I was very happy, but I started to feel disconcerted when I realized that there were many people at the party that Marshall had prepared for me.
– I know there are a lot of people here and most of them you don’t know\, but I invited them in order to let them know that the Kingdom Hotels have reopened and are more famous than ever. – he said smiling.
– I’ve only reopened a hotel so far Marshall. – I corrected him.
– I’m already predicting the future. – he said.
– Funny. – I said while rolling my eyes.
– Come on. Don’t stand at the entrance. – Marshall said almost pulled the three of us into the party room.
I started walking and looking around and realized that despite being full of a lot of people I didn’t know, it was a simple party. All the decoration was made especially to be as discreet as possible. And I was very happy to see roses red and blue and daisies scattered around the room. He had remembered how nostalgic they were to me.
– Thanks. – I said looking at him and smiling.
– You’re welcome. Come on\, enjoy it. Then I’ll come back to you. – he said as he walked and I saw that he was going towards Mr. Prince.
After knowing where he was going, I turned to look at Tobias and he was as frowning as possible. I put my arm on his, took advantage of the fact that I was having a very soft song in the lounge and asked:
– What do you think about dancing a little?
– Slow music is playing. – he replied without looking at me.
– Then I’ll see if Marshall wants to dance with me. – I said while letting go of my arm and taking a step forward. Then suddenly I felt his hand in one of mine.
– Wait. I dance with you. – he said.
– I’ll stay here in the corner. Have fun. – said my uncle accessing with his hand.
Then he led me to the dance floor, put one hand on my waist and the other on my hand, and we started to waltz, very calmly.
– Diana\, I’m sorry. I can’t think straight when that guy is close to you. – he said looking into my eyes.
– I should have gotten used to it. It’s been four years since I started a friendship with him. – I answered him.
– It’s just that I can’t control myself. Years ago\, he put a man behind us just to find out who you were. – I said.
– I know. And he already apologized to me for that. You’ll get used to it. I don’t intend to take Marshall out of my life\, because of my cousin’s jealousy. – I talked.
– Are you just seeing me as a cousin right now? – he asked.
– You understood very well what I meant. – I answered.
After that, we were silent for a long time, just dancing quietly. Until the moment that Mr. Prince began to give a statement on the microphone.
– Good evening my friends. This party we are throwing today is to celebrate a small partnership that my son\, Marshall\, made with Miss King. Kingdom hotels are open again and under the presidency of Miss King! I invite you to visit them soon. Thank you for your trust\, Miss. Cheers! said Mr Prince with a glass of champagne raised.
– CHEERS ! – everyone said before drinking and soon after\, there was a round of applause in the hall.
We hadn’t partnered at all. But I wanted it that way, since Marshall had moved into one of the more expensive suites so I could repay the loan as quickly as possible.
– What partnership is he talking about? – asked Tobias.
– Marshall moved into one of the suites so I could pay the bank faster. – I answered.
– You didn’t allow me to help you\, but did you leave him? – he asked in a tone that seemed to be rising.
– How am I going to allow a member of my family\, who by the way to be dead\, to help me? How would you help me Tobias? And I don’t allow it\, he came up with this idea and I couldn’t appeal a guest. – I answered.
– I didn’t understand anything. Excuse me. – he said as he walked towards my uncle.
I didn’t go after him. I was already exhausted from Tobias’ jealous scenes. He had no right over me, nor I about him. I left it alone and went to enjoy my party that Marshall had had the trouble to prepare. all night with almost all the guests who were curious about the hotel and many of them promised to make reservations the next day.
When I realized what time it was, it was after two in the morning. I said goodbye to the Prince family and then Marshall.
– But already? – he asked holding my hands.
– Yes. I need to work tomorrow. – I answered.
– Okay. See you tomorrow. – I said while giving me a hug.
– Thanks for everything\, Marshall. – I said while hugging him.
– You do not need to thank me. – he replied.
I released him and we exchanged smiles as we looked at each other. I walked towards Tobias and my uncle that I had left aside all night and called them to leave. to the parking lot and we got in the car to go home. The ride was silent. When we arrived, I was the first one to get out of the car and start entering the house.
– Good night to you both. – I said while walking towards the stairs.
– Good night dear. – said my uncle.
Tobias didn’t answer. And I didn’t ask him to answer. I started up the stairs and as soon as I turned down the hall I stopped and took my pair of high heels off my feet, that’s when I realized that my uncle was talking to Tobias.
– You’re missing her.
– Do you think I don’t know? – replied Tobias almost shouting.
– Speak quietly. Otherwise\, she will hear. – said my uncle and badly knew he was already listening.
– I’ll talk to her quietly tomorrow\, when she returns from the hotel. – said Tobias.
– If I were you\, I would go now. I already gave you too much time Tobias. If you don’t reach your goal\, I will have to make some decision regarding it. – said my uncle.
– Aren’t you satisfied that she isn’t looking for answers in the past? Are you not satisfied with having all the Kingdom group money just for you? What else do you want\, dad? – asked Tobias.
– I want the Kingdom group for me. I want there to be no one in my path\, my son. – said my uncle.
– You are a monster. – said Tobias.
– Maybe I am. But I’m a monster that cares about your future. – he said.
– I would prefer a thousand times that this way of worrying about me did not exist. Good night\, father. – Tobias said and I heard his footsteps.
I didn’t stay to see if my uncle answered or not. I just ran to my room and locked the door very slowly so as not to make any noise. Then Tobias knocked on my door. I opened it to find out what he wanted with me.
– What is ?
– I’m sorry for the way I acted tonight. I didn’t want to …
– Tobias. It is already late and I need to sleep. Do not apologize for something you will never control. Good night. – I said interrupting him and then immediately closing the door.
He didn’t try to continue the conversation. This time I was really upset. But I knew that in my heart I would forgive him right away. I took off my clothes and went to take a hot shower. I was about to fall asleep, my phone got a message. When I lit it, I saw it was from Marshall.
“- Are you free tomorrow for dinner tonight? I need to talk to you.”
I didn’t answer it. It was after three in the morning. And I knew that a moment would come when my curiosity would speak louder and I wouldn’t get any answers. So I put my cell phone on the nightstand back, I turned around in bed and soon fell asleep.
