Chapter 13 - Welcoming Dinner Party

Around 8:00 in the evening,  the garden was decorated very beautifully, the maids and the butler were busy preparing for Carie's welcoming dinner party. They needed everything to work perfectly and most of the dishes preparing were Carie's favourite. 

Inside Carie's Bedroom 

Carie was standing infront of the vanity mirror inside her bedroom, the decor was exquisite and classy but very simple. Her lifestyle wasn't like a cliche rich high class girl and maybe that's what makes her unique in the upper class. She then sat on her bed and remembered the last time she was in her room and how devastated she felt that day. She also reminisce the way Lim kissed her before everyone, a hot stinging tear fell from her eyes and rolled down her delicate face, before finally bursting out in tears " why do you always do this to me huh, you make me feel special and loved but in reality you don't love me, and I can't stop my stupid heart from loving you " Carie sobbed but continued lamenting " I loved you so much and you told me that you do too but yet you went back to your ex and slept with her,  I hate you Lim, I really do ". She knelt down before her bed wept bitterly, her tears were choking her then she heard a knock on the door, she ran to the bathroom and washed her face then went to open the door. The head maid opened the door and four other maids entered holding a beautiful black dress with diamond stones they took it to her dressing room and then she asked " what is these for? " , the head maid replied " Miss we are here to get you ready for your welcoming dinner party ", " dinner party?, but I told grandpa I wasn't ready for this now " Carie said as she sighed and followed the maid to the bathroom. 

They took her in, she took her bath and also helped her put on her dress. She looked at the mirror and saw her reflection, although she was a very beautiful and sexy lady and is very proud of that she still wondered what she was lacking that made Lim betray her in such manner. She changed her hair style while abroad, she didn't cut her hair and left it long and wavy unlike before when she kept her hair at shoulder length and this new style really suits her well so for tonight she left it to fall on her waist line. " Young Miss you look so breathtaking " the head maid complimented while smiling.  " The guest are here so you should go down now "  said the head maid as they left Carie's room.

When she came down the stairs and went to the garden, she saw that everyone was there and the place ce was beautifully decorated. She looked at the people present and was very happy that her grandad considered her while choosing the  guests because she was very familiar with the people there and doesn't like be in a crowdof peoplejust likeher brotherand she heard that'sthe way her motherbehavedwhen she was alive. Once she spotted her brother she ran to meet him and hugged him, " big bro I miss you so much " Carie said as tears of joy rolled down her face " " l also missed you a lot sis but I'm happy you are back and you are not leaving again " Jason said wiping the tears off her eyes,  Carie was really glad she refused on wearing makeup else she would have been looking scary due to her tears. Jason really doted on his sister and was sad she left but he is glad she is back and he would make sure she doesn't leave again, although he knows the reason for her departure he didn't pry in their affair and Lim wanted to sort this out his own way because if it was left to him that girl will be praying to die because he would send someone in particular who is familiar in showing people their right places to deal with her.

" Yes, I won't be going back but rather I will stay here with you all " said Carie. Jason released her from his embrace and she sat down after hugging and greeting everyone present and  she was also very happy when she saw Dave who was like an elder brother to her but she didn't greet someone and that person is of course Lim,  her fiancee. She felt a strong intense gaze at her and she turned to see the owner of these piercing eyes. She saw Lim looking at her from the opposite side of the table, she hated this feeling when she felt hot and bare under his gaze but she decided to look elsewhere. She was sitted close to her grandad on his request, while they were eating and Carie started telling them of her experiences in England while she was still talking, someone entered the garden looking really handsome.  " Sorry I am late, I had an emergency before coming said the man as he entered the garden ". " No problem son you can join us " Grandpa Alfredo said.  The man stared at the lady sitted eating who looked like a princess,  he really missed her so much,  Carie felt someone staring at her and she heard the voice of a man that just stepped in and it sounded so much like her friend xander's voice. When she turned around to see the person she saw that it was indeed her old friend Xander, she immediately stood up smiling broadly and hugged him. 

Xander's POV 

He looked intensely at Carie it seems she hasn't noticed him yet as she kept on eating, he felt his heart beating rapidly,  he was smitten by her beauty. " It seems Carie became more beautiful over the years, she looks a bit more matured now "  he mused to himself, he wanted to call her name but she turned and their eyes met, she came forward to hug him smiling widely then she led him to sit close to her. 

While all this was going on, the aura of the place changed to something blood thirsty and cold,  it was oozing  out from three men sitted on the table.
