Rebirth Of The Heiress And The Tycoon's Lover (Alina) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

ALINA’S POV.

“Damn it.” Talia muttered under her breath in annoyance.

“Hi, Evans.” I said with a smile.

Evans wasn’t just good at academics, he was also great at sports, good-looking, and genuinely kind. He was the full package, and he had his fair share of girls flocking around him in college.

“Well, I’ll be damned,” he said, clearly shocked. “You look stunning, Ally.” He complimented me, pulling me into a warm. hug.

“You clean up nice too, Evans,” I told him with a small smile.

“Well, well, well… if it isn’t Taliana.” He teased, turning towards Talia and pulling her into a hug too.

“Still not my name, Evangeline.” She rolled her eyes but returned the hug with a smirk tugging at her lips.

He chuckled.

Evans had this charm about him, an effortless vibe that made it hard not to like him.

“Well, come on inside. The party’s only just beginning.” He said as we followed him in.

Whispers were already floating around, and I knew exactly who they were about, obviously me.

I looked different now, the good kind of different.

In college, I never bothered dressing up or trying to look pretty. I was known as Seraphina’s ghostly-looking sister. But now, I stood out, and seeing some jaws drop in surprise was more satisfying than I’d expected.

The room was cozy, lit with a soft golden hue. A huge circular sofa hugged a large table in the center already stacked with food and drinks.

Talia and I scanned the space for a free seat. There were a few, including one next to Adrian, who had Seraphina seated on his other side.

Everyone watched me, expecting me to walk over and sit with him, like I used to.

As if.

I walked past him without sparing a glance and moved to a space at the far end, settling down with Talia beside me. “The fuck are you all looking at?!” Talia snapped, in a sharp voice filled with irritation as her glare cut through the tension.

She has had enough of their stares.

Everyone quickly averted their eyes, and I couldn’t help the soft laugh that escaped me.

Talia could be incredibly intimidating when she wanted to be.

“You good?” She asked, concern heavy in her tone as she leaned in to study my expression.

my w im going to do. To hell with everything else.”

“Hell yeah.” She cheered quietly, raising her glass.

a sinne. “I’m here to let loose, and that’s

I knew I hated being in the same room with Adrian, Seraphina, and half the people here, but I wasn’t going to let them ruin my night.

I was going to act like they didn’t exist.

Twenty minutes later…

Remember when I said I was going to treat them like they didn’t exist? Yeah…that was easier said than done, because now everyone suddenly wanted to be in my business.

“Did you get plastic surgery done?” A girl, whose name I couldn’t even remember, asked, in a sharp and mocking tone. A few idiots chuckled around her, including Seraphina.

“Not everyone needs to get a BBL done to look pretty or feel confident about their body.” I fired back calmly, taking a sip from my glass while locking eyes with her.

“Burnnnnn.” Talia snickered loudly, clearly enjoying the show, which only made the girl scowl harder.

Evans and some of his friends didn’t even bother hiding their laughter.

“Damn, girl, you’ve been on fire all night.” Talia whispered in my ear, sounding genuinely impressed on how I was handling everything.

“Blame the alcohol.” I told her chuckling softly.

“Wanna leave?” She asked the same question she’d been asking me for the last twenty minutes.

“I’m fine, Talia. I swear,” I said, placing a hand gently over hers. “The moment I feel uncomfortable, I’ll tell you, and we’ll leave.”

“Alright, guys, let’s get things interesting and play a game of Truth or Dare.” Seraphina announced loudly, shooting me a mischievous smile.

People around her cheered in excitement.

Bunch of kids.

I knew what Seraphina was doing, this was her pathetic attempt to embarrass me. She’d been glaring at me from the moment I walked in, clinging to Adrian like someone was trying to steal him away.

Well, at least now she wasn’t hiding the fact that they were an item.

He, on the other hand, hadn’t taken his eyes off me since I arrived. Not that I was looking at him, but it’s hard not to notice when someone’s gaze feels like it’s burning a hole into the side of your head.

I was sure if his eyes were lasers, I’d have a hole in my skull by now.

The game began. Seraphina spun the bottle, and it landed on some random guy. He picked dare.

“I dare you to give us a strip tease for two minutes.” Seraphina said, making everyone erupt into laughter, including me.
