3/3 " Burn those who burned me ! " Chapter 31 -Thomas ' POV : We received the ball invitations that same night , he'd sent one for each of us , Rabena included . I could feel my palms start to sweat as I read her name on the fancy stationary . All that day I had my assistant trying to find her with no luck . At this rate we would have no choice but to go along with Danielle's plan of feigning sickness . Every time he thought about that day his blood boiled over . Danielle really put him in a difficult position lying about that proposal . He would have never agreed to a divorce had he known Rabena was behind it . Suddenly , a text message came through on his phone , it was from his grandmother . Grandmom : I just received an invitation for the annual MGT charity ball . I'll be taking your cousin as my escort as I'm sure you'll go with Rabena . Thomas could feel the color drain from his face . For the past several weeks he'd been lying to his grandmother about his divorce from Rabena , if he didn't secure that deal Friday his promotion to CEO was as good as dead . Today was Thursday and he still had not heard anything regarding Rabena's whereabouts . ' Where the fuck did she go to another planet ! ' Suddenly , his phone rang , it was his assistant Andrew . " Have you found her ?! " There was a slight pause before he responded . "No , we haven't sir- " " Then what the hell did you call me for ! " His irritation growing Thomas cut Andrew off , what was the point in calling him if he hadn't yet found her . " I thought you might like to know Damon is back in town . " Thomas paused for a moment . This might actually be some good news . It was no secret that shortly after Rabena left he also disappeared ; it was naturally assumed that she was with him . That could be the reason why she's been able to survive this whole time . She had no money , no means and no connections , so it had to be Damon . " Good , this is good . Do you have a location for him ? " " I was able to find out threw one of his friends that he'll be meeting him for brunch at the Ivy around noon . " Thomas took a look at his watchy , the time was 11:15 am . " Okay great work , I'm headed there now . She didn't have many friends but see if she may have reached out to any one today as well . " 1/2 Chapter 31 Thomas made a U - turn and headed straight for the Ivy . He'd find out where she was one way or another . -Aaron's POV : After his meetings , Aaron showed up in the lobby at exactly 12:30 pm . When he finally found Rabena he could hardly believe his eyes . Aaron always thought she was beautiful but right now , she looked like a mature beautiful goddess ready to take on the world . The spa most certainly did her justice . She's layered and added honey blonde streaks to her hair . Her nails had a French manicure and her skin looked amazing . A beautiful caramel complexion with the right amount of soft makeup . She was wearing a navy - blue pencil skirt and cream colored buttoned up blouse . She looked every bit the part of a businesswoman meeting with a chairwoman . Aaron was beyond impressed . Walking up with a huge smile on his face , he couldn't help but feel pride . " You look gorgeous Ms. Price . " -Rabena's POV : That was the first time in a while since he called me that . It actually sounded kind of strange now . Rabena had a mischievous smile on her face . " Why thank you Chairman Michaels . " Extending his arm to Rabena , Aaron couldn't help but smile , as they made their way to the valet , Rabena felt like she was ready to conquer the world .
