Chapter 2 - The Grandball and the Heiress

Night swiftly came, Skye who just finished his work and was resting for a while. He took a shower and wrapped a white towel on his waist before leaving the bathroom he blow dried his hair.

He was preparing for the night ball, he combed his hair and wore a formal white suit that is simple but elegant looking, he took a a silver tie and started to tie his tie, this made him look like a charming prince

Then he started walking to the front door to where his limousine was waiting, his assistants Lilith Gray and Vesper Black were already waiting for him. Vesper Black opened the door for him, as soon as he rode the limousine they joined him soon afterwards, the driver started driving and head straight to the Browne Mansion

The limousine was very spacious. He was sitting in the back seat, and he started opening a very expensive wine. He poured it in one of the glass wines and started drinking the wine, while waiting to arrive at the Browne Mansion.

The Browne manor was dazzling with golden lights as expected from a very noble and successful family. The front yard was already full of other noble guests so it took awhile for his limousine to arrive at the front door. As soon as the limousine stops at the front door the henchman of the Browne family opens the car door.

As soon as he went out of the car he was dazzling, the other nobles turned around staring at him and was in awe the younger nobles were all whispering that he is here, he shrugged them all off and looked at them coldly he was fixing his wrist cuff, and walked elegantly, to the ballroom the soft classical music can already be heard in the hallway. Behind him was his assistants Lililth and Vesper; they were like invisible shadows that no one noticed.

At the entrance of the ballroom there was a butler wearing a formal black suit with dark black eyes and black hair, he looked very elegant. As soon as Skye was about to get in he was stopped by the butler his voice was soft

"Do you have an invitation sir?" He asked politely.

Lilith showed Skye's invitation to the butler and the butler looked at the guest list. He was surprised to see it's her mistress' special guest.

"I'm sorry I haven't recognized you Master Skye." He bowed as an apology. And didn't even bother to ask why he had his assistants behind him.

Skye didn't say anything but just nod at him, afterwards the other butler pushed the door open welcoming him in the elite party and he walked inside the ballroom.

As soon as the door opened the golden chandelier shined through the middle of the ballroom, a group of musicians was in the playing elegant music, a lot of nobles were already dancing and enjoying the party at the right side of the room there is a big buffet table with a lot of variety of meals, at one corner of the room there was a big door and two guards was guarding it tightly.

An hour passed by and the ball was going smoothly but Skye was beginning to get bored so he went to the garden to smoke, he didn't bother telling his assistants that he left the room, he smoked one cigarette till he heard a sweet voice from his behind he turned around he was surprised to see it was lady Cecelia the heiress of the Browne family

"Mister Skye what are you doing here? The party is over there"

she pointed back in the ballroom, her voice was sweet and innocent. She was wearing a long ballroom crimson colored dress that is off shoulder, she was wearing a corset that made her waist look very slim, her dress skirt was puffy, she had hair tied in a bun with a little loose hair strands in her cheeks, she wore sparkling necklace and earrings that made her green eyes sparkle like a rare gem stone.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" Skye raised his eyebrows and his voice was cold.

"Master Skye, you don't know me? I am Cecelia Browne. I am the one who asked father to personally invite you here at this party." she partly blurted out all her words.

This made Skye have a lot more questions to what the Browne family really intended him to do in this party. The head of the family Nicolas Browne is a man full of motivation, and rumours said that he is also a man full of mysterious ways of achieving success.

"I wanted to smoke for a bit." his voice was soft but there was a hint of coldness as well.

In fact Cecelia just wanted to talk to him and went out to see him voluntarily.

"You shouldn't stay here in the garden. Your guests might worry where the noble lady might have gone." Skye added and stared at her for a while.

Cecelia was feeling impatient that Skye wasn't paying attention to her that much; she merely pouted at him, dissatisfied that he was asking her to leave.

"Why are you asking me to leave? Do you have a secret?" Her voice was angry

she still pouted. Skye ignored her again and just finished smoking this made her really mad she leaped into his arms, "Mister Skye pay attention to me." His cigarette fell on the ground and the look of her position right now, her fair skin in her neck made him tempted but he controlled himself hard.

"Miss Cecelia Browne please control yourself for I am not your husband to do this publicly." his voice was ice cold.

He stared at her coldly and pushed her arms away from him. Cecelia wanted to retaliate but Skye's phone rang and he answered it quickly as it was like a key of escape to him, she missed her chance to pounce at him, as he had slowly walked away from her. Cecelia followed him but she saw that he walked back to the ballroom as she was to follow him and she bumped into a tall man's back.
