CHAPTER ONE {THE WAITER}

I got to the party at the right time as the party was just about to start with every one sitted including my family, awfully looking happy was my sister who at the moment she saw me started acting funny around her fiancé just to rile me up but I refused the bait so I pretentiously walked up to the stage and sent a wide greeting to everyone avoiding close personal contact with the family vultures and predators but it didn’t go as planned because immediately they saw me it was like a prey to feast on had just arrived and so their eyes were fixed on me and mind you if eyes could make someone disappear or remove clothes from a person’s body trust me their eyes would have done that to me instantly, just then my father called out to me beckoning me to come up, so he could introduce me to some of his friends and business partners but the witch in my step mother rose of from the dead and started throwing tantrums of why I would be arriving late to my own sister’s engagement party and all what not, but trying to manage my emotions I smiled it off and pretended I didn’t hear the nonsense she was spilling form her mouth , wala, Speaking of the devil the bride to be, comes from behind the mother vulture asking me where my man was and that she was right I could never get a man since she took the only one that I ever had, laughter erupted from behind her as her mother and friends echoed their feelings. Smile I whispered to myself so you don’t allow them know that what they have just said is the truth and in all sincerity I have not found a replacement for the man she took from me not to even dream of having a better one .I immediately shifted my attention to the hall and how beautiful it was and how grand an engagement party was planned and I asked my sister in a low voice all these for a man you stole what if he never marries you, what if he does exactly what he did to me to you how would you be able to hide your face in shame, her face grew cold immediately and she tried to hit me but in quick response I held her hands and told her never to try such again if not I promised to give her an elder sister’s beating she had never received all her life, while we were bickering like little children I accidentally spilled my glass of wine on a young man who was putting on a black three piece suit, black bow tie and a white shirt , he looked like a waiter if the black jacket was removed the black waist coat with the black bow tie and white shirt gave him away as one of the waiters or even the head or chief coordinator of the waiters for the event. My father noticed the rancor and the change of her countenance on the face of his daughter and rushed towards us to make sure he avoided any scene of craziness and drama, that instance, grabbing two glasses of champagne from a waiters train and handing them to myself and my sister he stepped into our middle and said enough both of you not today keep it calm there are dignitaries and media men here whatever nonsense you do today would mark the beginning of our down fall so you both better put your acts together especially you Eliora, why me I smirked. Please dad put a leech on your wild dog as I stepped away to the rest room to clean up the mess the wine made on my hands and a part of my dress.

While returning from the ladies I saw my step mother waltzing toward me with some camera men behind her saying she wants to come get me to tell her why I came to my younger sisters engagement party without my boyfriend whom I have always bragged about saying he’s a better fit than the good for nothing man her daughter is engaged to.

Jezz ,I froze in front of the lights, speechless and dumbfounded without an option I was trying to run off or make my way back to the rest when I accidentally bumped into the same young man from early on whom I spilled a glass of drink on, this time he was without his black jacket and was completely looking like a waiter, he reacted with a shout, you again, why would you not just let me be first you poured your drink on me some moments ago and now you want to push me into the pool are you after my life or something ? tell me who sent you and how much did they pay to you to get me killed I would double it, just then it occurred to me that I had gotten a boyfriend so I held him and whispered to his hearing please play along I would compensate you later. He refused as he groaned ‘Never’ trying to free himself from my grip but I didn’t allow him do so because my step mom and her leaches were in close proximity this was my only hope of survival tonight or maybe my best option of survival tonight because if not this then it would be shame and disgrace for the rest of my life from all of them, on seeing the cameras approaching he tried to run too for his dare life but I didn’t allow him, a sharp beautiful voice came from beside the camera, please ma could you introduce yourself and the young man standing beside you. With boldness from heaven and my full chest I grinned and said I am Miss Eliora Jackson and the man standing beside me is my boy friend, soon to be husband, what’s his name ma? I froze in confusion as his voice came from beside me Chris Daniel, I would not want you to stress my lady tonight she’s gone though a lot please excuse us I would really want my lady to have a sit from all the camera troubles and drama he pleaded to my relief as my antagonist sister shouted from behind a waiter is who you gave the title of being better than my man you must be delusional. I was weakened by the statement but then I remembered he just saved my life in front of the camera now I have to save his honor too from being tarnished by my sister’s witchcraft, is a waiter less of a human or does a waiter not deserve to be loved or love? I heard some voices echo from the crowd “they deserve to be loved” that was it the confirmation I wanted and that was our cue to leave the cameras to our sit as dad beckoned on us all to come take our sits for proper introductions and the engagement party proper.

I had to pull Chris along to the table and so he could sit with me and my family as we walked down I whispered in a low tone I sorry for the embarrassment please don’t take anything they say to you or me personal or serious they are out to make me feel less of myself and they would come at any one whom they feel wants to get in the way of their actions, I would compensate you handsomely after all this is done, He smiled and said no problem see what they have up their sleeves , Waow, what a man I took a glimpse at him, bold and strong{fire in the hole} I said to myself under my voice.
