After trying on numerous dresses, I finally settled for a pink sequin dress with spaghetti hands showing a bit of cleavage, a white waist belt with matching heels and shoulder bag to complete the outfit.

Next we decided to go to the salon to have our hair and nails done and maybe apply make-up

Next we decided to go to the salon to have our hair and nails done and maybe apply make-up. I wasn't really in the mood for any of this but I needed to take my mind off the stress I was experiencing. I had even taken a leave from work for a few days.

After getting my hair and nails done, they started attending to Faye while I went on with my make-up. I asked them to just give me a soft glam look not wanting anything to stress me further. By the time we were done, it was past six. I went home to get dressed while Faye went home to Zach who would bring her to the party.

An hour later, I was ready. Accompanied by my bodyguards, we drove to my parents house. The party was already ongoing, the decorations and food was exquisite as always. My parents hugged me. You could see their glow and how their smile beamed. I couldn't help feel a little jealous and wishing I could also have what they have. Having someone to share my life, happiness and sadness with

All the while we were in the process partying, I couldn't help but feel someone's eyes on me. I looked around uncomfortably but everyone seemed to be having a good time. I decided to leave Faye and Zach and go get some fresh air outside in the meantime

UNKNOWN POV:

The moment she arrived, my heart started racing. I couldn't help admire the way her dress stuck to her body like a second skin and how the upper part showed little bit of her soft looking breasts. Fuck! I can't wait to bury my head in between those beautiful moulds

The way she walked and carried herself was such a turn on. I'll have you no matter what. She went to greet her parents then sat with her stepsister and her husband. I think she could feel my gaze burning a hole in her body from how restless she was looking. She got up to leave and that was when I decided to make my move.

DAWN'S POV:

After getting fresh air from outside I was already tired and wanted to go home so I decided to go tell my parents when I saw them laughing and chatting with a young man whom should be around my age. I walked over to them

"Mom, dad" I smiled and then I looked at the man properly. He looks oddly familiar

"Oh princess, thank heavens you're here. This is the son of my very good friend whom I wanted to introduce to you" dad said smiling

"Oh, hello" I offered him a handshake and for some reason his gaze was uncomfortable. He smiled, shaking my hand

"It's lovely finally putting a face to the name I've been hearing all this while" he turned to look at my parents "words don't justify how beautiful you are" he looked at me again his eyes lingering on my chest. I withdrew my hand from his feeling really uncomfortable like earlier

"We'll leave you two to get to know each other" mom said as she dragged dad away. Here I was ready to go home before

"I'm sorry to ask but have we met before? I can't help feeling I know you from somewhere" he smirked, shoving his hands in his pocket

"I doubt that I would encounter such a beauty and not remember" I looked around not wanting to meet his gaze

"So my parents told me you were single, why would a man such as yourself be single?" I asked

"What can I say, I'm a man that knows what he wants and I haven't seen what I wanted until now...." He said staring at me lustfully again

"I see... Well it was nice meeting you Mr... That reminds me, I didn't quite get your name" he smiled

"James Fernandez" that name sounds familiar as well but he keeps insisting that we haven't met before

"Alright James, I'll like to be on my way now" I got up to leave

"But why? The party is about getting to its peak" he said standing up as well

"I know but I'm really tired so I have to leave. I already told my parents, I was just trying to be polite by waiting this long" he gritted his teeth which only happened for like a second before he smiled again

"Well on that note, we should go out properly you know. Maybe get dinner" although I feel this weird aura around this man but I'm trying to get out there and mingle again like my parents had advised. I guess giving James a chance wouldn't hurt...or so I thought

"Dinner sounds nice" I smiled

"Great, I'll send my driver to pick you up tomorrow evening. Be ready" he came closer to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, his lips lingering a bit longer than normal which was irritating. I pulled away I don't know if it's because it's been long I've been with someone or the vibe he was giving me. Soon after, I got into my car with my bodyguards tailing behind and went home.

By the time I got home, I was too exhausted so I took a hot bath and quickly dived into my bed, falling into a dreamless sleep.

      ******* NEXT DAY *******

New day, lot of things to do. I was busy arranging my house when I received a call. Who's this? I don't remember giving anyone my number. I picked up the the call

"Hello?"

"Good morning beautiful, it's me James"

"Oh! Good morning" how did he get my number? This guy keeps creeping me out

"How was your night my darling?" I don't know why he's voice and aura makes me uncomfortable

"It was fine and yours" he smiled

"Wonderful. I hope we are still on for our date tonight. I don't like disappointments" I don't know why I feel some kind of warning in his tone

I cleared my throat "I haven't forgotten so be rest assured" he chuckled before telling me when the driver would be coming and then hanging up

"I don't know why I keep getting the feeling that James is familiar" I thought out loud. I decided to finish what I was doing so I could get ready on time.

FEW HOURS LATER

I was supposed to meet James but it's been thirty minutes and I still couldn't get up from my bed. I was having dysmenorrhea. I wasn't expecting it today but I couldn't help it. I tried calling to cancel the date but his phone was unreachable

I was on my bed groaning in pain when someone started pounding on my door. Who could it be? I stayed put hoping whoever it is would go away but no whoever it is kept pounding on the door. Soon after, my door was opened. I looked up to see who it was, lo and behold, it was James looming over me.

"Wh...how...what are you doing here?" Before I could even get up properly from the couch, the next thing I could feel was something rough landing on my face before I passed out
