Chapter 4 4

"Everyone, my fiance's nervous. Please excuse us." Shane said and took the disguised bodyguard out of the limelight.

The spot light now fixated on the chairperson once again and he started giving a few remarks

"Party like it is your last!" he finally said, and many cheered.

Shane took the bodyguard to the bar.

"Stay here. Need to deal with something." he said while giving her a wink.

" Alright. I'll wait for you." she said with a smile and Shane left.

"Oh shane!" the bodyguard mumbled 'lovingly' on purpose. Sure enough, the moment Shane left, Nerissa and her group came over to the bar. Nerissa looked like she took vinegar.

"You ugly bitch! She cussed at the bodyguard, thinking it was the real Cheryl.

"Thanks for the compliment. I was able to capture the prince charming, but the fairy couldn't. It's indeed a shame, but nothing can be done anymore. He's got only me in his heart. Shane said that you were blind the last time we met. You still haven't treated your eyes? No wonder you need these ladies to escort you." she sighed in pity, infuriating Nerissa.

"You... how dare you speak such words of disrespect to me?"

"Do you know who l am?" Nerissa said with spite.

"I never cared to know about a support. I'm the crucial lead who captured the prince charming, ok?" 'Cheryl' said with a provoking grin.

"How dare you?" one of Nerissa's group wanted to hit the bodyguard on her face, but she held the hand and put it down.

"5 pigs and one vulture. This makes me lose my appetite." 'Cheryl' yawned.

Nerissa immediately poured her glass of red wine on Cheryl's hair. The others threw their wine onto her face too. Now, both her hair and face were wet.

"You... you..." she pointed at them in 'ire'.

"Sorry, our hands slipped. It was an accident. Show us some mercy, will you?" Nerissa mocked, and the girls snickered.

"You have done what you prepared for me. It's my turn now. I also have a gift for you, my dears." Cheryl smiled as she got up from her seat.

"Please Missy, always recall this till you are gone the worms."

With that, she gave Nerissa six fast, inescapable punches on her right cheek.

The other girls screamed, attracting everyone's attention

The music stopped, and the spotlight was on them. All saw that the right cheek of Nerissa was swollen red.

They gasped in shock and looked at 'Cheryl' With new eyes.

"Miss, how can you use violence at a party?" the chairperson asked coldly.

"You must be blind, Chairman. Look at me! They drenched me in wine, called my ancestors bitches and wizards, and threatened to burn me alive. Can't I become angry? lm not some robot." 'Cheryl' defended, looking sorrowful, like she was about to cry.

"You are slandering us. Don't believe her lies." one of Nerissa's friends with dyed gray hair, said.

"I slandered you guys? That is the biggest joke l ever heard. For saying that..." 'Cheryl' landed a fierce punch on Nerissa's left cheek and then twisted her right arm, causing her to scream in agony.

Nerissa could not believe that Cheryl was this strong. So does that mean brother Shane liked

savage women like her? That's why he wants to marry her?

"No one can stop me tonight." the female bodyguard said as she beat the other 5 girls and broke each of their arms in a matter of seconds.

Then she tore Nerissa's clothes and ruined her hair, cutting a part of it with scissors.

"What's going on here?" Shane had returned. Nerissa smiled in her heart when she heard his voice.

"I am his childhood friend. Surely, he can't stand seeing me in this state. I'll now number your days with him, bitch." she thought, and started crying bitterly.

"What happened?" Shane asked again when he got to the scene.

"Brother Shane, she beat me up. Just because we asked her to show us some dance moves." she cried

Many began to murmur. What Cheryl and Nersisa said were different. Who was telling the truth then? Shane turned to 'Cheryl' and asked:

"Why did you do that? Have you gone bonkers? How can you do this at a party? And when did you learn martial arts? He asked in disbelief.

"You are right to ask me. l am not the real Cheryl. I've hidden her somewhere you can't find easily. Dare you lay your hands on me ... you know what will happen." she threatened.

"Are you saying that my Shane can't find me?"

A soft ethereal voice was heard and they all turned to look at the entrance.

Someone had entered wearing a pink veil that covered her being from head to toe. The spotlight was on her immediately and many were curious to know who she was. Was the true Cheryl? The true fiance of Shane Whitlock?

As if to confirm their doubt, Shane to walked towards the newcomer and took off the veil gently.

Everyone gasped. This newcomer was a goddess! So beautiful. How could such a person exist? Where Was she hiding all along?

"Everyone, this is my true fiance," he announced, holding her hand up.

"Wow! She's indeed a match for you, bro!"

"You've got a good eye."

Many showered praises at Cherry and she blushed, causing their hearts to flutter like butterfly wings.

Seeing this, the fake Cheryl took off her mask and announced:

"That's right. I'm sir Shane's body guard. He knew that Nerissa would try to harm the future madam, so he devised this plan. Luckily, Nerissa here did not fail to play her role. Forgive me for being a party spoiler earlier. I shall now take my leave, sir. The bodyguard retreated from the hall.

Nerissa, who was still on the floor, was seething with anger

How could this be? So just now the person they wanted to bully so badly was a bodyguard., The one they were supposed to embarrass was untouched and looking hot. She was even the star of attention while she and her crew were reduced to this pitiful state.

Nerissa could not reconcile with such fact. She gritted her teeth in ire. Many were throwing disgusted looks at her like she was some uninvited pig who crashed a party to cause a scene. Those bastards were rotten hypocrites inside out!

"Please take these miserable souls to get treament. The bill's on me." Shane said.

Immediately, some men came forward and carried the battered girls on their shoulders. Then they left the hall.

"You will pay for this! I don't accept this ending. You will regret, Shane! I hate you Cheryl. You bitch! I wish you'd be cut by a thousand daggers." Nerissa yells soon faded as the men had taken her and her group far away.

Shane then turned to face the others.

"Everyone, we apologise for the trouble. To compensate, please allow me and my beloved Cheryl to grace you with my latest song. We'll be singing 'Black moon sighing over the red rose!" he said.

Hearing this, the audience cheered enthusiatically.

Shane Whitlock was singing tonight? Ah, this is something rare! He's got a mesmerising voice and it's been long since he sang in public. This new song was definitely going to be a blast. They were super lucky. They pitied those friends who refused to show up. What a big treat they missed!

Many took out their phones to record. They didn't want to miss any second of his singing. Plus they were going to hear another voice too from his fiance. They wondered if her voice was as good as his.

Shane took his fiance to the stage where they were given two microphones.

The blue curtains behind them were drawn up to reveal instruments and musicians, all sitting and waiting for the signal.

At once the audience cheered.

"So, Mr Shane Whitlocj planned to throw a concert tonight. What a nice surprise. We appreciate it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us." the chairman of the event said.

Shane and Cheryl looked at each other for a moment with bright smiles which soon faltered. They then turned around with their backs to each other.

One of the musicians started playing his accordion slowly and Shane loudly sighed.

He and Cheryl had a sorrowful aura instantly.
