Chapter 65 The Event
She could see the anger in his eyes. Mentioning kids must have made him remember how she had deceived and lied to him.
Silvia started crying “I’m sorry, please forgive me. I know you haven’t forgiven me for what I did. I’m sorry I had lied to you Fernando. Can’t you forgive me and allow us to live happily. Can’t you just accept me back. Can’t you just love me again!! You are the only one I have in the world. I will kill myself if I loose you!!” Silvia wept.
Fernando stared at her. He watched her cry and he suddenly felt guilty.
“Im sorry for shouting at you. But let it be the first and last time you mention kids or marriage to me. If not I will announce to the world that you stopped being my fiancee long ago” Fernando threatened.
Silvia stopped crying and glared at him “Fine!!” She said as she stood up to leave but he called her back.
“We have an event to attend this weekend. You will be coming with me as my partner like you always do and make sure not to over do things like you did the last time we went to an event”
Silvia smiled and turned to face him “I will prepare for the event” she said and left excitedly.
She is always excited at every opportunity she has to tell the world that she was still his fiancee. Her friends still envies her for still remaining his fiancée.
She will continue to hold her position in his life while making sure that no other woman comes close to him.
She is sure that one day Fernando will realize how much she truly loves him and then they will get married.
Silvia thought about the smile she saw on his face when he came back. Was he seeing someone? She doubts since for the past six years he has not gotten close to any woman. But if he tries to, she will make sure to get rid of that woman just like she got rid of Ana.
Saturday finally arrived.
At exactly 8pm, guests started arriving for the event.
There were media reporters to cover the news.
The hall was already getting filled up with different business men and women eager to partner with them and those who were invited.
When other business men and women saw Fernando walking into the ball roo. with his fiancee Silvia they immediately approached him.
A lot of people bowed their heads to greet him.
Their mood threatened when they saw that he was present too. He is the king of the business world so for him to be here it means they had made a good decision to partner with E&A tech.
Silvia's head was raised up high as everyone showed her the same respect they showed Fernando.
Other young women envied her for being the woman of Fernando Buenavista which is the dream of any woman.
They went to take their seats at one of the round tables. And right on the round table was Seun Blanco
He greeted Fernando who nodded to his greeting.
They were not business partners but are just cordial individuals.
Fernando looked around to see if he could catch sight of the woman or Emiliano. But it seems the event hosts have not yet arrived.
Isn’t an event host supposed to arrive before everyone else” Silvia said in disappointment.
She could tell the host was not here yet because if he or she was, the event would have started and the person would have come to greet Fernando or introduce themselves as the host.
Fernando heard what she said. He also wonders the same. Why were they not here yet?
Outside the ball room. Ana stood and stared at those inside.
She was putting in a beautiful red gown that hugged her body and showed her beautiful curves. She had red lips and she allowed her long hair to fall down her back, it bounced because of the curls at the tip of the hair.
Ana breathed in and out as she prepared herself to go inside.
After 6 years she will be facing those from the past again. She will be facing Silvia, who is suspected of her father’s death and what happened to the rest of her family.
Emiliano walked to her and held her hand.
Ana jolted out of her thoughts and turned to look at him.
He was dressed in a well tailored black suit and his blond hair was well styled.
“You look so beautiful” he said to Ana who smiled.
“And you, you look so handsome”
Emiliano was flustered when she said that and his heart raised “Really, you think so?” He asked her as he looked into her eyes.
Ana felt like laughing “Of course Emiliano, you are so handsome and I’m sure a lot of women in there will fall for you instantly”
Emiliano felt disappointed but he smiled “I will not be interested in anyone of them”
“Why are you so sure you won’t?” Ana asked with a smile on her face.
“Because they are not my type?” he looked at her intently.
“You have to wait and see first. You might just find a woman that will make your heart skip” Ana said confidently.
They had invited even young business owners that are females and also some business men might have carried their daughters along to the event so she was sure there will be plenty of beautiful women he might choose from.
Although she had never seen him date anyone in the past six years even when a lot of women had a crush on him and even confessed their feelings to him but he rejected them. She took it that it might be that he was too busy with their new company which was why he refused to date anybody because he did not have the time.
But now that they were back and the company was stable. She thinks it’s the best time for him to find a partner.
“I’m very sure I will not be interested. They are not my type”
Ana “I’m confident though” Ana smiled
Emiliano looked at her not saying a word again. Was it that after all these years, she did not realize how much he loved her as a man and not as a brother.
He sighed “It’s time to go in, are you ready”
Ana smiled and nodded “Yes”
Emiliano held her hand and they both walked into the ball room.
“Let’s welcome the founders of E&A tech. Mr Emiliano Rodrigo and Miss Ana Del Rio!!” The master of the ceremony was announced.
Ana and Emiliano stepped down and walked from the entrance to the front of the hall.
Everyone clapped as they walked in.
The whole place froze for Silvia as she was in complete shock when she saw Ana. It felt like she received a heavy blow.
“How is this possible?” she murmured to herself as sweat gathered on her forehead even with the whole place being cold.
Silvia stood up from her seat in shock as she stared at Ana. “This is impossible,” she shakes her head.
“No no no” she said inwardly.
