Lizzy's POV: It's been 6 months since Ciel told me about Alice's leave from the manor. He's seemed very distant at first, but then about a week later he told me when he wanted our wedding to be. He told me he wanted host a ball in 6 months that we would release the joyous news to everyone; including the date, time, and place.

Ciel and I got ready , and went downstairs.

Ciel's POV: I slowly walked down the marble steps and took my place beside Elizabeth. My eyes searched the room, recognizing many faces, one in particular.

Her golden locks swayed in rhythm with her hips as she walked across the floor. I shook my head back in forth slightly and took a deep breath. I looked towards Elizabeth, " There's someone here I would like to talk for a moment, I'll be right back dear." Elizabeth smiled and nodded.

I walked towards her, my breath hitched slightly as I got closer. I tapped her shoulder and she turned around........... woah..... Her eyes were still that beautiful crystal blue. She had a butterfly design beneath her eyes with petals swirling around it. Her dress fitted to her body perfectly, showing off her curves. Her hair was down in long curls that complimented her curves and face.

She smiled warmly, "Good evening Earl Phantomhive." My heart stopped. Her voice was so angelic. I felt my face become flushed. "p-please, j-just C-C-Ciel madam." Damn my stuttering. She giggled a bit and curtsied. " Alice..." I said in a bit of disbelief. She nodded, " The one and only." I couldn't help myself, I beamed a smile and hugged her. " it has been too long my dear~" I cooed softly in her ear.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Elizabeth. She smiled at me and grabbed my hands. " it's time to make the announcement Ciel!" She squealed and dragged me along with her, leaving a very confused Alice.

Elizabeth dragged me to the center of the room and banged a spoon on her cup. " Excuse, can I have everyone's attention please?" Everyone stopped talking and turned towards us. " I have an announcement to make." I said loudly, " as you have heard, Elizabeth and I are engaged, we have decided to host the wedding on January 4th at 6:00 right here at my manor." The crowd applauded and a few people whistled and howled. The only person I was keeping eyes on was Alice. She smiled and winked at me.

Lizzy's POV: The guilt I was feeling was eating away at me, I couldn't handle it anymore. I walked up to Ciel's office and knocked on the door. He told me to come in. I walked in slowly and saw him going over some paperwork. " Ciel, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked sheepishly. He put his paperwork down and looked up at me. "What do you wish to discuss Elizabeth?" I looked down at the floor and took a deep breath. " I have been keeping a secret from you Ciel." " oh?" He asked as he folded his hands. I shuffled my feet and looked up at him. "I have been having an affair Ciel, I have been courting a young nobleman from France." The look on his face broke my heart. "What?" Venom dripped from his voice as he spoke. A small tear streamed down my face " I saw the way you were with Alice and I wanted that same kind of relationship... So instead of breaking you two apart.. I started to court a man I had met at the Trancy manner, when we were there for the ball.... I am so sorry Ciel." Ciel just stared at me for a moment before he spoke. "Have you had sex with him yet?" I hung my head low, not wanting to actually say that I had. He sighed and covered his face with his hands. "You do know this means I have to cancel the wedding and call off the engagement right?" I slowly nodded, " I just wanted you to be happy Ciel... I was going to tell you soo-" Ciel cut me off by slamming his hands into the desk. " SOON! SO YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME AFTER THE WEDDING THAT YOU HAD BEEN FUCKING SOME GUY BEHIND MY BACK!!!??? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DID TO BE WITH YOU ELIZABETH!? I HAD TO LEAVE THE WOMAN I ACTUALLY LOVED!!!! I SET THE WEDDING DATE AND EVERYTHING TO GET HER OUT OF MY HEAD!!! HAD I KNOW THAT YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE I COULD STILL BE WITG HER RIGHT NOW!!!!!" Ciel yelled in anger.. " Ciel I- " " JUST GET OUT!!" I nodded and quickly ran out of the room.

Ciel's POV: I was filled with rage, Elizabeth had been cheating on me and I had no idea. " Sebastian!" I called to my butler, " yes my lord?" He asked as he refilled my tea cup. " please summon Alice for me." He bowed low, " Yes my lord." and exited the room.
