Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

"Come on, the party is about to start." at last he put his phone on his pocket and hold my hand instead. He helps me stand up and cling my arms on his.

"Stay by my side, okay?" he said

"Okay" that's exactly what I'm planning to do.

When we arrived at the venue, we are welcomed by a lot of cameras of the medias that will cover the event. I am almost blinded by the lights and flashes.

"Deus and his girl"

"My first time seeing her. She's pretty and looks angelic"

"She's gorgeous as hell"

"They look perfect together"

I heard many more opinions in the crowd. They are taking lots of photos of us.

"We'll walk a little faster. Careful" he holds my waist as he guided me out of the crowd. The media is not allowed to go to our tables because they have designated place.

We walked around and meet a lot of people. I am tired walking and smiling. I don't want to look unapproachable so I am making sure that I am smiling all the time.

"Hey, Deus." a man from another table waved at us.

"Let's meet my friends." Deus said and walked to them.

"Hey, our lover boy is here." they teases him. Maybe they are really his friends because they are not afraid to joke around him.

"Shut up" Deus is so serious but his friends just laugh at his coldness.

"What a beautiful lady, hey miss I'm Keiji. Nice to finally meet you. Our brother here is so damn in love with you." he offered his hand and I was about to accept when Deus hit his hand away.

"Damn possessive motherfucker. What's wrong in shaking hands with her?" he protested and it gain another laugh from his friends.

"I'm Jarren" the man with a blue hair waved at me.

"I'm Cole, the most handsome of them all" another guy introduce himself

"I'm Leira, Cole's girlfriend." the beautiful and sophisticated lady give me a quick hug

"I'm Helena, the muse of the group" a very tall lady hug me as well.

"I'm Heaven Amelie, Ellie for short. Nice meeting you all" I smiled at them

"She's too nice for you bro. Sounds angelic, looks angelic. How does she managed to live with a demon like you?" Keiji is teasing him again

"Get yourself a girlfriend dumbass and stop meddling with my life" Deus intertwined his fingers to mine. It sends shivers to my whole body.

"Tss, why get a girlfriend if I can still get laid without commitments. Girls have the tendency to get so damn clingy and I'll hate that for sure." Keiji said. His friends are all good looking. They have this aura same as supermodels.

We sit and laughed with them for a while. When the party officially started, we needed to go and sit with his family. I saw Namika looking beautiful with her black night gown.

"Hey, Ellie. I haven't seen you in a while. You look so beautiful as ever." she let go of his boyfriends grip on his hips and run to me for a hug.

"Babe walk slowly." Primo said loudly.

"I miss you" he pushed Deus away from me and hug me tighter.

"I miss you too" I said ang hug her.

"How's life and school?" she said as she let go of me. He pulled me to sit beside her.

"Stressful. I've been doing a lot of things lately" I said and I am confused with her actions. She is staring weirdly at me.

"You look like a princess. Babe, look at her" She called Primo and forced him to look at me.

"Isn't she the prettiest girl in here? Aww can I pinched your cheeks?" she asked but before I even say yes her fingers are already on my cheeks. She is pinching my cheeks nonstop like it was a clay dough. She's acting weird.

"Pretty Ellie." she keeps on saying that while playing with my cheeks. She's looking so happy while doing it.

"Babe, enough, you're hutting her" Primo carefully removed her hands off my cheeks.

"No..." Namika withdraw her hands from him looking like she's about to cry.

What's happening in here. I look at Deus and he just shrugged his shoulders also clueless.

"I don't want to see you. Stay away. I only want to see Ellie. Go away" Namika shouted at him and pushing him away. She clings into my arms tightly. Primo is shaking his head and taking deep breaths.

Lovers Quarrel?

"I don't want his smell. It's awful. I don't want to see him; he is irritating me. I don't want him near me." Namika whispered at me.

"Did you two had a fight?" I asked her concerned.

"No, we didn't. I am not just in the mood." she said pouting. I can't believe her.

She never leaves my side. She is clinging to me the whole time. Primo is getting a little mad at her act.

"Stand up now Namika. We need to greet some guests. Come on" Namika is shaking her head.
