THREE_PREPARATIONS
AIDEN POV
When they say chaos wrapped in silk, that was what the mansion looked like when I walked in late in the evening.
I just came home back from my evening part time job when I felt it.
I only wanted some peace and silence or maybe....
Just maybe the normal routine of Emily and mother screaming their lungs out at me with some few beatings here and there including being given some hectic works to do......But this....I wasn't expecting at all.
The mansion was decorated into something I couldn't recognize
Maybe hell...
The cold hallway marble floor was now covered with a warm rug, the sitting room was adorned with flowers making it look like a shrine or maybe I'm just exaggerating.
And the other dining table meant for visitors was occupied with varieties of foods.
What....The....Hell
I muttered slowly quickly stopping one of the dozens of maids rushing around.
Hey, hey wait a second, what's happening
I asked
Clearly in a hurry she said; Miss Emily soon to be husband is visiting today.
Not waiting to hear my response, she rushed off.
Alexander is coming.......today
I whispered surprisingly
Oh, you are back
Mother, I said
I'm not your mother bastard, she whispered under her breath not meant for others ears but mine.
And she knew I had heard her judging by the smile on her face and the nervousness on mine...
I'm sure you're aware of what's happening tonight.
No, I lied
Well, Emily....My daughter.....
She emphasized maybe trying to let me know I was a nobody in this house or to her.
....is getting married
To who......you may ask.
I didn't ask, I just stared at her silently
You should know him, ALEXANDER KING COSTELLO
She said proudly while smirking as if she had achieved her whole life dream and maybe she did.
Well.......I don't know him
I said wanting to kill her ego
But in my mind, I thought, who doesn't know the Costello's, the name enough can bring a man down onto his knees.
And he will be coming for dinner tonight to get to know your sister.
She completed the smirk on her face changing into a scowl.
And now you will be doing us a favor, doing Emily a favour.
Do.not.show.your.face
Nobody need to know you exist
You are just a fucking parasite feeding on us
Her words hurt, yes it hurts
But I won't give her the satisfaction of knowing it did
Okay, can I go now
I asked my face blank
Yeah, yeah go
She dismissed me with the with the wave of her hand like I was just some homeless fly and maybe I was.
If only I could just get a glimpse of him
Then....maybe having a bad day was worth it.
I thought as I walked away
