"Father?I heard you have a visitor?"
This where it all started with just a single look they could not look away from each other. The man was surprised as the girl looks at him with curiosity.
Ever since that moment he came often that it was almost suspicious for the girls father but the girl didn't seem to mind how the man looked at her.
Cause she know that look very well it was like the book described the eyes of a hungry wolf that wished to gobble up all of his pray in one go but have to be patient to catch it first.
The man went in and out of their mansion like house almost everyday. The father seemed to finally get what his business partner wanted. He wanted his daughter... Alice. But he could not just give his daughter away specially to a man she didn't know much nor interested at all. But what the father didn't know that his daughter were quite an actress being able to hide her own interest from him.

After a few months the man already started approaching her which surprised her the most because Alice thought that it would only take a few weeks but not months.
"hello,I'm Quinn...Jordan Quinn"
"oh,yes I'm Alice...Doli Alice...I guess it was a strange name huh?"
"no...Doli...did it meant blue bird?"
"oh...yes I didn't think you would have known it"
"well...it is quite pretty and it suits you"
"thank you for the compliment Mr. Jordan"
"you can just call me Quinn"
"then you can call me Alice since I'm more used to that name"
"Mm..."
A conversation started between them from greeting to how is the day of the other creeping to the topic of family hobbies, personal problems and some jokes. It was all going well until she heard rumors from the maids that Quinn, the one she adores likes to have sex and leave them after being done with them.
This news broke her heart In an instant not wanting to believes she ran down to the stairs with tears in her eyes and hands clutching her chest as if she's being suffocated.
'no...it's not true...it's not!'
She ran all the way to the Lake near the mansion to be alone but she saw a very shocking scene. A man and a woman hugging each other on the boat as they look intimate from a far.
Alice felt hatred and disappointment for the first time she thought that maybe he would not be what they say at all but alas...it was true as she saw something she ever last want to see.
Gnashing her teeth and her eyes gleaming with hate she went back to her room and closed the door with a bang!* and ever since then it became harder for Quinn to talk nor see her silhouette at all as the maids started to protect their mistress from him.
That night Quinn climbed the tree that were beside Alice's window and knocked... He knocked again...and again...but no one answered nor opened the window for him so he thought maybe she was asleep so he entered without permission but just as he was about to step his foot in a pillow landed on his face and saw a very angry Alice who still have tears in her eyes as she heaved her chest high up and down trying to breath out of her anger.
"...why are you here..."
Her voice felt cold very different from the Alice he knew but maybe this was also a part of her that he didn't knew
"Alice...I..."
"don't call me by my name Mr.Jordan."
"Alice?"
