Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 155

Violet’s P.O.V.

“Wow… you are looking stunning, love,” Mrs. Parker exclaimed while looking at me in the full-length mirror in awe. I smiled nervously while admiring myself. I had worn an evening gown in royal blue color, matching my eye-color, and I was really looking beautiful in this dress. It was a full-length dress with a slight slit on the right leg. It was one-shouldered with embroidery all over the neckline. Beads and gems were used inside the embroidery. This was the first time that I had worn something like this, and this was making me nervous. Also, the bandage around my head was the next thing that was annoying me, but I couldn’t remove it.

“Let’s finish your makeup and hair,” she said and took me to the dresser where her makeup artist was waiting for us. “Be cautious while doing her hair. A simple style without using any pins or other stuff will do. Her wound is still fresh,” she instructed the lady in a calm tone. “I will be okay, mom,” I said to her while holding her hand. “I know that you will be okay, honey… but I don’t want you be in pain tonight. This is your night to enjoy,” she answered me in a light tone, and I smiled widely this time. “What is Ethan wearing?” I asked her curiously after some time. The lady had already started her work.

“He is wearing a tuxedo in the same color,” she told me while getting ready. “Will we be in the same color dresses?” I asked her in confusion, and she nodded. “Yeah… it was his idea,” she answered me and I nodded. “Mrs. Parker,” the lady who was doing my makeup called her after some time. I had already closed my eyes when she asked me to do it. “Yeah?” I heard Mrs. Parker answering her. “Do you want to put any jewelry on?” she asked Mrs. Parker in a professional tone. “Yeah… there is a velvet box in purple at the right side of the desk. Put that on her, and you will replace matching earrings and a bracelet in the next box beside it,” Mrs. Parker told her and I slowly opened my eyes.

“I don’t have any jewelry, mom,” I told her in confusion. She smiled and looked back at me. “Your boyfriend is very caring, Violet. He gave you jewelry. He said that he bought something on it with his own money, and another one is a gift from his mother. I don’t know what he bought for you. I guess you will know after seeing them,” she told me, and I immediately took the small velvet box from the dress in excitement. “I guess you already know,” I heard Mrs. Parker saying something with a chuckle. “Wow,” I exclaimed in awe when I opened the box. It was a beautiful pendant with a chain in silver, just the way I like and the best thing was that it had a small blue gem in the middle of the intersection of those letters. I smiled when I realized what those letters were.

“I can say that you like this,” I heard Mrs. Parker commenting again in a light tone. “I love this, mom…. This is really beautiful,” I whispered, but tears filled my eyes. “No crying now, Violet. You will ruin your makeup,” Mrs. Parker instructed me in a stern voice this time. “Sorry,” I mumbled and blinked my eyes harder. “Let me take care of this,” the artist asked me gently, and I nodded. She slowly put my head down on the edge of the chair and asked me to close my eyes. I was really nervous because I didn’t know how Kyle and the other boys were going to react to this look. I was looking completely different after makeup and the hairstyle, but in a good way. At least I was liking this look.

“Done,” the make-up artist told me with a wide smile on her lips. “Thank you,” I said to her and straightened my back. I blinked harder while looking at myself in the mirror. “You are really looking stunning, Ms. Parker,” she complimented me, making me blush a little. “Awe…. Look at my girl,” I looked at Mrs. Parker when she exclaimed happily. At the same time, we heard a knock on the door. “Mom,” Ethan yelled from the other side of the door. “Yeah… coming,” Mrs. Parker yelled back and stood up from the chair. We had a similar dress in different colors, and she was looking stunning with light makeup and simple jewelry that she chose for herself. I put on the bracelet that Mrs. Knight had given me and stood up.

The lady put my heels in front of me. I wore them with her help. “Everyone has already come, mom… only you two have remained now,” Ethan yelled again in frustration. “Uhhhh…. Boys,” Mrs. Parker g*****d in frustration while wearing her heels. “Ready, honey,” she asked me with a wide smile on her lips. I nodded and took a deep breath through my mouth. “I can do this,” I gave a light pep talk to me. She wrapped her hand around my waist, and we both walked towards the door. My heart was now pounding hard against my ribcage, and I felt sweat on my palms. “You are looking stunning, honey… don’t forget that this is your night,” Mrs. Parker encouraged me while making small circles on another side of my waist where her hand was resting right now.

