2024-10-29 19:42:56When it was confirmed that there was no fire but it was just a rumour spread by somebody then Van Dough asked everybody to get in.
As the customers were already out so they closed the club for a night.
"Everybody, there is a party here on Saturday and as the theme is masquerade so all of you have to dress up in beautiful maxis or what do we say..." Van Dough said then he was quiet, confused not know what to say.
"Ballgowns..." Jewel said in an excited tone and Van Dough immediately nodded.
"Isn't it excited?" Doll whispered to Amelia who just stood there reacting awkwardly.
"I assume you never went to a masquerade.." Doll asked and Amelia shook her head.
"Well, now is the chance.." Doll replied, happiness in her voice.
"I've just seen in it movies.. but I always wished to go to masquerade and find the love of my life.. dance with him." Amelia, lost in deep thoughts said to Doll who responded, "Well, who knows you mi

Van Dough walked in and was amazed to see Amelia in this dress."Wow..." the words escaped his mouth in amazement. "So, you've selected the dress for yourself. I see.." he added.As the party was two days away, therefore, everyone was busy with the preparations. And fortunately, Van Dough didn't ask her to go to any man.The dresses of all of them were hung on the railings of the makeup room and everyone had selected their dresses for the party.The girls were really excited as it was the biggest masquerade party of the season. And Van Dough had invited the richest men of New York.Masquerade in the silver moon? Well, it's not really any other masquerade party but a weird one. And Amelia wasn't even aware of it.Later when Van Dough asked all of the girls to gather in the meeting room as he had some important things to say."Okay, you all are aware of the party, how it happens and what are your tasks.. and Amelia is new so you guys ha
Black Lace 31. BRINGING HER DOWN.
She can't go down in this torn dress... Van Dough had sent away all the remaining dresses back to the stores. Now she doesn't even have a second option to wear.Means.. she is not attending the party? She wished to see the masquerade party in her life.. now that her dress is ruined, what will she do?A tear rolled down her cheek. Why do her dreams always break away? She can't even stay happy for a minute.Another second and the tears started flowing from her eyes, heavy much.. she cried and sobbed, sitting on the floor of changing room.After full five minutes, a girl came in and called out her name."Amelia.," she said and got no response. Then, she heard sobs coming from the changing room, as she walked there and opened the door, she was startled."Amelia!" she said and got on her knees, fidgety all over her face."H-Hope.." she stuttered crying, taking big hiccups as she trying to speak."What happened?" asked the concerned
Black Lace 32. DANCING DREAM.
The moment everybody laid eyes on her was the moment Jewel stared at her in astonishment. The girl was too beautiful, like an angel walking down the earth.Although her face was covered with a delicate yet pretty mask out of all the ladies in the party, she was the shining star.The smirk on Christian's face grew big while Kristopher saw the girl next to her, dressed in a red ballgown. And it somehow attracted him.The rich men in the party seemed to be amazed at the black-dressed girl and a few walked to her, offering a drink or a dance as she politely refused them and walked to the bar side."Do you want to have a drink?" Hope, who was dressed in a red dress, wearing a mask, asked Amelia."No, I don't drink..." she refused.Jewel without saying a word stomped her feet towards the stairs and went upstairs.Christian took one quick look towards Jewel, then said, "You know what, I am going to dance.."Kristopher, who
Black Lace 33. DOUBLE STANDARDS.
She never shows much of what she holds inside. All the tears lining her heart like cracks on a wall. Treating everyone she meets with kindness. Her face wearing a smile that fools them all. Deep inside of her lives a story. One of disappointment and regret. The words line her veins with all her pain. Of all the dreams that have slipped away through time. She wears a locket around her neck. It holds pictures of a life she would love to live. She never opens it, but she keeps it there.Like a wish that she never whispers, even so, herself, so many dreams, so many desires. And yet so much fear, hiding deep behind her smile. A locket filled with hopes of life, filled with love. A dream to open it and share it with the world.Christian was lost in his thoughts until Amelia interrupted him saying, "What is it?""Nothing." he shook his head. The dance was finished when Stig and Spikes were talking because of Hope and Amelia. They, but pretended not to know each o
Black Lace 34. SPECIAL MOMENTS.
The air is more humid than normal, the breeze rocking the currents towards them as the night hits its full stride and the lights of the city burst into life.He had this insatiable need to keep her safe, even here in the solitude, just away from the riverside restaurant.They were looking out to sea, watching beyond the crashing of the waves, just counting down the days she would treasure him, see him and feel him again.Who doesn't like to take an amble along the beach? There is something to be said for the liquid and sand allure of the seashore.The sounds that surround you and the polished brilliance of the light have a way of burgling of the soul and staying there long after you have left. You walk alone, with a man by your side, letting the operatic song of the sea wash over you and admiring the exquisite beauty of the colours.You are lost in the bliss of your creative imagination as you notice that the sea is created a roll of cyan-blue, the

