"...And he just ran out like that." I explained drawing in a deep breath as i laid on his bed.
Immediately it was dawn, I ran down to Asher's room. As last night's event kept flashing in my head and I was confused.
"So, you mean to say that Haden was pissed because of your diary?"
I nodded, wondering where he was going.
"That's unusual... I'm not saying that he is not always pissed but he can't just get angry unnecessarily because of a book." He brushed his hair with his fingers.
"Or..." He smirked.
"It might be something you wrote in it. Maybe something steamy and he got really jelly about it." He raised his eyebrows up and down as he gave me a sly smirk. I just rolled my eyes and punched his shoulders.
"Hey! Careful I'm the vampire here." He mockingly flashed his fangs and I stood up with an eye roll.
"I'm getting back to work. If you have nothing comforting to say." I faked a glare and he laughed.
"But seriously, Cecile. I'm sure there's a deep meaning behind his reaction, can I see the diary for a clue?"
"Hmmm. Maybe later, and I heard there's a party this weekend in the mansion?"
"Yeah,it's the last one before the guests leave. I heard it was a masked party so you make sure all servants are in the ballroom by tomorrow morning to start preparing for it."
I nervously nodded. This was going to be a long week. I sighed.
"Don't worry", Asher soothed. " I'll be there to make sure nothing happens."
*****************
I sighed. The week was ao stressful and I hope tonight would make for it.
Standing in front I a small mirror I checked my appearance again. I wasn't a make up girl but I had to put some effort if I didn't want to be the odd one.
My mask was of a silver color matching my dress and the jewelry I had on me. Weirdly all slave jewelry, clothes and shoes Were all stacked in a small room and it's to be returned after usage.
I snorted at the rule. The vampires do know how to make stupid and demeaning rules. I checked my self again and left the room.
The halls were quiet and empty, every few minute I would pass by a slave who was rushing to the party or running errands. I walked silently, taking a few turns and walking down a few stairs before I stopped in front of a double door.
I frowned a little. The doors were not guarded tonight and it was really unusual. All doors in the mansion were guarded except for the slave rooms and kitchen of course.
I pushed the door open and smiled at the decorations. We really pulled this off nicely, I nodded in approval as our hard work really paid off.
Soft music played in the room as a few couple were dancing to the music while a few were socializing of enjoying the food.
Everyone here had a mask on so it was difficult to tell who was who.But one fact stood out and that was the clear rift between the slaves and the nobles.
Even a stranger would notice it as the nobles seemed to outshine with their show of wealth and status.
"Ladies and Gentlemen..." A sharply dressed man announced on a stage.
"It's time we welcome the Lord of this house and his Lady as they step into the room. Please welcome Lord Edward and Lady Evelyn."
The whole room was silent as the double doors opened revealing the Lord and his wife as the walked with ego. Everyone clapped as they walked in and at the same time the guests started to murmur facts or rumors about the two especially the Lady.
Her attire was the most eye catching as everything she wore seemed to twinkle as she sauntered.
They both stopped at the center of the room and soft music followed as they started to waltz, everyone else joined the couple as they danced all night.
I just sighed and walked to the food table, seeing as no one asked me for a dance instead I would just wallow in my misery alone.
"Surprise surprise. I knew I would find you here." An unfamiliar voice interrupted.
I look up and I frowned. I haven't seen him before but he seemed like one of the guests. I looked around me to make sure he wasn't talking to someone else.
"I'm sorry, are you talking to me?"
"And she's dumb to..." He chuckled. He moved closer and grabbed my chin, "and very very seductive. I wonder were Edward found you? Or maybe at a slave shop I didn't know of." He rambled to himself.
"Get your hands off me." I stood up and pushed his hands off me.
" Becareful slave, your boy toy isn't here. You better cooperate or it might get ugly."
I stood frozen, I looke around me and realized most people were either dancing or not paying attention to us.
"Come on, I'll make it fun you'll come for more. I'm sure you can't resist me after I've f****d you."He winked. He grabbed my behind and forced his lips on mine.
I pushed and hit him as he started to get rough with me.
" f*****g b***h, I'm sure Edward wouldn't mind me teaching his little slave some respect."
No, I thought as ran away from him. Most people were oblivious to my misery and I almost hurled.
I searched the room for Asher, but he was nowhere in sight. I looked behind me and sighed when he was stopped by another vampire.
He glared at me before turning away.
Before the night ended I walked out of the room feeling emotionally drained. I sighed again and left for my room.
Halfway to my room I was met with a disturbing sight. Two couples were aggressively making out while grabbing each other.
"Your room", the lady whispered in between their moment and the Vampire just pulled her hands as her dragged her forward.
I followed behind them quietly, not wanting them to notice me.
They both stopped in one of the guest rooms and I gasped.
That was Lady Evelyn! She looked around not seeing me where I was hiding. Her lover pulledd her in as he opened the door.
Wow. I thought as I stood there in shock.
That was interesting...
The rest of my journey I wondered how a mated vampire could cheat on her partner.
I thought they would be insperable.
