CHAPTER 12. THE TURN OF EVENTS

"Would someone care to explain what is going on here?" My father's icy tone while Gracia takes a step away from her daughter, revealing Nelly's visage as humiliation is smeared all over her.

Just as I had anticipated. She is quivering while dodging everyone's gaze. She is wishing for the ground she is standing on to open up and swallow her whole she can escape from this embarrassment. And here I thought she was pleased with she had done. Why is she now a trembling mess? wasn’t she all hard-balled and on me for this same act? What happened to her now?

"Nelly! I'm waiting!" My father repeats while glaring homicidally at the terrified . I am so enjoying this.

Gathering the little courage left in her, she opens her trembling lips as she does us the of describing her repulsive behavior.

"Sorry, Dad. Things just spiraled out of control," she labors for words.

I was about to smirk at the disgustingly squirming bitch, but the last part of her small made me almost choke on my smirk. I suddenly feel a tight knot in my . What on hell does she mean by things just got out of control? What things?

What was in control? I squeeze my eyes at her in an attempt to understand what she .

"This was NOT, part of the agreement, Nelly!" Mr Riccarford's stern voice rings once , almost paralyzing me on my spot.

I cruise my eyes around them - the three souls before me. Everyone is avoiding his , but I muster up the guts to dart my eyes in his direction. I don't care about his facial expression right now, which is dreadful enough to frighten even the himself, but what kind of agreement is he referring to?

Agreement? Even the sound of this term alone makes my blood boil. It rings with a sound. The only agreement I know about is the one he has with the

Riccafortes which I am fighting. And that did not include Nelly at all. So what is this agreement that he is talking about?

"Pa..."

"I don't want to ruin this day more than you already have, Nelly,” he beats me just as I about to demand an explanation, cutting me off. “I will let this go for now, but after the party, you better have a better justification, or else..."

"Richard, come on!” Gracia screeches under her breath, glaring at my father while I them in utter shock. “My daughter did you a huge favor. Can you for once give some credit?" This witch makes an effort to protect her daughter. I'm not surprised .

A favor, she said? So, they all were in this together?

Wait, don’t tell me that my father did this just so he could separate me and Leo so that

I could agree to the betrothal? And knowing him, I know he would do anything to see success of this betrothal. I just didn’t think that he could indeed succumb to such , desperate measures.

OMG! This is not happening for God’s sake!

Then again, the truth is howling right before me, staring at me.

Now I get it! However ridiculous it sounds, it now perfectly rings a bell. Loud and ! Everything makes sense now. That was why this whore was not even ashamed all. This is why she was not scared about my father knowing about this. What a !

"Stop defending her, Gracia. She messed up!" Father roars.

"But Richard, the outcome is exactly what you wanted, right? Cut my daughter slack, you!" Gracia is bent on fighting for her shameless daughter.

"I don't recollect any part that said she was to sleep with Leo, much less on my 's own bed and that, is unforgivable! She only needed to seduce him and a breakup, not to disrespect my daughter in this manner!"

And the truth finally comes out!

Great! Just great!

"What does it matter, huh?" Gracia squeals again.

At this point, I am so suffocated by their yellings and all that I have discovered. I my ears to prevent them from blocking due to the yelling and barking.

For a moment, all I can see is their mouths screaming furiously, firing at each other. A -devil by the name of Gracia who won't give up in her defense of her shameless , and a devil by the name of my father who is so enraged. He looks like he is to kill someone. It seems as though we are in a live soap opera while the , drivers, and security personnels are the audience. This is just too much!

"STOP!" I yell while lowering my hands from my ears. They all stop their yapping gawk at me as they exorcise their demons. Gosh! Never before has the tranquility this castle been so disturbed. Never!

"We are done here. I need a good explanation for this tonight, Nelly, and be ready for consequences!" Father states with an autocratic tone that no one would dare defy question. He then turns to me. "Let's go, my dear," he says before turning to leave.

"No, Papa! I demand an explanation. What did you do this time?" I query, refusing to a muscle. He just can’t expect me to put this stinging betrayal behind me just that.

"There is nothing for you to know, Ellie. We have a meeting with the board in a few we are behind time. We have a very busy, and important day ahead. Let's get and stop wasting time," he and turns on his tracks once again, walking away, today, I am not letting him get away. He always had his way with everything, but this one. Not today.

"Until you tell me what this agreement was all about, Papa, I'm not moving an inch here," I state. He makes a calm turn, but his veiled ire is clearly apparent in his . Wait. Isn't it me that is supposed to be upset in this situation? It is he who me for hell’s sake! To hell with his annoyance. "So, you are to blame for this , pa?" I query.
