"Mr Stones I will like you to meet Ella, a very good friend of mine" Elsa said
"Nice to meet you, I must confess you are very beautiful" he said as he pegged the back of my hand.
I felt disgusted I wanted nothing but to kill him at that moment but I had to stay calm. At least he did not recognize me.
"Nice to meet you too" I said with a faked smile
"So I heard a lot about you can you tell me more" he said as Elsa left us to greet more people.
"Am sure what you heard about me are not interesting at all" I said staring at him, it been 10yrs but nothing changed about him at all.
"Let's find out together,which family are you from" he asked I wanted to tell him to fuck off but I have to stay calm.
"I don't talk about my family with anyone, now if you will excuse me" I said as I turned to leave
"That was very rude of you taking to me like that you know" he said with a harsh voice, I knew what I said hurt his pride but who cares
"Oh was I rude?" I asked facing him to know his answer but then I saw Ken approaching me with the drinks
"Now if you would excuse me, again " I said before leaving .
"Hey what happened, did I just see you talking to Mr Stones" Ken asked but I just ignored him and took the drink he offered me. I wanted to just get drunk so when I noticed the wine he offered me was alcoholic I drank both mine and his.
"Bella if you keep that up you are going to get drunk and remember our job is at stake" Ken said trying to talk sense into me .
"I need a minute to myself" I said before heading outside. Immediately I opened the back door that leads to the balcony I felt the wind on my skin, this feels good I thought to myself as I let the fresh air cool me down. Then I saw a garden with beautiful flowers I decided to go down for a little bit but its seems luck was not on my side, ufortunately for me my mom was there , I wanted to turn and go back inside but she has seen me already.
"You are the lady I met at the mall with Mr Michael's wife right?" she asked but I only answered her with a nod.
"Hmm, I have been meaning to ask you, how come a lady as beautiful as you is working for a man as dangerous as Mr Michael" she asked again.
"You know in life everybody have what they love doing so am guessing this is mine" I replied her but I knew I was lying
"If I have a daughter I wouldn't want her to risk her life protecting others, I mean any parent wouldn't stand to see their child hurting" she said
"How will I know am not a parent" I replied
"Well you will get to know that in the future, the worst feeling ever is failing as a parent, I heard the pain is close to dealth" she said with a sad smile on her face but that did not move me at all, she is talking about not failing when she already failed.
"I have to go back inside they might be looking for me " I said as I turned to leave but she said
"How about your parent, are they not worried about you" she asked then I turned to reply her that was when I noticed the wine bottle she was holding, wait she is getting herself drunk.
"Who cares am not in good terms with them so they don't have a say in my life" I replied her
"I better go back inside or my absent will be noticed" I told her and went back inside
She came back looking more angry than she was before.
"Bella you still don't look good you know"
"I just want this party to end so I can get out of here" she said with a frustrated sigh.
"Mrs Michael said we will be leaving soon" I informed her.
"That will be really nice, by the way where is Lisa and Mark?" she asked
"There they are" I said as Lisa and Mark joined us.
"Sis is time to go" she said staring at something behind me. I turned to know what really caught her attention, it was Mr Stones.
"Excuse me miss Ella I will be looking forward to seeing you again" he said to Bella with a smile
"Oh well am not looking forward to seeing you again" Bella said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
"Do we know each other in the past because you sound like you really dislike me a lot" he said still keeping his smiling face
"Well not that I know, but why should I dislike you when we just met today " Bella said with a cool face
"Hmmmmm I will love to see you again" he said and left
"Don't worry we have plenty of time to meet in the future" Bella said more to herself than to any other person.
"Sis please be calm okay" Lisa said trying to calm Bella down.
"Guys let's go, Mrs Michael just called that she is waiting for us outside" Mark told us as we all Head out . We met Mrs Michael surrounded by many reporters and order people.
I saw Bella pushing through the clouds to help Mrs Michael out because many people were dragging her including the reporters. Then something happened a man followed Bella and Mrs Michael with what seems like a tennis bat. He wanted to hit Mrs Michael but I alerted Bella who surprised me by blocking Mrs Michael's body with hers then she got hit instead.
I rushed over to Bella who was still hugging Mrs Michael in case if the guy is coming for a second hit but Lisa and Mark were fast enough to hold the man down.
"Are you okay, where did you got hit? I asked her but she totally ignored me and asked Mrs Michael who was looking like she saw a ghost if she was alright but her reply was not what I was expecting
"Ella you are bleeding, why did you have to block the hit with your body" she said in a very shaking voice.
Immediately I heard that I turned Bella around to face me since she had her back on me, there was blood,lots of blood gushing out of her head, she wanted to say something then she passed out.
I caught her before her body could hit the ground.
"Sis!!!!!!!!" Lisa rushed to us but she was really losing a lot of blood.
"Someone call 911" Lisa screamed to the reporters who were busy videoing everything.
"Pls call 911 we need to save my sis" Lisa said in tears.
"Lisa listen to me we need to stop the bleeding while we wait for 911 okay so I need you to focus, find anything like a clothes and stop the bleeding" I said trying to calm Lisa down
"Here use this" Mrs Michael said offering Lisa her unused face trowel.
"Mark can you take care of him" I asked Mark who was angrily beating the man up
"He is a piece of cake, how is Bella holding up?" He asked
"She is losing a lot of blood, I need to see the weapon he used"
"Is over there" Mark said point at the weapon.
Its looked exactly like tennis bat but it was made of iron throughout. Oh no this means Bella's wound is not minor at all.
