Chapter 322: Center of Attention
At that moment, waltz music began to play.
Ana took Mariana's hand and bowed in a gentlemanly greeting. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
-Beautiful princess, would you like to dance with me?
Being so annoyed, Mariana blushed slightly and leaned on Ana's hand.
-You are naughty.
Ana laughed at her.
Ana took Mariana's hand and slowly walked towards the center of the dance floor.
The two were already in stunning dresses, and now, they walked hand in hand towards the dance floor,
instantly attracting a wave of attention.
The duo danced to the rhythm of the music, and they were in perfect harmony.
The magnificent ballroom was decorated with large, elaborate gold-colored palace chandeliers, with
dazzling carvings and beautiful tassels waving lightly above their heads.
The lights matched the glow of the floor, reflecting their delicate figures and graceful dance
movements.
In the midst of the dance, all eyes quickly turned to the two of them. The lights slowly changed color,
illuminating their necklaces and the hems of their dresses.
When the dance moves changed, a pair of young girls stood in the center of the dance floor.
The charm of the two beautiful women was very appealing.
Attracting men and women off the dance floor, as well as couples on the dance floor, they managed to
be the brightest people on the dance.
However, this situation was unknown to Mariana, because she was immersed in the dance with Ana.
When the dance was about to end, Ana and Mariana staggered their steps preparing for the end of the
dance, and then, Ana said mischievously:
-My beautiful princess Mari, you dance so well!
Mariana smiled and shook her head helplessly as she continued to accompany her.
After the dance, Mariana and Ana realized that there were only the two of them left on the dance floor.
And a second later, there was a round of applause.
This caused Mariana to blush and shyly wave to the crowd, while Ana made a gentleman's bow and
muttered under her breath to her best friend:
-Mari, look at how everyone is looking at you.
Mariana became even more shy and replied:
-They are looking at you!
Ana's smile intensified.
-They were probably attracted by my good looks.
-You... -Mariana lost her temper immediately.
The first round of dancing ended smoothly and Mariana led Ana off the dance floor. Mariana didn't
really enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention and decided to quietly leave the stage to take a
breather.
-Ana, it's a little hot in here. I'm going for a walk," Mariana said with a frown.
-Okay, I'm going to get something to eat and then I'll come get you.
Ana took a glass of champagne and handed it to Mariana, who took it and went out slowly.
Diana was annoyed to see Mariana become the center of attention. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a
party, she would have gone straight to slap Mariana twice.
Pretty clothes go with beautiful people, but the grimace on this beauty's face scared off strangers.
"She stole my man and still wants to attract the attention of the whole audience, what a bitch!"
Diana thought with much annoyance, but on the surface, she still looked indifferent to Mariana.
In fact, when Mariana and Ana finished the dance just now, Mariana noticed Diana.
Diana's spiteful gaze bore into her as if she were a dog ready to take her life.
To avoid Diana, Mariana thought of leaving the dance and going out to get some air, and not be held
back by her.
-Assistant Castro, I feel a little sick and I want to go for a walk," said Diana with a pale face.
The assistant nodded and looked at his phone.
-Miss Diana, Mr. Durán always has something to take care of for me, so I won't be accompanying you.
Diana nodded weakly, then headed for the exit.
Upon reaching the outside, Diana instantly spotted Mariana.
She was standing by the railing, her back to the door, and her back alone was so seductive that
passing waiters couldn't help but glance at her frequently.
Diana became even more enraged when she saw him.
"Seriously she's a low-life bitch, trying to seduce everyone."
Mariana enjoyed the sea breeze, which dispelled the uneasiness she had just felt.
Her long hair was billowing in the wind, her delicate face and eyes revealed a faint sadness, and she
gazed calmly into the distance.
Her dress was also billowing in the wind, and she was as beautiful a person as a painting.
The faint smell of salty dampness brought a bad feeling to Mariana, but she didn't care much.
Diana peeked out the back and watched her for a while.
The more beautiful Mariana was, the more jealous she became. Diana felt that she was the only one
who could be worthy of Leopoldo, and even if he abandoned her, she would not allow anyone else to
take him away from her.
At that moment, a waiter, with a tray of champagne in each hand, carefully prepared to proceed to the
ball.
The railing on which Mariana was leaning was so low that a strong push was enough for her to fall into
the sea, and she could lose her life.
Diana slowly watched the waiter calculating the distance, and then Mariana began to stagger to meet
the waiter.
-Ah!
A scream went up.
Diana was filled with panic as she fell toward Mariana, and violently pushed Mariana, who was ready to
turn around.
-I twisted my foot.
Diana fell to the floor and injured her hand and knee.
The waiter also fell against the wall because of Diana's blow, and the champagne fell, breaking into
pieces.
Mariana, who had been immersed in a world of silence, was knocked off the railing.
-Help! Help! -Mariana shouted as she wrenched hard on the railing.
The moment she was pushed down, Mariana unconsciously grabbed the railing, which prevented her
from falling into the sea.
The broken glass scattered on the floor in many pieces, and the scene was a mess.
Ana, who had finished eating, pushed open the door and happened to see the scene of Diana pushing
Mariana.
She paused for a moment before she heard her best friend screaming for help and immediately turned
her attention back to it.
Ana was wearing high heels and, as she ran past the broken glass on the ground, she almost fell to the
ground with them.
She rushed to the fence, dropped to her knees and began pulling on Mariana's arm, shouting:
-Somebody help us!
Since Ana was not very strong, she could not pull a person who weighed almost as much as she did.
And Diana wasn't going to help. She just wanted Mariana to fall and die, so that no one could stand in
the way of her and Leopoldo, so she will just be on one side pretending to ask for help from the others.
