annabelle? just what in the world was going on here?
