Ch. 01

...Yvonne's POV......

I was looking at myself at the body size mirror... my hair is nicely tied... you can also see my perfect body because of the fitted long gown I'm wearing...

*knock... knock... knock...*

three knocks I heard on the door and I left in front of the mirror...

"My dear, are you ready? The party will start soon..." my mom ask after she open the door of my room

"Yeah, i was just waiting..." i look at my phone waiting if there's any message or call but there's none "---nothing, let's go?" i ask my mom and walk away from the suite first

It hurts to think that he don't care about me anymore... to think that I'm just a stranger to him, is like i wish i die already

I wipe the tears that runs in my cheek and sigh... i open the door and see the vast venue where the party was being held, There are many people here who I think are fellow business tycoons as well

I greet them with a smile on my face ... I'm used to this ... because my parents raised me to be perfect, they hold my life so I have no choice but to follow them... for them they don't think of me as a child ... because I'm just a puppet to them, puppet that will do everything they command ... I am appreciated because I have an advantage... but sooner or later they will just abandon me, just like toy which is of no use

"Hello beautiful lady" someone greet's me... he's handsome with his black tux, his hair is also fixed and he is also taller than me

"Hello too..." i answer

"You're The Heiress of the Legaspi, am I right?" he ask

"Yes, and you're--?"

"Ohh where my manner.... by the way, I'm Adiel Jasper --- Adi for short" he said

"Which family are you in?" I ask again

"None" he answer that made me confused

"What, none?"

"I'm not from the rich family... I'm just here because my dad is a secretary of Chairman Lewis, he invited me" he explain

"Ohh..." i said

We even talked about things, different and I was happy to talk to him... i feel like i don't need to lie... that i can be true to him...

"By the way... Why are you alone? I've been looking at you for a while and the sadness in your eyes ... it seems like your problem is too big ..." he ask... I Don't know why but i feel comfortable with him

"It's just nothing... I'm just bored" i said

"Ohhh~ Want to sneak out?" he said with a playful tone

"How? maybe later my parents will suddenly find me and then I'm gone..." I answer with hesitation

"Don't worry, you have me... what? game? he assured

"Tsk... fine" i said and then he reached my hand and hold it...

I don't know why but i don't feel scared but i feel assured, it's kinda weird for me because never in my life I break a rule or sneak in a event before, it's my first time doing this and i feel happy and excited

I don't care if later mom and dad will nag at me, i just want to be free, just for this day...