She opened the door, and we stepped out. “What y,” Ethan yelled, but paused immediately as soon as his eyes fell on me. I passed him a nervous smile and looked at Mrs. Parker nervously. She had a wide grin on her lips right now. Ethan blinked dumbfounded while looking at me. “Is… is… she,” he tried to ask something but paused again while staring at me with the same shocked gaze. “How is she looking, huh?” Mrs. Parker asked him in a cheerful tone. “No f**king way that she is going out like this,” he suddenly exclaimed while looking at me from head to toe. My heart sank at his remarks.

“Ethan,” Mrs. Parker called his name in a stern tone. “Look at her, mom…. Almost half of my school and so many other boys are here at the party. Leave Kyle at one side, whom I will keep away from her,” Ethan yelled again in shock, and I breathed out in relief. It meant that I was looking beautiful. I felt like punching him for making me sad about my look. “This is her night, Ethan. She has to shine like a star tonight,” Mrs. Parker answered him in a cheerful tone. “Ethan… what are you doing? Your dad is…… whoah,” I lowered my eyes and blushed lightly when Noah, who had also come there while calling Ethan, stopped suddenly and looked at me with wide-open eyes.

“Is she really our Violet?” he asked, and Mrs. Parker laughed this time. “Yes, my boy…. She is our Violet,” she answered him and started walking towards the stairs with me in her side embrace. “There are so many boys out there,” Noah exclaimed behind me, and I giggled this time. “That’s what I was telling mom that she can’t go like this. She… she is,” I heard Ethan yelling, and I could sense disbelief and helplessness in his tone. To be honest, I was now enjoying his frustration. He was looking stunning in his royal blue tuxedo, but I guess I was going to steal the show tonight.

“Where is Kyle?” I asked them when I didn’t see him anywhere. “He is with Liam right now. Your baby brother is keeping him occupied with him. Seriously, Violet…. I am now seriously thinking about proposing to you tonight,” Noah answered me, but teased me in the end. “Shut up, you brat,” Ethan smacked at the back of his head, making him hiss in pain. “She is your sister… not mine,” Noah yelled at him while rubbing the back of his head. I giggled again and Mrs. Parker giggled with me this time. I was now curious to know Kyle’s reaction. “O my my…. Now I really confused about whom to protect tonight…. My wife or my daughter,” I looked in the other direction when I heard Mr. Parker’s teasing tone.

“Dad,” I chirped, and he came straight to me first. “You are looking beautiful, honey,” he complimented me while giving me a side hug. “And what about me?” Mrs. Parker asked him immediately while pouting a little. “You too, my love, but she is looking like a princess tonight,” Mr. Parker complimented her too but praised me again before giving her a k**s on her cheek. “Dad,” Ethan g*****d, and I looked in the other direction while lowering my eyes. “Let’s go… they will come,” Ethan tucked his hand around my arm, and we both started walking together. “You really have a good pair of legs,” Noah whispered in my ear, making me gasp in shock. “Noah,” I widened my eyes in disbelief, and he blinked innocently. “Don’t mind him,” Ethan asked me angrily while almost dragging me along with him.

My nervousness was increasing with every step that I took towards the garden where they were holding our birthday party. Someone announced our presence, and both I and Ethan stepped out of the mansion together. I trembled a little when everyone clapped for us. I looked around, and my nervousness reached its peak as there were so many unfamiliar faces around us. “”O My God,” someone exclaimed aloud, and I clutched Ethan’s hand on my arm tightly. “Easy girl… you have the whole night,” I tried to put myself at ease, but his words made me more nervous. We slowly walked towards the crowd, and first, all the boys from both the volleyball and football teams approached us.

