A/N- ,, Hello, darlings. I'm back with another chapter. The song that I put up there is the song on which you dance with Albert in the restaurant. Her relationship with the Moriarty brothers becomes more complicated and you will se how in the future chapters."

,,All the credit for the beautiful song goes to Silk Skin Lovers.''

It was a calm start of a weekend day, more precisely, a Saturday day. Outside was a cloudy weather, specific for London, but people paid no mind to it and enjoyed their end of the week anyways.

At the L/N estate you could hear Lord L/N talking to the maids in enjoyment and telling them to prepare for tonight and to take good care of his daughter to be ready on time. Y/N could hear her father from upstairs as he was all happy and delighted. It was like he was going on that date himself.

Y/N really didn't feel like getting out of bed at all. After what happened that day at Lafayette's, she was quite messed up. She didn't talk to any of the Moriarty boys since then. She didn't want to see her math's teacher because she was afraid that she would punch him in the face.

- Y/N my dear! Get out of bed! You have to take breakfast and get ready for tonight! exclaimed Lord L/N from downstairs.

Y/N had a very dissatisfied grimace on her face, growled some incomprehensible sounds and pulled the blanket over her head.

After 10 minutes, she decided to get out of bed because she had remembered how she ran on those alleys like a madwoman, after her meeting with Wright, and Albert came after her. She was the one who agreed to go on a date with him, and she had to apologize for badmouthing him. She didn't really know what to do at that time. She had to come with some sort of excuse to fool Wright and that was the only thing that came into her mind at that time; to play the victim. Obviously, you couldn't tell him that Albert was the perfect gentleman, perfect everything, because he would've lost interest in you.

Y/N decided to take a shower, because she hadn't got out of bed for days now. After she cleaned herself, she spent one hour to choose the most elegant dress for the date. Her stomach started to growl, so she decided that it was time to go take breakfast and ask the maids to help her with the outfit, make-up and hair. It was so stupid, she thought. Putting a lot of effort, like you are getting married, for a man you don't actually love. As she thought those things, flashbacks from that alleyway with Albert's concerned face and him hugging her and holding her protectively, started to appear. She took a glance at herself in the mirror and she saw that she was blushing.

~Y/N's point of view ~

,, Why am I blushing?"

,,It's not that I'm actually in love with Albert, am I?"

,, I need to get those thoughts out of my head. I can't love him either way. He and his brothers are the Lords of Crime. William blackmailed me so that I'll agree to help him. Albert knew about this probably and he let William do as he pleased. They just want to use me for their plans and mess up with my head."

,, I need to stop thinking about it fast."

,, This isn't a fairy tail Y/N. It's a story about murder remember?"

~ Author's point of view ~

Lord L/N and his daughter took breakfast together and chatted about trivial stuff. Then, his eyes left the plate for a moment to look up at his daughter and he said:

- Aren't you thrilled for your date tonight, my darling?

- You know father, you should be the one who goes to dinner with Albert. You won't stop talking about it, said his daughter teasingly.
