He had sent in his knights to escort and watch her shadowy, so as not to make her feel weird and tensed. He wanted her to have fun and be her, not pretend cause of his guards. It was only normal that they sent these pictures to him.
.
Stepping into the dance floor, a hand was placed on her waist and one hand entwined into another, they moved according to the instrument playing. It was a sensual beat playing slowly and steadily caging everyone in a certain mood.
While they danced, someone was found grimacing and wallowing in pain. Though he was with a beautiful girl, he still wanted the one that broke his heart, he wanted her so badly. Damn... He hasn't fallen in love with anyone this much before. Damien felt queasy and for some reason, he wanted to kill someone.
Elsa moved her body following his movement as a subtle smile graced her lips, she started right into Anthony's eyes. "You look really beautiful Elsa." He said calmly, already lost in those eyes. "How come I never noticed this beauty, back in school?" Both people switched positions and she held another, but Anthony continued his stare, and Elsa kept on smiling.
On getting back with him for the final dance move, she was pulled by something and her body crashed against a hard surface. *gasp* She met his gaze, the familiar hazel eyes were deadly. Was Damien upset? Why is he upset? Both people stared at each other while dancing, both speechless and unable to say a thing to one another.
She just couldn't tell what Damien wanted even after finding out she's married to someone else. On the other hand, the anger that once enveloped Damien subsided the moment he saw her face, all he wanted to do right now is pull her in for a kiss.
Claire left the dance floor furiously, it was high time she did something about this witch that keeps taking her spot. Here she thought, she had a close relationship with Damien only to be sidelined by this witch who's already married. She stood at a corner watching them wrap up the dance, this was so embarrassing, anyone could see their emotions openly.
It's no news Damien had a thing or two for Elsa, but considering the fact that Elsa is married, does she like Damien back?
Their dance section was over and it was finally time to announce who the prom king and queen were. Elsa just didn't think of it much, since she's barely talked to anyone and hasn't been in school for quite some time. She really couldn't call at least 6 names of her schoolmate she knew. Usually, prom king and queen are decided by the students. This means the most popular kids are usually chosen.
Unlike Claire, she's the face of Alora high, she's loved by many and the most popular kid in school. Her dreams were coming through, it was like the angels had already aligned them for her. Her dream of dancing with the most popular boy in high school was already achieved even if her devil of a cousin had to step in the way.
She took in a deep breath to com her nerves, she's decided not to let anything get her angry. Tonight is her night and she wouldn't let it get ruined.
Claire's head was raised thing ignoring the glares from her fellow female students who also had a crush on Damien.
She darted her gaze around to see Elsa smiling nonchalantly with Jesse, she frowned. This face annoyed her more than anything, somehow she knew Elsa was also nominated on the list of soon-to-be prom queens. Claire was very aware that Elsa is not as popular as she is, but she was still so jealous. Who knows, she might also take this crown from her like the rest.
For crying out loud, this is her imaginary rival, the perfect example of the girl she should be or would be. Elsa had everything, money, love, and many more, things came to her so easily, but Claire has to work her butt off to get what she wanted. She was tired, tired of seeing this face close to her all the time.
"Are you alright?" Damien asked when he noticed the slight frown on her face, she nodded a little giving a reassuring smile. The entire students were tensed at who the prom queen would be, knowing the names on the list was tough, except for a particular name. Elsa Black.
"Don't you feel tense? Your name is on that list" Jesse said to the totally happy girl sitted next to her. Attending this event is just a way to skip her family issues and just have a good time, she hopes Liam handles everything as he has promised her, and everything will be back to normal.
Her father can finally reveal his face to the world again to let them know he's not dead. "We all know I'm not winning that, but I'm happy for whoever wins." She rubbed her feet lightly.
She sure is going to find a way for liam to kiss and massage her feet tonight. She blushed at the thought of him, she would have loved him present here if this was not children's event for him. The principal stepped on the stage to announce the prom king and queen of the year.
