Trusting him

Chapter Three|The Party

Lucy's POV

Lucy looked at herself in the long mirror in her room as the stylist and makeup artist gave her a once over after completing their works.

Lucy was wearing a maroon coloured dress that was hugging her curves and there was a slit on the right side of the dress that reaches her thigh.

Her makeup was done perfectly as no one could say that she had dark circles Under her eyes and her face was dull because of crying.

Her smoky eyes gave a look of maturity but inside her eyes it was still dark. She was still upset from this while arrangement but she can't say a thing.

People always tall about things like run away, say no, or that he's still your father hell listen type things but a girl knows in what situation she is.

Even if the world give preference to love marriages there are still some that just uses those words to get respect.

The two of her helpers looked at her in are and cheered at their work.

"You look beautiful Ms Lucy. Everyone will be looking at you only. "

"yes dear... Now remember chin up and with grace. " her stylist said with a very happy look as she watched Lucy's reflection in the mirror.

"you mean sit still look pretty. " Lucy said with a straight face as she glared at everything on her body. She never asked for this.

The stylist looked at her awkwardly because the air got dense with seriousness.

"well done both of you. You may leave now. I'll handle the rest. " Lucy said not trying to hide her hostility toward them.

It's time.

Lucy thought as she looked at her clock and sighed. And just as she expected a maid came and knocked on the door asking for her presence at the party.

Lucy walked out, ignoring the maid as she walked to the stair leading to the main hall which was specially decorated for this party.

She could already hear high pitched voices of snobby, shitty women as she made her way down. Just as she stepped on the stair there were many photographers ready to get a image of her for their magazines.

When she reached down her father was standing there to escort her around. She placed her hand on his arm and they posed for the camera. She groaned in her mind as she saw her father acting all good.

After the photographs and fake smiling at everyone, her father walked her to meet some of his business partners which was just out of formality.

If it was not for this party, her father wouldn't even have spared her a glance, but now that he has to maintain a good character in front of everyone, he'll do things that he never did before.

A/n- money... Makes you do crazy things😧

Her father walked her from people to people introducing her to everyone as she just faked her smile and greeting. No one of them seems to have a real face. They are just all fake, trying to advertise their children to buy someone else's.

Rich people do it like they are in market. Raising the price and buying the higher prices one.

"Mr Heartfilia... And the young lady herself. " an old guy with maroon coloured hair said as he walked toward them with a wine glass in his hand.

He shook hands with Jude and extended his hand for Lucy. She placed her hand on his as he kissed her knuckles, a greeting that is not necessary but still is done.

"Lucy dear... Meet Mr Straight. He is one of my partners from Australia. Our companies together are expanding our business there."

Jude said as he happily introduced the guy. Lucy scoffed inside knowing his fake nature and his true face. He might act like a friend but he's a wolf in sheep's skin.  He'll betray the guy later if anything wrong happened.

"good evening Mr Straight, it's a pleasure meeting you. "Lucy said with a forced smile that she is used to so much, that it's even hard to tell that is fake.

After Mr Straight greeted her, she blocked everything out. She excused herself from them and started looking for her real escort.  Her father is not the one who always escort her, it's usually her cousin who does it.

She went to look for him on the balcony and found him with a group of girl.

Such a player he is.

She shook her head and walked toward him. He was oblivious to her presence as he was busy in flirting with other girls.

"-its hard to believe that you are human. Tell me you're lying about not being an angel " he said to a girl sweetly as they swooned over his soft voice and beautiful features.

"oh Loke. You are really a handsome guy and you are also a sweet talker.... "

"what I speak is true malady. " he said with a shocked and hurt face that the girl had to reconsider what she just said.

He indeed is a sweet talker. As long as he can get them in bed, he'll be like this.

Lucy gave out a scoff as she saw him chat with those girls animately and the girls swooned over him with heart in their eyes.

As he was still talking to the girls, the girls looked behind him and they went pale. The excused themselves from him as he sat there clueless, trying to stop them but they walked away.

He turned to saw what scared the girl and saw Lucy who had a wine glass in her hand. Her features were calm but he knows what storms running wild in her head.

It happed last time as well when he was chatting with girls and the girl got too close to him. He was liking it but soon the girl was ripped from him and wine was poured over her head.

His body went stiff as he placed his wine glass on the railing and walks to Lucy taking her glass from her and gulping it down in one go.

"When did you descend down from heaven?" Loke said trying to lighten the mood but got his ear pulled.

"23 years ago..and.. How many time do I have to tell you to look for a decent girl and settle down already? These bitches are no good. They will warm your bed for sure but not your heart. " Lucy said calmly, she not angry but she's concerned for this guy.

"okay okay okay.... Stop it will you. And the type of girl that can steal my heart is only you and you're going to get married so.... I'm left with bed warmers. "

"shut up already! I'm  your cousin / half sister... Get you mind checked. "

"can't I even make a joke. But still if you weren't my kin, I would've dated  you already and our kids would've been playing here by now. "

"eww!!!!!" Lucy said with a disgusted face as she slapped his head.

"yes.  eww... " Loke agreed with a chuckle as he straightened his clothes and held Lucy's hand over his forearm and led her into the hall with him. "by the way... Did you meet your fiance  yet?"

"No. The old man didn't even say a word about him today, makes me wonder if he ran away from this arrangement. "

She said as Loke escorted her and went to her father with her.

"Uncle Jude" Loke greeted as he reached to her father and only got a curt nod  and a stiff face.

Lucy's father never liked Loke but since Lucy need him there,  he'll stay with her.
