(She was walking out of the hall when she bumped hard into someone in their broad chest as her mask fell. She looked up and saw a guy of about 6 feet 2 inches tall in a long trench belted coat as he wore a cardigan inside together with its slimfit trousers and boots defining an executive gesture. He wore a round crown hat with an eagle tag as he had no masquerade mask on and all that he wore was all in black to the end. Although she couldn't see his full face, because of the mask he wore, his siren piercing brown eyes were something that she couldn't stop admiring and she knew it was definitely Vicenzo. He's the only one who'd dress this mysterious anyways, she thought)
Her: h-hey I'm sorry, I wasn't looking...hahaha(she said as she chuckled nervously)(Vicenzo on the other hand neither moved nor spoke, for as much as he hated to admit, he was really astonished by the beauty that stood before him..."she's breathtaking gorgeous..." He said to his inner self as he just stood there put.she was kinda hurt as she then gestured to walk away when he held her by the arm and..)
Vicenzo: I'm sorry, I zoned out..(he said briefly as he maintained eye contact) you were saying..?(She on the other hand, felt this little rush down her spine and this dangling uneasy feeling in her stomach the moment he held her and spoke. It was the first time ever hearing his voice this close and in flesh, and it was so damn deep and charming enough to send her into a coma for months. She just felt like falling into his arms at the moment.)
Her: oh...,it's fine...I said nothing really...
Vicenzo: right...mmm..(he muttered, as there was something about her, he just couldn't stop staring not thinking of even letting go)
Her: okayyy...it was uh, nice speaking to you, I'm sorry but I have to leave...(She said expecting him to let go of her arm but he just nodded mind absently as he still stared at her. "Stop that... please...ugh...your eyes dude! If I pass out, it's on you' she said to herself. She then slowly tried pulling her arm from his grip when he realized and quickly let go...)
Vicenzo: I'm sorry...(He said)
Her: no worries ..(smiles)
(He then stood there as she walked away, and just when he took three steps forward he suddenly turned in a heartbeat as...)
Vicenzo: 'wait'!...'c-h-l-o-e'(He uttered not even above a whisper, but she had already disappeared in the crowd. Before he could think of anything, he heard someone call him from behind as he turned...)
Male voice: sir...
Vincenzo: (clears his throat )yes...?
Him: Don meadows awaits you please...
Vicenzo: yeah, right...(He said in a somewhat tone as he glanced back once more and..) Sure...okay..
Him: this way please...(Gesturing him to use the left....)
Vincenzo: mm(nods)
Back to the other side...
(They were seated chatting cheerfully with some other associates when Connor suddenly approached them with Vicenzo.Bianca's cheery smile slowly faded at the sight of her brother as she tightened her grip on Damian's arm and glanced over to him. Damian just sat there keeping his composure as if nothing was at stake...)
Damian: Vicenzo!!!(He called out excitedly)
( He then took off his hat revealing his clean cut slicked back hair and sat down as he placed it beside him)
Vicenzo: hope I'm not late, sorry if I am...I had things to take care of
Damian: no you're not, the party has just started....
....
Damian: uhmmm..(looks around) where's mad?
Vicenzo: oh she uh...(adjusts himself well in the sofa he sat in) She had her plans ...sorry
Damian: oh okay...you're here, that's what matters...(Laughs briefly)
(Vincenzo just glanced at bianca from time to time as he noticed something familiar about her, but what?...he just somewhat feels he knows her but can't seem to put her in the right place of recognition)..
(Just then)
Bianca: (to Damian) I need some air (she said)( and he didn't even get to respond when she suddenly got up, excused herself out and left..)
(The moment she left)
Vicenzo: who's she?
Damian: (without hesitation) she's my wife...!( Just when he ended his sentence, Connor who was seated nearby and was somewhat listening to them from the start, spat out his drink in shock)
Connor: I'm sorry, I'm sorry....(He said and wiped the center table on which the drink had spilled. Vicenzo had his eyebrow raised in surprise as he didn't expect that at all, Damian on the other hand just sighed as he cursed his inside giving Connor hard stares, swearing to himself that he'd kill anyone who makes him get caught tonight )
Vicenzo: I see, you never told me you were even engaged, not talking of being married already?...
