Looking at the woman in front of her with a smug smile, Lina felt as if she was looking at a clown.
“Isn’t this the young Miss of the Frederick family that was just arrested last week for being involved in prostitution?” Rihanna mocked the girl blocking the door. The young Miss of the Frederick family had been on the news recently for being involved in prostitution. Ria had heard a wind of it this past few days.
“Don’t you dare slander Lisa, she was allegedly accused. It’s not her fault that those blind cops can’t differentiate a prostitute from a wealthy heiress”, one of Lisa’s followers says smugly.
Lisa is Daniel’s younger sister. She hasn’t liked Lina since the first time she met her. She has always been against her. She supported the idea of Mira being with her brother rather than Lina. When Lina broke up the wedding that day at the altar, she was so angry that she wanted to settle scores with her immediately.
Who would have thought that she wouldn’t be able to find her since then. Now that she saw her here, she felt it’s the right opportunity to humiliate her and also avenge her dearest brother.
“You bitch! Don’t you dare slander me, I was allegedly accused, stop using what happened in the past to judge the present” Lisa roared at Ria wanting to pounce on her.
“Oh! I shouldn’t use the past to judge you, tell me what you are doing now. By the way, if I remembered correctly, it’s lina that dumped your scumbag brother first, what does it have to do with you? Don’t tell me you are here to avenge your brother?”
“So what if I wanted to avenge my brother? She is just a broken shoe that has been f**k by many disgusting old men. What face did you have to reject my brother’s good will of marrying her? Her mother who is a bitch gives birth to another bitch like her that doesn’t know more than opening her legs for any man that is interested in…”
Pah! Pah! Lisa had not finished her statement before Lina slapped her face twice.”You! Dare! Hit! Me!” Lisa shouted as she held her cheeks . “Shut! Up! How dare you speak about my mother like that. You can abuse me all you want but my mum is my bottom line. The next time you dare curse my mother, it won’t be only a slap you received, I will make sure I tear that rotten mouth of yours.”
Listening to Lina’s cold voice with that cold gaze, Lisa couldn’t help but shiver. “When did this bitch become so powerful that looking at her alone makes me shiver?” Lisa asked herself as she thought about how Lina has always been so submissive to her in order to get her to like her since she was with her brother. She couldn’t believe the naive girl then dared to slap her.
Glaring at her hatefully, Lisa planned to get back at Lina for this humiliation. “Let’s go!” She muttered to her followers as they all left together.
“Why are you running away so quickly? You should have waited to be beaten up before leaving”. Ria mocked as she watched Lisa and her followers fleeing back.
“Don’t be so petty Ria, we should go in already” Lina said to Ria as she held her hand and dragged her into the club house. “Wow! It’s so crazy in here”, Ria whistles as they get into the club house with a joyful expression all over her face.
The club house was full of merriment as people danced to the sound of the DJ beats. Girls could be seen twisting and whining their waist as they danced with their respective partners.
Strippers could also be seen doing their thing as those novieriche heirs sprayed them with money.
After a minute of familiarizing themselves with the club house, Lina and her friend find an empty booth to stay and enjoy the night.
Not long, one of the bottle girls came to take their orders. “My dear Lina, I’ve missed you so much. Just after you get married, you forget about me. What did I do wrong for you to treat me like that?” Ria cried with no tears in her eyes as she continued being dramatic.
Someone who doesn’t know might think Lina is bullying her. “See who is talking, if I had come to meet you, would you have had my time? You were so busy with the production of those mad new designs of yours that you wouldn’t even have time to entertain me, so why should I come and disturb you?” She asked as she stared at the cry baby on her shoulder.
“You know, even if I’m busy with everyone, I can spare some time to be with you. So don’t give me that excuse. It’s like you are enjoying your married life, see how your skin is glowing. It’s like you are being fed well. See your rosy cheeks.” Ria said to Lina changing the topic about Lina not checking up on her.
Lina was about to reply to her when the bottle girl brought all sorts of alcoholic drinks they ordered. Serving them each, she passed the glasses to them one after the other.
After settling their bills, they continue to enjoy the night as they catch up on what they have been up to for the past month. After thirty minutes of catching up on their lives recently in the booth, Ria started feeling restless as she dragged Lina to the dance floor not minding if she would trip on her heels.
“Boo! Hoo!” Ria shouted happily as she started twisting her body to the rhythm of the song being played. Lina isn’t a fan of dancing, but with the help of the little alcohol she took, she also started moving her body. “Wow! Lina, you’ve become better at dancing than the last time I remembered.” Ria said amidst her merry without stopping her body movements.
Lina couldn’t hear whatever she was saying due to the loudspeakers, she just shook her head to acknowledge whatever she said and continued moving her body. Without their knowledge someone was secretly taking their pictures. The person hid himself well among the crowd on the dance floor. No one noticed that anything was wrong.
After two hours of enjoying each other at the clubhouse, Lina dragged the slightly drunk Ria, who was not willing to leave the club.
She doesn’t want Ria to drive back on her own since she was drunk. She tried calling for a cab to come pick her up, but no one was Available at the moment since it’s late in the night, and many of them had already retired for the night.
With no choice, she decided to take Ria to her apartment herself which was very troublesome. After more than an hour, she had already dropped off Ria and tucked her in her bed before breathing out a sigh of relief. Ria had been acting weird due to her drunken state since they were in the car.
She had been singing different types of songs which were a pain to Lina’s ears due to her bad voice.
Looking at the troublemaker on the bed, Lina smiled gently before getting up to turn off the light as she made her way to the elevator after closing Ria’s door.
“Miss Lina?” Someone called her name on getting to the parking lot at Ria’s house. She was surprised to hear her name because she wasn’t acquainted with many people. If not due to her exposure recently online, no one would have known about her existence.
“Do I know you?” She asked the man who seemed to have just gotten out of his car. He was a very handsome man with a dangerous torch on his appearance. He looked like a gentleman, but looking at him deeply, he had this “stay away” aura on his body.
He walked up to her as he also stared at her meaningfully. He had also investigated who his friend, who hadn’t been interested in any girl for the past five years, had a contract marriage with. Even if he had seen everything he had to know about her on paper, he felt that the person in front of him was beyond what he saw on paper.
“Hi miss Lina, I’m Jayden, nice to meet you”. He said to her as he stretched out his hand for a handshake.
“Hi Mr Jayden, nice meeting you too”, she said as she shook his hand firmly. Even though she didn’t know him, she still has to be polite since the latter knows her name.
“Sorry, but I don’t think I know you!” Lina said with a guided expression which Jayden noticed.
He chuckled as he replied to her, “You don’t need to know who I am, but I’m sure we will meet again soon”.
“Have a good night’s rest and drive carefully Miss Lina”.
Staring at his broad back as he walked into the same estate Ria’s apartment is, she fell deep in thought as she started imagining some crazy stuff in her mind.
Shaking her head at her foolish thought, she opened her car door as she got in and drove out of the estate.
