Matured Content.

Haven was present during Themarie's piano concert in a prestigious stage. She was a guest of one of the most known female r&b singers in their city. The sound of the melodic piano. The black grand piano from Steingraeber & Sohne seemed so big but her confidence seemed bigger. She was more of a highlight than the sound of the piano itself and even the singer. Her fingers glided through each of the keys.

She looked so sophisticated with her signature black classical tight dresses that showed off her body, her skin, cleavage and her back. The lace glove. The look of a performer at ease and focused to create the most melodious tone to be heard by everyone. She can make each music. She can create a style that makes her look like she is stealing every music she covers because it's that good.

She remained purely how she admired Themarie from the first piano concert she had witnessed from Themarie. Themarie's fierce look on her face, it was intimidating but she knew how to aim that. She knew what she was doing when she lured Haven in the trap of beauty and anguish. It was scary how beauty can become so ugly soon enough. The first time they talked, the first time Themarie looked at her like a girl who has the biggest fan on her, the warmth and the smile.

All that interaction of theirs was somewhat a memory now. She hated it but it was too late to even go back.

She clasped her hands together and looked awed before she turned to look at the man beside her. Just her damned luck, from the looks of it this was the one Themarie was hugging that rainy night. This was purely Themarie's clown show. She huffed and stood up as the concert ended. She clapped her hand, she was proud of seeing Themarie's fame go this far but on the other hand she's irritated she's sitting close to the man she's cheating on her with.

"She's a fantastic pianist." The man commented and Haven sarcastically laughed at the proud statement. Trying to have a conversation with her like it's the most normal thing after bedding her wife. Wow.

"Of course she's blessed with her fingers." Haven says proudly as she clapped back but it sort off comes out so wrongly making Haven cringe and regret such a statement. She just sighed at herself to this.

"That's a weird way to say it." The man lightly laughs and Haven hummed before she looked back at the stage and she saw Themarie and the others being offered red roses. Themarie smiled and bowed her head. Taking the mic as she takes a deep breath before smiling. She gets the mic. Themarie looks around in the whole stadium for a while.

"I'm so honored to be performing in this very prestigious stage for the fifth time this year. I'm honored to the people who have supported me all throughout my year in the music industry. I'd love to thank my wife as well." Themarie smiles, gesturing towards where Haven is. Somewhat in the back of her mind she shouldn't feel joyous. The man turned to look at her with a slight smirk then clapped his hands.

"My precious swan." She said as everyone clapped their hands as Haven bowed her head at them. This was the play they take part in their lives for other people.

The play of a swan poisoned by a bite of a snake.

"It's a pleasure to meet Miss Themarie's wife. I never expected I'd sit close to you." The man says to her, his dimples deepened when he slightly lets out a laugh, Haven cringed badly at how he acts so innocent.

"I try not to be too proud of it." She simply says before looking at the stage as Themarie was waving her hand around at many people and smiling brightly. She barely gets to have this side of Themarie but sadly, this was a book of a lie as well.

"You should be, it's not everyday you'd have the fairest woman be bewitched by you." He said and Haven only responded with a smile, truly this man had a way with words. It was no wonder Themarie liked the attention she was getting from this man.
