Awards Night

I just took my evening shower and I'm about to go to bed. "That's cool, it's 5pm here and I'm preparing to attend the event tonight.

I'm sorry I couldn't go with you.

It's okay Aurora I understand. "So do you have an escort now? Aurora asked.

"No I don't but my secretary will do. "I thought Paul was your secretary?she asked surprised.

"Yeah I do have a secretary, Paul is my assistant. "What's her name?"

Betty...Mark said flatly. "Do you have a problem? he asked with narrowed eyes.

"No I don't, I mean why would I?

"Are you Jealous?"

"No way, I'm not Jealous. I just don't like female secretaries. Mark narrowed his eyes at her.

"Hey why you looking at me like that...she asked with a raised brow. "You're soo cute darling, why don't you accept that you're Jealous.

"Hey it's nothing like that okay, you see Jake had a female secretary and I....

"Sorry"..she immediately shut up when she saw the look on his face. "No keep on talking,I shouldn't have reacted that way. I mean I get it ,I don't expect you to forget him that easily. I know he holds a special place in your heart and I accept that. After all he was your first love.

Thank you for understanding me. "Yh I forgot to say this Mom said there would be a ball, she said it's my Dad's family tradition. Please make sure to be in Town before that day.

And when is this grand ball? "A week or two."

I can't promise you but I will be there, I promise. "I wish you the best this evening and I know you're going to win this."

Thank you my Love. Urmm bye and sweet dreams. "Yh bye Aurora said and cut the call".

Mark was looking dashing in his Red suit. Finally he's going to be awarded for his hardwork. He never had an easy life even though his family was rich, he had to struggle to get where he is now and he did that to prove his worth in the Wilson family.

"Sir you have a call from Leon Dark Hart. "Thank you Betty" He took the phone from her and waved her away. "Hello"

"Congratulations Brother, I know you're going to win cause you deserve it. "Yh thanks Leo. Urhmn Jeff told me you were in spain? "Yh I was, I returned two days ago. I failed to say this, urmm I'm married Man".

"What congratulations Man"... I know I should have told you, everything happened soo fast. It's okay. Anyways you couldn't make it to mine, Jeff was shocked that I'm married I mean I invited Aunt.

"Man that's another story,and I bet you don't want to hear. "Yh you're right spare me their drama's. Okay so I gotta go, I will see you when I touch down in New york.

Sir it's time". I nodded and walked down the hall. This race is tough. I'm competing with top business men in the World. Alot of people approached me and I made more connections. The night was perfect until I saw the witch approaching me.

I rolled my eyes at her. She's leaving me no other choice but to kill her. "Hey Mark where's your little wife. "That's none of your business Raphaelina." Mark you have to be nice to me you know, I know all your dirty secrets. Including the fact that you're involved in Jake's death.

Mark's eyes went wide as saucers and Ralph gave out a wicked smirk. "You can't get rid of me that easily. Imagine the look on your dear wife's face when she finds out that you killed her fiance.

"I'm not scared,do whatever you want to do Ralph. "You sure about that???she smirked.

"What do you want?" "Nothing just a lovely night with you,and we can start by me being your escort for example.

I'm not cheating on my wife with a piece of trash like you. Come on Ralph you're better than this. "Mark mind your tongue"

"Fine be my escort". The winner for this year's Best Shipping Company goes to Mark Wilson.

"Yeah I knew you'd win this. "I smiled as the camera's flashed on me. The whole place was full of joy as the crowd applauded me. I climbed the stage with Ralph escorting me as I took the award. The paparazzi took pictures and Ralph wouldn't stop making weird poses. She even pecked me.

"Sir how do you feel about this win? the newscaster asked...

"I'm soo happy, this is what I've been dreaming of and finally it came true.

"Right Sir are you back together with Miss Raphaelina? What about your wife Mrs Aurora?

"No answers please, Scorpion and the guards made sure to get me in the car to avoid questions of the media. "Fuck I'm screwed up, what will I do if Aurora see's this.

"Hello Leo"

"Mark what is this with you and Ralph? It's all over the news.

I will explain later, please get the news down and I beg you get rid of Ralph she's a pain in the neck. "Do you want her dead or gone?Leo asked?

"I don't want her dead but I want her gone.

Sure thing Bro, I will do that for you. In the next two minutes the news will go down. Thank you Leo I knew I could count on you.

And as for Ralph she won't even remember her own name let alone you.
