"wow!This party is a lit and the decorations are top notch." Ella praised as Eliza gave her a warm smile.
"Yeah, thanks to Amanda she gave me some great party theme." Eliza replied.
"Really?" Ella chuckled.
"Anyways I'll see you later, enjoy the party." Ella said as she walked into the ballroom filled with guests dancing and drinking.
"Amanda!" Ella called, waving her hand in the air to get her attention.
"Ella." Amanda replied as she rushed over to meet her.
"Wow! You're looking good!" Ella commented.
"Yeah, Charles got the dress for me." Amanda replied blushing.
"Oh! So it seems you two are now together?" Ella chuckled in between her question.
"No...I mean I don't even know." Amanda replied.
"Easy just tell Charles how you feel and leave the rest besides you might never ever see each other again so today might be your only chance." Ella explained.
"Yeah, you're right I'll tell him how I feel." Amanda replied with a smile.

"Hey Eliza! I see you're the one welcoming the guests tonight." Chris teased, giving her a wink.
"Stop with the rubbish and all." Eliza frowned as she turned to face Charles.
"Hi Charles, you're looking good." Eliza complimented.
"Thanks... you're also looking amazing." He replied, smiling.
"So where is Jayden or isn't he attending the party?" Eliza asked, once she noticed his absence.
"Actually...he's already left." Chris said, rubbing the back of his neck as he laughed nervously.
"Already left? To where?" She inquired.
"He left for the states a few hours ago." Charles replied.
"What? Why didn't anyone tell me? Was that why he was behaving weird recently?" Eliza asked one question after another.
"He told us not to tell anyone especially you or you wouldn't allow him to go." Chris explained.
"So... anyways forget about it, just enjoy the party." Eliza stated, forcing a smile.
"Are you fine?" Charles suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I'm good just go in." Eliza said as they both gave a last glance at her and entered the large hall.
Eliza fell to the ground crying.
"Why did you do this Jayden? You shouldn't have left me? Was that the reason you rejected my proposal?". Eliza muttered to herself.

"Boss everything is ready, I've gotten the men on standby and it's easy to mingle with them since it is a masquerade party." The bodyguard explained as Chloe just nonchalantly nodded.
"No mistake this time just go and kidnap the girl." Chloe ordered.
"Yes boss! No mistakes this time."
"Here take this...you might need this." She said, handing him a gun.
"Be careful!" Chloe warned.
"Yes boss."
