Annette.

"And what are you doing here?"

A sudden voice behind her startled her.

She looked behind her to see Aiden standing there with his arms crossed.

Annette turned back and kept her gaze at the flowers fluttering by the wind.

"I couldn't sleep."

She answered.

He came and sat beside her , taking off his jacket and covering her with it.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He asked.

She looked at him.

"I....am nervous about the ball....."

She said in a small voice.

Aiden made her rest her head on his shoulders as he caressed her hair gently.

"You don't have to be nervous. I'll be there with you."

"I'm worried about Lady Emily Keiran."

She couldn't stop the words from her mouth and bit her lip.

Aiden turned his head to look at her.

"Are you worried that she might do something to you or are you worried that she's gonna try to seduce me?"

Annette flushed deep red and quickly sat straight to glare at him.

"Aiden!!"

He chuckled.

"What?? I won't even look at the other ladies if that's what you want....I'll even cover my face if you want."

He winked at her and traced her face with his fingers , caressing every part gently.

She sighed and held his hand to her forehead and closed her eyes.

"I don't think I can do this."

And as soon as these words had left her mouth , she found herself in his arms.

His face was buried in the crook of her neck.

"You can do it Annette. I believe in you. Please.......just..... don't leave me."

"I won't."

.........

Aiden

He opened his eyes as Blake came in the room and opened the curtains.

Aiden groaned and got up to get ready for the day.

"Blake."

"Yes?"

"Can you investigate Marquis Keiran's daughter?"

"Yes I can....is there a problem?"

"Annette was worried about her. It seems that she's a potential candidate for ruining the  ball."

"I'll try my best to help you your highness."

With that Blake left the room and Aiden got ready.

.....

Lady Emily

She threw the vase on the floor in anger and screamed in frustration. Her whole room was a mess.

Pieces of broken glass were shattered everywhere and everything was broken.

"My baby.... don't worry. It must be fake news I'm sure."

Her mother was trying to calm her down so that she wouldn't break anything else.

She just kicked the table and glared at her mother.

"Fake?!!!! They saw that bitch in the crown prince's palace and you say that it's fake!??....I'm telling you mother....if you don't do something then she'll be the damn crown princess!!! And I won't let her get my position that easily. Do something before I do it my way!!!"

She pushed her mother away and strode out of the room.

Soon there were muffled voices of pain and shouting as she whipped another poor maid to get her anger out.

The others cowered in fear as they heard the voices and cries for help.

Her mother was still standing in the room , thinking about something to do.

She soon left the place and went out.

Emily had finally calmed down. She looked at her feet where the maid was crying in pain , her face was pale and her clothes were soaking in blood.

The poor girl was taking long breaths and crying in pain.

Emily rolled her eyes and kicked her away from her feet. She cried as her whole body ached but her master just looked at her with cold eyes and left the room.

As soon as she went outside of the room , the butler came in with a few others.

"Oh you poor child."

He held pity and sorrow in his eyes as he saw the young girl who had just started working a few days ago and was already in this state.

They quickly took her to her room and called a doctor.

Emily took a bath and got ready to go out.

She didn't tell anyone where she was going and no one had the guts to ask her too. They just stared at her with fearful eyes as she walked away.

Her tactics were hidden from her father. By the orders of her mother , nobody dared to tell the Marquis that his daughter wasn't as innocent as she acted infront of him.

There were rumours that she abused the servants but only a few people knew that they were true.

If she acted rudely in public ,  she just put the blame on others who couldn't say anything because of her status.

So , the Marquis knew that his child was a bit spoiled but he certainly didn't have any idea about her disgusting and evil hobbies.

Emily went to the casino and soon came face to face with the masked man she had met there before.

"What's the news?"

She asked in a hurry.

The man simply shrugged and took her hand as he led her to a private room.

"It seems that your chances of becoming the crown princess are getting low my lady."

The man smirked as he saw the look in her eyes.

She was reacting just as he had expected.

"What do I have to do?"

She asked.

He smirked and told her the plan.

She nodded as she heard his plan and went out.

As the door closed , the man took of his mask.

He took out a picture from his pocket and stared at it.

"Just a little bit more Annette. Just you wait. I'll get you no matter what it takes. You will be mine in the end."

He caressed the picture of a young girl who was smiling brightly , a boy with blue hair was beside her and fixing the pink strands of her hair.

He sighed and put the picture back and went away.

A/N :  I don't have ANY interesting ideas about this story these days. I need some suggestions please 🥺🥺.

Also , should we make Emily the villainess or not? (She's already one but still...)

Also, my exams are starting so I'll probably won't have enough time to write a chapter. BUT I'll still write whenever I have time.
