I nodded, not caring about his explanation.
Right now I was more interested in checking my account as soon as possible to make sure my song had really popped.
Lec quickly went off to socialize with the other alphas.
Once alone, I sank onto the plush couch tucked into a quiet corner, letting the lively conversations of the party become a distant hum
My phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with notifications, pulling me back into the real world.
I unlocked it and stared at the flood of hearts and messages filling my screen.
Ten million views.
My songwriting video had skyrocketed in popularity.
Messages poured in, each more enthusiastic than the last, but one stood out:
**“Ms. Aria is willing to pay a high price for you to perform live at your wedding, please consider this invitation.”
I leaned back, a slow smirk forming on my lips.
Aria guessed she would never have guessed that the woman she had once somewhat despised was the mysterious musician she had now invited.
I skimmed through the messages, casually grabbing a drink from the table and sipping it,The drink tasted good, sweet liquid with a light cherry flavor, I drank three cups in a row.
Until I picked up the fourth cup, the waiter next to me couldn’t help but remind me, “Ma’am, this is a high number of cocktails, although it looks very similar to the drink, but if you drink too much you will get drunk.”
I froze, and then felt that my mind was indeed a bit foggy.
Soon, the alcohol began to blur my thoughts, causing the room to spin slightly.
I stumbled towards the restroom, hoping a moment alone would help me clear my head.
But when I walked out, I froze.
In the dimly lit hallway, Aria wrapped her arms around Leo’s waist from behind, sobbing in aggravation. She buried her face in his back.
“Please don’t leave me, okay? You know, you’re my only groom! Only if you come will my wedding have any meaning to begin with.”
For a moment, my vision blurred with shock.
“Am I interrupting?” I asked, my voice calm and cold.
Leo’s eyes widened in surprise, clearly caught off guard by my sudden appearance–or maybe by the cold, unaffected tone in my voice.
Before Aria could deepen her kiss, Leo pushed her away, his eyes darting between the two of us.
“Elizabeth-” he began, trying to explain, but I didn’t give him the chance.
I passed them and walked towards the restroom.
I slapped the cold water on my cheeks, which were burning from the alcohol, and was surprised to find that I didn’t feel any heartache,,rhaps because the spirits had paralyzed the feeling in my heart.
I might not really love him anymore.
When I returned to the venue, I saw Aria standing in the very center of the ball, smiling brightly and cheerfully.
Chapter 42
A wave of gasps rippled through the crowd, whispers of admiration and excitement quickly filling the air.
“Do you really think ‘Monologue‘ would perform at a wedding like yours?”
