Now, I'm seriously being called litrle girl, this was funny when it was Stuart being called little but me, it's not one bit funny. I'm a full grown woman not some ten years old girl.
"Mom".
Stuart greeted and stood up to meet them.Eddie didn't dare to look at Stuart still feeling guilty.
'She doesn't even want to look at me, sge us still angry' Stuart thought. Stuart and Eddie walked towards the two seats remaining when Vanessa appeared and took one of the seat which was Eddie's.
I'll make sure they don't seat together so that sl*t doesn't have any chance to threaten Stuart again. Vanessa thought.
Stuart made eye contact with Charlotteand she stood up from her seat accross them and came to sit beside Vanessa.
Then Stuart and Eddie went there and sat down. Vanessa was silently throwing daggers with her eyes towards Eddie.
But after meeting Stuart's cold obsidian eyes she didn't dare look at Eddie again.
Vanessa was silently fuming with anger thinking of a way to embarass Eddie. Meanwhile Stuart slipped Eddie's hand into his as if comforting her.
Eddie wanted to pull out her hand but stopped. 'Let this be an apology for misunderstanding him' She said to herself.
Aunt Sarah looked at Eddie and asked "Eddie how are your parents?"
Eddie stiffened at aunt Sarah's question and Stuart directly felt the hatred emanating from her.
He gently squeezed her hand to comfort her but she slipped her and away from his waking up instantly. Eddie concealed the hatred in her eyes.
Eddie's Pov
As I walked towards the remaining two seats which seemed to be reserved for me and Stuart, a figure jumped in and sat on one of the chairs.
Recognizing the person it was vanessa. I was seriously pissed off and frustrated, what was wrong with this lady? Is she having mental problems or what?
If she wanted Stuart she could have him all to herself, it was not as if I liked being with him for all she cares.
Then Charlotte stood up and sat beside Vanessa leaving two seats open opposite them which was originally Charlotte's and Vanessa's seat.
I walked towards the seats with Stuart leading me, but soon enough I felt a very resentful gaze without looking I knew it was that psycopath, Vanessa.
Then I stopped feeling the gaze almost immediately but was returned with multiplied anger briefly. I was already beginning to settle diwn and relax my nerves when Aunt Sarah threw a question which was outrightly directed to me.
"Eddie, how are your parents?" The wuestion made me stiffen and I lost control of my emotions with hatred brimming from every inch of my body.
I felt a cold hand gently squeez mine and I instantly woke up keeping my emotions in check, at the same time slipping my hands away from Stuart's hand.
Stuart's Pov
I was walking towards Eddie with a smile on my face when I saw her tilting backwords. My eyes turned cold and the smile wiped off my face, it was an argument, U observed judging from Vanessa's rage filled face.
I strode briskly towards them and caught Eddie's falling figure and soon Vanessa's hand was coming down with force towards Eddie's face.
With speed I stopped Vanessa's hand halfway and relief washed over me that sge had not hit Eddie before I could stop her.
Then anger came rushing in how dare she hit Eddie? I asked with a bone chilling voice which seemed to scare her back to her senses.
With the force of the slap if it landed on Eddie it would be a surprise if her face didn't get torn or injured.
My face which had just calmed down turned cold again. I made sure to warn Vanessa about laying her hands on Eddie again. How dare she lay her hand on my fiancee?
Vanessa screamed after she heard what I said, she ran away muttering sone words like 'you can only be mine'. Whatever I didn't care, who was she anyway?
I held Eddie's hand, my expression filled with concern as I asked her if she was okay. She pulled her hand away with force and anger was written evidently on her face. My eyes flickered when I saw her face, I was surprised she could still renember the rule she made even until now, of course I knew I shouldn't have declared her my fiancee in front of vanessa but it was in the spur of the moment.
I knew I was in the wrong but I just decided to act as if he did not know, but Eddie was obviously not going to let it go, she asked me with a cold tone if I'd forgotten the first rule.
I didn't answer her instead I tried to hold her hand but she dodged and was about to leave.
I panicked and cornered her against the wall but it just seemed to anger her more and i soon realized why when she told me in the same cold tone that I had broken the second rule.
My guts told me to apologize immediately which I did but she cut me off that it was practically none of her business.
I dejectedly put my hands down which she took tge opportunity to escape and looking at her hurried figure which was like runnibg away from a plague my face turned black again.
I stood there for a while staring at her back till she was out of sight. Just then a servant came to ask for my presence saying my dad wanted to talk to me.
I made my way towards the study which was separated from other rooms and relatively secluded. I knocked and got an affirmative answer before I entered.....
I was now making my was towards the dining room when I saw my mum talking to Eddie. With the look on her face, trying to keep her facein check which was obviously not working as her eyes was filled with laughter I guess my mum must have called me 'little Stuart' in front of her because anytime she calls me 'little Stuart' in front of anyone almost all of them had that same reaction.
I had warned her many times but she wouldn't just stop, can you imagine a billionaire being called by his name as 'little' and it seriously brings me low in front of my friends but soon I was not so angry as I got close soon enough to hear my mum calling Eddie 'little girl' and looking at the expression on her face which was not to good, I smiled.
I made my way towards them and greeted my mum, Eddie acted as if she didn't see me, I guess she was still angry. I led her towards the dining room and before we could sit a figure flashed by and sat on one of the seats.
It was Vanessa, what was wrong with this lady? I felt like opening up her head and check whether it was filled with water. Sighing, I made eye contact with Charlotte and she immediately understood.
She stood up and sat down beside Vanessa leaving two seats empty opposite them. I made my way towards the seat with Eddie behind me.
Soon enough, I caught Vanessa staring at Eddie with venom filled eyes to which I gave a cold glare and she immediately backed down.
