Chapter 38

-Aaron’s POV:

That Friday morning, Aaron and Rabena enjoyed a quiet breakfast in their suite while the rest of the family ate in the hotel restaurant. The ball was set to begin at 4pm and they both knew the day would be hectic, so they used this rare opportunity to enjoy some alone time. While eating her bacon, Rabena began to giggle.

“Something funny my future wife?”

Aaron gave a mischievous smirk at Rabena.

“I was just thinking, if a charity ball and engagement party was this hectic, imagine what our wedding weekend is going to be like.”

Aaron began to laugh along with Rabena, it was true, their wedding was definitely going to be a weekend to remember. He would have to make sure there would be a way for him and his bride to`sneak off.

After breakfast, Aaron went to ballroom of the hotel and began to prepare for the ball. Rabena informed

him she would be to help once her dress arrived.-

-Thomas‘ POV:

It was the morning of the Charity Ball and Thomas was at his grandmother’s estate. He’d failed to locate Rabena, and panic began to seep into his mind. He paced back in forth in the kitchen as he tried his best to think of a good illness to give his imaginary wife. Just then, Tyler walked in.

“So, where’s Rabena? I haven’t seen her in a while, is she okay?”

Thomas decided to test his lie out on his cousin regarding Rabena’s illness.

“Actually, she hasn’t been feeling too well, it looks like she may have a severe case of the flu, I think I’m going to

let her stay home.”

Thomas stared nervously at his cousin trying to determine if his story worked. Tyler raised an eyebrow, he knew Thomas was lying, still, he smiled and nodded leaving no signs he was aware,

“Oh no, I hope she feels better. Maybe I’ll come and see her in a few days.”

Thomas let out a sigh of relief, it looked like his lie was working. He decided to head to the Crest mansion to make sure everyone was on the page.

Arriving shortly after 11am, Thomas waited in the grand room for the Crests all to arrive, he’d decided not to tell them about his run–in with Damon. The first to arrive was Danielle, she hadn’t spoken to Thomas since the day of the proposal and was worried about where their relationship stood.

“Hello Tommy.”

“What do you want me to say Dant, I’m still upset.

“I know! I’m sorry Tommy! I didn’t mean for all of this to happen!”

“Because I was afraid!!”

Danielle cut Thomas off as he continued to question her, oyes Howing with tears, sobs getting louder.

“I was afraid that if you learned the truth it would be over for us! Don’t you understand how much I love yout”

Thomas began to rub his temples; he didn’t understand Danielle’s fear. He’d loved her even before all of this, there was no need to le.
