Hate can be a powerful motivator but sometimes it's the one who you despise who comes to your rescue.

Outside the grand ballroom of a British colonial mansion, the winter night air is crisp and cool, carrying the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant hint of wood smoke from the servants quarters.

The moon, a silver crescent in the dark sky, casts a gentle glow over the manicured lawns and gardens, illuminating the intricate stone carvings and ornate fountains. The sound of laughter and music drifts from the ballroom, mingling with the chirping of crickets and the distant call of a night bird.

The night air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers - roses, marigolds, and hibiscus - which line the winding pathways and ornate gardens. The soft rustle of palm trees and the gentle creaking of wooden swings add to the serene ambiance.

In the distance, the sound of horse hooves and carriage wheels can be heard, as guests arrive and depart from the grand estate.

As the night wears on, the temperature drops, and the dew begins to settle on the grass, casting a misty veil over the landscape. The stars twinkle like diamonds in the sky, and the moon casts an ethereal glow over the entire scene, creating a magical and enchanting atmosphere that is quintessentially chilly.

In such a magnificent night is a woman in a beige colour draped saree walking by side of a man when the cool winds passed by her, harshly, as if trying to warn her of an unknown foreboding.

But unknown to her future, the woman silently walked until her destiny decided to throw her in a test of trust and honesty.

I was just trying to leave from that exhausting ball but then-

"Guards!"

Cedric roared at the top of his lungs and clutching my waist in his grasp he again shouted pointing towards young master present there,

"Capture this man, right now!"

And at those words, I finally let myself loose, snuggling in Cedric's arms before darkness engulfed me completely.

How did it come to this? How-?

Few hours before

🌸 "Then we'll meet the next time, good day."

I waved her goodbye as she left the ballroom with her husband and her children and beside her Radhika di also left the ballroom with her family.

And this finally put an end to the long conversation on random things. Both of them left and now, it is our time to leave as well.

They both had to cover a long distance so they decided to leave earlier and because I was also kind of exhausted so Cedric agreed to drop me off too.

And just after they left, I excused myself from Cedric and went to grab a last glass of water as I was thirsty when I saw two British ladies coming towards me in a hurry.

Are they ok? Do they need some kind of help?

The moment they were in front of me, I recognised them immediately. It's those two ladies near the streets! What were their names again?

Yeah right, Merinda and Lola. Don't tell me they have more to say this time?

"Lady Isha, right?"
