Chapter 48 - Chapter 48-Masquerade Ball(3)

Kageyama took the mic and cleared his throat as he said, "*ahem*, May I have the attention of all the gentlemen and ladies?"

All the people stopped talking with each other or poaching each other as they turned their attention towards the stage wondering what the host has to say.

Kageyama smiled politely and said, "On the occassion of our company's anniversary, I would like you all to meet my son Asher and his partner, please give a big applause for them."

He put the mic back and started clapping while looking at the entrance, some people knew about the truth that their son was adopted and he did not attend any social gatherings of socialetes, they only had seen him one or two times when he was 8 or 9, so they had actually forgotten about him.

Moreover there were no news about him, no scandals or whatsoever as the majority of rich heirs are regularly in news due to many reasons, but they never heard about any Asher in news, some even laughed that his name matched with the famous A.S.H corporation, they laughed at their own imagination.

Oh boy they were so wrong...

There was also a young lady with freckles on her face and yellow hair, she was calmly observing all the surrounding, she knew about this Asher as she had searched about him and she knew that he studied in a school and she had already met him in royal palace, she was truly shocked after seeing the face of this famous person.

Then she remembered his gaze, she felt small as if she cannot hide any secrets from him, she was intrigued by him, she had always played innocent and kind girl, she had manipulated and used bitch in controlling many top people, no one has ever seen her true facade, even her own family thinks her as a innocent and weak lady.

But she felt threatened just by the gaze of that Asher, she felt that if she even made a mistake of a second, her whole facade would be blown away by him, this made her interest in him.

And she found some interesting things, that he was in relationship with Sakura Yamauchi, and she also found out that Takahiro was obsessed by Sakura and then after just some days, Takahiro was destroyed, all his reputation was utterly destroyed.

Her information gathering network was big, she uses a moniker and with some manipulation on bitch and other people she almost find everything she wants to find about but in case of Asher she only found that he was a normal high schooler, which she utterly denies as even with whole backing from his father he cannot simply disappear Takahiro.

She wanted to take him under control, so she will see if he is enemy or her tool, she even is aware of underworld in which currently some 'Note' is very influential but no one has ever seen his face, only by adding all the forces in underworld could they stand a chance in front of 'note'.

She calmly sip the red wine looking all the people like her playthings and then she found the door opening lightly.

She smirked and muttered, "Let's play..."

On other hand, bitch was in arms of most eligible bachelor, she slightly moved away from him on her instinct cause she felt that she needs to seduce the incoming guest anyhow, she smirked and licked her lips.

(On outside of door)

Asher looked at his side to find Sakura looking at him, they both smirked and said at the same time, "Let's go~"

Asher pushed the door and entered the large place with look like the hall in hogwarts, just the roof was not sky, he calmly walked to towards his parents with Sakura in hand who was following him with a firm look in her eyes.

All the people looked at the couple as they become dumbfounded, never they would have thought that the son of Kageyama michuki would be this handsome though they were not able to see the whole face but they could easily decipher from those emerald eyes, perfect jawline, lean and muscular body that he was very handsome.

They similarly were baffled to see his partner who matched his level of beauty, her snow white skin, amber brown eyes, perfect hourglass figure, with curves at right places and ample assets, the dress also complimented greatly her greatly.

All the young men audibly gulped looking at her and even the fatty-lusty-richy ones could not help but lick their lips, all the young women with middle aged also were drooling over Asher.

For a moment many forgot that they were with their partners and lovers, so after some time they reluctantly retracted their gaze but could not help and take two-three glances at the wonderful couple.

Although Rachel knew that he was handsome and Sakura was beautiful but she was still surprised at the level of beauty, though she does not care of any romance or interest towards sexual relationships as she is extremely power hungry and moreover she is not that beautiful so she does not need to use her beauty, if she had it then she would have fully used it, that's the reason she poached the bitch.

The bitch was wide eyed at Asher as she felt her body becoming hot due to overheating problems like the machines become overheat quickly due to overuse. The most eligible bachelor was rubbing his hands while looking at Sakura as he grinned evilly.

Although he knew that he is not even half as handsome as Asher, but his arrogance knows no bounds so he knew that he can easily obtain her from him, as before he only had to say a word to bitch and she agreed to become his girlfriend with full 'devotion'.

Obviously he will not break up with the bitch as her family background is great, but he will not leave Sakura at any cost.

Suddenly Asher hand started itching as he said to himself, 'So, the arrogant men will start coming to Sakura while wagging their tails hmm?'

