Arthur Bower finally arrived at the resort where his cousin Kate Bower was going to get married. The resort had smaller cottages for each special guest and he was lucky enough to be far away from his annoying relatives as he requested from his cousin.
Arthur was known to be the heir of the Bower fortune so the relatives suck up to him as much as possible in order to conspired more favor from him and gain more wealth for themselves. He went to the resort and greeted his family as he predicted nothing good could come with it and the rest of the family friends trying to find him a suitable wife were never ending he thought as they all gathered around eager to please him.
Aunt Margaret who was Kate's mother and almost the head of the family next to his grandmother dictated everyone to go away and he was introduced to Selina Melo who he guess was the best candidate whom the family picked to fix him up. All he could think was that the victim was very naΓ―ve indeed especially how he is dressed the family had already gave her pointers on her style as well. He almost laughed at the thought and before he could turn around and dismissed her Aunt Margaret called his grandmother Sandra who almost appeared instantly in front of him.
"Grandmother hello and Dr. Chase, how are you?" He was going to lean forward to kiss her on the cheek but she stopped him.
"Your Aunt Margaret is right go ahead and take this young lad to her seat and attend to her during the wedding." He was about to refuse but her mother wave a hand to him which is a signal not to respond ever since he was little he knows that signal.
"Alice will you please escort me back to the bedroom and have the nurse take care of me so you can enjoy the party with the family." His grandmother calls the doctor by her first name and she bent down to Sandra.
"Grandmother Dr. Chase is here to work and not to enjoy herself." Arthur objected to his grandmother's wished before Alice could respond and mocked Alice Chase's profession at the same time.
"Arthur don't be rude to Alice." His Aunt interrupted before his grandmother could. "Go ahead dear take grandmother to her room and let her rest. I will go tell nurse Sue to watch her go fix yourself and enjoy the party." Alice silently left and Arthur could not help but follow his glanced to Alice. He hasn't seen the doctor for months and was annoyed that she didn't seemed to eager to see him when he was eager to see him since Kate's wedding invitation.
"Arthur go take the young lady to her table please and entertain her." He looked at Selina and she greeted him eagerly as she escorted her to her table.
"I've heard you like to play golf." She tries to start the conversation from all the information she had gathered from the family and he knew it that the girl had no mind of her own for he could predict that she will follow the protocol that the family had set for her.
"Yes. I do." He knew well not to follow any interesting respond to give the ladies a hard time and give up.
"We have similar interest then I love sports as well." She carefully drank her water as if she said something smart and she was proud of herself. "I also like spending outdoors. My father he is the owner of a company and I like to go out and shop outdoors to spend his money. I went to university and took fashion." It almost made Arthur laughed that the family could not find anyone smarter than this women in front of him. She was a wealthy girl and full of connections.
"Who is your father?"
"Paul Melo do you know him?" Indeed Arthur knew the wealthy Paul Melo not only he was a senator and not only he was wealthy he was also influential.
"No I have not heard of him." He pretended not to know him for he have heard of him and he certainly have heard of the daughter who was always presence at every elite parties and not to mention had a lot of scandals in the media. But he keeps silence of his awareness of her background and he could not wait to get out of there.
Finally he got away from Selina Melo and drove away at the resort. He went to a house his grandmother owned and notice that there was a car there.
Alice who was joyously swimming naked at the pool did not realize that Arthur was enjoying looking at her.
"Will... will is the help getting too comfy at her employer's house," Arthur smiled teasingly as she tries to swim to the edge to hide from him. "Does grandmother know you are here?"
"No she thinks I'm at the resort." She gained the courage to look at him and then got out the pool naked. Surprisingly he did not look away though she was entirely naked she felt angry that he did not look away but she did not want to make it obvious that she was embarrass.
"Why are you here?" He tried not to glance down at her beautiful body but could not help it and she gracefully covered herself with a robe.
"Arthur please excused me." She dismissed his question and went inside while he followed her in the kitchen. She looked at him as if annoyed of seeing him appearing in her sight. "Will you be staying long?"
"I intend to."
"Will then I will be leaving and be out of your hair." She quickly got her bag and before she could leave he stepped ahead of him blocked the door. She stared at him and tries angrily to shove him off.
"You are not going anywhere." He stared at her and then he opened her robe but she did not mind closing it.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" She asked as he softly touched her breast.
"Yes. I am." He answered as he lowered his head to kiss her lips but she turned her head to avoid the kiss instead he nibble on her neck.
"Please don't do this." She pleaded as he touched her nipples with his thumb.
