An Innocent Heart Longing For Love

Shane wondered, 'Is she avoiding me?'

Luyisa questioned exasperatedly, "Anna! Why are you acting like Shane? You need to go and see people. If you did not gather people's attention at this age when will you get a chance? I order both of you to attend, do you hear me?"

Shane nodded at once, not giving a chance to slip, "Fine then! I will come to fetch Anna to take her to the gathering in the evening."

Task completed. Yet, another important matter popped out of nowhere, now he had to keep a check on the security measures in the wedding chapel.

"Mom! I need to head back to the office now. See you in the evening!"

Anna stayed noiseless and held her head hung low, and her toes curled in anxiety. She waited for Shane to exit the place and then glanced at her aunt.

"Aunt! I afraid that I won't meet up his expectation."

"Silly girl! What are you talking about?"

Anna glimpsed at the wedding organizer and remained quiet. Her rosy lips pouted, and it was so obvious that Anna was worried to go out with Shane.

Luyisa signaled the organizer to step out, and questioned Anna, "What is so hard about to hang out with him. Did not you say you love him, So why do you hesitate?"

"Aunt! I have never been to any gatherings before. I have no idea about how to carry myself in public. If I make even a slight mistake, he will post me a deathly glare. I don't want to go."

"Is that all you worry about. Ha... You two know how to give me a heart attack. Mmm... You have time till evening, I can teach you simple etiquette and table manners. That will do.

First, Pick the flowers for decorations, Shane has already chosen the basic decoration style. Now it is your turn."

Anna smiled at Luyisa as she accepted the book from her, "Ahh... Each flower is unique and beautiful. It is hard to pick one. Mmm... How about this idea, since I have picked the spot and Shane picked the decoration, you got to pick the flowers."

"Ahh... I will pick only one flower, It was the flower I picked for my marriage. The White Orchid flower!"

"That's it then, Finalized!" Anna posted a brilliant smile and continued to ask, "Aunt?! Will Godfather come for the wedding? Please don't dodge the topic again, I want to know where he is? Will he come back?"

"Anna, I told you already! The things I mentioned to you about your mother are all my willful wish. Clayton has gone to deal with his own personal matters, he is not up to anything.

His duty was already over. You are married now, and there was no need for him to stay back to take care of the Corporation. So he handed over the responsibility to Shane and went back to his shell. That was it."

Anna sighed. Yet, she regained her senses quickly and continued to pester, "Can I at least talk to Godfather? I can invite him as a board member. Maybe, He would consider visiting. Please!"

Luyisa warning rang loud in the hall, "I will think about it. Now just go have your breakfast first. Don't make a fuss like a small kid."

Once Anna left the living hall, the entire hall fell silent.

Speaking about Clayton brought back the awful memories to Luyisa. 'What would have happened to Kathy? Clayton, you should have informed me at least. What harm will it cause for you to contact me?'

Luyisa recalled Clayton final verdict about Kathy, 'Kathy was in Country S. She devoted herself to serve the people dying there.'

Luyisa thoughts wandered, 'Kathy is in Country S. The Country S whose border meets Derah mountain. On Anna's wedding day, Kathy will be only a mile away distance from Anna. A mile distance!

Wait for a second! Just a mile distance?! If they are so close then the possibility of the attacks will rise high. What have I done?'

Luyisa quickly withdrew her phone to dial the wedding organizer to inquire about the dispatch of wedding cards.

"Madam! The cards were dispatched accordingly. And I have also managed to assemble media to live telecast the wedding in news channels. By this way, You will be able to wipe the little stain left on your family. At present, their wedding news is all over the media, and the location spot had brought more spotlight to the wedding."

Luyisa struggled to keep her tone light, "Good! Is it possible to claim for more security around the area? Since it has brought a lot of attention there could be a possibility for misshape to happen, I want to strengthen the security around the perimeter."

"I have already taken the necessary operations, you need not worry about anything. Rest assured! Everything is under control."

"Thank you, I trust your words."

Luyisa sighed heavily as she hung the phone, and her mind oscillated heavily.
