Chapter 31
Adelie POV
After Raymond introduced me to his friend, whose name is Alex, we were all discussing something, and getting to know each other, when we suddenly heard the sound of a broken bottle, and we look in that direction to see that the villa is already in chaos.
"What's going on there?" Raymond asks as he springs up to his feet, and Alex follows before I stand up too.
"I'll go check it out," Alex says before he walks away, and we follow him too.
As we approach the place, I quickly recognize the person standing, whose back is facing us. It's Asher. What the hell is he doing here? But when I spot Cynthia too, I didn't need anyone to tell me that they came together. "What is going on here?" Alex asks once he arrives at the place, but his expression changes as soon as he spots Cynthia, and the way they stare at each other, tells me that they know each other from somewhere. "Nothing serious, I was just trying to teach your mannerless waitress some manners," Asher turns to him and smirks at him as if nothing happened.
"Oh, you're bleeding?" Asher suddenly gasps as he turns to face the waiter, who's holding his injured forehead.
"How dare you, bastard! Who the hell are you to ruin my party?" Alex snaps at Asher, and my heart sinks into my stomach, knowing my brother won't let that slide. Things are going to go bad here tonight if Alex says more annoying words to him.
"You would like to take those words back, Mr. I don't tolerate people saying shits to me, especially calling me a bastard. It makes my beast mode activated, and I bet you wouldn't want that to happen," He smirks at Alex.
"And wait! Did you ask who I am? Well, sorry for not introducing myself to you. My name is Asher Williams, Cynthia's boyfriend," He replies to Alex, as he raises one of his eyebrows.
"Hi, Alex... It has been a while. Meet my boyfriend, Asher... Sweetheart, this is Alex, my ex-boyfriend," Cynthia says proudly and confidently with a wide smile playing on her lips, and I now understand what this is all about. Cynthia brought Asher here for showoff. Is this girl crazy?
"You look shocked, are you?" Asher breaks the intense silence.
"Sweetheart, can you give some money to the waiter to sort himself out? I will refund you when we get home," He finally turns to me and utters, and I slowly clench my fists angrily. Can't he just pretend not to know me? "You..."
"Sweetheart, why don't we go to the restroom so we can sort your dress out, huh?" He holds Cynthia's hand and pulls her with him as they both walk away. I think I'm cursed with Asher.
The party is finally almost over, and I can see Asher from where I'm sitting. He's still there with Cynthia, and they are acting all lovey-dovey. These two are crazy.
"Excuse me," I suddenly hear a feminine voice, and I raise my gaze to see a young lady standing with a cunning and creepy smile on her face as she stares down at me. She's in her mid-thirties, the red long gown she's wearing is opened in the chest, showing her cleavage, and her brown hair falls freely down her shoulders with some strands covering one of her pair of brown eyes.
"Hi, I'm Lena," She extends her hand for a handshake, and I stare at her blankly for a few seconds before I finally take her hand. It's my first time seeing her, but she's acting all familiar now, and I'm confused because I haven't really met her before. Raymond excused himself and left for the restroom minutes ago, maybe they know each other.
"Can I sit here with you?" She asks, and I slowly nod my head, even if I don't feel comfortable around her. I don't want her to think that I'm being rude, or being a bad person.
"Sure," She finally sits across from me and crosses her legs.
"I didn't get your name, sweetheart," She utters.
"Oh, I'm Adelie..."
"You must be Raymond's girlfriend," she cuts me off, and I slowly nod my head.
"That's great. Well, let's not be strangers. I'm Lena, his ex-girlfriend," She utters, and my mouth drops open in shock, but I quickly control it.

"Oh," I mouthed.
"Lena..." Raymond suddenly shows up and calls her name, and I suddenly feel so angry. How the hell does he recognize her just from the back?
"Ray..." She calls softly as she stands up to her feet and turns to face him while having a sweet smile lingering on her face.
"It has been a while," She squeaks excitedly.
"Yeah. What are you doing here?" He further questions her, and I roll my eyes as I turn my face away, but my eyes meet Asher's, and I turn my face away again.
"Alex invited me," She smiles widely at him, and he slowly nods his head.
"Baby, come here," He finally gestures toward me, and I roll my eyes as I stand up and walk over to meet him. He has been acting like I wasn't even here, so why's he calling me now? "Sweetheart, meet my ex-girlfriend, Lena... Lena, meet my fiancee, Adelie," He says while beaming with smiles, and I blush hard.
"Oh, your fiancee? That's nice... Congratulations," She smiles at me nervously, but I can see the anger in her through her eyes. Do I care about how she feels? No! "Thank you," I smirk at her.
"Sweetheart, why don't we meet a few of my friends over there? You must've been so tired staying here, so I think we should take a stroll too," He says as he holds my hand, and I nod my head. "Yes, sweetheart," I reply to him.

We finally turn to leave, but I stop abruptly when I hear the tearing sound of fabric behind us, and I turn back swiftly to see her feet on the back of my dress which is now torn badly.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, sweetheart, it was a mistake," She smirks at me.
"What the hell did you just do, Lena? How could you tear her dress?" Raymond snaps at her, but she rolls her eyes sarcastically.
"Getting her another one won't be a big deal, why make it look like one?" She scoffs, and I slowly ball my fists. I so much want to pounce on this bastard and beat the hell out of her, but I need to also comport myself and act like it's fine. "You..." She was saying, but her dress suddenly falls off her shoulders, revealing her naked body. She only has a pantie on, with no bra.
"Oops! I'm so sorry, it was a mistake," Asher speaks behind her, and she gasps sharply as she turns to face him.
"You, how dare you!" She snaps at him.
"What? Are you angry? Don't you have the money to buy another one? Buying a new one won't be a big deal, so don't make it look like it is," He smirks at her, and I can't help the smile that laces up my lips. For the first time, Asher finally does something that pleases me so much. He fucking protected me even when I didn't need it.
"By the way, you have such nice boobs," He giggles softly, and by now, everyone has started taking pictures of her, while she uses her hands to cover herself up as tears stream down her cheeks.
"You will pay for this," She raises her hand to slap him, but Cynthia quickly stands Between them, and her hand lands on her cheek.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I don't like living in debt," Cynthia says, and before I can comprehend what's happening, she sends two hot slaps across her cheeks.
Wow! Today was crazy, honestly...
