SARAH POV
"Eliana Williams. I mean Eliana Matt Williams"
I become a stone hearing this.
I look at my dear father but he looks unaffected by my questioning glare.
Well why even I am expecting any clarification when he has cleared himself in the first place I am one to him.
Is he the same person who used to hate me stating I am the murderer of his loving wife now standing in front of him with his second wife? I thought
I hide my hurt inside my smile which now I am master of it and said “Glad to meet you, Mrs. Williams.” I press Mrs. Williams looking at my father who still looked unaffected.
Sean turned around and Mrs. Williams spoke “oh Sean how are you dear?”
Sean nodded to them saying “Good evening Mr. & Mrs. Williams.”
I looked at him astonished. He knew about them and he did not even feel important to tell me this? But again we have not spoken about a parent's so I can't even blame him practically.
“Oh, come on, call me Eliana after all we are family.” She spoke become overly sweet and I wanted to puke on her sugar-laced voice.
“Family or not, I would like to keep things formal unless Sarah wants me to.'' Saying he looked at me and somehow I wanted to kiss his life out for his outstanding cocky reply.
I looked at my father's face and it hardened as if possible and Elliana's face was worth watching.
I bit my smile inside but tight my hold on Sean’s hand so he knew I appreciated his remark.
“Enjoy your evening, we have other guests to greet.” Saying he dragged me to the other side and I obliged, grinning.
We met many guests. I even forgot the count but then finally we sat on the designated chairs and Sean went on the stage to start the bet.
He addressed the audience gracefully and my eyes were stuck on him like glue. Confidence was dripping in body language and he was well aware of what he is doing and the impact people have on his saying. The moment he finished his speech the room burst out in a round of applause for him. For a mere second our eyes met and he shamelessly winked at me.
I looked around if anyone noticed or not but to my dismay everyone had noticed and everyone was giving me a teasing smile.
Gosh, how I want this floor to swallow me at this moment.
“When will the PDA stop?” I muttered in my angry voice in his ear the moment he took the seat next to me.
“Not in this life.” He spoke looking here and there nodding to everyone keeping an elegant smile on his face.
“We shall talk about this the moment we reach home. You get it.?” I again spoke, seething in anger.
“I have some other plans for today so keep it for tomorrow.” He shamelessly declined my order.
I smirk at hearing him and I know better what kind of plan he must have made so I looked at him and batted my lashes cunningly while he raised his one eyebrow in a questioning manner but I again smirk and then he got my point and shake his head the moment he understood what I am saying.
And I grin and nod as if saying I will do exactly as he is thinning. I have a full plan of spoiling his plan for tonight lol.
After some time bidding had started and I almost lost my breath hearing the amount people were bidding and my dear husband was not less. I was gulping the lump I was forming and looking ahead pretending as if it does not affect me but well reality is bang opposite.
Gosh, how can these people blow so much money in a few seconds? Hats off to them.
After the bid soft music started. Few people went to the stage to dance and few went to have their dinner.
“May I have the pleasure to Dance with you?” I look up hearing Sean’s voice.
“Sure” Smiling, I got up and we went toward the podium hand in hand.
Hostel life has taught me many things and dance is one of them.
Soft music was playing and we started swaying our bodies in rhythm. I was looking at his sharp features and his bluish-grey eyes were looking intensely at me or to be precise my lips.
I again smirk thinking about his plan.
“You are not serious about tonight Mrs. Hudson are you?” He asked me to pull him close to him.
“I never joke about Mr. Hudson,” I said keeping my chin high.
“Did anyone ever tell you, you are a seductress?” He said coming close to my ear. Our cheeks are touching each other and his lips are intensely touching my skin.
“That’s news for me,” I said tilting my head to the other side, giving him some more space.
“What can I do to change your mind?” He asked to pull me more as if possible.
“Ahaa so business tycoon Mr. Hudson is on to make a deal ahmm?” I asked, looking at him.
“Yupp” He pressed the P.
“Ok how about we reach home and think of something which benefits both of us? I asked, smirking.
“Sounds like a plan.” He replied.
Song has stopped, so does our footstep. “Now come on, I can't wait to grab the deal today.”
Saying he was about to walk past but suddenly we hear the glass shatter all over around and before I could understand it was dark everywhere.
Looking at the dark my heartbeat accelerated and I felt a sudden pain. But I was not getting what was happening. So many noises were hitting my ears back to back. People were crying in pain and maybe fear or something.
I tried to look around but it was too hard to even see your hand.