"Okay, tell me about it... everything," Hope sneaked in Amelia's room and after everybody went to sleep, both of them talked... whispering actually."Oh, its nothing..." she blushed, recalling the romantic moments she and Stig spent together."But Amelia... I have a thought..." Hope who seemed to lost deep in thoughts turned her face towards Amelia who was laying on the bed."What is it?" she asked attentively."What if both of them are fooling us around..." Hope said fascinated."See, they kept on wearing the masks and never took it off. What are they trying to hide?" and she somewhat made a point."Next time they are meeting us, I'm asking them to remove the mask. And if not I will force them. Otherwise, we are not meeting again," Hope was babbling while Amelia kept on thinking."We'll see..." she replied.Next day when she was taken to Van Dough, he shouted on her."Where did you run away?" he asked in vexation."I

"Stig hasn't called me yet. And I went to the beach two times... he wasn't even there," Amelia with a long, pouty face said to Hope who comforted her by saying, "He will. Just wait..."Later that night she was in her room, staring out of the balcony... due to some major problems in the silver moon, it was being shut down and Amelia along with all of the girls was free.While Van Dough was going through the matter... he was in pure fidgety.Amelia was given a room so she was not worried but the girls were living with each other or with families, cousins and relatives.Nobody knew who complained about the silver moon but whoever did, he was someone rich.Amelia was thinking about her mother... the only source of living she has.She just frightens from her father... only if he hasn't harmed her till now.Although she was living a life of a maid... but it was simple. At least she had no fear that she has to present herself in front of a man.

"Idiot! Where the bloody hell is he?" Chris murmured under his breath, standing in front of a private jet, surrounded by bodyguards.It was seven in the morning, the birds chirping and the smell of fresh flowers and fruits spread in the air."Sir, we are ready to take off," the pilot informed and he clenched his fist in anger.Kristopher and Christian should be running away at this time of hour because he doesn't want to get engaged yet.Well, technically Christian Valentino and Blair Fernsby are engaged but secretly, only their families know this.But throwing an engagement party means... making it public... which clearly, he doesn't want.What if Amelia saw him on the TV or she comes to congratulate him? She will not even know that he is her Stig.Can he let that happen?"No!" he said loudly."I'm sorry, sir. What?" asked the bodyguard and he immediately strode in the jet and got seated.He, a few more times called

Black Lace 91. BLESSED IN LOVE.
"That girl there... in the wedding dress who is pretending to be the heartbroken one.. is actually the one who caused me agony and pain. She slept with the guy who was the marketing manager in my company. Not even one time... but many times. Also, Blair hid that she can't be a mother, ever!" he spat in anger when Blair's eyes were nothing but bulged out."So, tell me, people. Who would marry the girl who betrayed me two fucking times? I would never...""Amelia had sacrificed her love for me... she told me to marry her. Why? Because my happiness is much more important to her. Even though she's carrying my child..." he added confidently making all of the guests chocked while Blair was going insane."Christian Valentino! You can't do this to me!" Blair piqued in anger as she walked to him whilst her arm was being held in the midway."Papa..." she murmured when her father's face was covered with scorn.Blair gulped and added, "Papa, he is lying.

The bride followed in a white lacy dress, escorted by her friends. They walked in a slow and doll-like pace. The wedding was also an occasion for socializing.Blair's face was impassive, she was clearly annoyed.The guests were gossiping about the bride and the groom. Everybody was thinking that the groom wasn't coming and he ditched her at the last moment.Stacey was so sure that her grandson has run away but the best friend was here. He might know something."Amelia..." Christian said in a low voice when he saw Amelia was standing close to the water, her bare feet on the sand.In front of her were the magnificent view, the sea, the sky and the wind.The waves roll in, each of them as strong and bold as the last. They come without fear of the beach, embracing their destiny upon the dawn sands. Amelia walks forwards until the water soaks her bare feet, her shoes already dangling in her left hand. Not once does she gaze downward a

