Alex and Kim spent the remaining four hours in each other's arms tiredly after their four rounds.
****************************************************************************************************
Amy and her crew worked on Kimberly's face,hair and dress.
"OMG you look like a goddess Kimberly,Alex's jaw is gonna drop at the sight of you" Amy teased Kimberly along with her crew making her face turn red. Amy thinks Kim could make it more if she became a model but Kim declined saying that she only wanted to cook nothing more.
"Isn't the dress too revealing"Kim asked worriedly, she stared at the sleeveless maroon colored mermaid style dress with straps at the front showing a lot of cleaverage and a U cut opening at the back down to her waist line.She felt uncomfortable in such wears but she had to wear it considering the fact that she would not want to embarrass Alex. She paired the dress with 4 inches silver heel and silver with diamonds stud jewelries that Alex got her and a silver purse bag.
As she descended the stairs,Alex who just finished making a phone call was stunned at the sight of the drop dead gorgeous goddess in front of him. Kimberly couldn't help but blush at the sight of her man who was wearing a three piece maroon colored tuxedo paired with a black shirt and shoe. He looked breathtaking.
"You look gorgeous,sexy and breath taking all at once" Alex complimented Kimberly who just stood there blushing red.
"Thank you,you look handsome too and nice haircut" Kim responded before walking up to him and tucked her arm in his arm.
They entered the car,and after 10 minutes arrived at the hotel where the banquet will be held. As they entered,all eyes were on them, flashes of cameras turned to them as well as journalist and bloggers trying to ask them questions but was stopped by Alex bodyguards. Alex caught sight of some guys staring at his little tigress in the most pervertious way ever making him jealous.
"Babe I'm so jealous by how these guys are staring at you,no one has the right to look at what is mine in such way" Alex declared possesively causing Kim to chuckle and act quick by giving him a quick peck on the lips, since she knows fully well that Alex jealousy could be extreme sometimes.
"Mr Chen" Alex and Kimberly turned to see the host mr Pablo walking towards them.anyone could tell that he was a typical French man because of his accent and his look even though he was speaking English.
"Mr Chen,it's so nice to see you,I thought you wouldn't make it"
"Hello mr Pablo,tho sis my fiancé Kimberly,babe this is me Pablo my dream ch business partner" Alex introduced both of them.
"Hello mr Pablo,it's so nice to meet you and by the way I must commend your banquet it's very lively and I love it" Kimberly said shaking hands with the middle aged man who was smiling from ear to ear, looking at the polite beauty in front of him, if she hadn't been Alex fiancé he would like her for his son maybe she could help him become more serious with life.
"Thank you miss,I must say you look stunning,Alex is a lucky man to have you"mr Pablo said making Kim blush especially when Alex her neck.
"Enjoy yourselves,I have to greet other guest but if you both need me I'll be a call away,have a pleasant evening" Alex and mr Pablo shook hands once again before going to seat in their designated seats. Alex felt her uneasiness even if she was trying to hide it. He placed his hand on her laps and rubbed it comfortingly before whispering in her ears.
"You do t have to be scared babe,you know I'm always at your service right my lady" Alex whispered seductively making Kim blush as she u deeatiod his meaning. [damm this guy is so sweet ] she thought inwardly.
They were offered a menu which Kim and after which Alex patiently helped her cut her steaks making other ladies present jealous of Kimberly. Alex fixes his eyes on Kimberly who was now eating her steaks ignoring other business men trying to curry up his favour which attracted bloggers and the media that immediately stated taking pictures of them.
However,the sight of them, caught the attention of some unpleasant people in the banquet. Kimberly was about to feed Alex his food when a voice paused her action making Alex frown at the interruption.
"Mr Chen it's an honour to see you,oh Sarah how are you doing" they both turned at the direction of the voice only to see a man in his mid fifties. Kimberly lost all her smile at the sight of the man whom she hadn't seen for the past seventeen years, it was her scumbag of a father. The hatred she had for this man is equivalent to an erupting volcano.
"What do you want" Kimberly asked without an ounce of politeness,her face had turn cold to the Kimberly everyone once knew.
"Is that how you talk to your father" mr Foster said intentionally raising his voice to attract the attention of the media which seems to work as the media has started videoing them and the crowd was already murmuring criticism at Kimberly saying that now that she has a powerful backer, she had left her family treating them like trash. Mr Foster was secretly smiling at the critics thrown to Kimberly.
"How can you say that,no matter what I'm still your father" mr Foster said adding fuel to the fire.
"Me Foster I don't think your mistress and your mistresses daughter will like it if they hear you call the daughter of your wife whom you cheated on and abandoned for seventeen years your daughter don't you think" me Foster face paled at her words, he ha tried to cover up all his past but now due to her sharp mouth it was all blown away. Mr Foster became paler when he saw the crowd erupt at what Kim said the media's were now getting itchy to publish and some people were already cursing him.
"What are you saying what mistress are you talking about" mr Foster tried to defend himself.
"Mr Foster are you denying it" Kim said while bringing out her phone to call Isabel her step sister, she placed the phone on speaker.
"Hello Isabel it's your sister Kimberly" Kim greeted.
"What do you want you bitch"an aggressive response was received.
"I don't need anything, Isabel I just want us to live as a family once again without fighting pls" Kim said.
"We can never be together,dad left your mom and abandoned you for me and my mom despite you calling my mom a mistress. Look bitch accept the fact that dad has divorced your mom and abandoned you for me and my mom" Isabel rudely said and the crowd was in uproar making mr Foster pale. Soon there was a matured voice speaking through the phone.
"Kimberly you're such a bitch like your mother,by now you should know that Joshua can never be a father to you or your sister,he abandoned you for years and he will do the same again after using you to get to mr Chen. So you better not be happy coz you are Mr Chen fiancé coz just like me my daughter might snatch him away from you,so if I were you I'd watch my back and not bother us again bye" the call ended and the media has started to make headlines out of it.
