For first few seconds it was whole chaos , as Mira clawed on my face and ripped my hair and Liam tried to get in between us .
I was bleeding from the corner of my mouth and weeping on the floor by the time public arrived to watch the drama unfold .
" You bitch ! How dare you look at Liam like that ! ," she kept shouting ," I warned you and now I will fucking kill you !"
" What did I do ? ," I was bawling my eyes out ," Why are you doing this to me ?"
" You are crazy Mira , she is sick !," Liam was saying ," You are crazy and stupid!"
" How can you say that when she kissed you !," Mira started sobbing now ,"Are you cheating on me Liam ?"
The crowd around us hushed and whisphered.
Liam , my adorable drama queen stared at her with absolute grief and astonishment - I could see that all the acting classes he had taken had come to bring him a good result.
" How could you say that ?," he choked on his words ," I told you that Autumn was just a childhood friend, she is like a sister to me ."
" I told you Liam that your girlfriend doesn't like me ," I sobbed more .
" You bitch ! I am not his fucking girlfriend, I am his fiancee!"
" Mira stop ! I can't defend you anymore," Liam grabbed her arms dramatically," I put my career , my reputation as a corporate heir on risk when I started dating you and all I have ever wanted from you is to be kind and considerate of my family and friends and you do this ??"
" Liam , I saw you sitting beside her and -"
" Yeah ,is sitting beside someone a sin ?," Liam did not let her finish. He turned at the crowd," We are in twenty first century, does sitting beside my childhood friend count as cheating ?"
People surrounded him , consoling .
I was helped on my feet .
" Why do you keep hurting her each time you meet ?," my manager who had no idea of the fake drama bursted into tears ," She just got back from hospital three days ago . I can't even imagine what she is going through. Can't you all be a little considerate of her ?"
I felt bad for her . Ms. Manager had just been appointed for our group and she had not figured out the whole mess we were involved in .
But considering she is pretty far down in the food chain , it was brave of her to stand up to me to me like this . I should talk with the CEO to increase her payment and give her a well-deserved vacation.
Cause thanks to her , the crowd around us was more bent against Palmer.
Even reporters were sneaking in for the pictures .
" Liam ,"I sobbed loudly for the news articles," Let's stop being friends if your fiancee does not like it ."
Liam acted like a broken man ," Do you have to control me like this , Mira ? It's suffocating."
" No ! I saw you two kissing !," Mira hissed .
" Hah ," a single year rolled down from Liam's eyes as he said ,"'Are you drunk ?"
" No ! That bitch she kissed you ! I saw what I saw ! She looked at me and smirked and kissed you !," the more Palmer kept shouting , the more it felt like she was talking nonsense,"'You are mine , Liam , MINE ! Why did you have to leave to help her in the first place ? You should have stayed with me in the party . Then that bitch could never have kissed you ."
Liam squeezed his eyes shut and I looked around the crowd with red , teary eyes for sympathy .
' Can you guys believe this ? '
I painted the message clearly on my face .
" Just because you think I don't respect you enough , I won't possibly try to kiss your fiance Ms Palmer ," I choked in fake tears , " I told you again and again that we - Liam and me are like family. That's why he was helping me ."
" Stop lying you crazy bitch ! There must be security cameras somewhere !"
" Mira stop !," Liam looked defeated ," Even when you bullied my friend and that was posted all over the internet, I stayed with you . Even when I received backlash for starting to date as an idol , I stayed with you . Even when my mother's company suffered loss for your scandal , I still stayed with you . After all I have been through just to be with with - you still think that I can cheat on you ? You are such a cruel woman , Mira ."
" No...no .....Liam , you don't understand...that bitch is trying to seduce you ."
" Oh my God , can't you just trust me a little bit ?," Liam looked around at the crowd so they could get a picture of how broken he looked ," After all I have been through just to be with you , you still have to test me , be suspicious of me like this . Perhaps it is better than we are not together ."
" No....no no no no Liam ."
" No , if you think that I am such a bad guy that I am cheating on me with someone whom I think of as my sister then we should break up , no ?"
" No no no , Liam , listen to me ."
" Don't touch me ," Liam shook him off ," I - I think that we need sometimes ."
He looked at the security camera at the corner ," I will get the footage from there and send it to you . But I don't deserve this kind of insults ."
The crowd around him noded in agreement. He was so confident about the security camera that even I had to take a step back .
" No no no , I don't need security footage ," Mira stuttered," Ma-maybe I am drunk ."
" So you are drunk and that's your reason to be this abusive in our relationship," Liam looked at her coldly ," You beat my friend , Mira . My friend who has been sick and hospitalized. You beat a poor , innocent, helpless woman ."
" Oh common ,"Mira so so done with us ," She isn't even that hurt."
" Oh my god !," my manager gasped ," The audacity this woman has ."
" What did you just say ?! ," Mira snapped at her .
" Ms. Dane , let's call the police ! It's a crime to do this ," my manager was furious," Last time she bullied your time , now she is beating you ! What if she does worse things !"
The situation kept escalating .
I wanted it to escalate .
" I just wanted to attend this party ," I kept crying loudly ," I am sorry that I got sick and asked my friend to help me ."
The chaos around us with filled with clickings of pictures .
I could already imagine the names of the articles that were going to pop up next morning.
I could not just wait to read them together with Liam .
