"Ah, you're finally here." Lucius greeted his guests one by one.
"Come in. Sorry Gina couldn't welcome you. He was with me greeting the guest inside."
Derek nodded. He took his beautiful looking wife in a red dress and hair in a neat bun with some parts still dangling. Behind him runs Eve who comes with Mike. Lucius raised his eyebrows.
"Not with your Alex, Eve?"
"He's not my Alex! I'm gonna find another Alex tonight." With a shake of Eve's hips go step inside the mansion. Mike chuckles amusedly.
"I think they're fighting" Mike said.
"Well .. come in, Mike. Enjoy the party ...." Lucius invited Mike in, he himself still had to welcome some guests who were still arriving.
Tonight is Eloy Sanchez's birthday. Lucius and Reggie agree to celebrate. Their father was healthier and more active using a wheelchair. Eloy's happiness makes her health better, although the right side of her body is still difficult to move, especially her legs.
Mike searches for a figure he has not seen for a long time, a beautiful wild cat that is getting stronger in his heart and mind. The more Mike wants to forget, the sharper he remembers the girl.
Mike saw Reggie at the end of the hall, pushing his father's wheelchair toward a guest. Mike frowned at the dress Reggie was wearing. A mini dress with a top that resembles a corset so that Reggie's shoulders, upper chest and upper back are exposed, the length of the ivory-white dress was far above the coat. The dress with a body contour cut was clearly printed Reggie's body as if screaming the owner was really very mature and could tempt the eyes.
Mike looked around. Some men looked at the Eloy princess with astonished gazes. Fresh face with a little polish thin makeup makes Reggie look very attractive, very beautiful, very sensual, very ... Mike no longer knew what words he could describe when he saw Regina's appearance.
A man in a dark blue suit who fit the body came over to Eloy. He greeted Eloy who looked very surprised and smiled broadly as he welcomed the man's hand. Eloy pulls Reggie's smiling hand when her father introduces her to the man.
Mike held back his growl as the man in the dark blue suit not only greeted Reggie. The man said something and then kissed the back of Reggie's hand like a prince kissing a princess's hand and Reggie seemed happy, timidly Reggie said something in return.
From where Amy stood and Derek squinted at Mike's expression in the distance.
"He's jealous. I'm pretty sure" whispered Amy cheerfully.
"Yes. Looks like they'll just walk in place if we don't do something, Sweety ...."
"You believe right now .. The dress really gives the desired effect. All eyes looked at Regina, his only daughter and one of Eloy Sanchez's heirs. They're gonna start chasing him."
"The treasure hunters ...," whispered Derek annoyed.
"Sttt .. We need these men to go after Reggie. Mike needs a little push."
Derek frowned. He could have guessed what made Mike avoid marriage so much. For days he thought of what plans he could do to address the problem.
Reggie looked around and saw Amy and Derek. Reggie smiled in the distance, looking more beautiful and shining in the eyes of Mike who could not be seen while leaning against the wall. The dark blue-clothed man next to him seemed to have no intention of leaving the girl. Sticking as if to monopolize Regina.
"Why come? Isn't the man you were with handsome." Amy said with a big smile.
"I want to welcome you. After all, he's just the son of an old friend of Dad's."
"But he's handsome, isn't he" teased Amy again. A slow pinch landed on his ass.
"Derek!?" amy was surprised.
"Don't praise the other man in front of me, Sweetheart." Dedek frowned, making Reggie laugh amusedly. He was forced to cover his mouth with his hands, then his tail looked at a man with a tuxedo wrapped around his large body. Despite being covered by a long curtain on the large door leading to the mansion's side garden, Reggie knew who was leaning with his hands folded in front of his chest. His heart immediately fluttered. Reggie swore in the heart. Why just looking at that figure at a glance had already made his heart beat fast.
The event was lively and smooth. Reggie and Lucius take turns feeding their father's birthday cake. A thunderous applause and the sound of laughter echoed as Eloy smeared the cream of her birthday cake onto each of her son's cheeks.
Lucius laughed loudly. Making Reggie's eyes sparkle looking at her brother's happy face. Reggie goes back in time, when Lucius used to cheer him up by playing with him in the dungeon. Lucius' laughter was exactly the same, hopeful, carefree and loose. Has he slowly succeeded in making the shadow of past torture that tortured his brother disappear? Reggie's eyes began to glaze over.
"Don't start crying now, Gina. You're gonna put out some hard-earned make-up Angelo made." Lucius approached and hugged his sister.
Regina smiled as she reached out her hand hugging Lucius. Everyone was still clapping, the two brothers who had been separated were both laughing before finally separating and returning to their father and kissing the wrinkled cheeks on each side.
Music began to flow in the hall. Opened with classical music to accompany the opening Waltz. Lucius immediately pulled his sister to dance. Moments later some couples started to descend following the two brothers.
Mike looked at everything with an erratic heart. Reggie was finally happy. The girl looks satisfied with her life, Mike is really grateful for that. But he felt a little envious.
Something made him feel dissatisfaction and it was caused by Regina. Mike used to feel his life was perfect by being the main right-hand man of the Langton Clan, even without the surname he could bear. Mike was fine with it. But why did it now seem to be a hollow empty hole in his deepest heart.
Some time Reggie tried to survive the onslaught of business relations or the children of his father's friends who came and greeted him. Reggie put on a friendly smile until his jaw felt numb. He needed to go away for a while and take a breath.
Slowly Reggie retreated and after picking up a glass of champagne carried by a waiter passing by, Reggie walked quickly to the side balcony where he had seen Mike leaning by the door. The man has disappeared.
Reggie stepped straight up to the slightly dim part of the park, hiding himself from the gazes of the people in the dance hall from the wide open doors. He was just about to sip the drink he was carrying when a baritone voice greeted behind him.
"Enjoying your drinks alone, Regina?"
