CHAPTER THREE

"Are you sure this dress is appropriate?" I ask studying myself  for the tenth time trying so hard to make my boobs not pop out from the huge v gap on the chest. The maid who was dressing me up, Sophia turns to my side and looks up at me studying me from up to down as I nervously wait for her opinion.

With a sigh she says, " Honestly it's not appropriate especially that v gap. But Mr Ashmedai strictly requested you wear the dress and I'm just doing my job. Sorry." She wore an apologetic look. I knew she was just doing what she's been told and I didn't want to get her into some sort of trouble. I guess I have to get through with it.

...

Earlier

"Are you both done?" I look at the both of them, annoyance on my face. And this time it wasn't playful. I was seriously disappointed by their behaviour earlier and I could see the guilt in both of them.

"Yes."

"The maids will take care of everything."

They still don't move and I was expecting them to leave just like I had told them but they still stood there contemplating on telling me something.

"Well, is there something else?" I ask harshly. Maybe I was being too hard on them.

"Actually, there is." Blakes says as he gives Enoch a nod.

Okaaaay.

"We are sorry" They say at the same time and I study their faces to see if they were genuine about it. Especially Blake I didn't trust the guy. He had this bad boy persona and I was waiting to see his smug face but was shocked to see he was serious about it. Enoch on the other hand was obviously genuine about it. He was the complete opposite of Blake. While Blake was smug and flirtatious, Enoch was more sweet, caring and considerate and most importantly mature. He definitely was taking the older brother role seriously. But he also had a dark side especially when he was mad. It was so scary and intimidating. I wonder why he was so mad when Blake was touching me. It gave out possessiveness behaviour.

"Hmmh, okay then I forgive the both of you as long as you promise me no more fighting." I say and I felt so weird. It was as if I was a mother teaching her children good behaviour when in fact it was grown men. Very tall muscular grown men.

"Okay we won't."

Why are they simultaneous. Are they twinning now. I laugh to myself as they both bid me goodbye and leave.

...

Present

"Okay your all set." Sophia announces and I look at myself in the mirror. I was gorgeous with my hair straightened and then added some curls while my plump lips painted a red lipstick to much my dress. She hadn't put any eyeshadow just a cat eyed eyeliner and some mascara. She didn't do over the top makeup and I liked it like that. She then hands me a pair of black high heels but I refuse them instantly.

"What's wrong your highness?"

Oh! And there was that! Your highness! All the maids were addressing me like that I was wondering why so when I asked they only said that Mr Ashmedai told them to address me that way. What game was he playing here? I had to find out soon.

"I'm not used to wearing those." I point at them as she looks up at me and smiles.

"Oh you've never tried them?"

"I don't even own those types of shoes. I'm more of an air force person. I love sneakers and I wear them with anything."

She then heads to another room and I follow her curiously. She switches the lights on and my jaw drops. Literally. I was surrounded by a closet of clothes and shoes from a the famous brands. These people were loaded then.

"Your highness, welcome to your closet." Sophia announces as she heads to one of the racks of shoes picking out a black Nike air force and giving it to me. I take it from her hands slowly still not believing that all of this was mine.

"Are you sure?"

I ask her and she nods leading me back to the dressing room and helping me with my shoes. It fitted me perfectly making me to wonder how they knew my exact shoe size. Maybe my shoe size is common or it was just a lucky guess. I push the thoughts away as I study myself in the mirror one last time and head outside with Sophia trailing behind me.

We together descend the stairs, walking through a long hall to find a huge door. I look at her and she nods. This was the dining room. And I could already hear laughter and loud mummers.  Fuck I'm so nervous.

"You got this."

Sophia smiles and that was enough to convince me. I take in a few breaths and she slowly opens the door and I start to walking in. I'm immediately blinded by the bright chandelier lights squinting my eyes as I study the room. It was huge with a huge long table in the middle filled with all kinds of meals and in each of it's chairs sat Mr Ashmedai, a pale skin beautiful woman staring daggers sitted next to him and then Enoch who looked at me amazed and I knew he was gawking sat next to her. Then there was an empty seat and my mind kept telling it was mine because next to it was Blake who was all smiles and biting his pink lips from time to time as he stared at me or rather at something else on my chest. Then the others were just strange people who were dressed majestically. They all had their attention towards me and the room was dead silent.

"Welcome Lilith. Come have a sit near Enoch." Mr Ashmedai says pointing towards the empty sit. I awkwardly wave towards everyone as I head towards the sit to find Blake pulling the sit for me.

"My lady." He says and I thank him as I slowly sit down. What was he up to?
