But now why was I jealous? Why was I so adamant on converting this one? But the question is, does Niles truly belongs to me?
I saw Niles pull away from her and instantly kept quite a distance as he replied her,
” Nice to meet you too Miss Tina “
Suddenly my br***t swelled with happiness, though his words were respectful and formal yet it was clearly drawing a boundary bet**en the both of them.
Niles grabbed my hand and intertwined his fi**gers with mine and I felt a blush stain my cheek. Jeez I hate this, why was I so easy to please?
“My dearest Tina ” Adam welcomed her and she placed a peck on both of his cheeks.
“Hope you have been doing well, Adam? ” She asked with this warm smile on her face causing my brow to raise.
Wasn’t Tina an ice queen? what’s with her entire demeanor this evening? I couldn’t help but feel disturbed all of a sudden , where was these feeling coming from?
Adam replied ” Am fine dearest “
Then I saw Tina bit down on her bottom l*p like someone who was too nervous to say what was on her mind – not to talk of her exp**ssion – what is she planning?
“I’m sorry for the rumours that was spread a few days, though it wasn’t my wish nor my doing but I’m sure it affected the company stocks and your son’s reputation and for that I’m deeply sorry ” She apologized bowing her head
I heard Niles snort derisively by my side and my brows couldn’t help but knitted together, I felt like something was being kept from me and the feeling was getting stronger by each passing seconds.
Adam chuckled heartily ” You don’t need to apologize dearest, besides the rumours weren’t far from the truth… “
I couldn’t wait to hear whatever else he said cause my throat constricted and my stomach did a bad fl*p while my body trembled but Niles sq***zed my hand assuredly.
That gesture helped but still did not clear the unease in my heart. Yes, I wasn’t as smart as Izzy but I was definitely not stupid either. Moreover I had my sixth sense with me and I have somehow figured out the reason for the tension bet**en father and son.
Adam must have figured out Niles’s intentions towards me – no wonder he made that remark earlier, I just thought it was strange and totally unlike him – and from the look of things, it was obvious he wasn’t in support of Niles’s plans nor me.
Then my eyes fl**kered towards Tina, I couldn’t make out what they were saying because of the thoughts running wild in my head , but it wasn’t too hard to figure out the rest of the puzzle afterwards; Tina was the chosen one.
Adam did not approve of me, it was not that easy to hide. A mirthless smile tugged at the corners of my mouth , I couldn’t blame the man anyway .
Who in the world would want their million dollars worth son to marry an illegitimate daughter? A girl with no power, money? Marry a girl removed from the family’s registry ? That was just a Cinderella dream!
But strange enough, even though it was nothing but a Cinderella dream, I still had faith, hoped for my own fairy godmother.
I felt Niles’s arm tighten on my waist and I looked up. Despite the fact that no words were spoken but from the look in his eyes, It was obvious he knew I had figured out everything.
But the moment he opened his mouth, about to say something, we were interrupted.
“Niles ” Someone called out and he looked up with an irritated frown on his face.
But his exp**ssion softened the moment he saw the person in question and quickly plastered the usual fake smile on his face .
“Governor Ahmed ” he said and th**st out his hand and they shook hands.
My head spiralled when I saw governor Ahmed, not on television but in person – live and direct- one of the youngest and handsomest governor in history! Niles was not kidding when he said a lot of political leaders would attend this event.
“I’ll be going to the washroom ” I said quickly to Niles and hurried away before governor Ahmed would take notice of me and begin to ask questions.
Ahh!, I screamed and palmed my face when I entered the washroom and began to fan myself with my hands.
Why was I behaving like a fangirl? Maybe I was indeed a fangirl, I had crushed on Governor Ahmed the numerous times I watched him on television – Niles doesn’t have to know that by the way.
Yeah it’s just a crush, nothing else. But still seeing him in person ; why was I blushing so hard?
Suddenly the door to the washroom opened and I whipped around to see the one and only Tina strutting into the room like she owned the place .
Maria’s POV
My eyes moved towards the direction of the door and rested on the figure strutting into the washroom and I rolled my eyes, here we go.