Weddings are grand affairs. Normally, it only occurs once in a lifetime. It brings about a bondage between a man and a woman.They promised to share the happiness and the sorrows together. It is a very pure bond in the whole world.The wedding hall was all illuminated with different colour bulbs and decorated with pots of flowers, pots and other glittering decorations. A magnificent platform was erected which held two throne-like chairs for the bride and the bridegroom.The platform and the stage was the banquet hall of a five-star hotel with its thick red carpets and floral decorations. The cool fragrance was so strong that everyone left sleepy. There was a place by the side for music troops with their enormous music instruments. They played loud and soft music.The marriage party was to start at six in the evening and the wedding reception was scheduled at eight in the night.A big white canopy with tons of white lilies and purple orchids were pl

"Listen to me, Bryce..." Blair whispered in a very low voice when she was in the suite of the Plaza Hotel, surrounded by the makeup artists."Excuse me, people..." she said to the makeup artists and hairstylists who went away leaving the two of the friends."What is it?" Bryce asked sipping the glass of her wine as she was comfortably leaning back on the seat, wearing a bathrobe.Blair's hair was half tied up while the rest let loose on her both sides of the shoulders."By the way, you are going to make a very pretty bride," the best friend complimented when Blair rolled her eyes as she hushed her up."Shut up and listen to me..." Blair said when she continued, "I can't conceive...""What do you want to conceive anyway?" Bryce asked with a narrowed brow and Blair, again, rolled her eyes."Are you drunk, already?" she asked with an irritated face and Bryce nodded saying, "Because it's my best friend's fucking wedding.""Also, sh

The wedding day has arrived and Christian's anxiety was increasing with every minute passing by.He was awake but not leaving the bed, scared to step out and face the world.Amelia, who woke up before him and had a shower and prepared the breakfast, walked in the room and spoke, "Come on, have something. The breakfast is ready."He tossed to the other side saying, "Not hungry..." and she knew why he wasn't eating."Christian..." she stepped in the bed and put her small hand on his face to cup it as she spoke, "Christian... you are a strong guy. Don't be a coward.""I am a coward, Amelia. I can't face the world. I can't face Blair and all of my family members and the press and... and you... How can I face you after the wedding? How can I part the time from my schedule to handle two women at a time, if that's what you're thinking," he blurted out without thinking and sits to lean back on the bed as he continued, "You the most important person i

"No need to wear the bow with it," Kristopher said to his best friend who was checking the bow if it matched with his tuxedo."I was thinking the same," he replied as he gave the bow back to the sales guy.Christian and Kristopher were in the Armani store, selecting the wedding suit for the groom.His face was impassive, he had no excitement, no happiness or any other emotion in his face.Tomorrow is his wedding and he is not happy at all. What was he waiting for? The wedding to happen or the wedding to get stopped?"Christian, your grandma wants to meet you..." Kristopher informed him when he was lost in deep thoughts.When the guilt comes it takes him down the old familiar path. He wants to refuse to walk it, pretend that he's the person he demands that he would be. He wants to see himself in sepia tones, not perfect colour. He wants to scrub his head, but if he did he'd never learn from what happened. And it's true what they say, “T

Christian and Amelia were bare skin, laying close to each other, her head rested on his chest as she heard the slow heartbeats of him.His heart beats around her was always leisure as if he was calm and relaxed with her.The ring of his phone interrupted their peace and as he saw the name, he quickly stood up from the bed, wearing his clothes, as he attended the call."Yes, Blair?" he spoke when he turned the speaker on, wearing the pants."Baby, where are you?" she asked in a sweet voice when Amelia quickly made an awkward face by squinting her eyes as she raised one side of the mouth, babbling with no voice and Christian indicated her to stay quiet.After talking on the phone when Amelia was laying on the bed, she copied Blair's voice by saying, "Babbyyyy... where are you, baby? Christian... come to me, please.""My hair will go white if you don't come in a minute..." she said with the change of voice when he chuckled and said, "did

When Christian didn't say a word, she understood as she withdrew her hand from his grip and the machines which were attached to her started beeping continuously.Blair's breath was high by now and she was struggling for air. Gasping for oxygen when Christian quickly pressed the help button next to her bed and made her wear the oxygen mask.Blair wasn't wearing the oxygen mask when the doctors came in they rushed towards her as they said, "Wear this mask.""No... I... won't. Christian... I want... answers," she said gasping for air struggling not to wear the oxygen mask.The doctors along with Christian was trying to wear her the oxygen mask."Blair, I will give you the answer. First, wear this mask," he pleaded when she refused to wear the oxygen mask.He gave up and quickly said, "Okay, Blair. I promise you to be your groom and we will get married on the same day."The seconds she heard those relaxing words, she immediately wor
