The party dragged on with loud music and bodies moving to the familiar songs playing from the speakers
"May I've this dance?" Liam asked,copying the tone of a rich British prince
"I've a boyfriend and he wouldn't like that,my king"Andrea returned the same tone,bowing her head
She made a fragile attempt to walk away but was pulled back by her hand
"I'm the king and everything I say goes, you would dance with me or I'll fish out you boyfriend and lock him up for having the audacity to take the most beautiful maid in town"
Andrea rolled her eyes good radiantly as she took Liam's huge hand in hers
"You falter me way too much" Andrea pushed her body tightly to Liam,his huge frame shielding her weight as she placed her hand on his shoulder and swayed gently to the music
Liam tried to the same but his steps kept falling him,he almost tripped
"You're quiet an amazing dancer,my king" Andrea voice dripped with sarcasm
"They make it look so easy" Liam was about to trip again but Andrea held him in place
"Quit being a princess and follow my lead" Andrea commanded,disengaging from Liam's hold and walking beside him
"One step at a time,like this"
Andrea showed Liam the steps gently and Liam was starting to get the hang of it,he swiftly moved his right leg to the side and his left leg followed, swaying gently yo the music as he spinned Andrea around
"You're quiet the learner" Andrea praised,leading them to a near by couch,dodging the number of people dancing
"And you're quite the teacher"
Once seated,Liam leans in for a kiss but Andrea moved her face back
"People are everywhere" Andrea announced,his eyes wandering off to the crowd that swayed their bodies with huge smiles on their faces and glass of alcohol in hand.
Andrea didn't imagine spending her Friday evening in a party especially when her best friend,charlotte,was still in a coma and she hadn't gotten a job yet, Andrea had so much on her mind and she wanted to decline the invitation to the party but Lucas wasn't having it,the moment she declined Lucas offered, a hard slap, her face still red with the impact but with the heavy makeup on Andrea face,no body would notice.
"Who cares about people,I want to kiss my girl right now" Liam pouted like a child,his eyes fixed on Andrea's tiny cherry glossed lips
"I'm not your girl" Andrea corrected
Andrea hadn't fully forgiven Liam yet and the moment they had in the garden hadn't changed anything.
Liam betrayed her, hurt her, lied to her. Andrea wasn't ready to forgive him
Liam's face crumpled with disappointment as he opened his mouth to talk but was interrupted by another voice
"We are gathered here today,to celebrate my beautiful wife"
All heads turned to where the voice came from, Lucas was standing in the center of the room,beside him was a beautiful black haired women dressed in a floral dress and beside the woman was Andrea.
Everybody's eyes were fixed on Lucas except Liam, he had his eyes fixed on Andrea
"Eve Walton"
The crowd erupted into claps as Andrea struggled to keep a straight face
Staring at Lucas unlocked dark thoughts,dark thoughts,no sane human should have.
Andrea had the urge to stick a knife down Lucas throat and watch his blood spread all over the floors
Lucas had caused Andrea too much pain and it would only be fair, if she gave him a taste of his own medicine.
"She has been my biggest supporter,my biggest encourager,my number one fan. When life seemed like it made less sense,she was always there to remind me how beautiful life is and if I had the chance to marry her again,I would" A tear rolled down Lucas eyes as his gaze went from his wife, Eve to his daughter, Andrea.
"Awwn" The crowd cheered in unison
"Happy birthday baby" Lucas placed a kiss on Eve's lips,red lipstick sticking to his own, a small chuckle escaped Andrea's lips as her tiny fingers wiped away the lips stick.
Andrea entered the room with a huge blue cake,candles blazing at the top
"Happy Happy Happy Birthday,Happy Happy Happy birthday,we want to wish you a Happy birthday" The crowd sang, forming a small crowd near Eve as she blew out the candles
"Happy birthday mummy" Andrea wrapped her tiny hands around her body and placed a small kiss on her cheeks
Andrea watched the scene with clenched fist
Lucas has made Andrea nothing short of miserable,working with him had been the worst mistake she could ever make,he always landed slaps and punches on her, every time, she tried to rebel, he would threaten her with the one thing she needed the most… Money
Lucas didn't deserve happiness,he deserved to go through hell just like he had put Andrea through.
Andrea made a silent vow to make Lucas suffer for everything he had put her through.
The plan was simple, Andrea would strike when Lucas least expect, she would betray him and ensure he stays locked up behind bars forever.
Andrea's discomfort was palpable,Liam placed a hand on Andrea's clinched fist,shooting her a small smile
"He's an ass" for the first time,Liam looks at his brother and laughs, turning back to Andrea
"Im also not his biggest fan,he stopped peeing his pants at the age of 8" Liam blurted,Andrea's laughter filled the atmosphere,her eyebrows slanted down in relief as she unclenched her fist
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?" Liam asked,his eye brows knotted in confusion
"Make me feel better with just your words"
Liam leaned in,his lips dangerously close to Andrea's ear,her flora scent invading his nostrils as he whispered. "I've other ways to make you feel better"
Liam placed his tongue on Andrea's ear lobe and nibbled on it,a low moan escaping her throat
A blush painted Andrea's cheeks as she gently pushed Liam off,standing up and disappearing into the sea of crowds.
"We need to talk" Tiny hands pulled Liam up,taking him away from the crowd and into a small dark room
Liam knew who exactly it was but he only followed her because he didn't want to create a scene.
"What do you want,Luciana?" Annoyance was evident in Liam's tone as he yanked Luciana's hand off
"Andrea is not who you think she is"