She didn't purchase the tickets to the event so she barely knew she was nominated, Liam only told her he's bought the tickets for her and handed them over to her. It was obvious Damien would be the prom king, somehow within her, she wished she would be prom queen, but with her absence and abstinence from the student, she doubt anyone would recognize her to even vote.
"The prom king of Alora High is... Damien Rivals." The principal announced for the crowd to cheer for him. The girls that were head over heels for him cheered, blushed, and giggled over him. His winning was quite predictable, Damien for some weird reason outshines many males in Alora High, it isn't surprising how he could win the homecoming and prom in the same section.
Claire's shoulders were raised high as she looked down on the other girls, whispers of her congratulations were already flying around and she was already feeling the glory. She couldn't wait to get crowned and celebrate with her mother.
The prom queen for this year goes to... Miss Claire Willow, please go off the stage we haven't called any names yet." The principal announced for her to step back a little. The students that abhorred her the most mocked and laughed at the principal's words. They knew she would win but her eagle was just too much.
"I'm so sorry for the interruption, so can we get back to what we're here for?" He cleared his throat arranging the paper before him, "The prom queen of Alora high is... Elsa Black." The room went dead silent as every soul in it was in shock, Elsa being the prom queen was the most stunning news anyone would think of.
Amidst the dead silence, only one person cheered loudly for her bestie, she was one of the few that nominated Elsa and was happy she won. Jesse's enthusiasm made the other student clap and cheer for the prom queen who has refused to go up there and take her crown.
She was still stunned at what just happened, there was no way she'd imagine herself being the prom queen of her year. They cheered her to get her crown, anyone was better than the rude Claire Willow, the one who thinks she's above the others. "Go get that crown baby," Jesse whispered.
Elsa walked up to the stage to get her crown, and Damien couldn't be any happier, the smile on his face broadened. His huge crush was the prom queen and he is king.

"I'm so sorry for my son, behavior, he will be corrected and sent out to study once he's done, so you don't have to worry sir." Mr. Rivals said to the man who hasn't said a word to him since he got here. He had no business with Mr. Black and he knew the only reason the man would ask of him is because of his son.
He apologized quickly so as not to upset the man. Damien is his only son and heir, if anything happens to him, he might die too. He knew it was his fault Damien is getting obsessed with the girl, he should have stopped him when all this started.
If this man before him decides to come for his family, he would wipe them out without blinking and there's nothing anyone can do about it. If this man could enslave a powerful woman like Florence and shit Lydia up taking half of her country for the damage she caused with Beaufort, then he could do anything.
Liam stared at the man lazily before parting his lips to speak, "I have a construction project I need you to handle Mr. Rival, you're the second option though, so don't disappoint me." He said calmly. Mr. Rival was stunned by the man's sudden change in demeanor, he had thought liam was aware of his son's deeds. What an embarrassing situation.
Liam stared at the man, smiling inwardly, if he wanted to deal with his son, he'd do it without warning. Besides what fight does a busy man like him have with a high school student? His little will take the punishment, not Damien.
He would punish her to his satisfaction when she gets back.
"I'll do just that Sir." Rival said. "A contract will be sent by my assistance to you tomorrow, just sign that and the rest of the deal will be made then." He took a sip of his drink. "Master, Mr. Anakin is here to see you." The butler announced. "Then I shall take my leave now, it's nice doing business with you, Mr. Black." James Rival rose to his feet and pranced out of the lounge.
"Get dinner ready in the garden, I'll have my talk with Ethan right there." No matter what, Ethan was now family to Liam and the least he could do is treat him like one. The man is very determined, that's one of the reasons he liked Ethan.
Ethan stepped out of his car giving the guards his keys to park properly, he felt uneasy visiting this man again. He would have declined this call if it was any other person, at this point he just doesn't think Liam is human anymore. That bomb blast was something no one can escape from, even the most skilled athlete cannot escape from that.
"My master's this way, sir." The butler gestured his hands to the garden and Ethan could already see the man's eyes on him. From what Liam did to his brothers, he knew this man is even more dangerous than before.
"Mr. Black." He greeted formally taking a seat from the rest.
