Birthday Party III

Enraged, Mr Wellington stormed towards the stairs after deducing the location of the room to confront the shameless duo. Today was his day yet the duo spared him no face totally ruining his big day.

", These youngsters are now so daring ". Eldest Master Henderson and some of the guest fumed and followed the annoyed Mr Wellington upstairs and some group of guests also followed behind.

Angrily reaching for the spare key to the room, they all barged into the room.

They were met with a spectacle of the intoxicated duo, Lizzy and an elderly man who was also a guest both tangled haphazardly beneath the sheets unaware and engrossed in their escapade, oblivious to the public disturbance they had caused or the group of crowd who barged in.

The situation quickly turned chaotic, with the some of the guests taking videos and photos while some tried to wake them by calling their name and restore decorum to the party.

"Isn't that Lizzy, Aubrey's close friends".

"Now i really doubt her too , acting so good while it's all fake"

" Tch , tch. Indeed birds of the same feather flocks together".

Another wave of whisper and commotion soon ensued with Aubrey standing there in shock, as still as a statue unable to believe her eyes.

Gazing around the crowd, he saw Mia who was standing bedside Lucian clearly untouched and sane.

Her mouth hang open in shock and suprise, realizing that their plan had backfired and even more her reputation was now at stake . She had immediately become the center of attention and whisper.

Reaching for the jar of water on the bedside table nearby , Aubrey grabbed it and flung it on the inebriated duo .

"Stop taking pictures". She tried stopped the nosy crowd , an action which seemed next to impossible as the crowd was bent on taking the pictures.

Gradually, the duo regained their consciousness and realize what was happening in their surrounding.

Lizzy immediately grabbed the blanket draping it over herself as soon as she realize she was naked and most importantly before an huge crowd and with a man on the bed.

Realizing what had transpired, she bent her head now filled with shame and regret.

" You old and useless fella, how dare you take advantage of my friend because she's drunk". Aubrey pointed accusingly at the man who was still surprised.

Lizzy noticing Aubrey's action got angry and lashed out.

"You . How dare you do this to me". She yelled and jumped out of the bed , grabbing Aubrey by the hair maniacally and started pulling on her hair whilst Aubrey cried for help.

The scene soon became chaotic as everyone was thrown into disarray. Some of the guests immediately seperated the two ladies .

Aubrey immediately ran behind her father who ran his hands through his hair frustratedly taking refuge behind him.

"Come over here if you H

pay for ever treating me in such manners".

Lizzy cried and Aubrey realizing she would soon let the cat out of the bag cried in pain and ran to embrace Lucian who flung her away.

Going on her knees before Lucian who was shocked at the unfolding events, she cried.

" Lucian, you have to protect me. You really do". She held his legs apologetically.

" I did all this for Mia or she would have been in Lizzy's stead today". She added and Mia gasped in shock finally realizing the turns of events.

" Earlier at the party, Lizzy saw you cuddled up with Mia and got angry on my behalf that you were ignoring me even after our marriage and that you were bewitched by Mia".

" She said she'll teach Mia a proper lesson since she never let you and I live in peace, been a constant source of conflict between us but I disagreed after all it wasn't totally Mia's fault, i was the one who snatched you away . ."

" But now she thinks I did this to her, I swear I did nothing . .

"Keep shut". Lizzy interrupted enraged. "Whatsoever happened to me here was supposed to happen to Mia. Did you forget how you've meticulously planned everything, from drugging Mia's wine to having me prepare this room and lure a drunk man in ".

Lizzy explain pointing to the man. " Did you forget everything you did , now you dare to pin all the blame on me ".

" Liar". Aubrey insisted gazing at the crowd with a pitiful expression begging them to believe her.

" Alright, I know I can't win against you but I have witnesses". Lizzy scoffed and tightly draped the blanket over herself again."You just call over the waiter and everything will be clear".

Mr Wellington pressed his hands on his temples annoyed at the scene but he called for all the waiters present at the party anyways.

"You, Larry". Lizzy pointed to the waiter to whom gave Mia the drink and another waiter whom she gave the key to the room.

"Who instructed you to drug Mia's drink and you who told you to lure the drunk man inside the room together with me ?".

" Ma'am you told me yourself to drug the drink and stay behind Miss Mia so she'll take the wine from me and you also instructed my colleague here to drug the man too and lead him to this room". Larry explained bowing.

" You . . You really are despicable". Lizzy swayed backwards surprised by the waiter's confession.

"Thank goodness for the witneses or I'll have been hold guilty for a crime I know nothing about". Aubrey sighed in relief nodding at the waiter.

Mia on the other side was totally shocked for what was laid in plan for her, she staggered backwards but was held by Lucian who was as equally surprised as her.

"Mr Wellington, I deserve an. . "

Mr Wellington interrupted Lucian mid-sentence, facing the crowd he immediately phoned the police who arrived almost immediately to arrest Lizzy.

Mia watched as the police dragged Lizzy away, grateful for her narrow escape even though she knew Lizzy was innocent.

She had no reason to hut her while Aubrey had every reason to. She could only clench her fist filled with hatred as disgust as she watched the Mia apologized to Aubrey and leaving subtly after.

Soon the hall was empty only with the Wellington's, Mia and Lucian and Eldest Master Henderson present.

"Mr Wellington, there's something I'll like to discuss with you". Lucian approached the distressed Wellington.

" Come over for dinner and let's discuss over dinner. I'm tired right now". He brushed Lucian off coldly.
