BRIANNA CAMPBELL

The party

Brianna's POV

Liam returned that night and as usual, I arranged the clothes he wore out and prepared his bath. His mom said she doesn't want the maids to handle that so I have to do it too.

Among the three wives he married, I'm the only one treated poorly. Is it because I'm from a poor background?

I returned to my room after he went to the bathroom and got ready to sleep after a long day. Each of the wives has a separate room and Liam sometimes sleep in each of the rooms except mine.

"Honey, can I come in?" I heard Liam's voice at the door

What is he doing here by this time? And honey? He only calls me that when he has a favour to ask.

"You can come in. It's your house anyway" I mumbled the last part to myself

"How are you doing? I figured you might need a massage since you probably had a hectic day at work so I'm here to give you one" he said as he walked in

"Just get straight to the point please, I don't have time for this" I sighed

"What are you talking about? I'm here to give you a massage" he feigned ignorance

"Leave my room if you have nothing to say" I said

"Fine, I'll say it. I will be attending a party next week and I need to go with a partner. Can you please come with me?" he asked

"I should come with you? Are you kidding me? What happened to the people that always went with you? They suddenly don't want to anymore?" I scoffed

"No, I just want the media to get to know you gradually before I officially introduce you to the world after divorcing the other two" he said

"Thanks but I'm not interested. Ask Lydia or Callista to go with you, I'm sure they will be extremely delighted, especially Callista" I said

"Please Brianna, just this once okay?" he pleaded

"Why do you want me to go with you badly? Your mom already said I can't compare to Lydia and Callista when it comes to body figure and facial structure so what exactly do you want? Saturday is the only day I have to myself since I have to clean the whole house on Sunday but you want me to attend a party on that same day? Is it a crime to marry you?" I cried

"No Brianna. I'm really sorry that you have to go through all that but I promise to make it up to you. Can you just trust me this one time?" he pleaded

"Fine, I will trust you for the last time. It's not like I have a choice anyway" I said and lay on the bed

He left after a while and I sat up in anger. I honestly can't believe this but thinking about it now, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to go with him.

If the media gets to know that we have a romantic relationship going on, it won't be easy for him to treat me like a nobody anymore and I can finally have a say in the house. After all, the other wives are not known to the public.

*Saturday morning*

"Babe, when is the party starting?" I asked Liam with a smile

"The party will begin by 5 pm and there are going to be many prominent people there so I advise you to behave yourself" he said

"I just have to stay by your side and there won't be any problem. By the way, I don't know what to wear, can you help me pick out a dress?" I asked

"Ahh, I forgot to tell you. You don't need to wear a dress, just wear your suit and make sure you look like a professional prosecutor" he said

"What are you talking about? Who dresses like a prosecutor to a big party like this?" I giggled

"There will be other people dressed like that there, trust me. Besides, I want to proudly boast that my wife is a Senior Chief prosecutor" he said

"Fine then" I smiled shyly

Is he going to introduce me as his wife already? I thought he was just going to say we are in a relationship.

"Also, you don't need to say anything there no matter what happens. The only time you can talk is when you want to say hi to the people there. I will take care of the rest including the introduction about us" he said

"I got it" I said and pretended to zip my mouth

When it was exactly four thirty, we got into the car and drove to the venue. Liam said the journey would take exactly thirty minutes. He wants to arrive on time but he also wants to make sure they've started so that all eyes will be on him. He sure knows how to seek attention.

Just like he wanted, all eyes were on us as soon as we walked in and I suddenly started feeling nervous. I've faced more crowd than this but I've never attended this kind of gathering. Only rich people were present and I felt left out. Fortunately, my husband was with me so the nervousness died down a little.

"You're looking handsome as usual" a man complimented Liam and we both smiled at his comment

"Whether you arrive early or late, you will still be the center of attraction" a lady also said

Liam and I found somewhere to stay and the party soon started. I looked around to see if there were people in suit like me but there was no one, except for the guards.

"Liam, didn't you say there will be other people like me wearing suit here?" I whispered to Liam

"Don't worry about that, let's just enjoy the party for now" he said

I started feeling uncomfortable after what he said. I know he's not bothered since he's not the one that feels out of place, he just can't change his shitty attitude.

I grabbed a glass of wine and sipped some to calm my nerves a bit. People started coming around to greet Liam and I smiled at them all through even though none of them said hi to me.

"Who is this beautiful lady next to you? She looks familiar too" one of the guests that came to greet Liam asked

"Oh, pardon my manners. I should have introduced her earlier" Liam said and gestured me to come forward

I couldn't help the smile on my face as I waited for him to introduce me. He wasn't introducing me to everyone but I'm sure these few people would spread the news.

"She's the Senior Chief prosecutor and we are close friends" Liam said and the smile on my face vanished immediately

The senior chief prosecutor and his friend? We are married but he dared to call me his friend?

"No wonder why she looks familiar. I know you have your ways of getting what you want but the fact that you could even get the strictest prosecutor on your side makes my respect for you grow bigger. You will definitely win the presidential election" the man said

"Thanks man! I really hope I win the election" Liam smiled and shook his hand before the man left

"What was that?" I asked still in a daze

"What was what?" he feigned ignorance

"Since you're oblivious to what I'm saying, I might as well tell everyone present about our relationship" I said and started walking towards the center but he stopped me

"What do you think you are doing? This place isn't for someone like you so don't embarrass yourself. Even though you're the Senior Chief Prosecutor, you still can't come here without the influence of someone like me" he said

"At least let me embarrass myself first before you say anything" I said and tried to move away from him but he tightened his grip on me

"Behave yourself unless you are tired of living. Your sister is currently with her friends in a restaurant so just keep quiet and put a smile on your face until the party ends" he said

"If you dare touch my sister..." I warned

"My men are there already so it will depend on how well you behave this night. You know I always keep my word right?" he asked

I suddenly felt weak and couldn't move my legs. I know that he deceived me into marrying him but I never knew he was the devil all along. My life is probably ruined right? I decided to put up with him, hoping that he would return to the Liam I once knew in highschool but I was wrong. I don't even know if divorcing him is the right thing to do because who would want to marry a divorcee? Different thoughts clouded my mind and I didn't even realize what was going on around me anymore.
