CHAPTER 48: Birthday gift.
“Wow, Riri, you look gorgeous!” Kim squeaked.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Great job, Beth, you’re the best!” Beth was actually a makeup artiste. Her mom is a great makeup artiste, so she just learned a thing or two from her. While Kimberly never really paid much attention to it.
Riri glanced at herself in her dressing mirror, and she was amazed by what she saw. She was exceptionally beautiful!
“It’s no big deal. I mean, Riri is already stunning without makeup. I just applied a light makeup on her face! It’s not my skills sis, it’s the face of the person that is beautiful!” She pointed out.
“Thanks Bethany.” Riri rose to her feet in smiles, and then she took off her dressing robe, unveiling the beautiful ruby red ball gown she had on.
The dress was a deep V necked off shoulder long sleeved gown that showed off a fair amount of her cleavage. The bodice of the gown were decorated with numerous small and shinning red sapphire stones while the puffy and floor length skirt were designed with shiny diamond stones all arranged in a beautiful pattern. The gown was beautiful and shinny and so fucking enchanting. But the person wearing the dress was even more enchanting!
Her brown curly waist length hair was arranged in beautiful cascades of a half up half down hairstyle. She looked as radiant as a princess, all that was missing was her tiara.
She was also wearing a beautiful pair of ruby red stilettos with diamond pieces scattered on it, giving it a shinny appearance.
“You’re so pretty, muah!” Lia gushed, blowing her kisses.
“Thanks sweeties. Although I feel this was totally unnecessary, I never liked extravagant stuffs!”
“I know darling. But you have to represent your family. I can’t wait to see the look on people’s faces when they see you. You look like an angel!”
“Stop exaggerating! You are being flattery!” She scolded.
“They are not exaggerations, Riri, you are gorgeous. If I were a man, I would marry you straight up!” Kim exclaimed. They were all being so crazy!
A knock came on the door, interrupting their conversation.
“Who’s there?” She questioned.
“It’s me.” Her dad’s voice came from outside her room.
“Come in, dad!” The door knob twisted, and the door opened, and he immediately walked in. He was dressed in a red tuxedo. He looked as handsome and ravishing as always.
“We will leave you two to have your father and daughter moment!” Kim said, dragging her friend and sister out of the room.
“Wow, you look stunning, my little princess.” He gave her a slight peck on her cheeks.
“You look ravishing, dad. I bet mom can’t wait for the party to be over, so she could get her claws on you!” She smirked.
“Yeah, she even tried to rape me just now!” He winked.
“Don’t tell her I said this, but mom is crazy!” She whispered.
“It would be our little secret, darling,” he mumbled.
She chuckled, nervously. “Okay!”
“Nervous?” He asked, keeping her under his steady gaze.
“A bit!” She took in a deep breath and breathed out loudly. He cast her a not so convincing glance, and she was forced to say the truth.
“Okay, you got me, dad. I am very nervous! This is a lot to take in.”
“I know you don’t like the crowd, and I’m deeply sorry that I have to drag you into this! I don’t know how this happened. Luckily, I found out in time, else it would have been a big shame!” He sighed.
“It’s alright. I understand, it’s not your fault! But all of this was unnecessary, I mean this is far too expensive…”
“Shh, what’s the use of having this much money and not spending it? You deserve it, sweetie!” He said, taking her hands into his.
“Thanks dad. This means a lot to me.” She leaned in and equally pecked his cheeks.
“Also, Blake asked me to get give you this.” He gave her a fancy bag.
She brought out the contents of the bag anxiously and placed it on her table. She opened it and what she found made her jaws drop.
“Dad! Oh my God!” She screamed, excitedly.
It was a customized jewelry set of red diamonds. In the box was a red diamond tiara, red diamond earrings and necklace and a bracelet and a ten-carat red diamond ring.
Her eyes nearly popped out when she saw the price tag. Sixty-five million dollars! What the hell!
And here she was saying that her dad was being extravagant! This way too extravagant! Blake always sent her expensive gifts, so she didn’t really mind. He liked spoiling her.
She took out the card in the box, and it read: ‘Hope you like it, my love. I also got one more surprise for you, it would arrive this evening. Happy birthday!’
She flushed slightly. What more surprises did he have in stock for her? She suddenly felt bad. He was the only one sending gifts, while she never sent him any gift. How could she? She had never set eyes on him before. Maybe she could give her parents the gift to pass to him.
“He wants you to wear it to the ball.”
“Is he coming?” Her eyes lit up. Yes, but not as Blake, but as Drake!
“Nah,” he replied, and she bowed her head, feeling downcast.
“I’m sorry, darling. Don’t feel sad. Blake has big plans for you. I promise you!” What’s the use of sending her so many gifts and not being able to know what her boyfriend looks like? She was getting sick and tired of his hide and seek games. Perhaps it was time she played a little game of her own!
“It’s alright. I will wear it right away! Also, please give this to Blake!” She gave him a small gift box wrapped with a red wrapper.
“Okay, I will make sure he gets it.” He nodded.
“Thanks, dad!” She hugged him tight.
“I will leave it to you then.” He glanced at her once more before walking out of her room, and he swore he could see a glimpse of hurt in her eyes.
One thing was for sure, he certainly didn’t like the game Blake was playing! And he hated to see his daughter get hurt!