I turned on the faucet and began to wash my hands slowly, hoping and praying to God that she’ll be done soon and leave me the hell alone this time.
Tina stood in front of the sink and began to check her appearance through the large rectangle wall mirror . She brought out a l*pstick from her clutch purse and began to reapply it on her already red l*ps.
I sighed inwardly and tore a piece of tissue from the toilet paper dispenser and dried my hands before tossing it into the open bin.
I guess I can’t hide away in the restroom anymore, it was time to return to the party – fat thanks to Tina for destroying my alone time with my thoughts.
I grumbled inwardly, just when I decide to take a mental break. With nothing else to do, I
turned to leave and just as expected, Tina began ” Your dress looks nice “
With a bored exp**ssion, I turned back to face her “Thanks. Anything else? “
“Your dress is simple yet classic and eye-catching, Niles has always had an eye for fashion ” She said all this while fixing the make-up on her face and staring at me through the mirror.
“But then ” she went on ” Niles prefers bold, wild and exploring styles ” She said, washed her hand and walked towards me before reaching out and tearing off some pieces of tissue from the dispenser behind me.
“What’s your point then? ” I asked her with my arms folded across my ch*st while she dried her w*t hands with this nonchalant exp**ssion on her face.
Tina lifted her head ” The point is he prefers bad girls to sweet, innocent, and sly golddiggers who don’t know where they belong ” she emphasized , dumped the toilet paper on the ground instead of the bin and stepped on it with her heel.
I laughed, a long, hysterical that made her brows raise as she asked in bewilderment,
“What is so funny? “
I laughed ” Since he loves girls who like to flash their private parts in public, don’t you think it’s a great change and a bad one for you since he suddenly switched to the sweet, good, innocent, type?”
Tina eyes flashed ” I never exposed my private part in public! “
I snorted ” Incase you did not read my l*ps well, but I never mentioned a name.” I reminded her ” So if you’re feeling guilty ? not my cup of tea and I’ll you reminded incase you’ve forgotten that private or intimate parts for females include the vulva, vagina, b**tocks , anus, mons pubis and br***ts “
I stepped closer and intentionally stared down at her br***t which looked two times bigger than mine. Nah, I bet she had an implant, there is no way those b**bs were natural and I’m not saying that because I’m jealous – note my word.
I went on ” I’ll have you know that the female br***ts are considered as parts that should be covered in most contexts and intentional exposure of one’s intimate parts is a form of exhibitionism”
I informed her while she had this shocked look of disbelief on her face and I summarized with a fake sweet smile ” That would be all for now Miss Tina and I hope you learnt a lot from my lessons “
Flashing her a victorious smirk this time, I turned to leave when I felt someone tug my hair so tight it hurt.
“Ouch! ” I exclaimed and grabbed her hand on my hair ” What do you think you’re doing?! “
“You think you’re so smart, huh ? ” She spat with hatred “But by the time I’m done with you, you will regret ever messing with me “
Tina made her intentions known and increased her grasp on my hair, so tight that a tears sl*pped down my face ; I was sure I’ve lost a few strands already.
Infuriated, I took both of my hands and grabbed Tina’s hand clutching my hair, held it steady and somehow twisted my body to face her before bringing up my knees to her stomach.
Tina yelped in pain the moment I kneeled her, released her grasp on my hair and took a step back, almost stumbling in the process.
“I might not be a rich bitch like you with bodyguards at her beck and calls but I’m definitely a black belt holder “
“Y-you ! ” She raged ” I’ll sue you for this! ” she threatened me and I scoffed derisively.
I pursed my l*ps and shrugged my shoulders
“Sure go on but you have forgotten that your DNA is on my hair already, let’s see who would win in the court of law” I countered her threat
“Speaking of which, I should be the one filing for assault, you attacked me first ! But then you can go ahead, I give you my permission and I’m not afraid cause I’ve got evidence already ; it’s just an act of self-defense “
I fl**ked an invisible dust off my fi**ger and continued, “Moreover, I’ve got Niles on my side already and you of all people should know how stubborn he is when he sets his mind on something ” came my shameless boast which had Tina t***ue-tied.
” Y-you ” She choked while pointing at me and the other one clutching her stomach.
