In Meredith Country, there used to be a business war clash. The central district--- where the biggest business in the world had their branches built, and one of them is the Balmorris Family, the family that has a hundred chain restaurants. Meanwhile, the Montreal family,, had the farms and freshly produced vegetables used as their primary ingredients for the foods. That is why the merging of the family is such a big deal for everyone in the country.
Breaking News: The Blackstone Heir has arrived in Meredith Country today! Will he finally take over the Blackstone Empire?
That is the headline of most of the news outlets that I see. The Blackstone Family is not your typical elite family--- they are much more powerful than that. They had been ruling the underworld of the country, even though I, as one of those rich and elite, our family did not want to get entangled with them.
I put down my phone on the table as the designer came in to put on my makeup. Today is the day. I should not have those thoughts when this day is centralized with me. I am so excited and entered the hall, where our engagement party will be happening.
"You look stunning today," he said and kissed my cheeks and I blushed.
"Mikhael, I am so happy today!" I whispered to him, and her eyes glistened, "Finally!" I blurted out as we had announced to the world that we are getting married.
“Yes,” he answered with that innocent face of his.
"Congratulations!" Everyone--- those powerful families and people all around the country had clapped before us. Flashes of cameras had enveloped the two from different reporters and media.
"You guys are so good together!" said our friends and were really cheering for them. Me and Mikhael smiled at them. I also waved at Mona, Tier, and Gustav. I can feel that they are happy for us, except for someone who looks timid--- Strike. It seems that his parents have forced him to come here, but I still smiled at him anyway while he shook his head.
“Thank you so much,” I said and kept waving at them.
The Engagement of Balmorris and Montreal Family.
These two families are one of the biggest business conglomerates, and marrying for love is big! We had been childhood friends, and everyone expected us to marry one day. The mood is light and happy, everyone is celebrating when the door suddenly opens when a pregnant woman suddenly comes in. Everyone looks at her.
I just thought she was just another guest– well, my parents invited a lot. They are looking forward to this event as much as I do. So I do not care much. This is my day!
Right, the perfect day to ruin everything is today, as the wedding will only be attended privately and the media will not be entertained. It was a sacred thing for both the families.
"Stop the engagement!" she said. Just like one of those cliques things they have been saying during the wedding. The woman is beautiful--- her long curly hair fits her, and she is very slim despite having a big stomach. I looked at her with a
I don't know who she is, she looks familiar and I have a very bad feeling about this.
"W-what is that?" and the cameras suddenly turned to her. I looked at Mikhael and his face turned pale.
"Mira...?" Mikhael asked and my full attention immediately turned to him. This lingering feeling inside me is not getting good.
"Do you know her?" I asked because I had a bad feeling about this day. I tried my best to smile. I felt her chest tighten and clenched my fist. I looked at the girl who was looking at him intently. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Mikhael is famous so it would made sense that she knows him.
"Mikhael!" I said and tapped his shoulder. I need an answer. Why? Why is a girl like her in here during our engagement party?! Why would she ruin such an important event for us?
"Who are you?!" Asked by my mother, "How is she able to enter?! Get her out! She is ruining my daughter's engagement party!" she shouted and ordered the waiters and guards to get ahold of her. My father is also behind her.
"No, no! Don't touch me!" she said and cried and pointed at Mikhael, "He... Mikhael Montreal is the father of my child! SO stop the engagement now!” she said and cried out in front of so many guests.
“What?”
“What did she say?”
“What the hell?! Get that woman out of here now!” Mikhael’s mother shouted and
Their expression was shocking as well, but it cannot be compared to what I’m feeling right now.
I felt like her world was doomed and the fire had exploded inside my heart. Tears continuously flow from my eyes. I looked at Mikhael with a very hurt expression.
"What is the meaning of this, Mikhael?!" I slapped him, and the guests are looking at us right now. For sure, we will be on the headlines... and this humiliation will go for years! But I don't care right now!
"D... Diana, it was not true! Let me explain!" he said and grabbed my wrist, "Please listen to me..." he said but then I let go and slapped his face.
"Let go of me!" I said, "How could you do this to me?!" I cried and our memories flashed before my eyes. Years of precious memories. I felt that I was betrayed.
"Diana, no! I did not---" I shook my head and made him let go of my arms. I can’t bring myself to listen to him.
