Chapter 3 New Thing

Adriana decided to reject the idea just like always, she'd always thought of being with the one she love, and that was the one that saved her from bullies eleven years ago, he was ruthless when he dealt with the guys just like a knight in shining amor.

He held her in his arms gave a hard kick to the bullies, if only she didn't pass out. However, when she tried to see his face everything became all fuzzy. Then she passed out and woke up in the hospital, Adriana had pledged her life to her benefactor and he is the only man in her heart for making her childhood worthwhile.

Although she had no idea who he was but she was determined to find him and court him.

Adriana looked up at the couple whose faces had traces of nervousness and chuckled, "mum, dad, my thought remains the same. You both know how I hate arranged marriage, I can't be in such a relationship that was arranged by my grandparents when I was still a child and had no idea about it" she said flatly while watching the reactions of her parents.

"You don't have a say in this, you're getting married into the McKenzie's family and that's final. Prepare for that" Benjamin's cold voice resounded with a warning in his tone after taking a deep breath, he'd never wanted to hurt his daughters feelings.

However, this is about business and also between both families. It would be of great assistance in the business sector if both families are joined by marriage.

Although the Yale and McKenzie families are well off on their own they could dominate the world and the business sector if both families are joined in marriage, the people would tremble at the mention of both families that was the thought of the old patriarch from both families, 'getting stronger in friendship and dominating the world together' Adriana scoffed and stood up from her seat.

She bit her lips sadly and cast a gaze towards her parents.

"since you've already decided it why bother calling me up to the terrace like I've got a say to this? You could notify me just like you did now, rather than making me walk up the glass stairs." Adriana hissed, locked her eyes in an attempt to hold back the displeasure that she felt.

"I'm going to say this for the last time, I'm not getting into any arranged marriage. You and mum can easily have another child and hand her over to the McKenzie's" Adriana huffed and stormed out of the terrace.

Benjamin face contorted with anger that his face flushed, he wanted to speak more but nothing came out, he'd only balled his fist while Elizabeth caressed his chest.

"Don't bother about her little tantrums, she will understand our good intentions. Let's give her some time. You see that she just got back from New Haven after four years and would only want to spend time with us but we ended up bringing up marriage, we should do this another day" Elizabeth Yale asserted as she was out to pacify her husband and make sure an argument didn't ensue in the villa.

Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief and turned to his wife with doting eyes, "you know what's best, I'll leave it to you, speak to her later.

This matter can't be suspended or the McKenzie's would think we're putting them on suspense" Mr. Yale mumbled tiredly while they were walking down the glass stairs with their arms clasped together.

Adriana stepped into her room fuming angrily with a flushed face, she threw herself on the queen size bed and groaned, "all I got for running back home after school to see mum and dad" she huffed sarcastically, "how ironically to think they had missed me the way I did" Adriana was devastated that she mocked herself for being so lame, abruptly her eyes stopped at the luggage that was placed next to the vanity table.

The driver took the luggage upstairs immediately they arrived at the mansion. She stood up from the bed and moved to the vanity table, and within a few seconds the luggage was unpacked.

Adriana was all excited, dying to know the outfit Alicia had prepared for her, she hurriedly rummaged through all the luggage and found the outfit in the third one.

"Phew! Alas, here it is" Adriana flashed a smile and tore the package. She never thought of attending the after-exam party but with what was happening at home she needed a break from her family and hanging out with Alicia and her classmates was the best idea for tonight. Suddenly her eyeball popped out of it's socket, She was stunned seeing the kind of outfit prepared by her best friend, "what the fuck is this?" Adriana screamed, checking out the black sleeveless flare gown that stopped at her thigh. It could barely cover her ass.

That'd be tiring for her because as she couldn't be free walking around while her butt is visible. While checking out the outfit a shiny leather fell out of the black gown.

'What could it be?' Adriana arched her brow thoughtfully wondering if Alicia was up to no good. Finally she decided to see what was inside the shiny leather, it was a black rope lingerie. Adriana scoffed and threw it on the bed.

"What a joke! I'll definitely deal with her" she asserted with a knitted brow.

"Beep" her cellphone rang, that was a call from Alicia.

She had arrived home shortly and had been making preparations for the night party. Mr. Walton and Mrs. Walton went out of town thereby giving Alicia the chance to prepare for the event, she barely had time to contact Adriana.

Apparently, now she was done with the preparations what clicked into her mind was her best friend, 'she must have seen the outfit I prepared for her by now, I wonder if she liked it?' She picked up her cell phone and dialed Adriana's number, at the same time Adriana was also trying to contact Alicia.

Immediately Alicia's call popped in, she was startled for a while before connecting the call after recovering from shock. "What the heck Alicia! You want me to dress like a whore and attend the after-exam party, are you being serious?" Adriana yelled at the other end of the line immediately after the call connected.

'Fuck! This girl is something else. When Is she going to change her nerdy lifestyle?' Alicia rolled her eyes and said softly.

"That's the dress code, like I said before: it's a costume party. If you don't dress in that outfit you won't be allowed in even if you're my best friend, I can't allow you to look all nerdy and rejected. That's not acceptable, you have to embrace a new lifestyle and future. Remember, if you care about me you must attend the party." Alicia asserted in one breath, hopefully, Adriana would accept the whole ordeal after all she don't want to stay back at home and watch her parents prepare her marriage to a man she knew nothing about, besides spending time with her best friend is one of the best thing she could ever think of. Although they just parted a few hours ago, it felt like ages, that was how close they've become.

"Fine! Don't mess with me again or you would bear the consequences" Adriana warned her best friend and let out a deep breath.

"Well, see you by eight p.m. I'm going to get back to work, I love you" Alicia blew kisses to her, Adriana chuckled and sent a few kisses back to Alicia before ending the call.

"Well, there is nothing bad about trying new things. I'm a grown ass woman, I should at least have fun till it lasts." She beamed, placed the outfit on the sofa and started arranging her dresses in the closet.
