Ella's POV.

Everything was already in its place and a few guests had arrived already. So I think it was time to start the party. There was no use in keeping them waiting anymore.

I slowly get out of my room and I lock it. It was better if I locked all the rooms. I mean, we have guests here today and someone might sneak inside of one of the rooms and steal something without us knowing. So there was no need in risking that.
