Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Where is Mandy? Edward asked as the sit at the dinning.

Sorry sir, she said she is not hungry. The chef said, Edward stand to go to her but Susan held his hand.

Honey let her be, she will be fine.

What if she is not? Edward asked, Susan look at him, Edward sighed and sit, he too couldn't eat, he left the dinning leaving Susan and Sharon, Susan sighed, she is sharing her husband with her daughter and it's obvious Edward love Mandy more than anyone.

Don't worry, soon you will have him all to yourself and that will be victory for you. Sharon reassure her mother.

The next morning, Mandy is still sulking, she sit at the window of her, staring out through the window but everything is blank to her, nothing seems to make her happy, her favorite television channel didn't interest her, she lie on the floor of her room, she cry, she wants the tears to stop but it's not stopping, she slip into her trouser and a t-shirt, she is heading out.

Where are you going again? Sharon asked her, she didn't say a word, she just dart outside, she enter her car, she drove to Noor, right in front of his apartment, she wanted to hit the door but she turned and enter her car, she try calling him but he had blocked her, her tears drop, she zoom off, she forget to lock her car door, which is unlike her, she go to the garden, she watch the stars, for the first time in her life, she felt so empty like a space box. Her tears drop, remembering the stars in Noor room, she run back inside and lock herself.

Lauren is trying to fixed some stuff for the marriage, he needed to, he is the type that want his stuff done properly and perfectly since it's a societal marriage, everything need to be in place.

Hey bro, what are you up to? Larry asked as he jumped on the couch. I want to fixed the wedding venue...

I don't think that is necessary, dad had fixed it, the only thing, he want is for you and your bride to be there

Alright, I will check for the venue if it suit me, I need an international stylist to fixed yours and my suit, our shoes; our...

Slow down, what is your bride wear? He press his lips together, he haven't really thought of her.

Yes big brother, where is your ring? Lisa said as she too jumped on Lauren. You, do you want to break my back?

Oh please, you are too rocky to be broken, so what is her ring size? Larry burst in laughter hearing their beloved kid sister words, he is aware that Lauren had no idea about that, he doesn't fucking have an idea of what she is after their last discuss

How am I supposed to know? Lauren said indifferent, he never thought of that. I got an idea, let's go pick her to get the ring.

Crazy, who go with her girl to get a ring? Larry said. It's not engagement, it's wedding, she already knows you two are getting married.

She added, Lauren smiled, he hardly smiled but at this point in time, he just smiled.

Let's call her.

So you have her number? Lauren asked she shrugged.

Anyways, we go there tomorrow but I don't see...

Lauren! Larry called him, he wanted to object the idea of going to get Mandy for a ring

Fine, I will pick her tomorrow, three of us. Lauren said as he pick his stuff.

Why not today? Lisa just want to see how her would-be sister in law look like.

No Lisa not today. Lauren said he open the door, his security are ready to go after him.

How does she look? Lisa voice came up as Larry also want to head out. She is simple and cute.

This words of Larry make her excitement to grow, although she is the daughter of the richest man in Singapore and the second most richest man in the world, she is still very humble but to the outside world, all the three kids of Daniel are brat, the eldest must be a monster that is while no one knows his face, the other son is too full of himself, that is the reason he never had a girlfriend and the only girl among them, she has no friends, they are in world of their own.

Edward return the next day, since the incident, he is spending most of his time at his guesthouse, he doesn't want to see his special daughter heart broken.

Where is my angel? He asked as they sit to eat at the dinning. She is locked in her room.

Who thy fuck lock my princess? Edward yelled. No one, she did it herself. Edward stand in anger, he was about to dart to Mandy's room after getting the spare keys, he is surprise to see the masked Lauren, his brother and kid sister.

Sir, what...

I came to see my bride. Lauren said, his words were strange forward without respect.

Good evening sir! Lisa and Larry greet.

Welcome, you all should sit. Susan response, Lauren roll his eyes, what is his business with respect? He takes his hand off his pocket still standing while Lisa and Larry are seated.

I want to...

Sure, but sit let me get her. Edward said, he doesn't freaking want to get on this monster bad side.

I thought you are having a family meal... Lauren is talking too much now, Larry dragged his shirt abit to stop him for saying his last words that might sound offensive.

The thing is, the young lady is sulking she doesn't want to marry you because you are a...

You should learn to mind your business. Mandy said as she walked down from the hallway, one of the maid had informed her that Lauren is there, so she decided to come down; she wasn't wearing anything fancy but she is beautiful and her hair is not well kept, the way she walked makes Lauren ogle too much on her.

Sorry, you should sit. Mandy said, He too doesn't seem to understand himself, why is he lusting on her, he shakes his head.

Sure! He sit as the maid arrange juice for them, Sharon went to bring the family album for them to watch.

Hey handsome, my name is Sharon, I am her elder sister.

Oh, sorry for our bad matters, I am Larry, he is Lauren, my big brother and this is our kid sister Lisa.

Nice to...

So Larry, you are the second? Lisa wanted to talk to her but she had interrupt her, she doesn't really need to have a conversation with Lisa, she is too small for her, Larry look at her, he knows his sister is feeling bad, Lauren didn't notice because his eyes is fixed on Mandy, he knows something is wrong but he just can't place it.

Lisa right? Mandy asked her, she nodded, still feeling down. You are cute and your dress, did you make it yourself? She notice it's a weave dress from a wool.

Yes, I did it myself.

Really? I have been trying to make one but I just can't get it right, maybe, you could teach me. Mandy said, Lisa smiled, her mood is lighting, in a second she and Mandy are like old Friends while Lauren is watching picture with Larry, Susan and Edward are at the other end watching movie, he wasn't paying attention to the faces in the album but then he notice none of Mandy picture are there.

There, this is when we went for vocation at Florida and this is one is on my graduation. Sharon keeps explaining why pressing his arm against hers.

What about this? Larry asked.

Oh, this is when I won most beautiful model in the modeling world, it's lovely right

Yes! Whoa! So many lovely memories. Larry said as the album finally came to an end.

So which of my...

Why is Mandy not in any of the pictures? Lauren's voice is like thunder and authoritative, Edward and Susan stare at him, no one expect him to notice that and asked, not even a single pic got her face
