"Congratulations,you two. Your marriage survived a total of five years. I'd never thought you both would last even a year, well exceptions to occur, but you know right what they say, about marriage after five years", said Bethany in a shrill tone,smirking, and raised her glass of champagne in a mocking manner. Elizabeth king rolled her eyes on hearing them bitchy remark and replied, "why thank you darling, I am sure that my marriage shall last much longer than your present affair with the french billionare Adrien Coupe".Bethany scowled darkly at that and strolled away in her red fuck-me heels and a sequinned,revealing dress which can be called a negligee itself,leaving nothing for imagination.Elizabeth sighed and then softly cuddled her five year old daughter Annabeth who came running to her mother."Momma momma,I am feeling really sick.My tummy hurts so much,ahh!",cried Annie who was looking just like a princess in her white fairy gown."Dont worry baby girl,I shall get your daddy and he shall give you some medicines right now,"cooed Elizabeth.Then she called out to her husband,"Henry,Henry!please come here for a moment".Hearing his wife's anxious voice Henry excused himself from the guests he were talking to in the party and hurried over to his family."What is the matter,Liza you sound worried.And why is my baby girl crying.Hey Annie, aint you a good girl,a strong princess?What happened?"The guests were too absorbed to notice them and chattered away.All the important and elite members of the society were present in the lavish party.After all who will miss Lord Henry's anniversary celebration,the most significant event of the year.He was a very powerful business man and companies all over the world try to get a deal done with him.His wife Elizabeth is a stunner and was a singer once.Now she only sings at important events and gets a great pay.She also has her own music studio and an academy.Perks of being a billionare's wife.It is hard to believe that both met in a small concert where she was singing and he was the guitarist.Lord Henry worked his ass off to reach such a respectable position,the CEO of Kings Industry but he was an honest man and never forgot his soulmate,Liza,whom he loved more than his life.They got married when he came to know Liza was pregnant as he did not want their child to be born out of wedlock.Also he was eager to make her his before someone else tried to woo his love and take her away.The couple now talked in hushed tones and decided to leave the party early to take baby Annie home.Henry told his secretary Joseph to manage the party and they left quietly through the back door of the banquet hall to avoid the press.They entered their limo and Henry got out the medicine box and gave Annie some decolic,who swallowed the bitter pill with a scrunched up face.As the car glided out and headed home.Annie rested her head on her mother's lap and said"Momma I want something to eat,I am very hungry,I did not eat anything in the party except some punch." "Alright darling,Henry can you ask the car to stop at the nearest walmart please." "Sure love replied Henry and leaned back into his seat,feeling relieved that his daughter was well.He poured a glass of armagnac while the car pulled into the parking of the walmart.Elizabeth went inside the store while her husband sat in the car,thinking deeply about his business now that his daughter was fine.All was going well in the business except the one deal he regretted making....his thread of thoughts were broken when he heard shots being fired inside the store,"Elizabeth!!" he shouted and ran inside with his drive in tow and,leaving little Annie alone in the car,who had started crying again in fear.She heard more shots being fired inside the store and beign a smart kid,somehow managed to open the car's lock and stepped out just as she neared the doors of the store the limo exploded with tremendous noise and was engulled in fire,the flames red and gold seemed to dance wildly,trying to rise higher and higher towards the sky.Annabeth was stunned in fear and made no noise,she just gazed at the burning car with trembling lips and tear filled eyes.She ran towards the car but was picked up by a strong pair of hands.She looked up to see the man who had picked her up and broke down,crying....
