ESTELLE WINTERS "You know fairly well that I don't believe in that shit." He spat, brows lazily raised. My fingers clenched together, my heart throbbing painfully in my chest. Even though he had rejected me, even though I had left without looking back and abandoned every hope of a future with him. Even though he had broken me into pieces. It still didn't change the fact that this man was my mate and hearing him deny our bond made something inside of me break. "Ohh" Luca laughed. "I was just curious, I've heard some rumours that—" "Adriano!" A soft squeal stopped his words. A slender figure flew over, the scent of rose flowers flitted into my nose as the person plunged directly into Adriano's arms. "You didn't tell me that you would be here." The person said. It was a blonde haired woman with crystal blue eyes, her plump lips were coated in a dark shade of red lipstick and her voluptous body was wrapped in a champagne red dress. "Guanita." I heard Adriano call out softly. Guanita pressed a soft kiss on Adriano's cheeks, leaving a red lipstain, her almost unclad breasts rubbing on his arms. "Did you miss me?" She batted her faux lashes "When I asked brother if you would be here, he refused to tell me." She glanced coyly at Luca. Immediately, I put two and two together. This was Luca's sister. I shrunk into myself, trying to make myself look smaller so nobody would notice me any further but the thing is... If wishes were horses, then beggars would definitely ride them. Crystal blue eyes suddenly focused on me. It was Guanita, she was no more wrapped around Adriano like an octopus. "Have I seen you before?" Of course, the question was directed towards me. I didn't get to answer because Luca beat me to it. "Oh yes, sissy. This is...." He trailed off, gaze landing on me. "I am Estelle." I voiced out, voice low in the bustling party hall. "Estelle! And she came with Adriano which is quite a big shock." Luca continued. Guanita raised her brows. "You came with Adriano?" Her lips stretched into a pout as she folded her hands. The air suddenly turned tense as all eyes including the blazing blue ones of Guanita focused on me. My fingers clenched together, my slightly sharp nails digging into the flesh of my palm as I squirmed under their gazes. Luca, the sick bastard had a smirk on his face. He was clearly enjoying this. "Guanita, stop this," Adriano finally said. Guanita's gaze snapped towards him. "So you don't have anything to explain to me?" Adriano raised his brows, then he pulled me into his arms, "And why should I?" The scent of his cologne assaulted my nose as his warmth seeped out of his clad body, smothering me. My lower abdomen tightened, then fluttered hatefully. "You..." Guanita hissed, her chest heaving. "I thought we had an agreement that—" "Guanita, pay attention to your image." This time, it was Luca that spoke, the smirk on his face had been completely wiped off replaced with a tight grimace. Adriano's hands tightened around my waist, I could hear his heart thudding in his chest, accompanied by his laboured breathing. Just what was going on? What is this place and who were this pair of siblings. Guanita walked towards Luca and I watched with weary eyes as the two siblings conversed, then after shooting one last glare at me— Guanita sashayed away, but not without raising her middle finger at me, an act that earned her a glower... From me of course. Adriano led me deeper into the hall, his arms still wrapped around my waist, closer than we had ever been since we walked into this place. My heart pounded in my chest as I looked around, taking in the scenes happening around me. This was a place for Alphas and people in power... "Why did you bring me here?" I finally whispered. He glanced at me, eyes cold. "Don't ask. Just keep mute and stick to me." A strange flame burned in my chest at his answers. "I am not your toy and I will never do as you say!" Adriano paused, dark pupils suddenly turning towards me. "You will do as I say or you will..." "f**k you Adriano Lancaster." I spat, shook him off and hurriedly strode away. I didn't know where I was going to, all I knew was that I needed to be away from him Away from this horribly suffocating place that stunk of money. My heels made soft clicking sounds on the floor as I rounded a hallway that I didn't know earlier existed. I saw a door with a sign on it that read 'Women's Restroom.' and with a sigh of relief, I pushed it open and staggered in, my chest heaving. Once I was safe inside, I turned the lock and sank onto my knees, body trembling as I buried my head into my palms. "Nyx. Nyx. Nyx" I chanted repeatedly, my daughter's name was like a mantra that held me together. The thoughts of her reminded me why I hadn't given up yet. She was the only reason I had held on till now. I heard the soft sound of the door clicking open, it was probably another guest so I didn't bother looking up. "I knew I would find you hiding here." A familiar but unfamiliar voice sounded dangerously close to my ears. My head shot up in shock, eyes raising to meet a familiar but chilling blue gaze. "Luca..." I shot to my feet, voice trembling. "This is the women's bathroom... What are you doing here?" He closed the door softly, leaning on the handle. "Women's bathroom? There's no such thing as that in my house." My chest tightened at the sight of the smirk on his lips. "Ohh, I'll leave then, sorry for trespassing around in your house." I walked towards the door, heart still pounding but Luca stood still, eyes trained on me. "E- Excuse me." Yet, he didn't move an inch, his eyes stayed focused on me. "How did you get to know Adriano?" "That's none of your business," i snapped at him. His eyes darkened, he leaned up from the door and walked towards me. I moved back, hands clenching into fists as he stretched out his hands, reaching for me. Just as he was about to make contact with me, I heard a soft whisper. "Ehh... Estelle? Is that you?"
