My Sweet Seduction

He’s Drunk

UDDENLY, MY CELLPHONE rang because of Cindy’s call.

“Hello, Margaux?”

I immediately noticed the noisy background on the other line.

“Oh, why?!”

“Come here now!” she said hysterically.

I suddenly woke up in bed because of the tone of her voice.

“Where?”

“Here in Eastwood, in the Royal Highs Subdivision. Just say Carrick’s name to the guard!” After she

said that, she turned off the call.

Though confused, I obeyed what she said. I headed to the place Cindy was talking about. Gradually I

got an idea of what was going on, but I did not want to make a conclusion about it until I had no

concrete evidence.

In a few moments, I reached the place she says. I looked up at the mansion, where a party was taking

place.

I tried to call Cindy, but I could not contact her. As she said, I mentioned Carrick’s name to the guard,

so I went inside.

The front yard is already crowded with guests. Others are completely drunk. I tried to go around looking

for Cindy. My eyes wandered to the large pool where a lot of women are wearing only a bikini.

I looked down at the jeans I was wearing and the white T-shirt. Anyone will be distracted by what I am

wearing because it is inappropriate on occasion.

I tried to go inside the house, and there, I found her dancing. I quickly approached her with a trace of

shock when I saw her.

“Margaux, you’re here!” she exclaimed.

Suddenly she pulled me by the arm and led me to a corner where very few men were.

“Do you and Lawrence have a problem?” Cindy asked me in a low tone.

“I don’t know. We haven’t met all day. We’re supposed to have lunch together, but Franco and I met.”

“Damn it!” she cursed sharply.

It was there that I became very nervous, especially when her eyes rolled as if she was looking for

something.

“Cindy, what is happening?!” I asked with my raised voice.

“He’s with Elliesse! I saw them together earlier. I don’t know if they came here at the same time, but All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Lawrence is so drunk!”

I rubbed my forehead. What the fuck is he doing here? I do not remember Lawrence and I have a

problem. So how did it happen that he and Elliesse were together?

“Let’s find out!” Cindy pulled me hard and wrestled with the dancers.

I quickly turned to a table near the swimming pool. And there, Lawrence sits in front of a few bottles of

wine.

My heart slaughter as I saw him with Elliesse at one of the bungalows near the pool.

“Lawrence?!” I approached him, who looked up at me. His dark eyes bore into mine, and because of its

extreme darkness, I could not breathe properly.

“Well, well, well. The fiancée is here. You didn’t tell me that this woman is always on your tail wherever

you go,” Elliesse stated, who’s wearing a pair of bikinis hugging only a thin fabric.

“Can we talk?” I could hear the trembling in my voice as I spoke to Lawrence.

He looked up at me, and I looked into his eyes. But it was like nothing was there to behold. He just

gave me a bitter smile before standing up.

We went inside the mansion in silence.

“What are you doing here with Elliesse?” Finally, I have the courage to speak.

He just shook his head. “We’ve just met here.”

I let out a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

“Why are you getting drunk? What’s the matter?!”

My tongue hovered over my lips before looking up.

He was like that for a few minutes before looking down at me. And I saw the fire in his eyes that

already melted me inside.

“Dad wants to take everything I worked for. He wants to give Franco everything,” he said while

clenching his jaw.

I covered my mouth at what I heard. I don’t quite think his own father could do it himself just to separate

us.

“And what’re those photos having lunch with my brother? Is he also planning to snatch you from me?”

he said in a baritone voice.

“W-we’re not doing anything wrong. We’ve just talked. What photos are you saying? Who gave you

those photos? Is that Elliesse, am I right?!” I raised my voice.

“They planned this, your dad, Elliesse, and Franco!” I said furiously.

I quickly left him to go back inside.

I have enough. After this, I will not allow Elliesse to take any further steps to ruin our relationship.

I quickly looked for Elliesse inside, and my eyes hit her on the side of the pool talking to a man. My

eyes immediately heated up with anger because of her loud laughter.

I didn’t think twice. I took big steps to approach her. I violently grabbed her arm, causing her to be

surprised.

“You planned this, do you? You took a picture of me while I was having lunch with Franco, then you

showed it to Lawrence!” I said through clenched teeth.

“What are you talking about? I’m not as desperate as you to flirt with the Saavedra brothers!” she shot

back. She seems to be expecting my approach.

“And you also send me those photos of you with Lawrence?! Who is cheap now, huh?”

She twitched her brows and looked at me with disgust. “Didn’t you like it? It’s a pity you didn’t come

early. You would have seen how sweet we were!” Smirked grew over her face.

“I warn you. This is the last time you will mess with Lawrence because if you repeat this, I don’t know

what I will do to you!”

Her grin widened, and she looked at me secretly and violently pulled her arm towards me.

“Should I be afraid? If anyone should be afraid here, it’s you because you will lose everything. I’m sure

Lawrence will not give up what he has just to marry you. Another thing, are you not ashamed? You also

squeeze yourself into Lawrence. Even though he should really marry me!”

“Well, nice try, Elliesse. Last time I checked, I am the fianceé.” I smirked. I raised my hand in front of

her, where I wore my engagement ring there.

“You only say that because you have a child, you just had a baby, so don’t act like you already own

Lawrence!” she fired back with a hitched brows. The grin also played on her lips.

I glare at her. “How dare you?!” My voice rose.

There, she gained the courage to face me with her crossed arms, twitching brows, and lips settled into

a mocking smirked.

“Why? Does it hurt to know that Lawrence is only pursuing you because of your bastard son?!”

My eyes widened at what she said. I was shaken to the core. She knew my weak spots and deepest

pains. She knew very well how to attack me with such words. But I quickly postured myself and raised

eyebrows as I looked at her.

“You can never be me, Elliesse. You were just part of Lawrence’s past. I am the one he loves now and

will be loved in the coming days. No matter what you do, you can never take him away from me!”

“Yes, but it’s just because you have Lawrence’s child, and that’s what you use to get him closer! How

poor are you, Margaux!” she said sarcastically.

I grab her arm again. “No matter what you do, you will never win. Wake up. You’re not on a fairytale,

making love with your knight and shining armor!” I sarcastically said. I didn’t even think twice when I

pushed her into the swimming pool.

She got the attention of the guests, who seemed surprised at what I did.

“You son of bitch!” she screamed as she lifted her head out of the water.

“That’s what you deserve, asshole!”
