Yours, Never Again

Victor’s pov

“I have put those people in their places. These people planned to frame me with my business partner, that Italian man Giovanni. They offered him ten percent shares of the whole group.” I said to my mom.

I was with her at the venue where the party was going to hold. I left Eloise in the room with the girls so I could update my mom on business.

“I didn’t know they were capable of doing that. What was their motive for doing that?”

“They want to vote me out using that excuse, I don’t understand why they are allowed to vote in who they want.”

“Those desperate old geezers, I am sure you did a good job despite their little prank.”

“I got the ten percent of the shares from Giovanni and he was willing to handle the project himself. He wasn’t aware that I was married, I heard the man respected marriage union.”

“Look who is talking about business at a party.” She smirked. “Your wife did a great job setting this up.”

“I know right.”

“You guys are working on having a baby right?”

“Mom, we should welcome the guests, it seems like our hostess is going to be late.” I and my mom went to welcome the guests. The men were dressed in black and the ladies wore white.

I like this theme. I think Eloise planned our dress codes too, I was wearing a blue tuxedo and my brothers were wearing the same. My mom was wearing a red dress, Victoria too was wearing one and the gown they brought in for her was red.

The keys came in, Rose linked her hand with her husband’s own. This was the first time I was meeting them as my in-laws. I took my mom to them and I escorted them to the table that had Harts & Keys written on it.

“Good evening, I am glad you guys could make it here,” I said to The Keys while I was walking them to the table.

“We should be here, we are now family after all,” Rose said.

“Meet my mom Rose, Mom this is Rose, Eloise’s mom.” I introduced Rose to my mom.

Mr. Keys coughed. “I never imagined that we would be in-laws, Kate.”

“I see Old man.” My mom replied to him nonchalantly. Mr keys and my mom were not friends in business and they maintained that outside business. Mr. Keys was an ambitious man that didn’t want to sell his company off and my mom wanted to get it.

“My wife doesn’t think I am an Old man, do you Rose?” He asked his wife.

“I am sorry to break this to you, I think you are an Old man.” She disappointed him and my mom chuckled.

“I think we are best friends now.” My mom said to Kate, then Kate removed her hand from her husband’s hand and she went to my mom’s side. Old people are so childish.

Mr. Keys faked being broken-hearted but his wife ignored him, chattering with her new best friend. I introduced them to my brothers and Mr. Keys soon got carried with playing with Cecilia’s boys.

Eloise came in, the red dress looked like she was born. I am trying to think of an adjective to qualify how she looked, the makeup she wore, and her hair. This is perfection. She looks so perfect, I glanced at her legs, she was putting on black heels.

I walked up to her but her other best friend seemed to be faster than I am, he gave her a hug and whispered something into her ears and she smiled. That man is engaged why is he making my wife laugh?

Calm your balls, Victor, they are just best friends, don’t let Eloise use this to mock you. Don’t act up around them. I took Eloise’s hand and I greeted him casually.

Eloise and I went to welcome the guest and the others went to the table. The party soon started, Auntie Steph and David were not there. Something is up for sure, I still talked to him last night, what’s going on?

I tried to reach him but there was no avail, I could see my mom was getting worried but the party was going well, Eloise was handling things well, I calmed my mom down and I gave my speech then I left the party to check on David and Auntie Steph.

Eloise’s pov

All my life I have never imagined myself being a hostess at an important party like this, the perks of having a billionaire. I knew I did a good job impressing Kate because I was also impressed with myself.

My mind wandered to the day I planned the theme of the party, A blush creeped out on my face when I remembered the intimate moment we shared.

“Why are you blushing?” Tory asked me. She was standing beside me.

“I wasn’t a blushing woman, tsk tsk.” I denied the fact that I wasn’t blushing.

“Ah, where is your husband going?” Tory ask me.

I saw my husband rush out of the party, I didn’t know what was up but my mother-in-law seemed like she was startled too.

“I don’t know, we should wrap things up here, it is getting late,” I said to Tory and she nodded in approval.

Since I had no plans for the guests to stay over, the party ended earlier than usual.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

My parents left early because my dad had tequila, he and Kate got into some childish bet. I have never seen this side of my mother-in-law. Now I am wondering why my husband can’t drink, all his siblings could handle alcohol well even his mom.

My dad is just like me, the man can’t handle tequila. I should have I am just like my dad, silly me. When the guest left, everyone went inside. I was so hungry but I was tired so I just slumped on my bed and slept off.
