I have never eaten such a delicious dessert in my life. I just want to eat and eat. I don't want to stop.
Suddenly, my eyes stopped at something.
But her back was facing me. I think I met her before I knew her.
I put my plate aside while making my way nearer to her to see who she was.
Slowly, I went towards them to see that woman.
I gasped a little. She was the same woman who saved me from falling back there in the hotel.
She was wearing a beautiful stunning prom gown from the upcoming Chanel collection with diamond earrings. She was wearing very little makeup but only a beautiful red shade of lipstick.
"Oh, hey, we meet again," I smiled.
"Yes, it's so unexpected," she said while tickling a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"You here?" she asked.
"I am here with my husband," I said.
"Oh," she said.
"Hi, I am Meghan Candsdale, wife of Gered Candale,"
Oh, so she is the wife of Mr. Gered Candsale.
I introduced myself in a cheerful voice. "I am Emberly Campbell."
Her eyebrows furrowed a little as she tilted her head like she was trying to remember.
"Mr. Adrian Campbell's wife," I finally told her.
She snapped her head at me. "Adrian," she yelled.
I stiffened looking at her. "Do you know him personally?" I asked her.
"Yeah, we know each other," she smiled lightly at me as she licked her lips absently.
"Excuse me," she said sluggishly, moving quickly away from my path.
I remained looking at her back, wondering whathad suddenly just happened to her, why she started behaving differently with the name of Adrian.
I shrugged and went towards another section of desserts, but my leg struck something and my upper lip curled back as I was ready to fall on the harsh floor, but nothing happened as I felt something holding me from my waist up.
I looked and found a very handsome man, but not more than Adrian holding me by my waist.
"Thank you," I said while setting up invisible non-existing creases on my dress, even though I was wearing minimal makeup.
"My pleasure, to help a beautiful woman," he said, smiling at me.
I looked around, unable to think of what to say or do to him. I don't even know him.
"Oh, I didn't even introduce myself. I am Geread Cansdale,"
Oh, so he is Mr. Cansdale, who is the host of this banquet party.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Cansdale," I said while shaking my hand with him.
"I am Emberly Campbell." I smiled.
"Oh, so you are the infamous mystery girl who Adrain married," he said while pausing and looking at my eyes suddenly. We heard the sound of a clearing throat.
Suddenly, mom's phone rang, and she went away to attend to the call.
"So it won't happen," she said while placing her hand over my shoulder.
I was thinking about that incident when I met Mrs. Candsale, and her strange behaviour after she found out I was Adrian's wife.
Skylar frowned. "Did you both meet someone there?" she asked.
"Yes, we went to a banquet party, and there I met Mrs. Meghan Candsale, wife of Mr. Gerard Candsale,"
Skylar jerked her head at me while bouncing backward. "You meet Meghan there," she added, and I nodded, tilting my head in her direction.
"Why, what's wrong?" I asked her.
"She was his ex. That woman who betrayed him, who cheated on him over his back sleeping with Gered when she was in a relationship with my brother," Skylar said, looking down at the floor. Adrian used to be madly in love with her. You know what they say when a Campbell falls, they fall so hard and my brother also fell so hard for that gold digger woman," she said heavily while her hands clenched into fists as she looked at the floor.
I glared at the wall beside me. I never liked the idea of Adrian being in love with someone other than me. No one has a right to his love other than me. I will break the neck of Adrian's ex-girlfriend if she ever comes within three feet of mine. He is mine and mine alone.
I know I'm acting ridiculously here, but it's true, and now that I've realised I'm in love with Adrain, no one has authority over him but me.
I showed my hand, stopping her to say more. I never wanted to hear about his ex-love life. I curled my hands into fists and my lips pressed in a thin line as I breathed heavily, closing my eyes.
"What happened Em? Are you alright?" she asked while placing her hand over my shoulder.
I turned away from there and dashed into Adrian's bedroom, swallowing consciously and forcing my limbs to relax, my hands sweaty. No one else had the right to Adrian's love except me.
Now the only thing that is so important to me, the only thing I care so much about is Adrian. I love him more than anyone can only imagine.
The love That deepest kind of love, which is more than ordinary love...
