"Move aside" Elizabeth said trying to push away Alicia who stood at the entrance. Alicia stood there acting like no one was speaking to her as she went on with her call regardless, explaining things to the caller at the other end.
She was obviously pushing Elizabeth's buttons and Elizabeth on her own part had been calm since her return, she didn't try to force her way into the family like she was right fully supposed to. She had firmly opposed to the fact that she had came back with an ulterior motive by the way she had taken things lightly.
I admire her but not so much, she was my rival after all and I know between us three who were involved with both Xander and Damon, Elizabeth had the upper hand cause this two step brothers had once fought over her only that the fight was silent between them, Damon was the one who backed out despite loving her since childhood.
Xander and I watched as the drama unfolded from above. Initially something else had happened before that but we were only able to catch the second scene.
With full force Elizabeth pushed Alicia aside making her loose her balance and had fallen to the side, she got up all by herself and yanked Elizabeth ponytail pulling her back after she had almost made her way to the stairs.
"How does that feel?" She says, pulling the hair further taking a might bunch of it before releasing the hair band, making Elizabeth long hair fall loose and covered her face.
Smack!
The sound of a hand hitting a face was heard several times which piqued Xander's immediately as he ran down to stop Elizabeth from slapping Alicia, especially on her wedding day.
Both sides of her cheeks were extremely red and it will be hard to tell if makeup will be able to cover all of the markings on her face. "Ahhh!!! You will pay for this" She screamed ferociously after looking at her face on her phone screen before jumping on Elizabeth who was being held back by Xander from doing anymore damage to Alicia.
"Get off me!" Elizabeth pushed her away, "You should be glad that I haven't exposed your crime and reported you to the police, rather I am letting you go ahead with your wedding with my husband since it has always been your dream, you sly b*tch..."
"News flash Egyptian mummy, by law Damon is no longer your husband as long as there is a death certificate that proofs you are dead, so please go back to that nasty box called coffin and please lay to rest cause you are not needed here, and oh... I did not commit the crime you believe that I did, go dig around for some concrete proof and stop blaming an innocent person like me" Alicia spat out only for her to be met with another slap from Elizabeth.
Before Alicia could recover from the last slap she was given Xander whisk Elizabeth away from the scene and out of the mansion. Alicia held her face as she looked at the workers she had hired to put her wedding preparation in order all staring at her. "Get to work!" She shouted at them and they all acted like they were doing something, "Fools" she muttered as she walk past me.
This was the second time I was actually witnessing Alicia's true demeanor, all the smile she gave were always fake, even now when she walk past me she had tried to smile but the pain on her face wouldn't allow her.
If things could get brutal between this two just by only seeing each other then what say me if they ever found out I was in a cozy place with Damon. One was the ice cold wife, the other was the feisty obsessed lover who won't back down, with this two there isn't any guarantee that I shall survive if they come after me, I the mistress.
After several hours things were now calm and the storm was over, even the dark cloud had already left the sky and now Alicia came out of her room when she heard that the priest had arrived and so was her dress.
Jeanette had actually taken up the responsibility of putting together everything as we all got ready for the wedding that will take place in an hour ---- the fear I had earlier returned, if Damon do get married today I shall walk away even though I already am starting to love him.
Took me so many hours to think about it and now I had concluded that I don't want to be known as "mistress surrogate" the hidden lover of business tycoon, Damon Prince.
Now I shall respect my decision....
I heard a knock on my door while I was trying to zip up the last point of the zipper but my hand just can't reach it ---- I just can't understand the esthetic of the zipper. Out of agony I let it as it was and went to respond to the door incase if the person at the door could possibly help out.
"Can I come in" Damon said, already a foot in and I nodded in approval opening the door wider so he could come in before closing the door behind me. He looked so handsome in that tux, out of the people I have closely seen on a tux Damon looked the best and I've only seen none, the others were always on magazines and pictures they probably would've gotten their pictures photoshopped to look good.
My eyes looked at the elegance of the box he had in his hands. "I have something for you" he said before opening the rectangle box, my jaw dropped at the sight of the necklace that was in it. "This is a family heirloom that has been passed down for decades now and I want to gift it to you"
My heart was touched by this but there was no way I could accept it. My eyes squinted like I was trying to recall something "Wait a minute, Damon isn't this the priced possession that you said that I stole, then why do you still have it with you?"
Damon dropped the necklace on my bed like it was nothing and didn't cost a fortune like he made it out to be, he held my arm. "You know the situation at that time..."
"What situation Damon? You branded me a thief in front of your family, made a huge fuss about it and now you are giving it to me, if anyone do see me wearing this today wouldn't that be confirming that I Indeed stole it as you presumed...."
"I shall disagree to it cause you are not a thief...."
"What will the people say when you try and defend me, huh... Wouldn't that raise a suspicion, what about Alicia? What if she sees me wearing it and realise that the one you gave to her at the engagement wasn't the real one, how then how will she feel"
"You wanted me to prove my love and I was trying...."
Can he get any stupid, "You want to prove your love for me by giving me jewelry meant for the family's daughter-in-law" I blurted out and I know this would really hurt him, "Am I that cheap to you, Damon?" It was a rhetorical question but his hand gesture showed that he wanted to show that I wasn't cheap but I threw it away ordering that he leaves my room immediately.
He calmly picked up the box which still had the necklace in it and almost exited the room, he turned back and silently without my permission helped zip up my dress and complimented that I looked really beautiful before he left.
My heart sank right there as I watch him shut the door to my room.
