Y/n would walk slowly to the door, opening it gently as the butler waited for her. He stood there patiently as he said, "Ready Miss Y/n?". The poor young girl nodded, as she stepped outside the room. Closing the door behind her, the butler held an arm for Y/n to grab a hold of. She gently placed her hand on the butler's arm as they walked down the hallway. She felt hopeless, walking down the hallways of the estate, she tried to think of a good way to convince Henry to let her go. Y/n would wonder off thinking.

If I try to convince Henry to let me go I can make it back to the Afton's Estate, I can steal from him easily if I plead. I can have enough money to get a flight back. I simply can't give myself to him it's just wrong. But if I don't have any other option, then, I'd have to risk it all.

After A Couple of Minutes

The butler asked Y/n, "Ms. L/n, is everything alright?". The young lady was a bit shocked, regaining her consciousness back to reality as she replied, "I'm alright". The butler was a bit confused but remained quiet, the young lady was relieved he didn't say another word asking. They both continued to walk until they have reached a pair of big doors, the butler spoke as he let go of Y/n, "We are here Ms.L/n, you must enter on your own now". Y/n felt her body stiffen as she simply nodded at the butler while adjusting her dress. Soon, the butler had opened the door as the young lady walked inside. It was the dinning room area, lit with many candles, though the room was quite dark.

Y/n had walked on one of the sides of the room, inspecting each and every detail. The young lady reached the main chair, decorated with gold and burgundy gems, her fingers would trace every detail. Not long, before a noise can be heard from behind the door, the young lady stepped back, as a voice can be heard. "Good evening Y/n, it's good to see you joining me for dinner". From the shadows appeared Henry, dressed in an all black suit, he walked towards Y/n, she would simply remain still as he took one of her hands, placing a kiss behind her hand. The young lady was uncomfortable, Henry then spoke to her, "What's the matter dear? You are very quiet?". Y/n had taken a deep breath before she finally replied, "Oh nothing I was just thinking". Henry smirked as he adjusted his glasses, "What were you thinking about?". Y/n giggled trying to act flirty, "Oh just how good you look". Henry placed his hands behind her waist as he pulled her in towards him, "Really? You look beautiful Y/n, but I'd look better with you under the sheets". The young lady simply laughed as she thought to herself, "This is fucking ridiculous, I hate it but I have to get the hell out of here".

After the exchange of conversations, both Henry and Y/n have sat down from across each other. He had ordered the butler's to serve wine for Y/n and him, the most expensive one he could find. The young lady was nervous, but she had to keep the act up to get away. Once her glass was filled with wine, Henry wanted to raise a toast, he spoke to her, "Join me for a toast Y/n". The young lady nodded as she held her glass up, Henry then proceeded, "To tonight, a swell dinner, and for you Y/n, for being here simply". Y/n was confused why she even got a toast but took it lightly as a nice thing, sorta. Both of their wine glasses would clink as Henry chugged his down withing a couple of seconds, the young lady only took a small sip being very cautious. Henry then looked at Y/n, while holding one of hands, "It's a lovely night isn't it Y/n?", the young lady simply smiled as she replied, "Oh it is indeed!". Still trying to keep the act of being "nice" to Henry.
