âWelcome Miss Alrose , right this way please.â The usher announced , swaying his hand back and forth while descending you to a pathway down the magnificent stairs , the one youâd always dreamed of running down to. It was a great venture to be invited to a formal hall , however this wasnât something you craved for.
Being a part of Alrose and Comrades came along with a lot of benefits including being invited for a great ball. You smiled softly as you watched Frederick and Anne , your sister-in-law indulge in a fun number on the floor , he twirled her around and you could almost hear the fit of giggles escaping her lips.
You dreaded over the idea of not finding a love capable for you , having to live a life with oneself was truly a shame and something you feared especially after witnessing your parentâs relationship come to an end.
Indulge in the good , the bad seemingly can be forgotten.
The words of your father rang through your ears , being an Alrose always meant to follow your heart , leave all the decisions to it. You brushed off your grief a little too late as you stumbled upon something-someone in particular.
âWoah there , are you alright Miss ?â
You quickly recollected your posture but found yourself in his arms , his dainty blue eyes caught your attention while his soft , pink lips were a sirenâs call. His jaw was chiseled , you wonder if his face was structured beautifully by a lot of angels , adding in their own zing with the curve of his lips.
âOh- Iâm sorry Sir.â You quickly blurted out and pushed yourself away from him , your hands tidying your gown that seemingly picked up the residue off the posh floors.
The stranger let out a chuckle , âSorry ? You neednât be sorry if youâre bound to fall into my arms.â
Your brow twitched , studying the words that had just fallen out of his mouth. Bound to fall into his arms ?
âI donât think I quite get you..â
âOh pet , Iâve had tons of misses walk through those doors and adapt to the same situation that blossomed into your brain.â His lips were still hanging on to the rancid smirk , his actions depicting as though he knew it all.
âYouâll have to be more clearer sir.â Your tone seemed demanding , yet you werenât quite ready for the conversation that flowed.
The man gave your shoes a quick glance and asked , âI believe it was the fault of your impeccable shoes that caused the ruckus ?â
You head slowly bowed , signifying a secretive nod. You cursed those shoes-and yourself. This wouldâve been so easy if you had practiced with Anne , you swore you were never going to be fit for the ton.
âThatâs all rubbish.â He snarled , âit was your idea to depict the loosen strings on your shoe , your main motive ? To fall over me and gain my attention.â The smirk seemed to have grown bigger in comparison ever since the wicked words ceased away from his mouth.
âAnd you must be insane !â You glared at the man to death , yet there wasnât a single shiver of shame. âI certainly am not like the other mistresses youâre willing to have , I suggest you leave me alone or youâll have to bear the consequences. My brother works with the police department.â You addressed.
Frederick was only a few meters away , one call and heâd be off to your help right by your side.
You glared at the stranger once again before turning your back to him , the piercing darts of his eyes followed their way back to you. If it was anything an Alrose couldnât bear it was definitely a lie.
