When I turned around, I noticed Christopher had been staring at me with a concerned look. However, I was glad he had resisted the urge to ask me to join him for a dance.
Once they finished dancing, Crystal brought Lyle back to my side and said, “Congratulations, Yvonne. I can’t believe you have gotten married for two years. It has been two years since my last encounter with Lyle as well. I hope you won’t mind having him joining me for a dance.”
It was evident it was an attempt to assert dominance over me in disguise of words of blessings. She wanted to remind me she had known him for years while we were only married for two.
I decided to play along with the b*tch and answered, “It’s not a big deal since you’re my beloved cousin.”
“You look so gorgeous today, Yvonne,” Crystal complimented with a sincere smile, behaving as though she meant every word she had said.
“Oh, stop it. I’ll never be as good-looking as you!” Actually, the moment those from the studio dolled me up, I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at myself in the mirror. It turned out I was still above average in terms of look.
“You stop it… Anyway, since our last meeting was ages ago, care to join me for a glass of drink? Consider it a drink of celebration for your marriage.”
I was unable to turn her down as she gulped down her drink the moment she handed me mine. When I was about to finish mine, I felt someone pushing me from behind.
As I staggered and fell, Crystal was caught in the aftermath because she was right in front of me. I ended up spilling the entire glass of wine all over her dress. The moment I turned around, I found out Yvette was behind everything. She smirked at me, gloating over my misfortune and the things awaiting me.
