Chapter 107 Engagement Party 35

  I left the house later in the day, I needed to see Carie since she's been ignoring my call. I got to the Wilson's family house, I couldn't believe I went there, this mansion held lots of bad memories. "Welcome madam Wilson!" Leonard and his maids stood out to welcome me in.

"Thank you Leonard!" I said with a smile. I got into the mansion, everyone seemed busy, there were more than 500 maids walking in and out of a door. "Hazel!" Mother called from behind. "Mother!" I exclaimed and hugged her.

"You look so beautiful, how was your trip my love!" She said holding my hands. "It was wonderful, I had the best time!" "How are you mother?, you look more beautiful than ever!" I complimented and she smiled. "Stop!".

"Uhm.. mother have you seen Carie, I've tried calling her but she's not picking up!" "She hasn't returned home since she left with Lukas last night!" Mother said. I should have known, she spent the night at Lukas's house, were else would she be. We were supposed to go out together today, maybe I'll go myself. I thought.

"Mother!" I heard a familiar voice from behind, it was non other than Avery, but surprisingly, her best friend Berverly was right beside her. "It's so wierd for golddiggers to still have pale skin even on the day of their fake engagement party!" Avery said to have me smile.

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in her head. "Good morning Avery, miss Bolowe!" I greeted them with a sweet smile. I could see the frown on Berverly's face, "Hazel, Berverly's father sent her away due to some family conflict so she has to stay here for some time!" Mother explained and I nodded.

"Welcome to the family Miss Balowe!" Mother's insult on her was enough, there's no need of adding mine. "Do you have to explain to this stranger, why a family member is at our own house. I'm tired of your constant disrespect towards Berverly mum!" Avery said furiosly.

"Avery dear, Hazel is no stranger, she's your brother's wife. You need to get used to this!" Mother said. "Mum!" "That's enough Avery mother's right. I actually wanted to stay in Alex's house when my Dad sent me out, but the guards wouldn't let me in. I guess I'll make the suggestion to Alex when he gets back since mother doesn't want me here anymore!" Berverly sounded pitiful. "Excuse me!" Mother said and walked away.

I frowned, I knew what she meant. It would be a disaster if she stays with I and Alex. I couldn't even imagine that, and Alex's answer was already clear when she said she would ask him. "You are well to do, you have all the money in the world to get yourself an apartment!" I protested.

Berverly folded her hands on her chest glaring at me, "I thought you are the contracted wife and I'm the real wife here?" She asked. "It seems our little naive Hazel is jealous, you don't know what awaits you do you?" Avery asked.

I didn't understand Avery's words, and my mental health would be at stake if I continue to stay close to this two. Besides today is my party and I have to get ready. I got a call immediately, it was from Alex. I smiled, "Hello!" 

"Where are you Hazel?" He said coldly, why was he suddenly cold? "At your parents house!" I walked away, leaving the two people looking for scapegoat for their childish acts.

"Are you back?" "Yes, I'll call you, I'm driving!" He said and hunged up. I didn't think Alex would come back for his party, even if I begged a thousand times. what really brought about the change of heart?

I walked into his room and sat on the couch waiting for him to arrive, few minutes later, the door clicked open and someone walked in. I met his gaze as he stroded towards me. "Give me a hug!" Alex said, I got up and hugged him. Alex rubbed my hair tenderly, "Alex, what do you want from me? I have lots of things to do today and limited time!" I said.

Alex let me go and stared at me, "what do you have to do today?" He asked perking my lips. "My nails, I need to change them, I need to get my hair done and I need a massage!" I said. "Get changed let's get them done!"