Damian: oah yes...I was planning on doing that later for I realized you were busy and stuff, and uh the problem of not knowing the whereabouts of your sister also kicked in recently so I decided not to push it ..
Vicenzo: speaking of my sister, do you know where she is yet?...
Damian: not yet...I'm still ...
Vicenzo: you should bother yourself no more,I'll take it from where you left off...
Damian: what?...no, I mean...I ... Vicenzo..let me handle it...besides, I've already started so let me just continue and...
Vicenzo: Damian...
Damian: yes..?
Outside the restaurant... around 12am...
(She was seated in one the swinging chairs lost in her thoughts when Zara and kael approached her...)
Zara: (as she walked in calculated footsteps towards her) well, well, well, would you look at whom we have here ...'the lost princess'
Bianca: w-what do you want...? (She said nervously as she stood up and stepped back the moment she came near)( Kael on the other end just leaned on the flower bed's stand as he had a smoking bud in his mouth, staring leisurely at them...)
Zara: nothing...I'm just here for a little chit chat..you know...we haven't properly introduced our selves....(Smiles)(Bianca just felt this weird aura brush over her 'what is she up to'? She thought)....
.....
Zara: I'm Zara, Damian's ex fiancée, guessing you know that already,our chemistry was toxic and the best actually... gurl...have you tried his dick?...yeah you probably have.. giving your closeness, well...
(From behind)
Kael: fuck up Zara, just go straight to the damn point...!!(He said briefly)
Zara: you heard the man...so uhmm..(takes a step forward as she also took a step behind...)
Kael: (shouts) don't worry babygirl, she doesn't bite...!(He said with a chuckle.Zara just had a smirk on her face as she plucked a flower nearby ..)
Zara: (sniffs in the good smell of the flower as she) Damian is mine, so I think you should back off and stay away from him...(She said shortly with a desperate smile)
Bianca: i-i- can't do that...I love him...(She said as a little fright echoed in her voice...this wasn't her,this isn't who she truly is, so why is she all scared...?)
(Zara just let out a pitiful laugh as she didn't expect her to say that...)
Zara: I'm sorry?...did you say you love him?
Bianca: y-yes...
(Zara's smile suddenly fades as her face returned to it's normal signature self just a little scary but freaking hot. She then drew much closer to bianca and stared straight into her eyes not breaking the eye contact)
Zara: he doesn't love you...you're not right for him...mark my words he'll eventually break your heart and leave you, you're just like all the other girls he's been with since I broke up with him...you're a mistake..he solely belongs to me...
Bianca: lies...those are lies...(She said with sobs evident in her tone) He'd never do that...
Zara: (chuckles) yeah right...says who?...you?...the pawn..? (She said as she crushed the flower she held in a heartbeat, the moment she ended her sentence. The moment she crushed the rose flower, bianca flinched a little in fear as she held tight her grip on the tip of her dress on the sides. And just when Zara could say any other thing...)
Damian: Zara!!!...( He shouted her name and walked towards them with a pissed expression as he approached them, glared at Zara and gently pulled bianca in his arms, hugging her tightly)
Damian: (undertone that only bianca could hear) I'm here...you're okay...I'm here...( He then turned to Zara) If you try this again, I promise you that would be the last you feel your tongue...
Zara: oh please...(rolls her eyes) all this for what?..I mean... because of who exactly?...her?...the pawn...you...
Damian: just shut up Zara..!!!
Zara: oh, I thought you liked it wide open...(She said maintaining the stare as kael shouted from behind...'that was so hot!')
Damian: fuck you...
Zara: give me a break...y...
(Before the words could properly come out of her guts, he held her by the jaw with his left hand and squeezed it as he stared at her with disgust...'how can such a beautiful woman be so nasty?...he thought)
Damian: do not tempt me Zara, just don't...(He said and aggressively let go of her, angrily glanced at kael giving him the 'this goes to you also' look and then gently held bianca as they walked away, leaving Zara to pull her self together as she felt like just killing bianca with her bare hands..)
