Chapter 12 The lady in Red 3

Nicholas walked in as everyone acknowledged him. All heads were faced down as he walked in. He intimidated them all with his eyes. They were dark and fearful. Everyone paused on seeing the proud man. He stood at the entrance of the large hall and observed every terrified face. He had no expressions at all. His eyes beheld the woman that walked towards him, still with no expression on his face. Meredith's heart thudded.

'he is totally different ' she thought, but she still recognizes him

She took slow strides toward him and stood right in front of him with Roger slightly behind her.

Pride meeting Ego, they stared at each other like complete strangers. He had never wanted to see the face standing right in front of him, he had come for something else, someone else. He cut the stare, taking his eyes off her, he walked past her. He looked around, standing right at the center of the hall, being the center of attention. He was already the attention of the guests from the moment he walked in. Bennett and three other bodyguards were directly behind him.

Meredith tried to cover up the humiliation as she walked to the center of the hall where he stood and introduced him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my son, the heir of the Ross's Empire, Nicholas Alviero Ross". She spoke with a raised chin as she stood with pride. Nicholas on the other hand, stood with pride as Applause filled the air The dark man was appreciated and highly praised.

He still had no expression. He wasn't there for them, his eyes surveyed each angle of the large room. He. hadn't moved his head one bit, but his eyes had moved. He searched for her but she wasn't there.

Where is she?

His eyes roamed around the room, curious, uneasy, restless, but emotionless. Meredith took a glass as she raised a toast and everyone raised their glasses.

"To my most priceless possession, my treasure, and my prince, a new beginning ". she spoke with a fierce voice.

"A new beginning ". Everyone chorused.

In the same minute,

She walked in. She was there. She had arrived immediately after the toast. She walked with pride as all eyes strolled to the lady in red. She was the moment's carrier. Her white skin glowed under the red dress, giving her a seductive aura. Her exposed back, thigh, and Brest disectile gave every male a slight cock-tease.

At that moment, his searching eyes stopped. He saw her. She was there in flesh and blood, not in pictures or magazines but the same room as him. She stunned him, she caught his attention, and she drove him insane. He was desperate, so desperate than he had ever been in his life as curiosity turned into madness. She stirred up flames in his abdomen. He did not divert his gaze one bit. His eyes trapped her, devouring every inch of her skin as it sucked from the color of her skin to her long sexy legs, up to her thighs and her curves.

His eyes skimmed upwards to her face as desire stroked like lightning. she trapped him. Her eyes went to him as he watched every single step she took, closing the distance between them. Eyes meet eyes. She stood in front of him. His flame lighter was directly in front of him. She excited him, she turned him on with her pride.
