CHAPTER 7

The Royal Hotel

A red carpet was seen as the guests arrived one after another. Well-known cars worth millions and millions of dollars will be seen arriving one by one. Arianna was in a special room with her family which were watching what's happening at the venue. They saw the arrival of the Gu family with Kevin and the one hanging on his arms was none other than Rosie Lin that she heard became an actress in the entertainment industry which is being handled by Starpower Agency, one of the company the Gu's has under their corporation.

"The cheaters have arrived," she thought. "Let the games begin." Her family was looking at her and at the boys. They know what's in her mind and they feel what she was feeling at the moment. They already knew about the betrayals and they ached for her.

The time has come and the celebration planner called their attention. The first to show up were Mr. and Mrs. Lu who were in their best suit and gown. Next was Grandfather Lu. Their names were being called upon by the host of the evening. When the host called Arianna's name together with Apollo's and Ares' names, the crowd we're shocked and voices heard.

"Who are those names being mentioned? "

"I thought this is Arianna's welcome party."

And as Arianna appeared at the door with her two handsome escorts, the guests were mystified upon seeing the beautiful Arianna and the handsome looking twins. They arrived at the family table and the host gave the microphone to Arianna. "Good evening, everyone! Thank you for gracing this event! This is just a meet and greet. Enjoy!" And as she finished her speech, Kevin walked to their table with Rosie by his side, "Arianna!"

"Hello, Mr. Gu! " she said and sat down on a chair between the boys. "Who are these cute little boys? How have you been? Can we talk? Kevin fired questions one after another. "They are my sons. And you don't have to know of my whereabouts from the past seven years."

Kevin was stupefied from her remarks but he controlled himself. "Arianna, please forgive me for what had happened in the past. It was just that..." Before Rosie could finished her sentence, Apollo spoke, "Mommy, let us eat, we are starving already," then he looked up at the couple with his ice-cold gaze. Then the Lu family ignored them and started to eat.

After awhile, Arianna went table hopping and conversed with some of the most influential guests. Her parents did the same. Other guests were brown-nosing her parents and she just smiled at the words she heard. From afar, Kevin couldn't take his eyes of of hers while Rosie Lin just observing. She was jealous of the look Kevin showed. She never received that kind of look from him since the first time they have been together.

Kevin thought to himself without taking his eyes from Arianna who was talking to the CEO of an architectural firm that the woman in front of him had changed a lot. She became more beautiful and confident. He looked at the twins and a warm feeling enveloped his heart. As if they feel that someone was looking at them, the boys, who were busy with their tablets, looked around and saw Kevin looking at them. They looked at each other and shrugged.
