"let me get something straight to your head"
"You're never going to leave here" lord jobe said calmly but looking ruthless at the same time.
"so stop all this charade "he added before leaving the room.
What does he want from me?
*******************...
i got back to my chambers to get ready for the ball. About 7 maids came in after to get me ready. as i got dressed, there was a knock on the outer door of my chambers
one of them went to take it and returned with a parcel.
" whats that" i asked her
" it appears that a gift was given to my lady from our lord" she said as she kept the parcel infront of me. i opened the parcel and saw a beautiful white dress. it was nothing like the usual style and it looked so different. it must have cost a lot of money.
there was a note inside. i brought it out and read it . it said:
wear it to the party tonight. you look gracious and i pray less stubborn in white
i found myself smiling. then i quickly knocked myself out of that smile.
" get me ready in this dress" i said

############################################
a couple of guards and maids escorted me to the carriage that lord jobe and i were to ride.
he wasn't there yet so i decided to wait outside . then i saw him coming down a building close to the carriage. he wore this blue outfit and he looked so hand some.
he came towards me and said
" i was right after all"
a little part of me was expecting
you look beautiful, you look amazing , or a long stare but he praised himself and entered the carriage
that pissed me off for some reason
the gown was so light and comfortable, so getting into the carriage was not hard at all.
it was a silent ride. he just read a journal and i looked out the window.
after a while he broke the silence.
"i will love it if you actually behave your self in this party. please don't get any foolish ideas about running and that stupid prince, don't talk to him" he said still reading whatever he was reading
" i will do everything if you stay by me through out the party." when i said this he looked at me
why did i just say that like that
" i meant, i don't know any one there and it might make me feel anxious....." i was about defending my self before he said
"understood"
that scared me, understood. he smirked before reading his book
we got to the castle. it was big and beautiful but not as lord jobe mansion
every single person gave a bow and didn't raise their head till we passed them.
we entered the main building and it was like that till we reached the ball room.
everybody stopped dancing as soon as they noticed us . no , as soon as they noticed lord jobe.
the king got up from his throne and walked to the other side of the room where we were standing. he finally got to us and exchanged pleasantries. jobe did not bow to the king and i was told not to either.
a few ladies looked at my gown and started gossiping. it was a recent style so of cause they did.
suddenly , a man walked up to me and bowed to take my hands for a dance he looked familiar. i looked at jobe and he was glaring at the man that was In front of me.
I'm sure jobe hates this man a lot.
" my lady, can i have this dance" he asked again
i would sound rude if i did not agree so i did
we started dancing. I've practiced dancing at my old house with my mother so i wasn't that bad.
" I'm prince Walter my lady" he said
o my god
his the man that i was warned to stay away from at this ball and i ended up dancing with him.
i glanced at jobe but he was still glaring at us.
" oh, I'm sophie" i said
" i know. I've heard a lot abt you" he said as he got closer .
" if i may ask, what are the things you've heard abt me" i asked with curiosity
he gave a little laugh . he had brown eyes and dirty blonde hair.
" that you're a woman that lord jobe treasures and wont let go" he said
" i think I'm done with this dance prince Walter" i said before bowing and going to meet lord jobe. i had to leave because the death stares from lord jobe was too much . I walked towards him and he pulled my hands and left that area. he was going into the castle . he pulled me with him but i just silently followed.
we got to a room and he shut the door.
i was trying to catch my breath when he pushed me with his hand at the back of my head to the wall. i could here my heart beat so fast.
" lord jobe" i said
" why did you let him get so close to you" he asked looking into my eyes.
" we were dancing, it wasn't intentional" i answered immediately
" no man should be as close to you than how i am now. " he said and i nodded my head
" no man should be able to hear your heart beat fast and loud like the way it is now" he said
i felt so embarrassed and flustered
" no man should know what you lips taste like" he said
i processed those words as he dashed his lips on mine.,
