WANTING A DEAD GIRL

CHAPTER FIVE-GLASS CAGE

"Oh my!! This dress looks stunning on you dear”

The sales lady spoke as I stared at myself standing looking beautiful in the large mirror, the red dress felt like silk on my body, hugging my curves tightly as the silt showed my legs giving an illusion to a man sensual thought. I loved it, it made me look different and feel different like I could conquer any man with this look and ever since I knew I was dying I felt like I owe myself to make it fun and that includes seducing anyone my fantasy clicks on.

“Wait let me ask my friend if this is appropriate for the event”

I say to the lady as Julie walks in from the changing room looking rather too simple, wearing just a simple short black gown, so maybe I over did it choosing this outfit? I asked myself as I stared at Julie who had a shocked expression on her face upon seeing me.

“No Julie, I would change into something more appropriate”

I said thinking that’s what Julie shocked expression meant.

“What? No!, I mean to say your dress is perfect and any man would kill to see you on this as well and don’t worry you’ll steal the spotlight tonight baby girl”

Julie said with false enthusiasm as she really envied Lilith looking prettier than her as she knew today’s party was one in a million and only 1% of very important and wealthy men can attend and she been invited was to provide a girl that would replace her from being bought by those old sick bastards and becoming a slave forever but looking at Lilith again she knew that it was important to make her look so perfect that they’d ignore her so she can escape without them changing their mind, and if she dared looked to beautiful they might sell both of them so she needed to be careful and think about how those old rich bastard would buy and make her their slave forever only then did Julie smiled a genuine smile towards Lilith.

“But your dress, its so simple, I don’t want too seem that I’m doing too much and ...”

Lilith felt self conscious as she imagined people staring and judging her for doing to much in someone else’s party and with that been a plus one, Julie noticing this self doubt began praising her that she chose to wear a simple dress because her period was to painful to bear too wear a tight rigid clothe and complaining all night. With understanding Julie bought the dress from the sales lady as they both left to go get ready for the evening.

¤The Marquis event 8pm sharp¤

Driving into the majestic residence, it looked like a castle, with a grand entry and servants looking like that from a fairy-tale novel, it was like she was in a novel but this time instead of carriages we use exquisite cars and Lilith couldn’t help but be amazed by the beautiful well decorated scenery, the large drive way and the gold ornaments used to decorate the grand entrance to the main ball and seeing people who looked well groomed and at that moment she didn’t regret wearing this dress as Julie was right but felt bad for Julie as she wasn’t just wearing a simple black dress but she didn’t put any effort on makeup or accessories and worse she had a pale expression as if instead of a party she was going to witness something worse , trying to lighten the atmosphere

“ the organiser is a really nice person, he sent a limousine and a driver as well to pick us up, there’s something you aren’t telling me Julie, are you in favour with the organiser, you can be honest julie?”

Lilith asked as she looked at her friend expectantly, trying to at least start a conversation with her friend as she seemed off ever since entering the limo to the ball

Julie just shook her head tired as of course she couldn’t tell Lilith the truth that the organiser is a twisted man who loves to pamper he’s chicken’s before slaughtering and all these money and cars was for Lilith to be comfortable enough for her to be sold at the highest bidder and that it was meant to be her in Lilith place but since she f***s the old greedy man, he gave her an option to pick a girl and send in to replace her and she in return would have her freedom or he sells her and she become someone else’s s*x toy and over my dead body would that happen twice, so Lilith was picked as she’d fit into every man’s fantasy so why not and without an ounce of guilt as she’d always despised Lilith for looking and attracting every guy she wanted or had so a Little pay back wouldn’t hurt.

“Julie you didn’t answer me?”

Lilith asked shaking her already mindless friend as she jumped back to reality

“Julie are you okay? You seem too tensed ?,let’s go back since you don’t feel well”

Lilith says trying to speak to the driver to reverse but Julie stops her with a hard glare, pushing her aggressively to her seat, ruffling her hair a little

“Are you alright? Stop thinking about me and stop disgracing me as well. What where you trying to do?”

Julie snapped at Lilith who recoiled back into her seat as she only wanted to care for her friend who is acting so off character.

“Is everything OK miss ?”

The driver sent asked from the drivers row, sensing the tense atmosphere

“Yes you may drive”

Julie spoke coldly as the driver reaches the front entrance, coming down he runs to open the door for the two misses.

Skin fair as snow and hair white like silk, wearing a red off-shoulder dress that hugs her figure so well it was impossible not to take a second look at the masked white-haired lady and Walking Down the staircase, Lilith felt all eyes on her as she walked down looking enchanting as always, both men and women began to become enchanted with her beauty as no one compared to Lilith tonight and Julie felt a pang of jealousy hit her as she was always and would only be a side character whenever she’s next to Lilith and she loathed Lilith for it.

Reaching the bottom of the staircase men fought to have her hand to be the first to dance/greet the seductress in red but Julie intercepted as she took Lilith further away from the hungry preying eyes from her own bait.

“Stay here and drink a Little, not much cause I know you are very lightheaded and please don’t converse with anyone as these men may seem like prince charming but most are married, with grandchildren or even worse players”

Julie said handing over a champagne to Lilith as she was turning to leave

“But where are you going? You are really going to leave me here ?”

