The moment I met you (Chapter 218)

  By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu 



The stairs had been decorated with flowers petals scattered around to welcome Audrey and her escort. The happy mood was relished with a soft and melodious music playing at the background.                

Isabelle who was donning a sparkling, long-sleeved gown couldn’t stop smiling at her daughter. Nicholas as well was pleased with his daughter. He was wearing a dark, elegant high-end suit.                                                

Audrey could feel everyone's eyes on her; some stared at her just for the dress she was wearing and others at how beautiful she looked. Perhaps, there were a few that were staring to know who Daniel was; whether he had a formidable background or just some random escort selected by Audrey.                                                                     

On the other hand, Chioma was wearing a belted green dress she had bought from a street vendor and her Aba made cheap made heels. Chisom was dressed in a dark green dress of the same poor quality with her best friend. But then, they were still good looking, maybe not as everyone else in the room. Andrew didn’t go because he was afraid to feel out of place.                                                                                                

Aside from Chioma, Chisom and Daniel who were from poor background the rest of the guests in the room were rich and powerful. The guests comprises of celebrities, billionaires, top government officials and other well-to-do individuals. Nicholas had spent several millions of naira for security alone. The guests were required to present their invitations, which coming of age had been written with invisible ink to avoid anyone crashing into the party. Nicholas was afraid of anything going wrong, so he made sure for the party to be held at Paradise Hotel which was a seven star hotel under Moon Corporation.  Aside from the security guards positioned everywhere; Nicholas had hired extra twenty top police officers stationed at the entrance.  There were CCTV cameras mounted at strategic points of the restaurant. Two Police officers were seen patrolling the place with two Golden Retrievers. One of the dogs was light golden colour while the other was dark golden. With the tight security It would be difficult for any intruder to sneak in or out.