He smirked lightly and went to his father and mother as he hugged them both and Sakura greeted his father respectfully while Shizune took her in a motherly hug.

Asher smiled at Kageyama and took the mic, his expression now became icy cold as he indifferently said, "Hello, I am Asher Michuki and I welcome all of you at the anniversary of Michell industries, please enjoy!"

After saying some simple words he put down the mic as Kageyama clapped and said, "Lets continue the party, after some time dancing will start, so grab your partners and be ready hehe~"

All the people clapped for a while, many of them still looked at the elegant couple as their couple dresses were matching, although they did not want to admit but they truly felt inferior in front of them and some even reluctantly agreed that they are perfect for each other.

Some old men and middle-aged men as well as their women were happy to see a great match as they could see the love and devotion in their eyes towards each other which was very difficult to find nowadays.

Both Asher and Sakura were with Asher's parents almost most of the time and then the time of dance came, naturally Asher and Sakura both knew dancing but Sakura only knew about normal waist to waist dance.

{A/N: I don't know about dancing very well, so please bear with my BS. :)}

Asher grinned as he had learnt many types of dances in his previous life, he will definitely spice things up.

Sakura suddenly felt cold chill ran through up her spine, she said to herself, 'Something bad will happen to me.'

She looked at Asher and found him grinning like a fool, now she was sure of it.

Just when she about to say something, a voice bloomed in people's ears.

"Let the first dance be of the hosts-Mr. Kageyama and Mrs. Shizune."

All the people clapped and some whistled.

After that a song started in background, it was a slow and calm song as both Kageyama and Shizune were in each other arms as they were swaying with the song, all the people were admiringly looking at the couple obviously exceptions are everywhere.

Both Kageyama and Shizune danced lovingly for 20 minutes and then the song slowed down as it ended, the crowd cheered for them, Asher also whistled at them.

After some time, Asher looked at Sakura and asked Sakura with a playful smile as he bowed down elegantly and stretched one of his arm towards her, "Will you accompany me to this lovely dance, beautiful?"

Sakura chuckled melodiously at his antics as she gracefully took his hand and said, "Sure."

Asher smiled and took her to the stage, the light dimmed as all the crowd attention was towards the stage...

A song started reverberating in background...

{

Your tears and my fears are almost disappear

So let's share the perfect time

For you and me

You knocked on my door

So let's start our journey

Because you came to see me first

And your loneliness and kindness are could be my trigger

So let's share the perfect time

Can you grab both my arms and we'll jump out the window

Let's see what our future holds

There's no time

You can't ignore how your feel inside

I can't wait to see them all from my heart

Take my hand

Sakura

Your tears and my fears are almost disappear

So let's share the perfect time

For you and me

You knocked on my door

So let's start our journey

Because you came to see me first

And your loneliness and kindness are could be my trigger

So let's share the perfect time

Can you grab both my arms and we'll jump out the window

Let's see what our future holds

There's no time

You can't ignore how your feel inside

I can't wait to see them all from my heart

Take my hand

{A/N: 'perfect time'-seven deadly sins}

Asher took hand of Sakura as she placed it on his shoulder and her body infinitely close to him, his hand was on her waist..

At first theu were slow but as soon as the song took his pace, their speed increased, as Asher lead her, he twirled her, they swayed in each other arms.

They danced sometime slow, other time fast, Asher lifted her bodies sometimes in air as he spun her around and she grabbed his neck while bending her back with a wide smile on her face.

This captivated all the young people, professional photographer were at work to capture these best moments.

They moved in coordination, with their feet moving in rhythm.

When the song came to end, Sakura let her body fall without any intention to stop as she trusted him wholeheartedly.

Asher saw her and then placed his hand on her waist and grabbed her one hand with his as her body tilted and they both looked into each other's eyes with a smile on their face.

The whole place erupted in cheers at the extravagant performance on them, Kageyama and Shizune were smiling ear to ear to see their son and future daughter-in-law dancing lovingly with each other.

Then both Asher and Shizune nodded at the crowd and turned around to go back, they reached to their parents and kageyama patted Asher's back as Shizune grabbed Sakura and started praising her.

After some time, Sakura said to Asher in his ears, "I am going to washroom. Okay?"

Asher turned and said to Sakura, "You want me to come?"

Sakura rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "No need, you talk here, I will come in a jiffy."

Asher finally nodded his head albeit reluctantly.
