CHAPTER 4

　　I'm still looking at my big mirror where I see myself with fake happiness. I don't know but I feel sad when I think about the things that brought me to why I am here in this house.

　　If it is not because of my sister, I wish I could freely adventure anywhere. But no, the situation is different now. I don't blame my sister. It's just depressing because your loved ones are gone at the same time.

　　My mother was in the province. Dad? Gone. He died for reasons we don't know. His death was sudden and my brother's drug addiction. But I don't know where my brother is now. He escaped and still wanted, there are colleagues who help him. Mom is at home and I didn't let her come here because she might get attacked and I don't want that to happen. She has been through enough and suffered enough.

　　So, it's my turn. I will find a way to save them both. Even if it means a lot of challenges will come. But I will try to survive for them.

　　I looked in the mirror again. I'm wearing a pink dress with soft silk at the top with a silver design. Above the knee and fits my fair skin. A turtle neck with a button on the back for a lock. There is a black ribbon design in the middle. It is also sleeveless and has a black pair of heels. My hair is in a bun but I left a little curl on the side on the side of my ear. Lip gloss and applied light makeup. Perfect.

　　Wow! Did I really do this to myself? I can't believe it!

　　I said to myself. I somehow look elegant and sophisticated. It's my poison that others can't see it. I sighed and took the signature sling bag that I ordered a while ago. Of course, Tyron pays for it. He just forces me to choose, so yeah, I used it too.

　　I got down and left the villa. He said Liam would pick me up. I don't know if Zeke will come too. After a few minutes of waiting, Liam also arrived.

　　I found him shocked while staring at me. He looked at me from head to toe before slowly approaching me. Crazy, what happened to him?

　　' Hey, Liam? You looked so shocked. Why? Is there something wrong with my outfit--'

　　'No-N-no. Actually, you are really stunning Scarlet. No wonder why Tyron doesn’t want to expose you in public because he can fight a lot just by looking at you ’

　　I laughed at what he said. Are they really flatterers of the same race or are they really just twins?

　　Liam took my hand and kissed it. He was really this gentle and a good friend too.

　　'Well thank you, Liam.  I'll take that as a compliment. You look good too. So, for now, let's go?'

　　He smiled and nodded. He supported me until I got on and then he drove the car.

　　Minutes passed and we arrived at the Dark Hill Hotel and Restaurant. There's still a red carpet. You can see people being photographed and interviewed by the press.

　　I can't help but shrink. They are very showy. While me? I felt Liam's hand hold mine. I looked at him with surprise.

　　'Hey, Scarlet. Chin-up. You're stunning and you also belong in this world because you're the wife of their Boss'

　　'I can't help but feel nervous. I am with you exposing not just a normal hang-out like it's just us but now, in public' 

　　He just winks and got out of the car. When he came out, he was immediately surrounded by the press and the cameras flashed. What do you expect? Friends of Tyron are also part and well-known in this industry.

　　They all have something to say and I feel that I don't really belong in this place, only Tyron. Just Tyrone.

　　Liam turned around and stopped by my side. He opened the door for me and the flashes of cameras are really really strong for my eyes. I'm not used to this kind of attention.

　　'Please let us walk with peace '

　　Said Liam. We started walking and Liam grabbed my waist causing me to be a little surprised. I'm not used to anyone holding me like that except Tyron. I tried to smile even though there were press and people keep asking me if I was his date and what my relationship with him was.

　　I ignored them. The press didn't follow us as soon as we entered. I was able to breathe. Thank you. Liam and I looked at each other and both laughed. That was a load off, for me. It's good to be able to avoid it.

　　We saw Zeke and just like Liam's reaction, he was also surprised and told me ‘Beautiful' like really?

　　We looked at the entrance when the lights got dim and the spotlight focused on the entrance.

　　Let's all welcome, Mr. Zaires and Miss Gretzel Ford. Around of applause, please.

　　Said the speaker. Everyone clapped and seemed to be in slow motion. There I saw him with a beautiful girl beside him. She's a very beautiful woman and her body really blows.

　　They look perfect in every way. It's like a match made in heaven. I clapped as I watched them walk the red carpet. Some also approached them and shook hands. They are really respected; I mean everyone here except me does not have a title in this place.

　　I didn't notice that Tyron was looking at me. He simply looked at me and carefully studied my outfit. I was confused. Am I the only one paying attention? Why does Tyron look angry with me after looking at me?

　　Or maybe that's just my imagination. He looked at me again after talking to a man. This time he is seriously looking at me as if he doesn't want to see me or something. Aish that Tyrone!
