Third Person’s POV Two days before the party… The three held a meeting inside Cassius Condo.Sitting on the center couch, Zion is smiling widely while looking alternately at Cassius and Harriet. He felt happy that he now belongs to group because he reconciled with Cassius and he found out his secret.Meanwhile, Cassius was crossing his arms when he tilted his head and opened his mouth.“I can see the need to talk. But why it had to be in my house?”Zion hurried and gave his reply. “Well, if you are not comfortable, we can come in my house instead and have a meeting there.”At Zion’s suggestion, Cassius shut his eyes and bit his lower lip. His expression obviously showed how much he despised the idea of staying inside other people’s house. He would rather let Zion sit on the couch and clean that spot, instead of going in Zion’s place. He felt like all dirt will stick in his body once he entered Zion’s condo. Although Zion is also a clean freak, Cassius still can’t bear sharing things
In every event, Finn and Sherly always come in a pair. But during the party, Finn does not want to stand by Sherly’s side. Ignore her beauty and elegance. For Finn, she will always be the unwanted wife; the woman who fooled him, who snatched him from the one he truly loved, and who forcefully gave her body when he was drunk. Finn despises his wife. Yet he had no choice but to accept the truth and played his role as the husband. He cannot love her, or the child who made him married Sherly, though. “You too, madam, is so pretty tonight.” “Really? Am I?” “Yes. Especially if madam has sir Finn with your side.” When Harriet said that, the menacing beam on Sherly’s lips has disappeared. Anger rose in Sherly like a huge tide from the ocean. The words that Harriet said to her came like destructive waves which were created in storm conditions. It tended to erode the coast, backwashing and swashing the rage in her chest. She went cold with fury and breathless with rage. Her eyes sparked
Medieval theme. Medieval is related to the middle ages, in the period of European history from AD 600 to AD 1500. During the period, women wore long tunics or gowns. A close fit to the body, full skirts, and long flaring sleeves were characteristic of upper class fashion for both men and woman. The under-tunic or chemise which was made of linen, and over it, a long ankle-reaching turn was worn by women. When Madell read from her mother’s letter that the theme for Cassius’ welcome party is Medieval, she hardly believed. Who would set up a party like those in the middle ages when King, Queen, Princes, Princess ruled the kingdom along with knights and dukes? However, in the end, Madell believed her mother. She thought that Sherly has no reason to make a fool out of her daughter. But when Madell entered the hall of the mansion, she had doubts. Tonight, Madell is wearing a long swing dress gown that has a puff shape shape. In medieval dress, the taste for colors was the brighter the be
Reese did not surrender trying to contact Astell Wyatt, the man she saved before and the man who can be her father if the plan will work.“He must be so busy today,” Reese sighed while looking at the screen of her phone.Thinking that she will give it another go tomorrow, she went back to the hall. A moment ago, Reese came out because she cannot bear seeing Harriet as the brightest star in the party. She was dying in jealousy, therefore she came out to remind herself that soon, it will be her turn.‘Once I became the billionaire’s daughter, all will look at me with awe,’ Reese said to herself, imagining the life she will have as Astell’s child, Nadia.There was guilt and hesitation in her heart before. She once contemplated if it is okay to steal Harriet’s identity and pretend to be Nadia. Yet now, her decision of pretending as Nadia became as sturdy as steel, or as unmovable as mountain. Reese even imagined things she will do as soon as she proclaimed the title that isn’t hers.First
“Oh Mr. Astell! It is so good to finally see you!” When Finn Fabroa came, Astell and Harriet pulled their hands away from each other. Cassius stared at Harriet, who’s bowing her head while biting her lower lip. He has no idea why Harriet is acting like this but he wanted to comfort her somehow, although he also need her touch since Finn suddenly came closer to them. Thus, Cassius extended his left hand on his side and grabbed Harriet’s hand. Harriet lifted her head to look at the tall man beside her. In this moment, they became each other’s strength and comfort. “Good evening, Mr. Finn Fabroa,” Astell greeted then made a quick handshake with Finn. Quietly, Harriet and Cassius stared at Finn and Astell. “I was so surprised that Mr. Astell will come at our humble welcome party for my nephew,” Finn said, taking a quick glimpse on Cassius. Just meeting his eyes made Cassius shivered. “Your nephew invited me here so I came. This is such a pleasure,” Astell answered. Finn’ right br
A handsome man and woman dancing in the middle of the hall. No eyes can’t take off them, neither Madell and Zion. Madell was so excited to come in the party to see her cousin. But when she arrived, she found out that Harriet is his partner, and worst, they are dating. ‘I was only away for couple of days and he’s already dating my cousin!?’ Madell shouted inwardly while gnawing her lower lip. In her eyes, Harriet is a b*tch who seduced Cassius because she has an ambition to go the top. ‘I cannot tolerate this. Never!’ Madell swore. “Since when did they start dating?” Madell asked to her older brother, who’s standing beside her. Zion did not answer. Instead, he just watched the two dancing while looking at each other’s eyes. “I thought that b*tch, I mean, Harriet likes you. What happened?” Madell kept asking Zion. Harriet likes Zion. That’s the truth. During this party, Zion reminded that to himself again and again. But still, he found it hard to feel unaffected while watching a
Cassius saw hatred at Harriet’s face as soon as Reese approached their side. One thing that puzzles him is how she tried to hide her disgust against the maid. In his case, he’s hiding his expression so the illness of his will remain secret. Harriet has no illness to hide, but she seems to cover something more than a disease. “You are so pretty today!” Reese greeted Harriet. She glanced back at Cassius and bowed her head to show respect. “Good evening, sir Cassius.” Thinking that he has no reason to respond at her greeting, Cassius wordlessly just stared at her. As Reese sensed the piercing stare from the handsome man, she awkwardly looked back at Harriet again and smiled. “Omg!” Reese gasped, pointing her with both of her hands. “I did not expect to see you like a princess, Harriet. I thought you said that you don’t have any dress to wear.” Because Harriet came beautifully like this, Sherly was so mad at Reese, thinking that she gave her a false information. ‘Just because you h
Harriet’s POV Days ago before the party, Marie came to me with a very important information.“Miss, I found this in Reese’s cabinet.”She showed me a powder like substance that resembles white sand.“When Cris went inside our room, she said that she saw Reese sitting in front of the mirror table. Then, she suddenly hid a pouch inside her cabinet, locked it and dashed out of the room with pale face. So I looked what she was hiding and found this.”I stared at the powder she placed inside a transparent plastic bag.“Then how did you get this when Reese locked the cabinet?”Marie looked to her left and right, then scratched her nape. “W-Well, I have a little talent for that.” Then she gave me an awkward laughed.Well, her skills became advantageous.“So did you steal this from her?” I asked.“No!” she answered. “Not literally stealing. The powder is in a expensive looking pouch. So what I did is get some of it and transferred to another pouch.”“Good job. If you stole it, she will susp
