Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 673 - Last Dance Part 2

        Laurence watched as his siblings dancing and playing. Esme is also enjoying the party. Then, there's Kale drinking. He approached him and sat beside him.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Well, your sister just rejected me," Kale told him. Laurence can't be any happier, and he laughed out loud. But, he stopped. Esme will be safer with Kale if ever she fell in love with him. "I knew that this is going to happen." He mumbled. Laurence patted him and instead of laughing.

        At two in the morning, the party is up. Everyone is done, and he escorted Kale to his room. Then, he also helped around, checking everything and putting the gifts over the trolley and deliver it to Esme's room.

        He knocked first, and Lovie opened it for him, and she smiled like seducing him.

"I'm delivering the gifts."

        He entered with the trolley.

"Where's your gift in here?" Esme asked as he put the gifts one by one on the corner.

"I told you. I already gave you that chocolate bar." He told. He sounds serious and Esme frowned at him. "I know that you'll have lots of gifts here."

"Okay." She stood and approached him and spread her arms. He also spread her arms and she wrapped her arms around him and he kissed her top head.

"I'm just kidding. My gift to you is in my room." He whispered. "I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"But, I want it now." She pushed him. He laughed.

"Okay, I'll be staying here for a while and why won't you open the gifts that everyone gave."

        Esme nodded.

"Yes, let's open it." Lovie looked so excited too.

        Laurence took the video camera. The two are still hyper although it's already three in the morning. He films the girls as Esme opened it one by one while drinking shots with them. Then, she also writes down letters for them that she ready.

        Laurence soon helped with cleaning as Esme put the beautiful items back on each box and she is done with writing letters for each of the people who gave her gifts. Esme of course had gifts for Lovie and Ken as her best friends and she requested it for him to buy it from the US and Esme packed it up before they got here.

        Lovie goes to sleep and she insisted him to give the gift.

"I'm sleepy," Laurence told her.

"You are drunk. You aren't sleepy." She's very insistent and she pulled him to his room.

        She is drunk and she opened the door for him. He turned on the dim lights and he slumped on the bed.

"Laurence!" She pulled him but he started snoring in a very fake way. "Come on."

        Laurence pointed out the table and she saw a box there. She excitedly went to the table to open the gift, lying on it. Laurence removed his shoes and socks and then, the fancy coat and he watched as Esme open the golden paper cover around the case.

        Then she opened it and she took the boy. Her eyes looked mesmerized through it. Laurence enjoys the moment as she caressed the beautiful boy especially made for her as she caressed the initials.

        She gently put it down and she ran to him and jumped into him to hug him.

"Thank you! Thank you."

        Laurence hugged her and caressed her hair lovingly. Maybe he's too drunk that he rolled over her as he lay her on the bed. He just doesn't know what's he's doing. It felt like his body has its brain, taking over what it wants.

        He pressed his lips to her and he kissed her passionately. Laurence didn't know what's he's doing right now and he's taking advantage of his sister.

        Zendaya had a fun night but she needed to leave the beach early with all of the problems coming in. She also felt bad for Timothy but she gave satisfy him enough. She let him stay on the beach. While she and Athena need to leave.

"Our little vacation is over," Athena said. "I haven't gotten to try to swim in the sea." Athena exhaled.

"Work is calling." Zendaya laughed at her. "You were too lazy to even swim on the beach. How could you start complaining about now?"

        Athena chuckled.

"Don't start with me smart ass."

        It takes three hours to get back to the city. The first thing that Athena did is to go to the café, order her tea and coffee. Then, she went to her father's company building directly to her Uncle Tony's office.

"Athena," Tony greeted without standing up from his seat. She gave him a coffee and she then sat comfortably on the sofa and smiled at him.

"Uncle, I need something."

"Yes, sure. What is it?"

"Where's your son?"

"Which son?" Tony asked.

"The dummy one."

        Tony scoffed.

"Did you just say that Wendell is a dummy?" Tony creased his brows. And then, he nodded to it. "Yup, okay, Wendell is a dummy. So, according to the tracker that her mother planted to him, he's in Hawaii, surfing."

"Oh, crap." She sipped on her tea.

"What's wrong?"

"I need him on something."

"Just call him. He's busy with making his life extreme."

"Got it." Athena stood. "Thank you, Uncle." She gave him a flying kiss and Tony nodded and get back to work.

        Athena left the building and went to Zendaya's office using her motorbike that is parked in the company building.

        Esme couldn't sleep at all. She is wide away the whole day and her head started aching.

"You didn't sleep?" Lovie asked. Lovie shook her when she didn't respond.

"What?"

        Esme's head is far away from reality. She has been thinking about the kiss. More like a French kiss in her brother's room. She shook the idea. It can't be. Maybe her brother is just drunk or something. But she felt something while he's kissing her.

        Esme has never been kissed by anyone in the lips. She never had a boyfriend because she's busy with her grades and her music, until seven hours ago.

"You need to sleep," Lovie told. "I'll call someone to give you milk. How about that?"

        Esme nodded at her. Lovie went to the door and opened it. Just right in time that Esme's mother is about to knock. Lovie greeted her and Ashaya went to Esme.

"Hey, darling."

        She smiled up at her mother. Ashaya kissed her forehead.

"So, do you like the gift that I and your dad prepare for you?" She asked her. Esme thought about the gift that she didn't remember and she smiled.

"The party is too much," Esme told her. Then she finally remembers it. It's a key and access to the penthouse in New York. "Thank you."

"Of course." Ashaya sat down. "Your brother might live with you, for protection. But you can kick him out anytime. He is living in a dorm nearby."

"Okay." She nodded at him.

"Next week, you need to fly alone to New York. Your brother will be leaving today early because school is calling for him."

        She nodded too and she looked at the wooden case in front of her.

"What's this?" Ashaya asked.

"It's from Laurence." She opened it and Ashaya's eyes soften.

"That's beautiful."

"Yes, it is."

        She pulled out the bow.

"Well, you need to sleep. I'll tell the maids to pick your gifts and later, we could leave."

        She nodded at her. After her mother left, she put down the bow beside the box and then, she took the rosin from a beautiful box. It has the rosin on it. However, it doesn't just contain a Rosin but a golden bracelet.

        The bracelet is simple, and it has that g-clef with her name. First, on the string, her name appears in calligraphy, and next to it is a g-clef, through the string, and next is a word rock. She smiled at it and put it on her.

        She sighed depressingly and put the rosin back and the bow back. Someone knocked on the door, and it opened. She turned around to see her brother grinning at her.

"Hey, I'm leaving early." He approached her and messed her hair. It's like, nothing ever happened at all. Maybe, he's just drunk, and it'll stay like that. Laurence is her brother starting the time that they took her in.

"Okay, have a safe trip," Esme told him.

"Practice more and kill your audition." He winked and kissed her forehead. "I love you but, I need to go."

        She nodded at him, and he left. She exhaled, and soon, Lovie entered the room with a tray of foods.

"Finally, not a minor!" Ken said, and he dropped his body.

        Esme laughed, and she took the glass of warm milk and sipped on it.

"Esme," Ken turned to her. "That is the greatest party that I've ever had. But you don't mind if I went live last night?"

        Esme shook her head.

"Sorry, I posted our photos too."

"It's fine with me."

"But we have to warn you. Lots of people commented about your last dance as your brother and then, you become more popular than those girls in school."       

        Esme doesn't care anymore.
