16: Party
<<Avery>>>
When I go to my hotel room, I sink into the bed and sleep for hours. I cover my face so Lena cannot
notice the silent tears.
I feel bad that Dad was sick, and I wasn’t around. But I feel worse that once again I am expected to fulfill a daughter’s duty. I am supposed to forget the heartbreak and betrayal and accept Ethan’s apology.

Barely three words came out of his mouth. Still, I am supposed to forgive him and patch up with my sister. To present the united front in for the fuckin media.
Maybe I shouldn’t… but I cannot help the pang of resentment in my heart.
But I will do it. I will attend the party. Just tonight, and this will be over. I console myself.
“You okay, sweetie?” Lena asks me.
“Yea.. I need to attend a party tonight,” I get up and say.
“Ethan and Della will be there too…” I admit, with my shoulders slump.
She frowns.
“What! Why?”
I sigh and explain everything to her.
“Oh Girl! It’s not fair…” she takes a pause and says, “But you know what! It’s a chance to show that sorry ass Ethan that what he is missing. That asshole!”
I smile. Lena looks cute when she swears.
“Do you have a dress?”
Oh Fuck!

“Nooo…” I groan and admit, “Dress wasn’t even on my
“I
mind!”
I guess it’s time to shop.” she wiggles her eyebrows and I laugh.
I glance at the clock and say, “We barely have 4 hours to the party. How will we even manage it?”
With a good sister around, anything is possible. Lena helps me choose a wonderful Skin–color partially See–through lace Dress.
“This is perfect!” she says, and I bite my lips.
“Isn’t it too much?” Only the top has a thick material so it wouldn’t be indecent wear, but the skin will show off my legs and my ass real good.
“Nope! It’s perfect to make a dramatic entrance… then she spanks my bum and adds, “and exit!”
I squeak, then laugh.
“It does look good though,” I say, glancing at the sheer open back in the mirror. It’s hugging my whole body perfectly.
The party is at the ballroom of Maybourne Beverly Hills Hotel. As I enter the ballroom. I hear Joy and Ethan’s mom, Mary, making a toast. She looks happy. I hope she is thriving on my fucking kidney. I wish I could take it back.
I shake my head at the absurdity of my own thoughts.
Fuck, Great start. I wonder when I will stop feeling bitter towards everyone. I know they wronged me. But what’s the point of feeling bitter like this? I take a deep breath and walk towards them. Old
Avery would have avoided them and would have hid in a corner, but this is new me.
I will face it. No matter how hard it is.
I ignore the fact that heads are turning towards me.
Don’t be nervous. Don’t be nervous.
Oh Lena! This dress is grabbing too much attention!

Chapter 41
Mary’s eyes fall on me, and she takes me in with a shock on her expression. I am unable to figure out if she is shocked by my dress or shocked to see that I am here.
“Hi Mary… Congratulations on your Son’s wedding announcement,” I smile and greet her as if the words out of my mouth didn’t cut my own skin.
I throw a glance at Joy. She takes in my dress and looks furious.
Good. It’s working. You wanted me here.
Now take it, bitch.
“Hello Mother,” I sneer at her.
Mary surprises me by giving me a hug, “Thanks honey…” Then she whispers in my ear. “Bold dress. I like this avatar of yours.”
My eyes widen.
“Uhmmm Thanks,” I smile and say. I thought she would hate me for grabbing attention away from
Della.
“I missed you Avery…” she says with an indecipherable expression on her face.
I frown. Maybe…
But I guess not enough to look for me.
I take a leave from Joy and Mary to look around. It’s a good networking opportunity. If I plan to use the funds sitting in my bank, I need to make connections. I can see many investors from Kroc Food
around. It’s the Johnshon family’s side business. It has soared real good in the past year and their shares are highly sought.
I am not much interested in the food industry, but money is money. So I talk to some of the guests, anyway. Sometimes I wish I had someone to guide me. I still feel hesitant about investing my money, So far I have invested it very carefully and results are so far so good.
While I am talking to one of the ex partners of my family’s company, The Collins Constructions, Della
slips her palm into mine and smiles at the ex- partner and says, “I will borrow my sister from you…”

He laughs and says, “Sure!”
t’s hilarious. I am sure every single person talking to me today knows about the Collins Family’s
ness. They know how Ethan and Nikki betrayed me and how I snarled at that reporter exposing
hem.
wonder if they find it funny. If they see through Della and Joy’s facade.
