Chapter 108 Take Your Wine!
Chapter One Hundred And Six
Zach did a double take, not quite hearing what Aria had just said.
“Wh…what the fuck did you just say to me?” He asked in incredulity.
Aria shrugged nonchalantly, “You heard what I said,” she said, still smiling beautifully.
“Nah, I did not.”
“I’m quite sure you did.”
Zach leaned forward to say in her face, “Why the fuck would you say that?!” His eyes were wide with alarm and he was clearly panicking.
“Because that’s what you have to do for the plan to work,” Aria assured him, “I want you to drink your wine.”
“It’s laced with an aphrodisiac!” Zach said through gritted teeth, “You want Lucian to really kill me, don’t you?”
Aria chuckled, “of course you won’t be taking it for real,” she replied, “but in case you haven’t noticed, Selena is hiding right at the entrance and taking peeps at us.”
It took all of Zach’s sheer will not to turn and stare at the door. His curiosity got the better of him, however and he quietly brought out his phone.
Placing the camera in an angle that helped his see directly behind him, he scoffed in disbelief as he finally saw what Aria was saying.
That stupid bitch, Selena, was really outside the door, making a call and peering at them.
“She’s eagerly waiting for a show,” Aria said calmly, “Why don’t we give her one? But we will change the main characters. She’d be starring in her own movie.”
Zach turned off his camera and laid the phone face down on the table before him, “I’m ready whenever you are.”
“Good.” Aria replied, smiling as she pictured what would happen in a few moments from now, “Oh and also, we would need a new actor . It’s best if you get them on set right now.”
Selana watched as Aria and Zach got up from their chairs. They looked and acted clearly drunk, swaying and walking with unsteady steps.
Aria looked like she was looking for a wall to grope as she walked out, but instead she managed to fall right into the arms of Zach, who held her even while unsteady himself.
Selena giggled as she watched them. She brought out her phone and took a few pictures of them together before she started recording.
However, at that moment, it seemed the event did come to an end and all the guests started filing out.
Most of them had enjoyed the event, most especially the dramas in between but some like Nathan, and his minions were pulling a long face as they walked out of the hall.
Selena gasped with delight as soon as she saw this.
“This is splendid!” She cooed, “Everyone will be there to see Aria Beaumont disgrace herself. I swear this is the best day of my life. Vera Hale would be so pleased with me.”
She had been so occupied with her thoughts that she’d not seen where Zach and Aria had gone to.
Alarmed, she hurried along with the crowd and everyone came out of the hotel together, and were busy locating their cars.
Selena quickly searched for Aria’s car and immediately caught sight of it as it was not too far away from her.
She smirked, when she peered into it and saw the silhouette of two bodies entwined.
She knew it was Zach and Aria.
Behind her stood Vera, who had appeared just as the event ended. She had immediately gone to Kurt, although she was still pissed at him for sending her out in favour of Aria.
She was not able to do anything with her dress, unfortunately and just managed to wrap Kurt’s jacket around her securely.
Kurt had given her a once over but decided to save his complaints for later. He would have preferred to just tell her to go home earlier, but he knew Vera was stubborn as hell and he really was not in the mood to deal with her shit now.
His head was filled with one person and one person only, and that was Aria Beaumont.
Where the fuck was she?
After telling him off in the hall earlier, she had continued to ignore him all through the night while she spent her time with that rude bastard called Mr Zach.
He spotted her car just as Selena Beaumont stepped backwards from it and gave Vera a smile.
He frowned and looked back at Vera just in time to see a hint of a smile dissipating from her face.
His frown became deeper.
What the fuck was going on? Why was Vera exchanging smiles with Aria Beaumont’s half sister?
Shit, was she trying to start something again?!
Before he could say anything however, Selena stepped backward from the car and started speaking loudly, “Sister, are you in there?” She called.
Her loud voice obviously drew the attention of the other guests who were still having some last minutes goodbyes. They looked over at Selena curiously and Selena smiled, elated at the attention she’d gotten.
Even the camera crew from the event were still there, hanging around the entrance to the hotel with cold cups of coffee, while they waited for their van to come round.
They also looked at Selena with slight interest as she continued speaking.
“Sister, are you still mad at me? Is that why you’re refusing to tell me good night?” She uttered once more, looking sad and forlorn, “But I already apologized to you. Sister, do not abandon me all because you’re married to the Graves family now.”
The crowd murmured as they moved closer, “Isn’t that Selena Beaumont? And is that Aria Beaumont’s car? Why does she refuse to see her sister?”
“Obviously because of how Selena had acted earlier!”
“But she already apologized. She said so herself.”
“Hmph! Aria Beaumont is too full of herself. Why not just forgive your sister? After all, she’s family.”
Selena smiled as she heard those comments. She placed her cupped palms around her mouth and called out loudly, “Sister, if you don’t come out now, everyone will think you are a royal bitch!” She yelled, “Come out now or else…”
