"I don't have a dress." I close the door behind him.
Mark comes around the corner with a wide black box that had a white ribbon tied on the top.
"This should do" he pushed the box into my hand. "It was one of your mothers when she would attend these events."
I set the box on a side table that was leaned against the wall. The ribbon easily untied. I opened the box revealing a beautiful black dress with a pearled white mask on top.
"Dad" I said absolutely taken back by the beauty of this dress. "This is beautiful"
He gave me a smile "Go try it on. Make sure it fits"
I rushed upstairs to put on the dress. The moment it touched my body I knew, this dress was a perfect fit and it was.
It perfect hugged my waist showing my figure. My boobs rested perfectly in the V-Line and my ass looked absolutely amazing.
By the time my hair and make up were done it was six and since we were one of the host of the event we had to be there earlier than anyone else.
We rush into the limo. My dad was on his phone the entire time sorting out all last minute things.
"This is the place?" Alex eyes widened as we arrived at this castle looking building.
We walked in the doors. Staircases lead down to a huge ball room that had ice sculptures on every corner with a huge stage in the front.
"We really know how to throw a party" I laughed as the sight before me. "Ima go to the bar."
Alex nodded "Grab me something."
"Aren't you both underage?" Mark asked before I fully walked away.
"We're old enough to run a mafia, I'm sure we're old enough to buy a drink" I laughed.
Mark nodded "Point made. Grab me a scotch"
Mark and Alex joined the party while I went to the bar.
"Hi can I get a glass of champagne, a scotch and bourbon please."
"If it isn't my beautiful Hope Petrova" Daniel walked beside me with his smirky smile on his face as if he was doing something.
"Daniel." I responded with just his first name.
He raised an eyebrow at me and leaned against the table "Not gonna say my last name?"
I ignored him. "Hossler. Daniel Hossler"
"Daniel I really don't care." I was getting annoyed.
That name, Hossler. Everytime I hear it I just wanna reach for my gun and shoot someone. Hell shoot myself and ruin my hearing.
"What? You use to love that name. You moaned it every time you fucked my lovely younger brother."
"Can you shut up?" I finally grabbed the drinks and walk away.
I handed Mark his drink first. I went back to Alex and handed him his drink.
"Everything okay?" He asked with his eyes in Daniel.
"Just Daniel being Daniel." I rolled my eyes as I sipped my drink.
The entire night me and Alex were inseparable. We talked to anyone who was near us.
My eyes were wandering the room looking for one person, Jaden. Is it bad he's the first person I look for? Even when there's a chance he could be the enemy.
"Okay" Alex grabbed me away from the people he were talking to "What's on your mind?"
"What?" I asked confused.
"Come on. You're looking for someone." He said
"It's Jaden. I can't seem to shake him"
His eyes widened "Jaden? Jaden Hossler is who you've been talking about this entire time?"
I faintly nod my head yes. "He's the one who almost slept with my best friend."
"And now you have his brother after you? I would say that's perfect revenge." He raised his eye brow
"I wouldn't say he's after me" I scoffed
"His eyes haven't left you the entire night. He's after you"
We danced for a little more. Mark got on stage and made an announcement thanking everyone for being able to join us tonight.
"Ima go grab another drink, want anything?" I asked Alex as he danced his legs away on the dance floor.
He ignored me so I just walked away back to the bar area where Daniel had been standing the entire night with his eyes glued to me,
"Following me?" I stand next to him and order me another glass of champagne
He laughs and turns his head to face me "maybe. Hard not to when you look like that"
I roll my eyes and grab my champagne glass from the bartender. "Enjoy your night Daniel."
"Goodbye Hope" Daniel spoke. Not in English. In Italian.
My heart sank. I-It all makes sense.
"I'm gonna head home." I rush over to Alex and hand him my drink.
"Oh are you sure?" He asked
I gave him a nod "Yeah it's pretty late. I'll call you"
He gives me a hug and I say bye to my father before rushing out the doors and into our limo that's still was parked in the circle drive with the driver still inside.
"Where to ma'am?" He asked once I got into the back
"Take me to Jaden Hossler Villa. Please"
