The party was going well. The guests were enjoying themselves socializing. But the host and Scarlett were missing. Diana was not calm when she realized her husband and Scarlett are not here.
'Who knows what that woman is doing to my man.' Diana thought as she approached Elizabeth.
"Mom, where is Alex? " Diana asked. Elizabeth only smiled sweetly.
"I think Alex is talking to some business partner after all it's a business party." Elizabeth responded. Diana scoffed not hiding her anger.
"Dear there are guests as the daughter in law of the Harrison family you need to have manners and class. I will leave you to it." Elizabeth said and patted Diana's shoulder then left.
Diana was angry. She felt like Elizabeth humiliated her.
'Was she saying I don't have class. I'm Diana. I have class. That woman dared to insult me.' Diana thought.
"Child what's wrong? You look upset." Mrs Sinclair said as she approached Diana with her husband following behind.
"Mom I'm looking for Alex and you know that Scarlett is missing also from the party. I'm worried she might try to seduce my husband." Diana complained.
"But she is pregnant." Mrs Sinclair responded as Diana scoffed.
"Mom, you don't know anything. Do you know she makes Alex caress her baby bump. On our wedding night there were together late at night while Alex was massaging her can you imagine." Diana said through gritted teeth
"You are right child. That woman is a threat. Don't worry, I have a plan to ruin her." Mrs Sinclair said as Diana smirked.
She plans on ruining Scarlett no matter what it takes.
Meanwhile on the dance floor Isla was dancing with Liam. Her cheeks were red as a tomato while Liam chuckled at her cuteness.
"Why are you so cute?" Liam said softly as Isla looked at him with a smile.
"I want to be the cutest only to you." Isla responded.
"And you are the only woman I will ever look at. The only woman who has my heart." Liam said while looking at Isla who was also looking in his eyes.
Liam was leaning slowly as Isla closed her eyes. Their lips were about to connect when.
"WHAT. THE. FUCK!" They both got startled and saw Max glaring at Liam.
He separates them and scoffed. "Shameless. Liam, you are my best friend but you dare to kiss my little sister in front of me. Don't you have any manners?!" Max said as Isla rolled her eyes.
"Please as if you don't fuck Scarlett's friend. That blonde. Should I tell your mother and brother? " Liam said with a smirk.
Max's eyes were wide wondering how his secret got exposed and how this best friend got to know of his secret.
"Hmm what now tough boy? Not so tough now are we." Liam said as Isla laughed at her brother.
Max scoffed and left the two alone. Isla giggled and hugged Liam.
"Baby you are too much." Isla said as Liam chuckled and hugged her back.
Liam and Isla have been dating for three years. They grew up together so they loved each other since childhood. Liam was that overprotective— possessive friend.
Isla obviously loved it but complained. When Liam stopped being all over her, our dear Isla couldn't take it and confessed to him. Lucky for her, Liam was also in love with her.

Max angrily reached the balcony and looked outside. He was angry— not really that his secret was known. The girl talked about was Monica Garcia.
She was a close friend to Scarlett. They went to high school and college together. There were not really close but they respected each other. They became close after college.
Max saw her when she came to visit Scarlett at the Harrison mansion a year ago. The man decided to court the girl.
Max was smoking when he felt hands on his torso. He stiffened. The touch was unfamiliar — unwelcome.
He crushed his cigarette and looked at the person hugging him turns out it's Bella. His face turned dark as he pushed her away.
"Who the fuck are you?!" Max said coldly as Bella smiled shamelessly.
"I'm Bella, the best friend of your sister in law, Diana." She responded with a seductive smile.
"And why are you here? Who the fuck gave you the right to touch me?" Max said coldly.
Bella felt shivers down her spine but she wanted this man no matter what. She masked her fear with a seductive smile.
"Max, let's get to know each other. I'm Bella. Actually I'm a big fan. I have always liked you for years." Bella said sweetly.
"Get the fuck out." Max said glaring at her. Bella not used to rejection couldn't let this go.
"I can do anything you know. Anything you want." Bella said suggestively.
Max rolled his eyes and left the place leaving her standing there.
Bella clenched her fists then looked at the garden outside and spotted two people kissing. Her eyes widened wondering who they were. The spot was kind dark so she couldn't see exactly who the person is.
"Gross. But I will make Max mine. I need Diana's help." Bella said as she left the balcony.

Alexander was standing at the door of the hall as the guests left one by one. As the host he was there to send them off.
After his little encounter with Scarlett he returned to the hall because he has been gone for too long.
"Thank you for coming." He said to one of the guests as they left the Harrison mansion. Almost all the guests left expect for the Sinclair family and Bella.
"Thank you for coming mother in law and father in law." Alexander said with respect as the Sinclair smiled in satisfaction.
"Hunny can my parents and Bella sleep over? Actually we didn't get to spend enough time together." Diana said hooking her arm with Alexander's.
"Of course. Why not? Marie will prepare your rooms." Elizabeth responded instead.
The Sinclair family smiled in satisfaction so did Bella.
'Finally I can sleep over at this huge ass mansion.' Mrs Sinclair thought with a smug look.
...tbc...
I also had to write about other characters. We cannot only focus on Scarlett, Alexander and Diana.
What do you think of Max and Liam? Dramatic much.
