Bridal Shower
I JUST CLOSED my eyes and continued dancing but was immediately dted when someone held me.
“What are you doing here?”
Instead of answering, he took off his coat and covered my body.
“You’re drunk!” he shouted because the music is too loud.
“No, I’m not!” I felt his hand on my wrist, and I was stunned. My heart was pounding.
“Bestie, we have a problem. Carrick is here!” I heard Cindy say, and I sumbed to her tow as we saw
Carrick approaching.
“Hello, love! What are you doing here?” Cindy asked with wide eyes.
“The group decided to continue the bachelor’s party here,” he replied and kissed his fiancée on the
cheek.
“You should not be here!” Cindy muttered.

“It’s alright, love. They seem happy to see us,” Carrick replied before ncing at some of his
I looked to hispanions. I think they are at ten. Some of them are familiar.
“Okay, love,” Cindy agreed before hugging her groom and giving him a kiss on the lips.
Suddenly people shouted as the host introduced the neers.
Then I look for Lawrence. I saw him sitting at the high stool in front of the bar while drinking a ss of
vodka.
My heart almost stopped. I was overwhelmed when his dark eyes and authoritative aura hit me. I
couldn’t stand his hot stare, so I quickly cut my gaze to it and looked for the way to thefort room.

WHEN I RETURNED, I sat right next to Cindy in front of Carrick’s guests. I stared at them. I was
familiar with Jocko, the son of one of our business partners, and Lawrence, right in front of me.
I shifted on my seat ufortably. Until now, I can still feel the heat of his stares at me.
“Bro, introduce us to your partner.”
I nced at Carrick, who turned his face at me.
“Guys, I’d like you to meet Margaux Collins, my fiancée’s best friend,” said Carrick.
Then they started introducing one by one until someone extended a hand to me.
“Hi! I’m Peter Monteverde. Nice to meet you, Margaux.”
“Nice to meet you too, Peter,” I replied. I couldn’t help but gasp because of the tightness of his grip on
my hand.
I looked at him. He is handsome. His eyes were pale with his white color, his lips were redder—and I
think absolutely soft—and his nose seemed to be perfect. His haircut gave him a stronger appeal.
I slowly pulled my hands from his grip and smiled.
The night deepened. Almost everyone in the room was already dancing. Carrick and Cindy were also
there, and they were in charge of the dance floor.
Peter approached me again. “Hi! Will you dance with me?” he asked in a resonant voice.
For a moment, my gaze flew to Lawrence. He had been quiet the whole night. I did not have a chance
to talk to him and return the coat I’m still wearing tonight.
I finally turned to Peter, who had already held out his hand to me.
“Sure,” I answered.
We quickly reached the dance floor and danced to the melodious music.
“You’re so beautiful, Margaux,” Peter whispered to my ear.
I shut my eyes when he wrapped his arms around my waist.
“Can I ask you something?” he whispered again.
“Hmm, what is it?”
I met his gaze. He bowed slightly to me.
“Can I court you?” he asked sweetly.
I was about to answer when Peter’s grip tightened on my waist. He slowly lowered his face and looked
at my plump lips. He was about to kiss me, but I was surprised at what happened next.
Lawrence grabbed Peter’s arm and pulled me away. Then he quickly punched him that caught the
attention of some people at the party.

“What’s wrong with you?!” Peter tried to stand up, but Lawrence kicked him again.
That’s where I intervened. “What is your problem?” I red at him.
Lawrence did not hesitate to answer. Instead, he pulled me out of the room. The next thing I knew, I
was already in his car and shouting because of the speed of his car.
“Stop this car, Lawrence! Where are you taking me?! I will call the police!”
“Shut up, or I will f*cking kiss your lips!” he said in a serious voice.
“D*mn it!” Who is he to do that?!
I leaned my head against the backrest and did not realize that I had fallen asleep due to the extreme
dizziness. When I opened my eyes again, Lawrence greeted me.
“Here we are,” he said in a low voice.
I quickly sat up and rolled my eyes at him. The air I took was not enough to relieve the nervousness
rising in my heart.
“Where are we? Why did you bring me here?” I asked alertly. He did not answer, but he got out of the
car and went to my side to open the door for me.
I still wanted to protest, but I was amazed by the beauty in front of me when I turned around.
I’m at the Saavedra Resort. This is the ce where Cindy and Carrick’s wedding will be held tomorrow.
“Let’s go inside. It’s too cold here,” Lawrence told me.
He headed to the front desk to ask for a key. I followed quietly until my feet stop on their presidential
suite. After he opened the door, I was immediately amazed at what I saw.
The room is veryrge with white and gray walls. The couch matches the color of the wall. The
patchwork carpet in front of the t-screen TV is wonderful. There is an open bookcase near the
mahogany table and blue armchair. Everything is perfect. I couldn’t help but admire some of the more
expensive items, such as the chandelier and nt pots. I was already enjoying the sight when I noticed
Lawrence was no longer beside me.
I nced at the open door in the distance. I slowly walked to the door and touched the handle to open
it.
I wandered around the room carefully. I was even more amazed to see the king-size bed. Iy down
slowly. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth and softness of the bed.
But I suddenly woke up when I heard the rush of water from the shower. The nervousness immediately
rose to my heart. But I just chose to lie down and turn a blind eye. I was so shocked when I heard the
shower was turned off. My heart almost stopped.
I heard the door open and its soft closing. But after a while, I didn’t hear anything, so I slowly open my
eyes. But I was shocked to see Lawrence standing in front of me—half-naked.
