💧 MIA POV💧
♻10 DAYS LATER♻
I was dressed in a stunning long flowing gown trimmed with lace with a plunging neckline, it stopped at my ankles. The dress showed a large amount of cleavage and I looked incredibly sexy in the blue evening gown.
I heard a knock and hurried to the door. One of the maids popped her head into my room, eyebrows raised and mouthed “Young Ma’am, your makeup artist is here”
“Let him in” I muttered
Few seconds after, he walked into my room with a big makeup bag. The makeup man rushed forward to powder my face as he began his work
It cost me a lot of money but I had to youthen my appearance with makeup because men love beautiful faces and I’d to look good for Ric
He looked up at me in the mirror as he finished doing my hair and beamed with pleasure. Then I stood before the mirror and looked at myself, it was professionally applied.
I sprayed myself with perfume, it has a light, fresh fragrance which made me smell like heaven
I looked stunning and the scent of my perfume lingered on in the room as I went down the stairs in my dressing gown.
“What do you think of my appearance?” I asked Mum
I noticed she didn’t hear a word I said, she was lost in thought, just watching me absently, clearly absorbed in her thinking
“Mum!” I shouted
“What is it?” Her eyebrows flashed in an unconscious signal
“What are you thinking about?” I asked for the particular matter that was being thought
“Aaliyah…..”
“Shall we leave now?” Dad’s voice interrupted what she intended to say

We arrived at Mr Nolan’s house around 6:45 PM. I took some time to wander around the beautiful house, it had a garden that was filled with the loveliest flowers, the purest fountains, and a fragrance fit to turn sorrow to joy
I saw a brand new, quite expensive car, I knew it belonged to Ric
“Ric is doing very well, he will have a larger and more expensive car. So this is an opportunity I can’t afford to miss” I murmured
With my mouth wide open, I gazed in awe at the living room, it was adorned with azure and gold, and with noble paintings. There was so much about the house I love, from the furniture to the natural light to the Eichler-like gray beams in the ceiling.
Mr Nolan and Ria stood on the stairs beaming as he intertwined his fingers with hers
Ric stuck his hand out and he said, “Good evening.” He studied our faces one after the other as he waited
So Mum wished him a good evening in return, and the two of them fell to talking.
Dad and Mr Nolan exchanged Pleasantries. I tried to join in my father’s pleasantry, but could only force one most reluctant smile.
Mr Nolan led us to the dining room, it was square in shape and was lavishly decorated, looking out onto a pretty garden. With the family of three and my parents, we sat down to dinner
“Have you fixed a date for the wedding yet?” Dad asked
“I will try to elucidate the reason for having this dinner and I’ll make it less confused and more comprehensible. I want to end the contractual relationship” Mr Nolan stated and Ric nodded vehemently, agreeing that “it wasn’t a big deal”
“You’ve got to be kidding” Dad half-yelled, giving Mr Nolan a dirty look
Mum gave a soft laugh which caused anger and panic bubbled within me and sorrow filled my face. My gaze went from Ric to his father, and he saw the flash of iratness that crossed my face. I just sat rigid for one long moment
“Nolan I think I must have misheard you” Dad muttered
“You see, the engagement was not done in a correct and satisfactory way. I bought the ring and Mia slipped the ring on her finger which is not supposed to be. Let’s just end this peacefully without resentment” Mr Nolan spoke calmly
“But I’m quite satisfied with it. I don’t mind, you promised that Ric will marry me when he returned” I told Mr Nolan
“Have a strong sense of self-worth and understand that you are worthy of love, care, trust, respect and compassion” Ria uttered
“Ric, what’s your take on that?” Dad inquired
“I’m not interested” Ric replied
“You will surely marry my daughter whether you like it or not” Dad said at the top of his voice but I found myself doubting him because Ric cannot be intimidated into doing something with stern words
“Thanks for the meal” Mum made a polite expression of her gratitude
“What are you waiting for?” Dad yelled angrily and walked out of the dining room. Mum and I got up at once and we followed behind him.
