The next day..
In the Langley mansion..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Is everything ready and placed accordingly?
Manservant
Yes, ma’am. Everything is ready.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Alright, then. Please help the guests to show their way to the garden.
Manservant
πSure, ma’am
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(nods)
Lyra goes to her room to change her dress.

In Vento house.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Honey, I’m taking my leave…
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(firm) Sylvia, be careful over there. I’m sure Samara Provence will also be present at the party. If you see her, then it is better to ignore her. Don’t speak to her unless it’s necessary because she is a wolf covered in sheep’s clothing.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Yes, don’t worry, honey. If she spouts any nonsense, I will show her true place in front of everyone.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) Hm..
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Then, bye.. I will take my leave..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) Ok
Sylvia left for the party, held by Lyra.
.

In the Langley mansion..
Almost all the guests have arrived.
They sat in the garden area.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(arrived)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
πHello ladies. It’s good to see you all attending my party.
Other woman :- Hello, Miss Langley. Thank you for the invitation.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Of course. Do you think we can miss your sweet little party..? π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(excited to see her) Sammy !!π
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(hugged Lyra) How are you, Sandra ?
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(hugged her back) πI’m good. I thought you wouldn’t come since you didn’t reply to my invitation.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(leaves the hug) Come on. How can I miss your party ? Moreover, I was born for enjoying parties..π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Well, that’s true.π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
πHow is Artemis ? When is she coming back..?
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Oh, she said that she will be back by next month. And if her work gets over early, then she will be back as soon as possible. It’s been so many years since I didn’t meet my daughter. (bitter smile)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
πYeah, it’s been so many years. (pats her shoulder) Don’t worry, she will be back as early as possible.π
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Yeah..π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(looking here and there) Where is she ? (low voice)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(looks at Lyra) Searching for someone ?
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Yeah. I’m waiting for Sylvia and her daughters.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(clench her dress) They are also coming..? π (force smile)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
π’π’* Those bΓ¬ΘcΔ₯es are also coming..*
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(saw Sylvia at the entrance area) Oh, she has come..π
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(looks at Sylvia with an cold look)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(waves at Sylvia)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(looks at Lyra and waves her back)
Lyra went towards Sylvia and hugged her.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Where are your daughters..?
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
They couldn’t come. Emi was busy with her work, Bella rushed to the company, and Ceci had her exams today.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Oh. It’s fine.. I’m happy that you’ve come.π
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(smiles)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Uhm.. (hesitates)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
H..How is Bella ?
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Oh. She’s fine and doing well.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(surprised) Huh.. Really..? (frowns)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(nods) Yeah… Why? (mocking tone) Do you want Bella to cry her lungs out and beg for your son’s love..?
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(shake her head) πNo, no.. I didn’t mean that.. You are getting it wrong .
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(firmly) Don’t worry, Lyra. Bella will never come in your son’s life.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(gulps) π* Did Bella really give up on Matt..? *
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(comes between them) Hello, Mrs. Vento. π
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(nods) Hello..π
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(fake smile) It’s been a long time. We didn’t meet each other after the accident of Ariana’s parents.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
π Yeah.. * Now what is she planning..?*
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(scanning Sylvia with a disgusted look) So.. How is Ariana..? I heard Matt have broken his engagement with your precious adopted daughter. (mocks)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(becomes cold)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(looks at Lyra) So you’ve shared each and everything with her..?
Woman1:- What !! Mrs. Langley, you didn’t tell us that your son was engaged..
The other women didn’t hear Ariana’s name. They’ve heard only about Matt’s engagement.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
π€¨* How come Samara knows that he was engaged..? No one knows this engagement news except the Vento and Lombardies *
Woman 2:- I never heard or seen in the news that your son is engaged to someone..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
π
No..no.. he wa..wasn’t..
Woman 3:- Well, let me guess. Is it Artemis Provence.. ? (smiles slyly)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
No..no.. you all are getting it wrong. He wasn’t engaged to anyone. π
You all know that media’s love to stir up a person’s life within a second. It was just a baseless rumour.
Woman 1:- Is it ? π
Woman 2:- Massimiliano and Artemis will be the well matched couple in the entire continent.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Oh my, really.. (looks at Sylvia and smirks)
Woman 3:- Yeah. You are right. I’ve seen them together before in their childhood.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
πYup. They both are quite fond of each other. After all, they are childhood sweethearts. (shrugs)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(looks at Samara with an emotionless face)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(looks at Sylvia) * Is she OK..? *
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(smiles evilly at Sylvia) * I will show you Vento the price of messing with me.* π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
π€¨* Samara’s expressions look odd today..*
Woman 2:- Mrs. Langley, don’t forget to invite us to your son’s wedding..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Haha..yes, sure..(divert the topic) π
Ladies, let’s go and enjoy the party.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
π₯* If anything goes wrong, the most affected would be Ariana..*
Lyra showed ladies the way to the tea table..

Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(stand in front of Silvi while folding her hands) βοΈ You know what, Sylvia, tell your niece to stop behaving like her mother, who used to snatch other’s fiancΓ©. Tell her not to grope on something that is not hers. Be happy with what you have, don’t try to desire for more.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(smirks) But I can sense clearly that who is desiring for more here.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(moves closer to Samara and whispers to her) And I also know that brother and sis-in-law didn’t die due to an accident but due to a planned murder.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(widened her eyes in shock while clenching her fist in anger) π’π’
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
π£Sammy !! Sylvia !! come here.. (calls out)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(Went towards Lyra)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(stomps her foot in anger) π’π’
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(grit her teeth in anger) π’π’I will destroy these Vento.
