"What is it Orlando?" asked Will smiling not taking his eyes of his daughter. She looked so grown up and so beautiful. Her being in a wedding dress made him and Keira's mother get emotional. They knew that one day their baby girl would actually be walking down to aisle getting ready to marry a man that she would spend the rest of her life with.
"That's our daughter Will" said Sharman with tears in her eyes.
Orlando noticed Will and Sharman's expression and started to feel a sense of nerves. "I-"
"So sorry I'm late" said Rupert as he rushed towards them. He looked at the runway quickly before facing Orlando but he instantly turned back to get another look at Keira.
"Wow" he said as he looked at her. Both men stood there watching as Keira walked down like a true professional. She smiled at them both before blowing a kiss towards them. Rupert knew who it was meant for but, he may pretend it was for him.
"You came just in time for the finale" said Caleb as he interrupted Rupert's gaze. Rupert looked towards Caleb who was looking at him in a strange cautious way.
"Yeah, I had a meeting that ran late" he responded coldly. Orlando, Sharman, and Will did not notice the expressions Caleb and Rupert were sharing with one another. Not one out of the three of them knew about the secrets between these two.
"Beautiful job Keira!" said the designer as he kissed both of Keira's cheeks. "Stunning, absolutely stunning!"
"Thank you" responded Keira with a huge smile as she had changed into a long white floral patterned dress with a sweet heart neckline from Chanel itself. As she spoke to the designer she noticed he started to grin. She was going to turn around to see what he was smiling at before she felt something on her neck. She looked down and saw that someone had slid a beautiful turquoise diamond necklace around her neck and that they were fastening it.
"It's beautiful!" she said as she turned and saw no other than….
"Rupert?"she asked confused and shocked at once.
He gave her a small grin. "Hello there Keira."
"Umm why did –"
"I showed up late and to make up for it I figured I'd bring you something almost as sparkling as you."
"Rupert that's very kind of you but I can't accept this" she said as she was starting to take it off
"Yes you can" Rupert interrupted as he grabbed her hands from her behind her neck and held them in his word. "I won't take no for an answer-"
"No Rupert really-"
"Why not? Will Orlando get offended?"
Keira looked at him for a minute noticing that something seemed different in him. "No. no Orlando's not like that. It's just that I don't feel right accepting it. I hope you understand" she said as she handed him back the necklace.
Before Rupert could argue any further Caleb came to check on his sister. "There's my beautiful baby sis" he said as he hugged her. When he turned he gave Rupert a cautious look again. "Keira, mum and dad are waiting with Orlando outside. Go meet them and I'll get your things."
Keira listened as she said good bye to Rupert and headed out leaving Rupert and Caleb alone since the designer had left long before.
"That's very nice of you to offer to carry your little sister's bags" said Rupert as he turned to walk away.
Caleb quickly took a step closer."And it's very inappropriate of you to offer my taken sister jewelry "he responded as he saw the necklace in Rupert's hands.
Rupert instantly turned to defend himself. "Caleb this was just a gift of-"
"Rupert don't toy with me. Did you forget that I know your little secret?" he asked. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"Believe it or not I was invited here."
"By Keira?"
"By Orlando" Rupert responded with a grin.
Caleb's eyes grew wide for second before he regained his control. "That's because Orlando is a man with manners and generosity and doesn't know the dirty trick you tried to play on my sister."
"I thought you and I promised we wouldn't speak of that ever again-'
"And I thought you promised that you would stay away from Keira as soon as she told you to leave-"
"Well things have changed Caleb" responded Rupert through his teeth. "It turns out that I can't live without her-"
"Her or her money? I mean when I caught you forging her signature on a check it didn't seem like you would have a problem leaving her with our one penny."
"She left me broken hearted. I just thought I deserved something in return for that."
"You deserve nothing, especially not my sister."
"Oh really? –"
"Yes, really" said Orlando as he walked into the room having heard everything. His face had nothing but disappointment and anger on it as he looked at Rupert. "I thought you were a good man Rupert. Keira and I both thought you were a good man. We felt sorry for you, and I felt terrible for taking Keira from you but now I see you never really deserved her."
"I don't need your pity Orlando" said Rupert as he glared at him. "I don't need nor want anything from either of you. The only thing I want is Keira-"
"I ask again her or her money?"
"Caleb believe or not her. I know I made a mistake but I was thinking clearly at that time therefore I refuse to take any responsibility. The one thing I will do though is get her back.'
"Stay away from her" Orlando said through his teeth as he stepped closer to Rupert threateningly. At that moment though photographers came in with the Chanel designer to take pictures of him back stage.
"Not so brave no huh?" Rupert asked as he smiled at the cameras. "Good day Mr. Bloom" was the last thing he said before he walked out.
