Chapter 26

16: Party

<<Selena>>>

When I go to my hotel room, I sink into the bed and sleep for hours. I cover my face so Lena cannot notice the silent tears.

I feel bad that Dad was sick, and I wasn’t around. But I feel worse that once again I am expected to fulfill a daughter’s duty. I am supposed to forget the heartbreak and betrayal and accept Caleb’s apology.

Barely three words came out of his mouth. Still, I am supposed to forgive him and patch up with my sister. To present the united front in for the fuckin media.

Maybe I shouldn’t… but I cannot help the pang of resentment in my heart.

But I will do it. I will attend the party. Just tonight, and this will be over. I console myself.

You okay, sweetie?” Lena asks me.

Yea.. I need to attend a party tonight,” I get up and say.

‘Caleb and Nikkie will be there too…” I admit, with my shoulders slump.

She frowns.

What! Why?”

sigh and explain everything to her.

Oh Girl! It’s not fair…” she takes a pause and says, “But you know what! It’s a chance to show that sorry ass Caleb that what he is nissing. That asshole!”

smile. Lena looks cute when she swears.

Do you have a dress?”

h Fuck!

Nooo…” I groan and admit, “Dress wasn’t even on my mind!”

I guess it’s time to shop.” she wiggles her eyebrows and I laugh.

glance at the clock and say, “We barely have 4 hours to the party. How will we even manage it?”

With a good friend around, anything is possible. Lena helps me choose a wonderful Skin color partially See through lace Dress.

This is perfect!” she says, and I bite my lips.

‘Isn’t it too much?” Only the top has a thick material so it wouldn’t be indecent wear, but the skin will show off my legs and my ass real good.

Nope! It’s perfect to make a dramatic entrance… then she spanks my bum and adds, “and exit!”

squeak, then laugh.

It does look good though,” I say, glancing at the sheer open back in the mirror. It’s hugging my whole body perfectly.

The party is at the ballroom of Maybourne Beverly Hills Hotel. As I enter the ballroom. I hear Joy and Caleb’s mom, Mary, making a past. She looks happy. I hope she is thriving on my fucking kidney. I wish I could take it back.

shake my head at the absurdity of my own thoughts.

uck. Great start. I wonder when I will stop feeling bitter towards everyone. I know they wronged me. But what’s the point of feeling

itter like this? I take a deep breath and walk towards them. Old Selena would have avoided them and would have hid in a corner,

ut this is new me.

will face it. No matter how hard it is.

ignore the fact that heads are turning towards me.

on’t be nervous. Don’t be nervous.

h Lena! This dress is grabbing too much attention!

lary’s eyes fall on me, and she takes me in with a shock on her expression. I am unable to figure out if she is shocked by my dress or

hocked to see that I am here.

Hi Mary… Congratulations on your Son’s wedding announcement,” I smile and greet her as if the words out of my mouth didn’t cut

1y own skin.

throw a glance at Joy. She takes in my dress and looks furious.

Food. It’s working. You wanted me here.

Tow take it, bitch.

Hello Mother,” I sneer at her.

Mary surprises me by giving me a hug, “Thanks honey…” Then she whispers in my ear. “Bold dress. I like this avatar of yours.”

My eyes widen,

Uhmmm Thanks,” I smile and say. I thought she would hate me for grabbing attention away from Nikkie.

I missed you Selena…” she says with an indecipherable expression on her face.

frown. Maybe…

But I guess not enough to look for me.

I take a leave from Joy and Mary to look around. It’s a good networking opportunity. If I plan to use the funds sitting in my bank, I need to make connections. I can see many investors from Kroc Food around. It’s the Johnshon family’s side business. It has soared real good in the past year and their shares are highly sought.

My Hospital

Chapter 26

I am not much interested in the food industry, but money is money. So I talk to some of the guests, anyway. Sometimes I wish I had someone to guide me. I still feel hesitant about investing my money. So far I have invested it very carefully and results are so far so

good.

While I am talking to one of the ex partners of my family’s company, The Sterling Constructions, Nikkie slips her palm into mine and smiles at the ex partner and says, “I will borrow my sister from you…”

He laughs and says, “Sure!”

It’s hilarious. I am sure every single person talking to me today knows about the Sterling Family’s mess. They know how Caleb and

Nikki betrayed me and how I snarled at that reporter exposing them.

I wonder if they find it funny. If they see through Nikkie and Joy’s facade.

Nikkie drags me to one of the corners behind a huge curtain of hallway. Then she hisses at me, “Why are you dressed like a whore?”

I glance at my legs and say, “Am I?”

Then shrug. “Dad, Didn’t say anything.”

To be honest, Dad never outed Nikkie for wearing the worst kind of dresses. This one is at least decent and is not showing my nipples. Just my ass and curves.

You have to change… You cannot be here in this slutty dress,” she orders.

I roll my eyes hard enough to see the back of my head.

Stop irritating me Nikkie… Or I will show you how a real slut behaves!” I warn her.

She gasps. “Are you threatening that you will sleep with Caleb?”

hmmm, that wasn’t on my mind, but okay.

shrug.

see a flash of anger in her eyes and her hand raises to hit me. I stumble back to avoid her slap and lose my balance. But someone aves me from the fall. I blink one then twice to see who is holding me,

Caleb?

get up and move away from him.

de looks flabbergasted.

Th Thanks,” I mumble

Tuck, this is a bad spot. They both can corner me.

Just look at her how she is flaunting her body like a slut,” she snarls again, talking to Caleb.

I roll my eyes and walk away from both of them.

She grabs my arms again and says, “You are not going into the party! Leave and change.”

“Stop it Nikkie!” Caleb says in a firm voice.

Her eyes widen. “Are you taking her side?”

“I have to talk to her. Please leave.”

I frown. What does he want to talk about? Nikkie hesitantly leaves the two of us alone. I look at him and raise my brow.

“I really couldn’t believe it was you… when I saw you in that news clip that day,” He says in a soft voice.

I don’t have time for this shit.

“What do you want to talk about?”

I want you back.” he says in a confident voice.

What the actual Fuck!

“Why? Doesn’t Nikkie ride you well enough nowadays?”
