My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

26. Dance party (2)

The next night Miya busied herself with dressing up. He wants to perform as well as possible at his uncle's client's company's birthday party. His face suddenly reddened, as he recalled all of his uncle's attitude towards him. Fabian and Miya had arrived at the party and his arrival was certainly the center of attention of the guests. All eyes looking towards them made Miya feel awkward. Of course because he was not used to all this attention maybe his uncle had gotten used to it but not to him. At the party were various important people and also people from the upper class. Miya felt herself to be nothing on their appeal.

Fabian as if feeling Miya's awkwardness, the man clasped his hands even tighter, then whispered in her ear that gave her goosebumps.''Be calm!Always stay with me.''Miya nodded slowly, then Fabian threw a smile.''You look so beautiful tonight and I don't like to see the men who are here looking at you with gazes full of admiration.''

"I shouldn't have asked me here.''

"It should be, if only I knew that the men here would look at you like that.''Fabian wrapped his arms around Miya's slender waist.''I know you're not used to all this, but from now on you should get used to attending a party like this with me, because soon you'll be my wife.''Miya immediately glared at Fabian.

"Who wants to be your wife? I don't want to, '' protest Miya.

''Surely you will, Fabian replied with a seductive voice in his ear.

Fabian walked confidently past the guests who wanted to talk to him, but always rejected him subtly with his smile. As they walked, Miya heard whispers from the invited guests, he did not know what they were whispering about him and his uncle and accidentally the corner of his eye caught a woman from a distance who was looking longingly at Fabian making Miya feel annoyed.

It wasn't long before Fabian got into serious talks with some of his acquaintances at the party and Miya was a little neglected. When he saw the food, his stomach was hungry.He looked at the party crowd while enjoying the food he was carrying, then there was a man who approached him and asked him to dance. Miya hesitated to accept the call to dance, but she also could not resist the request of the man who had asked her politely. The girl accepted it .

During the dance Miya felt awkward, because it had not danced for a long time, then he saw Fabian who was looking at him sharply.There was a sense of dislike that emanated from his eyes. The girl was still stared at by her uncle like that.He went back to dancing. Fabian kept an eye on Miya's every move at the party only the girl noticed. Fabian did not care about the other women, there was only Miya in his eyes at the moment. A man had taken Miya to dance making Fabian dislike her. He was jealous .

For half an hour later Miya noticed her uncle dancing alternately with many younger women who were prettier than her and her uncle also felt good when conversing with the woman she was dancing with .Miya finished her dance and walked away from the dance floor, then she saw a man she knew and the man once said Fabian was a murderer. Miya approached the man and intended to ask him.''Sorry, pardon! Do you still recognize me. We met in a parking lot at a restaurant.''

"Ah yes. I recall. You were the woman who was with Fabian back then.''

"really. I'm his nephew.''

"It turns out Fabian has a very sweet niece, he said in a seductive voice making Miya feel dislike.

"I just want to know. Why are you spouting Uncle Fabian as a murderer.''

Then James whispered something in his ear.''Fabian already killed Clarissa, because Clarissa caught him cheating on her with another woman.''After saying that James quickly left Miya with an expression of disbelief in the crowd of the party.

''I finally found you here. I was worried you were missing. I shouldn't have brought you here if I knew the men here would like you, '' she said, but Miya just kept quiet.

"You why? Is there something you are thinking about?''

Fabian grabs Miya's chin for the girl to stare at him."If anyone just say.''

"Ti..it's nothing.''

Fabian looked at him for a moment.''Alright. We'd better sit down. Sorry for leaving you so long.''

Fabian embraced Miya's waist and took her to sit in one of the empty seats that were in the corner of the room.''Wait here! I'll get you a drink. Don't go anywhere!''

Miya recalled James' words to her earlier. What James said slightly troubled his mind. During this time he did not really know him, especially his personal life problems, because Fabian never told him anything. Miya pursed her lips. This is so unfair. His uncle already knew about his past with Ryusuke, but he had absolutely no idea of his uncle's past with his wife's old grunts in his heart. If Fabian thought of him as his lover he should have told him . Huuuhh.

''This,'' Fabian exclaimed while thrusting orange juice at him. Miya accepted it and she accidentally touched Fabian's hand which felt very warm making her gasp a little.

''Thank you.''

It was not long before Miya found Fabian looking at her with a soft caressing gaze and she felt careless to keep looking at her like that. Miya suddenly stood up.''I'm going to the toilet''. Miya immediately left without looking back in the slightest. He did not want his uncle to see a reddened face.After him in the toilet the girl can breathe a sigh of relief.He looked at himself in the mirror while justifying his makeup. Lately there was something wrong with the reaction of his body when Fabian was so close to him. His body was full of desire. Just seeing his uncle made his whole body feel happy and his heart was pounding. He felt cold heat as he looked at her. In his uncle's arms, he felt comfort, protection and concern.

The light of the lights in the party room dazzled his eyes. Miya searched for Fabian in the crowd, but she did not find Fabian anywhere. Miya decided to sit back and wait for Fabian to return.

Meanwhile, Fabian, who was waiting for Miya from the toilet, was forced to leave, because a waiter told him there was a phone call for her. He followed the waiter into the hotel lobby, though Fabian felt there was something strange about the phone call.

"Good night! I'm Fabian Baskerville."

"It's me." A woman's voice sounded from across the phone. Fabian did not recognize the voice.

"Who?"

"Lily's flower."

Instantly Fabian's body became stiff.

"What do you want?"

"I warned you to stay away from Miya, but you ignored her."

"Where do you know I'm here?"

" I've always been watching you guys. Every move I know, since you've ignored my warning, you'll pay with Miya's life."

"What are you going to do to him?"fabian asked in panic and his face turned pale.

Laughter is heard from across the phone.

"Please don't hurt Miya."

"I've mixed the drink with hard water, if Miya drinks it, she'll die."

Fabian immediately hung up his phone and ran looking for Miya in a panic. He finds Miya sitting where he left her. Her fear grew even more when Miya was about to drink. Fabian ran over and brushed off the glass until it fell. The girl was surprised. Not long ago there was a hissing sound where the water from the glass was spilled. The chair leg that was hit by the water melted. Fabian was relieved, he came just in time. He must make a decision to put Miya's safety first.[ ]
