Mistake

Lorena noticed her brother standing at one spot in confusion, "he claims he loves her but he is clueless about making her happy, what a dumb ass brother. Such a disgrace to our family," she harrumphed to herself, making her ways towards them.

"Aurielle can I speak to you for a moment? It won't take long, she smiled at her, leading her to a secluded space."I am sorry about how Lucien is acting but he only means good. He truly has real feelings for you and the girl you saw him with earlier on, was his ex girlfriend. They only dated for 3 days, he ended the relationship because she was basically acting cheap. She looks so similar to you and he couldn't get over the fact that he wouldn't see you anymore so he searched for a replacement to make him forget you. However she was only the opposite, she drank too much, smoked too much and he often saw her with a lot of guys. She isn't anywhere like you, please give him a chance.

"I can't give him a chance, he has been tainted by my cousin and I hate sharing things with her," Aurielle replied, looking quite unhappy.

"No, he hasn't been tainted, he never touched her, all he did was hold her…. Wait what did you just say? She is your cousin? You mean your real cousin? No way, what kind of coincidence, gracious heavens, no wonder you both have the same hair color," Lorena covered her mouth in surprise, unable to digest what she had just heard.

" So you can let your brother know where his boundaries are, he should keep off my lane," Aurielle turned around and left Lorena standing still somewhat in shock.

Realizing what catastrophe her brother was going to face, she dashed to Lucien passing by Aurielle, who was equally surprised by her speed."They are definitely twins," she thought to herself. She didn't understand why she felt this way or why she was even annoyed at him; they had just met yesterday, although he claimed they were old acquaintances. The moment she saw Daeva holding him, it felt like her favorite candy was taken away from her. "He is not your favorite candy, get your head straight, what are you thinking about?"

Lorena ran up to her brother and looked at him with pity; "you are some dead meat, aren't you? Do you know who that little actress is? She is Aurielle's cousin!!!! You freaking dated her cousin and it seems like their relationship is the worst. With that look on her face, she is probably gonna make you suffer. Little brother, I'll pray for you, May the light and peace of our White's family ancestors protect and lead you. You are definitely the king of self-punishment. Good luck," she waved him running towards Alice and Mia who were her new found friends.

Lucien stood on the spot with a frown on his face, he couldn't grasp why life had to be so difficult on him. The biggest mistake he had made in his life was to lose Aurielle seven years ago he believed, but now, he had topped it up. Daeva was a pain, he had met on a summer night at a party. The way she stood there with her back facing him and the gorgeous blond hair flowing down her thin striped backless dress which accentuated her curves. Excitement coursed through his veins at the mere thought of seeing that face. At last I have found you, Rielle," he thought delightedly, "you will no longer escape my clutches. He strode towards the beauty standing before him, grabbed her arms and turned her around without bothering to apologize. But the excitement and joy on his face was quickly eclipsed by disappointment when he saw green eyes, instead of red staring at him in amusement. Regret came over him again as he watched Daeva and wondered how a human could be so much like her. It seemed unreal when he looked at her, her face, he thought to himself, their faces are different. "I'm sorry I was rude, I mistook you for someone else," he apologized sincerely.

Daeva licked her lips, stunned by the perfection she saw before her. Dressed in black trousers and a well-fitting long-sleeved shirt that exposed his cleavage for admiration, Lucien outshone all the male figures at this party. "It's alright, who are you looking for, if you don't mind me asking? Is it your girlfriend?" she asked him with a glint of hope in her eyes.

"No, an old friend of mine, if you'll excuse me, my sister is waiting for me," he replied, ready to take his leave.

"Um, wait a moment please, I'm Daeva, nice to meet you, do you mind if I join you for the evening? I was invited by someone else and she doesn't seem to be here," she lied, pushing the gentleman standing next to her away and folding her arms in Lucien's arms.

"Sure, you can stay with my sister, she needs a companion," he felt a slight discomfort but couldn't bring himself to push her away.
