"𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?" I asked at which Lionel smirked
"𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠"

Y/N Gold was someone in this world ruled by money...
As soon as those words slipped out of Vanessa's mouth my eyes widen in shock. Why was she here?
I quickly retracted my arm from her grasp and Lionel looked at her with a clenched jaw, his hand still on my waist
"What do you want and why are you here" Lionel asked with a rose eyebrow
"I came with my father, of course" she replied, now looking at Lionel
"He asked you another question" I said to which she rolled her eyes
"Listen, love" she began, her gaze sending daggers towards me "Why don't you run along and let me speak with Lionel alone"
"Whatever you have to tell me, you'll tell her as well" Lionel butted in, which surprised Vanessa
"Okay then" she smirked "I just came to give you a warning"
"A warning?" questioned Lionel
"Yes...a warning that you should do your best and get married till your birthday"
"And why's that?" Vanessa merely smirked at Lionel's question, a smirk that honestly gave me the heebie-jeebies
"Your mother knows why..." she said before blowing him a kiss and leaving
"What was that all about?" I asked as I looked up at Lionel who was biting the inside of his cheek
"I don't know..." he whispered softly, his grip on my waist loosening before looking up at the stage, seeing that Martin was about to begin his speech as he fixed his yellow framed glasses
But as he began the speech, the only thing I could pay attention to was Vanessa who was with her father on the other side of the room, and as if she could feel that I was watching her, she looked at me and smirked before looking back at Martin
"Baby" Lionel whispered softly as he looked down at me "are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Lionel" I replied, looking up at him and smiling
He smiled back and then kissed my forehead before looking back at the stage, listening to Zaidenweber
But truth be told, I wasn't fine, not even in the slightest
~~~
And soon the night ended, me and Lionel now on the ride home
"Lionel" I spoke softly, looking at him as I moved my gaze from the window
