Queen Julia screamed for help the moment Sylvana fell towards the ground, her phone falling next to her and sliding across the floor. All occupants of the house rushed to the girl who had fainted.Dominic grabbed his daughter, taking her to the sitting room where she was to be resuscitated, even Lunaria and Xander went after them as well, even though Lunaria knew that her sister hated her, she didn't wish for her to come to harm and worried that she might have hurt herself from the fall.After a while, Sylvana was revived, she sat up immediately, leaning on her mother, her arms went around her and she began to sob."There, there." Queen Julia placed her hand on her back, patting softly, "It is not the end of the world, hmm? Quit your crying and behave yourself." She whispered to her, "We could still find a way to have the upper hand in his situation."Sylvana pulled away from her mother, nodding, and stayed still as her mother gently wiped away the tears on her face, "That's it." Q

Xander had stated that he had always wanted a wedding on a Friday, he mentioned an outdoor wedding, one taking place in the graceful gardens embodying the surrealness of spring. Lunaria went with it, she loved the idea. She could imagine herself walking down the aisle, her long train hitting the grass, the greenery lifting her mood with the sun rays warming the environment. The date was picked and invites were sent out and of course, one was sent to the St Clairs and it was signed by Lunaria who now went by Madame Ashton not officially but everyone automatically addressed her as that since she is to be Xander's wife. Dominic had been the one to deliver the wedding invite to Queen Julia. The woman who was bridled in bitterness picked about the blue card, she ripped the envelope and brought the card out, holding it with the tip of her fingers and her face morphing into that of disgust. "Who the hell does she think she is now?!" She growled getting up from her seat as she read the d

The wedding banquet had been splendid, Xander Ashton had invited all business partners of his as well as his associates, and the crème de la crème of the society was present to celebrate the day with the new couple. Gifts were presented and speeches were made along with toasts, however splendid it was, it all felt foreign to Lunaria. If she had been raised as she was supposed to, if she was groomed as an heir, she would have been used to all these and know how to socialize but she felt awkward. She tried to smile and wondered if she was smiling too hard, she made small talk wondering if she was disgracing Xander but her husband didn't seem to care, he had a hand placed on the small of her back all through these moments, drawing her close, his smiles comforting her and pulling her through the event. Do you know who you married? Are you married to a man or a monster? These words of the anonymous text she had received echoed through her mind, she had wondered and pondered, watching

Lunaria shifted slightly in her seat, she dropped her fork, eyes wandering around to see that the section of the restaurant was almost empty, and Xander was far away at the moment. She could still feel their gazes when she stared down at her plate, she could hear their seats move, and her heart rhythm heightened as they rose from their seats and began to stalk towards her. Their heels clicked against the ground as they walked in her direction making her nervous with each passing moment. You are Madam Ashton now, you should be confident and not let anyone walk over you, chin up, and give them a piece of your mind. She raised her head, directing her gaze to them, there was a smile on her face which was returned with malicious stares that would kill someone on the spot. "Well, well, well." Sylvana shook her head, folding her arms over her chest, "Would you look at you Lunaria, the ugly duckling dressed in the finest of clothing." "Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make it as gracef

Lunaria looked down at her chapped fingers, she could hear the laughter coming from downstairs while she was huddled in the bedroom under the pretense that she needed some time alone as she had a headache. Xander had flown in hours ago, she had gone with his mother and sister to welcome him at the airport. She had carefully orchestrated how she wanted to tell him the situation about home as she knew she couldn't die in silence but to her surprise, her mother and sister-in-law were Oscar-worthy actresses. If one were to see them at the airport, they would think that Lunaria was a lovely family member of theirs. The way they talked softly to her, and treated her nicely was something that shocked Lunaria to the core. Xander loved the state in which he met his family, seeing that his mother and sister had warmed up to his wife made him elated and Lunaria noticed this, she couldn't ruin it all by telling him what had occurred while he was away. Madam Ashton and Claire had made it a g