Lilith asked slightly annoyed that she’d just bring her to a party, shout at her and then leave her in a lone corner and still tell her what and not what to do, like she’s a child. Groaning inwardly Julie suppressed her irritated face behind her black mask as she smiled sheepishly at her stupid friend

“I just want to say hi to the organisers and then thank them for their kind gesture and also asked them if I can introduce you to them and if you tipsy that wouldn’t be a nice impression, would it?”

Julie explained staring at Lilith as she nodded her head in understanding, getting that Lilith understood, Julie quickly left to sort out her freedom with her tormentor.

Looking around Lilith might listen to Julie not to drink to much but she still would converse with people as who knows finally her virginity would be taken soon. Scanning the room she was met with lots of people giving her small talks here and there but nothing captured her, mainly because everyone wore a mask and you couldn’t really make out their faces properly and check the men out so the body and clothes were her only resort, vain she knows but she couldn’t care less but as time went on she felt immensely bored as she thought speaking to people of calibre would have interesting things to talk about but all she heard was bragging, politics and the next yacht purchase, which wasn’t the fun she imagined.

“Oops! I’m sorry, I didn’t...” Lilith voice was caught in her throat as the sound of broken glass can be heard, staring at the mess on the floor she wanted to apologise too her wine’s victim but was momentarily stunned at the handsome physique of the man in front of her, she didn’t mean too tip her wine on him as she was trying to flee the very boring talks among the woman around her but taking a step back she really took in he’s view as if trying to savour every fine detail about this masked mysterious and sexy man in front of her. Looking at him he was really bodily attractive even with the mask on as she couldn’t see he’s face from the mask he wore making him even more alluring to her’who is he’as she craned her neck realizing he must be 6.5 in height as he towered over her, with her reaching his elbow which she liked very much as if assessing if he’s man enough for her, she noticed he’s clothes as he wore a shear coat that was so rare and he’s dark Armani suit fitting he’s every curve, and gold details around him, making him look like a god but even with the full face mask he was still the most handsome man she’d ever seen but he’s eyes where dark, seemingly dead making a stark contrast from every other thing about him, like he had no soul and he’s aura was menacing staring at her like she was dirt that he could wipe out anytime and what scared her was she knew he could and she wouldn’t even mind, and for someone like Lilith he was perfect for her as in to break her virginity that is, just imagine he’s size and’he’s size’, just the thought of it made her blush deeply as her red cheeks were visible to him.

Lilith noticing her environment and Snapping out of her day dream, she felt a cold metallic pressed to her head, when she touched the feeling of a gun she turn to the direction and saw another tall man with a gun pressed to her head, looking round the room she noticed men in suits all pointing gun to her direction as they where all in a circle formation around their boss, the full faced masked man as he must be their master, c*****g her head to the side she watched them feeling amazed by their co ordination, ‘they must have practised really well’Lilith thought but was these dramatics really needed for just a few broken glass, what if I stepped on him would they hang me up? Lilith asked feeling very amused by the situation that she chuckled causing confusion for the already perplexed man staring at her interestingly

Noticing that the whole thing was a fuss, the mysterious masked man gave a signal making the armed men drop their weapon and everything and everyone went back to normal as the music played again and people chattering like someone wasn’t about to die and like the tense atmosphere was never there to begin with, ‘rich people are weird’Lilith mutters under her breath.

Mysterious masked man Walked away quickly leaving a shocked Lilith standing alone in the crowd she watched he’s huge frame disappear in the distance, not wanting to lose this chance Lilith decides to follow him but Julie blocks her path giving her a cold glare

“Don’t you see me standing in front of you Lilith? I left you for one minute and you are creating a scene?”

Julie asked looking fear streaking, that man was the God of Mafia in the whole world and as far as she knows he is the most powerful man here, it took her serious level of confidence for her to stand in between them and for Lilith to behave so ridiculously in front of him, if she didn’t intervened that man would have taken her golden asset away and worse she’d have been sold instead of Lilith, shaking her head she muttered’never’as that wouldn’t happen.

“Come with me the organiser would love to meet you and you could use that too apologise for the whole distraction earlier”

Julie continued saying as she slowly guided Lilith from the view the man had left from.

Feeling dejected, Lilith could only sigh helplessly as she couldn’t refuse Julie and run after that man as if she knew he’d save her, but from what exactly? She was fine and Julie was her friend after all, so why is her nerves acting up so much like something bad was going to happen, like instead of her own death scaring her the most, it was this moment in seeing these organisers? Maybe it was just nervousness, seeing more rich people in one space, Needing air but couldn’t oppose Julie as she had already made Julie upset more than once and its her night after all. But staring at her friends rigid face as they approached a set of double door, Julia looked tensed like she’d faint, Lilith muttering to herself’why does Julie looks like she has constipation?’ ‘maybe it’s the period’Lilith thought as she shrugs the whole bad creepy feeling away.

“You can go in I’d wait for you”

Julie said with a fake smile as she gestured her friend slightly opening the door for her.

“ Okay, but after this small talk, we are going home, I’m exhausted”

Lilith says oblivious to the malicious smile plastered on her friend’s face as she closed the door behind Lilith, secretly locking it as she smiles with evil glint in her eyes ‘Finally’she says triumphantly walking away from her friend’s doom to her freedom at last.
