My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

"KINSEY! I'm looking for you everywhere. Where have... KITTY! You came!"

"Shhh!!" Kitty quickly raised her index finger to her lips, hoping Steve Mango did not divulge the secret of her arrival.

"Eh? Why?" Steve asked in confusion.

"I purposely came to surprise Cathy. The surprise will be ruined if you give the announcement that I have come."

Steve laughed at that as he found her words were quite funny. The music was loud to the point of hurting his ears, so there would be impossible for Cathy would notice her arrival. Not to mention, Cathy was too preoccupied with her friends in the middle of the yard, so there's no way Cathy would hear them.

"I have to meet Mercy and others. Do you know where they are?"

"Of course. They are in... Wait here, I will call them." then Steve promptly burst through the crowd leaving Kitty and Kinsey.

"So, Rinrin didn't know you were coming?"

"Rinrin?" Kitty was confused because she didn't know anyone named Rinrin.

"She's my twin sister, Catherine."

"Twin sister?" then she remembered Cathy's story that said she had a twin brother named Kinsey Alvianc. And Kinsey had helped her to get the antidote from Aiden. It couldn't be this man is... "Is your name Kinsey?"

"Yes, I am," he replied with a thin smile.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it at all. I heard you got the antidote for me. At that time, I wanted to thank you, but you were not there. I thank you. I have no idea how to repay this debt of gratitude." Kitty explained at length with a sincere smile. "Is there a way to repay this debt of gratitude?"

Kitty saw the tip of Kinsey's lips twitching, and his gaze was complicated to interpret. Why did Kinsey look at her like that?

Kinsey felt he was stupid as he was hoping Kitty would remember him. He was happy when the girl mentioned his name, causing his heart to anticipate their reunion.

However, his anticipation fell apart when listening to Kitty's words. He probed the girl's expression to seek any clue of the girl's recognition of him, only to found nothing. It seems like... Kitty doesn't remember him at all.

Of course! He could not blame her. Kinsey himself broke his promise to the girl. Kinsey decided to close his heart a long time ago. He decided to let go of his first love ever since discovering the truth behind his mother's family background.

Furthermore, Kitty's memory was not as good as his, not to mention they hadn't seen each other in almost twenty years. It was no wonder if the girl forgot him over time.

But still... he couldn't help but feel gloomy knowing that his first love just forgot him. Although he buried his memories with Kitty, Kinsey never forgot the girl. Her name, birthday, and her favorite food are still fresh in his mind.

"No worries. You are my sister's best friend. I did it for my sister's sake." replied Kinsey in a nonchalant tone.

After saying his last statements, Kinsey saw two girls presumed of being Mercy and Daisy approaching them. After returning the black bag to Kitty, Kinsey decided to leave to give the girls privacy to surprise his sister.

Alas, Kinsey did not see the disappointed and hurt look in Kitty's eyes when he turned to leave her. He didn't know the girl wanted to know him more and befriend him.

"Kitty, did you bring it?" asked Mercy in an excited tone.

"All of it."

"Great! Let's go!"

Kitty's lips made a thin line as once again she watched where Kinsey went before she joined her friends to make this surprise a success.

She couldn't wait to see her beloved friend's expression.

The celebration of Vincent and Cathy's wedding went smoothly. There were several games for entertaining the guests. Of course, there were exciting prizes getting everyone to scramble to join the fun.

There was also a group photo event and a toast to each other. The presence of a hilarious emcee made the atmosphere more lively. Not to mention, he gave funny questions to the bride causing everyone to laugh out loud.

Vincent made the event even more hectic when he couldn't stop showing his love for Cathy. Like when kissing Cathy's forehead or when enfolding Cathy's waist without wanting to part with her. This sweet possessive-like gesture made the emcee even more excited to tease the couple.

"Our groom is very difficult to work with, huh? I can't get in the middle of them. His body is sticky like a stamp to the bride's body."

Emcee's statement made everyone laugh while Cathy's face blushed red as steams raised from her head. Vincent even just chuckled and responded emcee with the same witty answer, making Cathy want to hide her face in a hole.

