Behind her stood a gorgeous man,, a very gorgeous man. He was dressed in a custom made white Tuxedo, which made him look clean, sharp and fresh with his hair laid back in a stylist manner. The details on his suit was top notch, his cuff, buttons and suit napkin were gold, he wasn't wearing a tie but still looked like a prince in his attire. He had blue eyes that could get one lost in boosting his overall appearance.
"Miss, you have to be careful, you could have gotten seriously injured just now".
Athena got back her composure after half a day of staring at the man and taking in his appearance, he seemed familiar but she couldn't quick put where she knew him from.
Grasps of shock could be heard behind them. "it's his highness, wow he looks soo dashing".
Hearing the whispers behind her, Mrs. Lu pushed Athena aside and stood in front of the man.
"Your highness, I am sorry for my step daughter's careless behavior, she must have caused you to strain yourself too much".
Behind her, Athena stood and rolled her eyes at her, silently mocking her "sucking up" behaviour. She didn't know the young man had his eyes on her, he chuckled seeing her eye rolling expression. "it is fine, just be careful next time". He turned wanting to walk away, his quiet space has been disturbed.
Mrs. Lu signaled her daughter to quickly come over, she had to use this opportunity to introduce her. "your highness, may I introduce you to my daughter camela.
Camela stood infront of the prince and flashed her brightest smile, she extended her dainty hands in front of him and bowed showing courtesy "Greetings your highness". The prince looked at her and faked a smile, he had seen such attempts of parents pushing their children towards him several times. He took her hand and kissed it "my lady, such a beautiful woman you are". camela blushed real hard "thank you your highness" she could see the envious and desirable looks from the other maidens and men. Athena being completely ignored snorted and walked out of the hall, she had enough of all this drama, she turned a corner and stood on a balcony, the fresh air was what she needed.
The breeze this night was cold just like her night, she thought she was ready to come out to the world, ready to get revenge on those who hurt her but maybe she wasn't, maybe she had gotten used to the shadows and never wanted to come to the light. She just wanted to be alone all by herself. She sneezed because of the cold, " you should learn to close your mouth while sneezing".
She was taken by surprise, she didn't expect anyone to be here owing to the fact it was an excluded corner. "sorry but who are you".
The man walked out of the shadows and puffed a smoke on her face. "what does it matter?"
It was dark so Athena couldn't quite make clear his face but the night light helped her see his custom tailored made suit, it looked quite expensive even more than the man from earlier but it was the non showy expensive type. she only knew because she was a designer herself, from a glance she could tell this man was no ordinary. Why was she running into unnecessary people this night, it was really tiring and she hadn't even carried out her plan.
Athena rubbed her palm against her head, she was suddenly feeling dizzy and hot inside. She turned wanting to walk away but was suddenly grabbed by the man from behind. "where are you going to, didn't they send you here to amuse me".
Athena looked at the man as if he was crazy, maybe he was really crazy but as he held her she felt an electric shock flow through her body, what was wrong with her, why was she having these reactions to this complete stranger.
"look at your face, it's soo red, are you that turned on? "
Athena felt even more uncomfortable, how was this man seeing her?, it was completely dark, was he even human?
He held her hand really tight and dragged her into a private room on the top floor. All this while Athena kept struggling to get free from his hold but it seemed his hands were metal steel, she didn't know when she was lifted up in the air and thrown on the bed. The man turned on the lights and Athena finally got to see his face. If the man from earlier was handsome then this man in front of her was drop dead gorgeous, his eyes were deep and dark, seeming to suck one's soul into it.
His face was what drew her attention, that beautiful sculptured face with sharp jawlines and eyes would make one faint on the spot. His thin lips were so enticing, she heard men with thin lips had strong libido and persistence.
Embarrassed by her own thoughts she blushed as she tried to take her eyes away from him, the heat she was feeling inside was too much for her to handle, she felt like taking off her clothes. She reached out her hands to pull on her shoulder gown straps when she heard the man in front of her "You were struggling earlier for me to let go and now you are here taking off your clothes", he scowled at her "how typical", Athena could hear the disgust in his voice and a raging fire boiled in her, she couldn't be bothered about him, she just had to leave this place before she humiliated herself more. She stood up to walk out but the man quickly grabbed her hands "where are you going to?, you were gifted to me weren't you?, so come and perform your job, I am feeling quite perched this evening. He smirked at her showing his authority over her.
That smirk disgusted Athena the more, she pushed him away with all her strength but it seemed like an ant trying to pull a bag of sugar. He held her hands and pulled one shoulder strap down, Athena wore a handless bra, causing her cleavage to be exposed. She had always had a voluptuous body, her breasts were full and bouncy. She could see the desire in his eyes as he stared at her breast. "please let me go", Athena started sobbing, seeing that she couldn't get free from this man all she could do was cry. "plea..se.. I beg you!!, I promise I won't tell anyone".
The man in front of her seemed amused, the little girl was interesting, she threw herself at him one moment and cried the next, what was really her agenda?, had she really been sent by his brother?, or maybe she was a spy?, the possibilities were endless. He just wanted to tease her but here she was crying her eyes out.
