My Mate Sent Me To Prison I Return As His Nightmare novel Chapter 51

We later went to Monique's apartment, it was lovely with a nice view. It looked so girly and elegant. 

"Beautiful place," I said. 

"Thank you. I used most of my inheritance on it," she informed me. 

"Inheritance?" 

"Yes, my parents were in the army so they made something, and gave me my inheritance," 

"oh, I'm sorry about you're parents," I said and she chuckled. 

"They are not dead, Silly," 

"Oh," 

"They traveled, and I asked for it. Trust me, those men are not dying anytime soon and I couldn't continue living on a Teacher's salary," she explained. " I have two dads," 

I did pick up on that. I smiled and squeezed her hand " Where is the tequila?" 

"Yes! Shots!" she screamed, pulling me towards the kitchen. We each took our shots but decided it wasn't enough, so we drank half of the bottle. 

We quickly got ready and got into the elevator. Once on the ground floor and outside, there was an escalade waiting for us; " Is that ours?" I asked. A tall man held the door open for us.

"Yes, Chuck sent it. He does want to treat me like a princess," she beamed. We went to the car and entered, two bouquets of red roses and bottles of champagne were there with a card. 

"Enjoy your night, ladies," 

"He's so sweet," I said and she nodded. 

"I didn't ... know," she looked uncertain. She didn't know what to expect from this relationship I'm sure so all this was new 

"I didn't know what to expect," she murmured. I caressed her hair and smiled at her. 

"Don't fight it, you won't win... just enjoy," I said. Her dark brown eyes held so many emotions. 

"Yes!" she breathed sharply, grabbing a bottle and opening it.

We were too busy drinking and having fun when the driver announced that we have arrived at our destination. 

He opened the door for us and my mouth fall open at the sight before my eyes. 

"The palace," I whispered. I couldn't believe it. We were coming here. 

It was bigger than I'd seen on Tv or in magazines. The building was over 110 meters, and we were in front of an incredible garden that had a huge water fountain in the middle. 

"Surprise!" Monique hugged me from behind. My heart started to pound as we walked towards the entrance and I was most grateful I dressed up because everyone I looked at was elegant and beautiful, their necks and wrists adorned in expensive jewelry. 

We linked our arms together as we entered the halls of the palace. 

"Oh my lord, this is crazy. This is beyond my imagination," Monique whispered in my ear and I nodded. We entered a huge ballroom, and I could feel eyes on me. I raised my head as we found our spot. 

A waiter brought us champagne immediately, and we took it. 

"Is it me or are we getting attention," I murmured. 

"I mean, look at us," she said confidently, gesturing to her stunning dress that accentuated her breast size and shaped her round ass. " We are glamorous," 

"Indeed," I smiled and we clicked glasses, and drank. 

My eyes roamed around the room, hoping I'd see someone I recognized but I didn't. I wondered if my mate or any of the girls will be in attendance but I doubted that because no one told me about it. People were discussing and others were dancing on the dance floor. I wish I could dance like that with Wyatt. 

"Hello, beautiful ladies," Two men approached us, they were good looking and one could tell they were of high class and of high position from the aura they radiated. 

"Hello," Monique and I said at once. 

"I'm Richard and this is my friend, Gilbert," They introduced, with charming smile.

"Adira and Monique," 

'I'm not!' I retorted. 

"I insist, my lady?" he extended his long arms to me and I glanced at Monique who nodded encouragingly. 

'Don't do it!' 

I was swept off my feet by him and I found myself on the dancefloor and he twirled me. I shook my hips to the rhythm of the song. The dance was soft and right. The atmosphere around was calm and friendly.  

"You're a good dancer," he complimented, I abruptly turned to him and he grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him. 

"You're not bad yourself,"

Monique and Gilbert joined us too on the dancefloor and many others as the song changed to a faster one. We lingered on the stage when the song stopped, smiling and laughing. 

"I don't remember being taught that," Richard laughed. 

"I forgot the steps so I improvised," I confessed. One of the reasons I loved balls was the different types of dances. 

"And you stepped on my foot," Gilbert grimaced. 

"I'm sorry," I purred. 

I felt eyes on me, hot eyes and I scanned the room. My heart pounded against my chest so hard. Azriel was looking at me. He had a woman next to him, her arm linked to his and she was looking up at him but he didn't pay her any attention. I gave him the tiniest of smiles before I looked away. 

"Adira, are you alright?" Richard asked concerned. I nodded and extended my hand. 

"One more dance?" I asked all of them. I recognize the new tune and dance, we could dance all four of us. 

"Yes, please," Monique cheered. We held hands and started to move to the tune but it soon stopped and the room fell silent. 

"What is-" 

I felt it, Wyatt's aura as he entered the room.
