"Angelo you're not allowed to miss this one" Jennifer Knight said to her son
The family was currently on the dining table eating their supper
"I have a meeting with grandpaps tomorrow Mah, I can't turn him down" Angelo said
"True?" She narrowed her eyes "or that's just an excuse to free you from the annual party"
Alexandria eavesdroped on the conversation eating in silence
Like every other time, Alexandria watched her family get ready and leave behind when going out on special occasions held by important people and this conversation sounded like there was one coming up
She let out a silent breath
"You just came today, you can't even let me spend time with you" Jennifer gave her son a sad face
"Mah"
"Please?"
Alexandria wished her mother pleaded to accompany her to the party like she was doing at that moment
Angelo sighed
"He is really looking forward to this, I can't"
"I'll talk to him, I already took care of what you'll wear and everything" Jennifer said worriedly
She was trying her best to convince Angelo it made Alexandria secretly jealous
Everytime Alexandria watched them talk about what they would wear, she would watch them leave in a limo and disappear through the night, leaving her behind with no one but maids in the house
She watched them with dread in her eyes, yearning to accompanying them but she never voiced her wants knowing her father would turn her down
"It's important for you to come" Nathaniel said leaving no room for discussion
Jennifer looked at her husband then at her son with a victorious smile
"Dad i-"
"It's not just a party, you'll meet important people and learn new things there" He said with certainty
Alexandria rolled her eyes as she played with her food with her head down
"This is why" Jennifer looked at Nathan "I love you" she smiled
Nathan smirked at his wife before looking at his daughter
Nathaniel Knight was a strict and protective father, he watched his daughter closely for her own safety and well-being
Being protective of his children came out naturally in him
With Nathaniel's rules, Alexandria couldn't leave the house without permission, she was given a curfew, wasn't allowed to attend any parties, charity balls, or any occasion that involved people starting from the age of eighteen
Alexandria picked a piece of sausage zoning her family out so she couldn't listen to them rub reality in her face
"Have you picked a gown for her?" He looked at his wife
"Yes" Jennifer nodded smiling "everything is all set"
"She's coming?" Angelo asked surprised
"Yes" Jennifer grinned "after so much convincing" she caressed her husband's forearm
"How?" Angelo furrowed his eyebrows
"Confidential honey"
"I don't wanna know" he raised his hands in surrender