Meanwhile, Kitty, Mercy, Daisy, Darell, and Rhys were arranging tools that would be the highlight of their surprise.

The items Kitty had brought were various kinds of fireworks and bottles of jam decorated with beads of multiple colors.

The girls organized the bottles and then placed a small candle-like lamp into each jar. They adorned the deeper road to the lake with these colored bottles.

The bottles were actually to light the way to the back of the lake, where guests built tents. Because the area has no lighting and would be very dark at night, they would need a lot of lights to see the path.

While the men set fireworks tools according to the guidance in a note, Kitty checked out the checklist to ensure everything was in place.

"Are the sparrows ready?" Kitty asked Mercy after finish arranging the jam jar.

"Yup, it's ready. Sparrows of various colors are ready in their cages." Mercy answered.

"But how can we control them to fly as we wish?" this time, Daisy asked in curiosity.

Kitty just smiled without answering them.

"Kitty, are you sure the fireworks are put in place like this?" Rhys asked because he didn't understand the arrangement of the big box of fireworks.

"Hm..." Kitty took a deep breath while reading a note about the placement of the fireworks.

She did not understand the summaries written by Vincent. The one which regulates and calculates when the fireworks are lit was Vincent.

So the only one who could set the fireworks was Vincent, but she couldn't possibly kidnap the main star in the middle of the event, right? If only she didn't wake up late and arrive on time. Rumble Kitty to herself.

"Here, let me see the notes."

All of her friends choked up when they saw Steve Mango approaching Kitty casually and took her notepad.

"Hm. Self-explanatory enough. Leave it to me." Steve smiled and ruffled her hair gently.

"Steve! You ruined my hair."

Steve chuckled as he asked the men to move the box-shaped and massive fireworks tools to the place according to the instructions in Vincent's notes.

Meanwhile, Mercy and Daisy surrounded Kitty in a squealed voice.

"Kitty, since when were you close to the famous model Steve Mango?"

"You never told us you were friends with a model."

Kitty only smiled slightly in response. She rarely met them, so she also didn't have the chance to tell them that she was friends with Steve Mango.

Besides, Cathy was closer to Steve because the man cared more about Cathy than her. It turned out the man was Cathy's cousin.

How could she explain this complicated matter to them? She chose to be still and let Cathy explain herself later. If Cathy wanted to hide the fact that Steve is her cousin, Kitty doesn't want to be the one to spill it.

After making sure the preparations were done, Mercy told Kitty to get ready.

The first surprise will start soon. Kitty grinned impatiently, waiting for what kind of expression her friend would make.

***

Cathy was relieved that the ridiculous 'interrogation' session from the emcee had ended.

Gosh! Who has invited this absurd emcee to her wedding? Not to mention that her husband was actually clicked and worked together with the emcee to tease her.

Her face had not stopped reddening from Vincent and Emcee's conversation earlier.

Like when the emcee asked Vincent if he wasn't afraid that Cathy would forget him because he had been missing for a year.

"If she forgets me, then I will make her unable to forget me."

"What if she falls for someone else?"

"I will make her fall in love with me again. Besides, my heart is already in her hands. She will not be able to return it to me."

The annoying emcee asked other similar questions. Vincent cleverly answered with a feeling of enthusiasm to invite guests to whistle enthusiastically.

Really outrageous. This emcee intentionally assaulted and cornered her.

As a result, Cathy put on a frown and did not want to pay attention to her husband because Vincent also contributed to the 'attack' earlier.

"Cath, don't frown like that. It makes me want to devour you right here and then." Vincent teased, rubbing her pouting lips with his thumb.

Cathy looked at her husband in annoyance and didn't make a sound anymore. But she did not rebel when Vincent snaked his hand on her waist tightly.

"I'll make it up. Soon you will smile again." Vincent pecked her lips with a broadening smile.

Cathy snorted and still didn't want to return the smile. But her heart felt happy to get a brief kiss from her husband. For some reason, Cathy's independent nature has become very spoiled in front of her husband. But she liked the change, likewise with Vincent. He felt pleased whenever Cathy acted spoiled toward him.
