MEETING ONCE AGAIN 1 ~AT THE MARINO'S MANSION
"Wow ! Princess you look fabilous ",Melissa beamed while descending the stairs.
" Quit the drama mom, besides it's not the first time that you see me changing hairstyles cause I literally do that every week", Hazel grumbled. Her mom was always exaggerating when it came to her looks. Yeah she's pretty but no need to always scream at every hairstyle. That's truly the price to pay for such a pretty face and a gorgeous body.
" What did you guys get in the mall? Those shopping bags really look loaded with stuffs. Baby please don't tell me you spent billions today like it was nothing ", Melissa said approaching her daughter with a suspicious look.
" Oops ! I might have mistakingly spent some billions going on my shopping spree , some skin treatments, body massage, getting my nails done all over and a new hairstyle ", Hazel listed grinning at her mom.
" Aunt it was all her ideas not mine", Gema said while running away from the duo. She didn't want to be scolded for something she didn't do ,cause her annoying little cousin exhausted her enough with their activities that she was left with no strength nor energy.
" Hey ! Where are you going to? Am not done with my questions so you better bring your ass here right now", Melissa scolded.
" Shit am bursted", Gema cursed silently.
" Mom dad gave me his permission to do Whatever I wanted with this card , so why the long face? It's not like the famous Markwills will go bankrupt or broke due to some little billions spent today, so Chill mom. You have to relax and stop stressing your brain on me. Besides ,my husband's money belongs to me too so I have the right to squander it as I like ", Hazel said as a matter of fact.
" Oh so you have finally accepted your fate right? Hazy you can't spend money any how just for pleasure or fantasy. You would understand better when you start earning your own income " Melisa scolded.
" Hahaha mom that's the funniest joke ever. Am an heiress so I don't need to work to earn a living. I have dad, you and my future spouse. Besides my groom to be has enough money for our future generations to enjoy," Hazel said pissed off by her mom's attitude.
"Alright mom am going to take a shower and relax, you wouldn't want my future in-laws to see your daughter depressed right?" Hazel said grinning evilly.
" This kid would be the death of me," Melissa sighed . It was pointless trying to talk some sense into Hazel's brain, cause it was just like talking to a wall.
"Aunt can I go now? I kind of need some rest too, inorder to have some strength to entertain our guest" Gema murmured wearily.
~AT THE MARKWILL'S MANOR
" Hey wait for me ..." Ana yelled . Her family members were so much in a haste that it felt more of a business meeting than a dinner. She quickly rushed to her brother's Rolls-Royce phantom and hopped in .
Alex drove his Mercedes-Benz while his Grand-parents went with their luxurious van. Aaron and his wife drove their Audi. They all gave off the Royalty vibe, screaming Money, Power and Authority. They made the laws and could break the laws, that's just how rich these people were.
----
" It's already 7 pm , why aren't they here yet? The meals are going to get cold soon . I wouldn't want to lose face infront of the Markwills. They would certainly mock us for our incompetency ", Melissa said worriedly. Their delay was making her nervous to the point where her mind was in shambles.
" Quit being paranoid mom, they will come. Besides, it's not like they are Royalty or whatsoever. We are rich like them so you shouldn't be shaking like a leaf because of the Markwills visit to our home. I bet the poor would die of heart attack if that family was to visit them." Hazel said laughing at her mom's funny reactions . Her mom was never the nervous type so it was really a sight to behold.
" You need to learn to take things seriously. You are about to get married to the heir of a great Family yet you still behave like a dumb teenager," Maxwell scolded .
" It's not my fault though, you guys are taking this wedding way too serious. Furthermore, Alexander Markwill hasn't even given his consent about this whole wedding bullshit but here you are telling me how to behave" ,Hazel retorted.
The Atmosphere was already getting tense when their guest finally showed up which was a relief to Gema and a dilemma to Melissa.
She was so scared that their preparations weren't good enough for the Billionaires and the dishes. She quickly rose to her feet to welcome them along with her husband and kids.
Hazel was so annoyed with their presence but had to go along with the flow . " This is going to be a fuckin long night ", She cursed exasperatingly. she hated formal events , talkless of dinners and blind dates.
"You better put a smile on that face of yours or else you would wake up tomorrow with no credit card nor cash for your up keep," Maxwell Threatened.
"Am trying to do my best here ", Hazel replied glaring at her dad for such a sly move. He really knew where to attack best. Hazel would really die if she was deprived of money. Her life revolved around that ,hence she was ready to do anything just so that her money would always be by her side.