“My God, Violet…. You made us fools all these years by hiding your beauty, huh? You are looking gorgeous, girl,” Matthew was the first who comment on me in awe. “Thanks,” I thanked him with a light smile on my lips, but I was looking for Kyle. “She was always like this,” Ethan said with a frown, making everyone laugh at him. I was now fidgeting with the pendant while looking for Kyle. “No, Ethan…. I agreed that she looks beautiful even with her bare face, but you can’t deny that she is looking breathtaking right now,” it was Axel who complimented me this time.

“Keep your eyes off, okay? She is off limits,” Ethan scolded everyone, and they all g*****d. I looked at him in confusion now. “Now I am regretting of not approaching her earlier,” Rein commented this time, and I looked at him in disbelief. What was wrong with these guys tonight? “She was always off-limits, Rein,” my heart skipped a beat when I heard his voice behind me. Rein scowled but grinned once again when he looked back at me. Ethan tightened his grip on my arm when Kyle wrapped his hand around my waist. “You better take off your hand tonight, Kyle,” Ethan threatened him possessively, and now it was my time to look at him in disbelief. Are all brothers like him? Over possessive and over protective when their sisters look beautiful and gorgeous in an outfit?

“Don’t play your brother card on me….. brother-in-law,” Kyle answered him, but the way he changed his relationship with Ethan in a teasing tone made my heart skip so many beats in a row. I looked at Kyle and saw admiration and love for me. “Ha… as if she is going to marry you,” Ethan replied to him while holding me possessively. Before they could start bickering with each other, I looked around for anyone to rescue me. “Ethan,” I took a breath of relief when Mr. Parker called him. “Yes, dad,” Ethan answered him immediately. He looked down at me, and I looked at him questioningly. “It’s time to introduce you as a Parker, Violet,” he told me, and my heart again started beating furiously. I nodded to him and looked at Kyle. “Go… I am here,” he whispered to me lovingly, and I smiled nervously. His encouragement was enough to make me feel relieved. I was a little disappointed, though, because he didn’t say a word about how I was looking right now.

I walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Parker with Ethan. Now I was holding his arm. We both stopped near them, and I stood up beside Mrs. Parker. Ethan was still holding my hand on his arm. Mr. Parker asked everyone for their attention. “My dear friends… as you know, this is the birthday party of my son, Ethan, and he is sharing this night with his sister, Violet, whose birthday is today,” he said in a loud and firm voice. There were murmurs around us as everyone was now confused with the announcement, which made me nervous again. “Yes, you heard me right. I and my wife have decided to adopt Ms. Violet Carter tonight, and from today onwards, she will be known as Violet Parker. She will not only share my surname but also everything that I have with my son. This is her birthday today and I request that all of you bless her with best wishes,” he announced, and everyone started clapping while cheering for us.

I frowned and looked at Ethan. “What does he mean by sharing everything?” I whispered and asked Ethan, and he smiled. “It means that both of us will share all the property equally,” he answered, and my frown deepened. I didn’t need their property. I only needed their love and care. I smiled because everyone was now looking at us. I decided to talk with them about this later. “Let’s go…. You have to sign the papers now,” Ethan told me, and I nodded. “This way, honey,” Mrs. Parker said. She took my hand from the other side, and I walked with them to a table. “Violet,” I looked up and saw Mr. Westfield coming to us. “Happy birthday, honey,” he wished me after stopping in front of us. “Thanks…. Dad,” I said with a smile. He raised his brows in surprise when I called him DAD.

He pursed his lips and looked at Mr. Parker. I also looked at Mr. Parker. “Surprised?” he asked Mr. Westfield with a mischievous smile on his lips, and Mr. Westfield nodded immediately, still surprised. “It’s her decision to accept you as a father figure in her life. I think she took the right decision if she really wants to bond with Liam as his elder sister,” Mr. Parker told him and Mr. Westfield looked back at me immediately. I could see that he was overwhelmed now. “Did you bring papers, Henry?” Mr. Parker asked him and he nodded. He signaled someone and a man with a bag in his hand came forward. He put the bag on the table and then took out a stack of papers from the bag.
