As the guest continued to arrive, the girls along with everyone else headed to the ballroom. Kai and I would be making our grand entranceter. I had to give Ka her credit; the ballroom was
absolutely beautiful. I suddenly became anxious thinking about our wedding. Just then, Kai called <ol><li>me. </li></ol>
“Hello <i>my </i><i>love</i>.”
“Hello <i>back</i>. <i>Are </i><i>you </i><i>dressed</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>Emm </i><i>hmm</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>just </i><i>finished </i><i>the </i><i>rest </i>of <i>my </i><i>makeup</i>. <i>You</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“<i>I </i><i>bet </i><i>you </i><i>look </i><i>beautiful</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>can’t </i><i>wait </i><i>to </i><i>see </i><i>you</i><i>. </i><i>And </i><i>yes</i>, <i>I </i><i>actually </i><i>just </i><i>finished</i><i>.</i>”
I smiled lightly thinking about how handsome Kai probably looked. He’d chosen a ck tailed three
piece suit. The tie, inside of the jacket and his mask all ent my dress. I beamed at the thought of
us rising together.
“<i>Well </i>then<i>…</i>I’ll <i>see </i><i>you </i><i>soon</i>. <i>I </i><i>can’t </i><i>wait </i><i>to </i><i>see </i><i>how </i><i>handsome </i><i>you </i><i>look</i>.”
We both paused for a moment before hanging up. We would be together soon. I just needed our
esteemed guests to arrive first.
The time was 6pm when the Rochesters and Jonathan arrived. I could feel my heart racing as they entered the ballroom. Thanks to the speakers that were ced, I could hear most of everyone’s
conversations.
<i>“</i>Mother! Do you see <i>this</i><i>! </i><i>Whosever </i><i>party </i><i>this </i><i>is </i><i>their </i>theme <i>is </i><i>way </i>better than mine <i>was </i><i>this </i>year<i>! </i>Next year I want something <i>ten </i>times <i>better</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Olivia was pouting as she scanned the room. No matter what, everything had to always be about her. I chuckled at her arrogance of thinking she could outdo Ka Christiansen.
<i>“</i><i>Don’t </i>worry dear…it <i>will </i><i>be</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
And of course, mother was right there to indulge her.
<i>“</i>Don’t <i>worry </i><i>Livie</i>, <i>you’re </i>still doing better <i>than </i>Grd. <i>Her </i><i>birthday </i><i>is the </i>same <i>day </i><i>as </i><i>yours </i>and

she <i>didn’t </i><i>even </i><i>get </i>a <i>party</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
:
Cole spoke with a smug tone. And this was supposed to be the nice brother. What a joke.
“<i>Who </i><i>would </i>want to <i>throw </i>a <i>party </i><i>for </i><i>Grd</i>. <i>That’s </i><i>like </i><i>throwing </i><i>a </i><i>party </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><i>maid</i><i>.</i><i>” </i><fn20d8> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FindN0vel</fn20d8>
Brian sneered as they made their way into the ballroom.
<i>“</i><i>Enough</i><i>! </i><i>Tonight </i><i>we’re </i><i>here </i><i>to make </i><i>sure </i><i>we’re </i><i>on the </i><i>good </i><i>graces </i><i>of </i><i>House </i><i>Christiansen </i><i>and </i><i>to </i><i>also </i><i>make </i><i>sure </i><i>Grd </i><ies </i><i>back </i><i>with </i>us. <i>Even </i><i>if </i><i>she’s </i><i>not </i><i>here</i><i>, </i><i>we </i><i>can’t </i><i>risk </i><i>others </i><i>hearing </i><i>you </i><i>bad </i>
<i>mouth </i><i>them </i><i>or </i><i>her</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>

Ever the business schemer, Noah really was just like dad.
As the party progressed, my father looked around in irritation.
“<i>Where </i><i>are </i><i>the </i><i>Christiansens </i><i>and </i><i>why </i><i>haven’t </i><i>they </i><i>announced </i><i>who </i><i>this </i><i>party </i><i>is </i><i>for</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“Yes, <i>this </i>is <i>rather </i><i>unbing </i><i>of </i><i>such </i><i>a </i><i>prominent </i><i>family</i>.
Just as my mother was chiming in, Ma and Theo walked directly behind them.
<i>“</i><i>Enjoying </i><i>yourselves</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Ma’s words caused everyone to jump and turn around. If it weren’t for the masks, you would have been able to see all the color draining from their faces.
<i>“</i><i>L</i><i>–</i><i>Lord </i><i>and </i><i>Lady </i><i>Christiansen</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
My father nervously asked as they began to bow.
<i>“</i><i>Mr. </i>& Mrs. <i>Rochester</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
My father–inw stated in a stoic tone causing my father to shudder,
<i>“</i><i>Well</i><i>! </i>It’s a <i>pleasure </i>to see <i>you </i><i>both</i><i>! </i><i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>so </i><i>much </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><i>invitation</i><i>! </i><i>Everything </i><i>looks </i><i>beautiful</i><i>!</i>”
“<i>Oh </i><i>yes</i>! <i>This </i><i>theme </i>was <i>amazing</i>! <i>You </i><i>two </i>really <i>know </i><i>how </i>to throw a <i>party</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
My mother chimed in with my father. All this ass kissing was starting to upset my stomach.
<i>“</i>Are you sure? You don’t think <i>it’s </i>unbing<i>?</i>”
My parents both stared at each other nervously. Suddenly, Ma let out a sardonicugh.
<i>“</i><i>Just </i><i>kidding</i>. <i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><ipliment</i>. <i>It </i><i>was </i><i>actually </i><i>my </i><i>daughter’s </i><i>idea</i><i>.</i>”
Sharon and Calvin bothughed nervously.
“<i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>well</i><i>, </i><i>you </i>must <i>let </i>us <i>speak </i><i>with </i><i>her </i><i>sometime </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>some </i><i>ideas </i><i>about </i><i>future </i><i>parties </i><i>and </i><i>events</i><i>! </i><i>Afterall</i><i>, </i><i>we’re </i><i>all </i><i>family </i><i>now</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
