Chapter 45
“Little Damon!” Ferdinand Steyn grinned widely, his old age not stopping him from wearing what was clearly a Hawaiian shirt to the formal affair. His wife was no better, carrying what looked like a mimosa as she giggled on his arm. “How’s it hanging?”
Corinna crossed her arms, absolutely seething inside despite the plastic smile on her face.
Even I had only met the elder Steyns a handful of times, and that was only by accident.
Corinna cleared her throat, stepping forward.
“I believe this is my party.” She gave me a dark look, but I just shrugged. She smiled at the press, raising a glass of what I was sure wasn’t wine in the air. “So I’d like to raise a toast!”
Once everyone’s glass was lifted, she continued. “To our promising futures!”
As everyone around us followed suit, raising their glasses, I only raised an eyebrow. What was she planning now?
Corinna downed the whole glass in front of the entire crowd, shrugging it off as she grinned.
“I’m so happy you could come, Adelaide,” she stepped forward, grabbing my hands in her own. She stared up at me like we were real sisters with affection between us. “Have a sisterly chat with me, won’t you?”
I opened my mouth to politely decline, but Corinna was not waiting for answers. She pulled me forward with all her strength, and I yelped, losing my footing. Luckily, Damon’s hands were still wrapped around my waist, keeping me firmly upright.
“My wife won’t be going anywhere.” Damon said, coldly.
Corinna’s lips spread into a slow smirk. “Really? You won’t let my sister wish me good luck for my wedding?”
Her eyes flickered to the mass of cameras watching our every move.
“It’s okay,” I smiled at Damon, “You’re right here. Fifteen minutes tops, remember?”
Damon sighed, reluctantly letting me go.
“Perfect!” Corinna giggled. “Now, come along sister!”
She tugged me in front of the spotlight, putting me center stage with her as she posed for the camera, blowing a kiss with her hand tucked tightly in mine.
I stood stiffly, looking awkwardly from the flashing cameras to Damon standing on the sidelines.
“Relax,” Corinna said through her smile as she wrapped her arm around my back, pulling me forward with her. “I’m not going to eat you.”
“You could’ve fooled me,” I bit back, but smiled nonetheless. I wasn’t as natural in front of the cameras as Corinna, but I knew not to ruin our family’s image.
I thought for a second that maybe this was all Corinna wanted. Just some photos to clear up the bad blood between us, at least for the press’s sake.
I felt a sharp pinch on my lower back. I didn’t flinch, still smiling as naturally as I could as Corinna leaned her head on my shoulder, her lips
