Dinner from Hell (7)

The car arrived at the compound of the Manor, Helena gazed throughout the yard and notices few added security cameras and few other personnel stood watching as cars coming and leaving. Smoothening her dress, she saw Daniel from the corner of her eyes and thought to herself of how ironic this moment is. The more she tried running away from him, the more they both entangled with each other. She knew all of this facade will come to an end tonight, Finley and his son are still being detained by them and as much as she hated Finley, Jr. Is someone Helena treated like a younger brother.

"Only family?" her eyebrow raised as she saw Miranda Teo saunter towards the main entrance.

"I was not informed" his jaw tighten when he sees his grandparents leisurely inviting anyone despite he instructed them to notify him of anyone coming in or out of the Manor.

"It doesnt matter, it is your future wife anyway" hiding her jealousy.

"Jealous love?" he smirked, looking at her with a gleam eyes.

"Not in a million years" She opened the door leaving him chuckling in the car before Armano had the chance to open the door.

Armano felt unesiness crept in him upon seeing Daniel with Helena, he can sees his boss has fall deeply into the abyss of no return. He admitted she is an absolute beauty, nonetheless she is the enemy and Daniel appears to stroll right into the lure.

He held his tongue from uttering it out, its only so much he can says before Daniel deemed him disrespectful. He knew Daniel is smart and determine to trust him.

Daniel caught up to Helena's side and intertwined their hand, her eyes fell over to their hands and yank it from his clasps.

"You are nuts, everyone will sees it" shaking her head hiding her thumping heart. He is a bad news for her. She needed to be lilith and pray he will keep his distance once he found out how cruel she can be.

Man loves a sweet gentle woman, she knows she is not it. Therefore she yanked her hand harder and death stare straight to his face.

"I dont need anyone validations loves, if you are not aware of that, now you do" his smiled laced with arrogance, and he is correct, Daniel Seth Anderson do not seek validations or perceptions from other people.

"If i like something, no one is allowed to covet it, i want you and i will have you, not even yourself can saves you". He closed the distance between them, his hand placed on her lower back while his lips whispering his obsessions to her.

She dodged him right after he uttered those words to her. Facing him, her eyes glazed knowing fate has once again screwed her.

"You will have me when i allow you to have me" subconsciously, her hand feeling the dress she wore since she usually conceal a knife between her thighs. Realizing she didnt bring any weapon her eyes remain darted towards Daniel.

"Touch me again without my consent, i will cut your hands"

"Good girl, thats more like it" he flashed her a smile that can shook every woman before leaving her standing in the middle of the foyer confused with his unbothered reaction.

'Is he a masochist? , wow he really is' she clicked her tongue annoyed by his weird reaction.

Feeling watched, she veered around and glanced on Armano stood watching her unmoved. His eye filled with hostility and loathing. She broke their stares and walked away following the sounds of chattering in the hall.

As soon as she walked into the main hall, all eyes trained on her watching her with an interesting gazes. Miranda faked smile falter as soon as she saw Helena standing there with regal and nodded her head to everyone present.

The dinner party was attended by the Teo's, and the Vaughn, Miranda parents and Alice's parents are there as well, each having an agenda of their own. The Vaughn do not mind who Alice married between the two brothers, regardless of how close Aaron is with the brothers, they believe the relationship between the family can only be streghten through marriages. Having their grandchildren last name as Anderson is enough to secure their lineage.

Meanwhile the Teo's thought of the same thing as the Vaughn and only through marriages that they felt their foothold in the country will be stable.

Molly on the other hand, was sitting at the corner looking clueless and unbothered of the drama brewing in both the Vaughn and Teo's mind. All she can think about of how she started to lose herself completely since she is in a relationship with Cade. Her mind drifted of how simple her life was before.

As of now she felt the intensity of walking on the eggshells, every of her movement is scrutinized, and watched. It is draining her mentally.

"Have you grow a pair yet?" Helena's voice startling her thoughts.

She looked up to meet her eyes watching her and in return she smiled weakly knowing she has not grow a spine especially of what had happened earlier today.

Noticing the sullen in her face, Helena sit next to Molly and crossing her legs, exposing her long smooth skin while her eyes rolled when she saw Daniel intense glare at her.

"Have you figured out how dysfunctional all of them are?" She tilted her head towards Molly while keeping her eyes locked on Daniel.

Soft chuckles escaping Molly's lips as soon as she heard Helena remarks. That was the same thought she had just earlier.

"Yes" retaining the smile on her lips. Her eyes then followed Helena gazes which landed on Daniel that has not once moved his eyes on her.

"He likes you, didnt he?" Molly asked Helena than broke away the staring to look at her.

"He doesnt" her mind goes back to the time of when Daniel accusations of her, being honest has led her to this life again and perhaps one day she will broke down like the demon sisters mention.

"Why is your face slightly bigger than the other" Helena can see through the layer of the foundation Molly has applied.

"It was nothing"

"Does Cade hit you??"

"Noo nooo..." Molly was frightened and her subconsciously trailing towards Miranda that is currently making her way to Daniel and Aaron. Behind her is Alice who also walked in hurry to reach him before Miranda did.

"Miranda Teo?"

"Its my fault, she wanted the dress, and i... Just forget it, if Daniel and her will be married, she will be part of their family"

"Molly.. Dont lose yourself for a man, sometimes the love is not worth your own value" she patted her shoulder while thinking of how to get even.
