"God, you look so beautiful," Cade said while he looked me up and down, approving of my outfit. "I'll have to tip Marisol a little extra for making you look this ravishing in such little time," he said as he lead me out to the car.
By some miracle, Cade allowed me to accompany him to the ball tonight. Celia's words echo through my mind, "play nice" she had said. I'm sure she and Tinae are looking down on me now with a smile on their faces, proud of how well I faked enjoying Cade's company. Tonight, I would be wearing a beautiful pink ball gown with silver heels that had butterflies running up the heel, a silver mask to hide my face seeing that it was a masquerade ball.

"Antoni, take her to the car," Cade said as he passed me off to Antoni who helped e into the black SUV outside.
"You look stunning, Scarlett," he said as his eyes raked up and down my body.
"I don't need your compliments," I snapped as I looked out the window.
"No, but you do need my help in getting you out of here," he replied as if he needed to remind me. Turning my face so that I would look at him, he said, "I need you to put this on,"
"Why?" I asked as I stared down at the garter and silver blade in his hand.
"It's for later," he said as he handed the to me. "Now do as I say before I convince Cade to let you stay home," he spat.
"Can you not watch me while I put this on?" I asked as my hands slightly trembled.
"It's nothing I haven't seen before," he replied with a smirk as he watched me slide the garter up my left thigh and placing the blade into its rightful pocket. "Good girl," he said once I finished, making my skin crawl. I hope this over soon. "When I give you the signal, be ready. If you fuck this up for me, I'll make sure the consequences affect your children," he added as he opened the door to leave.
