    That Friday morning, Aaron and Rabena enjoyed a quiet breakfast in their suite while the rest of the family ate in the hotel restaurant. The ball was set to begin at 4pm and they both knew the day would be hectic, so they used this rare opportunity to enjoy some alone time. While eating her bacon, Rabena began to giggle.


    “Something <i>funny </i><i>my </i><i>future </i><i>wife</i>?”


    Aaron gave a mischievous smirk at Rabena.


    <i>“</i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>just </i><i>thinking</i>, <i>if </i><i>a </i><i>charity </i><i>ball </i>and engagement <i>party </i><i>was </i><i>this </i><i>hectic</i>, <i>imagine </i><i>what </i><i>our </i><i>wedding </i><i>weekend </i><i>is </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>like</i>.”


    Aaron began tough along with Rabena, it was true, their wedding was definitely going to be a weekend to remember. He would have to make sure there would be a way for him and his bride to`sneak off.

    <b><i>-Thomas</i></b><b><i>‘ </i></b><b>POV</b><b>: </b>


    It was the morning of the Charity Ball and Thomas was at his grandmother’s estate. He’d failed to locate Rabena, and panic began to seep into his mind. He paced back in forth in the kitchen as he tried his best to think of a good illness to give his imaginary wife. Just then, Tyler walked in.


    <i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>where’s </i><i>Rabena</i><i>? </i><i>I </i><i>haven’t </i><i>seen </i><i>her </i><i>in </i><i>a </i><i>while</i><i>, </i><i>is </i><i>she </i><i>okay</i><i>?</i>”


    Thomas decided to test his lie out on his cousin regarding Rabena’s illness.


    “Actually, she hasn’t <i>been </i><i>feeling </i><i>too </i><i>well</i><i>, </i><i>it </i><i>looks </i><i>like </i><i>she </i><i>may </i><i>have </i><i>a </i>severe case of <i>the </i><i>flu</i><i>, </i>I think I’m going to


    let <i>her </i><i>stay </i><i>home</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Thomas stared nervously at his cousin trying to determine if his story worked. Tyler raised an eyebrow, he knew Thomas was lying, still, he smiled and nodded leaving no signs he was aware,


    <i>“</i><i>Oh </i>no, I hope she feels better<i>. </i><i>Maybe </i><i>I’ll </ie and <i>see </i>her in a <i>few </i><i>days</i>.”


    Thomas let out a sigh of relief, it looked like his lie was working. He decided to head to the Crest mansion to make sure everyone was on the page.


    Arriving shortly after 11am, Thomas waited in the grand room for the Crests all to arrive, he’d decided not to tell them about his run–in with Damon. The first to arrive was Danielle, she hadn’t spoken to Thomas since the day of the proposal and was worried about where their rtionship stood.


    “Hello Tommy.”

    on


    “He need to discuss the n for tonight E’ll wait for everyone else so we can go over everything together,”


    Danielle’s heart began to race, he didn’t even acknowledge her let alone pay attention to her tears. Sitting next to him on the s, she looked directly into his eyes.


    “Is that all you have to say to me


    Thomas let out a slight sigh, what exactly did she want from him? He wasn’t sure how he felt after everything that happened.


    “What do you want me to say Dant, I’m still upset.


    “I know! I’m sorry Tommy! I didn’t mean for all of this to happen!”


    Danielle’s voice began to break in between sols thawing some of the tee around his heart


    “Dani, I just don’t understand why you did it. Why would you lie about th”


    “Because I was afraid!!”


    Danielle cut Thomas off as he continued to question her, oyes Howing with tears, sobs getting louder.


    “I was afraid that if you learned the truth it would be over for us! Don’t you understand how much I love yout”


    Thomas began to rub his temples; he didn’t understand Danielle’s fear. He’d loved her even before all of this, there was no need to le.


    “Dant, haven’t I always shown you how much I loved you above everything else. You didn’t have to lie, I would have never left you


    Danielle suddenly stopped crying; her red eyes pierced straight through Thomas. While it was true he did love her, she knew how much he wanted to be CEO.
