Alexander’s POV
Today is the day of the annual ball which we hold once every year. It was a big event for the sterling empire, a celebration of how far we have come. Reymond started this tradition but after he was gone, it lived on.
Eleanor always made sure she decorated everything to her satisfaction.
The Sterling mansion had never looked more expensive.
That wasn't a compliment.
All the chandeliers were polished and sparkling, the staircase was wrapped in golden vines, and roses, white and red lined every inch of the hall like it was a royal coronation.
The place was glowing. Eleanor outdid herself. Again.
Last time, She was the one that planned it and it was exquisite. After the gala, people talked about how organised and fancy everything was from the decorations to the food.
