With Andrea cradled in Logan's arms, he gracefully descended the stairs. As they made their entrance, the sight of the stunning couple left Eve in absolute awe. Andrea's beauty and their perfect match with Logan were simply enchanting.
The twins, too, couldn't contain their excitement. They stood there, wide-eyed and amazed, watching their loving Papa carrying down their elegant new mommy.
The maids, not to be outdone, were equally captivated by the spectacle unfolding before them.
Andrea, though initially embarrassed, found solace in Logan's chest, which emitted a comforting scent. Gradually, she summoned the courage to glance down at the adoring faces below. After all, Logan was her husband, and there was no reason to be shy.
Eve graced the occasion in a stylish black gown adorned with delicate purple patterns along the sides. Her hair was elegantly styled in a bun with a wispy bang delicately resting on her forehead.
The girls, too, were impeccably dressed, adding to the overall charm of this unforgettable moment.
Andrea couldn't help but wonder, "Was I the only one who wasn't aware of the ball being this morning?" Her thoughts swirled as Logan whisked her away, carrying her gracefully out of the house and toward the waiting car.
With a hint of reluctance, she protested, "W-wait, what about breakfast? I'm hungry!" Andrea wasn't mentally prepared to face those vampires just yet.
Logan reassured her with a gentle smile, "We shall eat on the way!" As if on cue, a sleek black limousine pulled up in front of them, and he carefully settled her inside the luxurious car.
Meanwhile Eve and the girls were taken to the ball by Diego, Logan's friend.

Andrea sighed as she gazed upon the limousine. This wasn't her first time in one; after all, she was once a top-ten actress in Graceland. But she still felt nervous, stealing glances at Logan beside her. Everything had happened so fast that she hadn't had a proper look at him.
Logan was dressed in a black suit that perfectly matched her outfit. His neatly combed hair seemed to glow. Despite his annoyance, she couldn't deny his extraordinary handsomeness. He exuded charm and coldness, like a handsome villain from a novel.
She couldn't help but wonder why such a man had remained single all his life and where the girl's mother was. Then, the name "Rebecca" crossed her mind. Logan's reaction when she asked about her suggested a troubled past, making her serious about it.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the enticing smell of bacon as Logan placed a tray of food in front of her. "Eat! We'll reach the venue in an hour," he said firmly, returning to his tasks. Andrea ate to her heart's content.
An hour later, they arrived at the venue, the car parking indoors. Logan came out and opened the door for Andrea, helping her out of the limousine. Soon, Diego arrived with his car, joined by Eve and the girls, ready to head to the ball.
Logan extended his hand, and his eyes remained fixed on Andrea as she wrapped her hands around his arm, and they both walked into the grand hall.

The grand hall was a sight to behold. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a warm, golden glow across the marble floors. Elaborate floral arrangements adorned every corner, and the soft strains of classical music filled the air. Andrea couldn't help but be impressed by the opulence of it all.
As they made their way through the crowd, heads turned in their direction. Andrea, with her grace and Logan, with his magnetic presence, made an unforgettable entrance. Whispers and curious glances followed them, adding to the air of mystique that surrounded the pair.
They were all still surprise about the fact that the vampire lord now had a wife who was pregnant with his heir.
When his mother had announced it at the meeting, they all thought she was just joking but she even went all the way to making a ball.
Now that showed that she wasn't kidding and the vampire lord did have an heir.
Logan guided Andrea to the center of the room, where a dance floor had been set up. The music shifted to a romantic melody, and without a word, he extended his hand towards her. She accepted with a smile, and they began to dance.
Their movements were fluid and effortless, as if they had been dancing together for years. Andrea couldn't help but feel a strange connection with Logan, despite his enigmatic demeanor. She found him quite intriguing.
"Logan," she began, "I couldn't help but notice your reaction earlier when I mentioned Rebecca. Who is she, and what's your history with her?" Andrea asked, her curiosity getting the better of her as they swayed to the music.
Now with an annoyed expression, Logan said, "I remember telling you never to mention that name ever again, but yet you still chose to disobey me.. tell me Andrea, do you enjoy annoying me?"
He asked as he rolled her slightly according to the dance step.
Smiling deviously, Andre replied, "Of course I love annoying you but don't forget that you also annoyed me all night, take them as karma and FYI, you said that I should never bring her name up under your roof, I don't think we are in the mansion any longer are we?"
Andrea said as she enjoyed teasing Logan and seeing his handsome face bend in anger.
But just then, a familiar voice was heard from the high stage as Grace, Logan's mother.
Grace was dressed in an elegant gown, stood tall on the high stage with a microphone in her hand. Her voice carried a warm and welcoming tone as she began her speech for Andrea's welcoming ball.
"Dear friends and family," Grace's words resonated through the venue, "Tonight is a special night, a night of joy and celebration. We gather here not only to welcome Andrea but also to embrace the newest member of our clan, her precious baby."
Grace continued, "Andrea brings with her a wealth of love, wisdom, and strength. We are fortunate to have her join our family, and we eagerly await the arrival of the newest addition. Let us cherish this moment and pledge to support and love them both, as they become an integral part of our clan's tapestry."
Grace's words were met with applause and smiles, setting the tone for a night of joyous celebration and bonding.
As they all looked at Andrea, Andrea smiled and bowed slightly.
She was used to the spotlight as she was an actress so she knew well how to respond to their applause.
After Grace's heartfelt speech, the party came alive with guests engaging in various conversations. Logan excused himself to speak with some other men, while others mingled in different groups.
Andrea, feeling somewhat like an outsider in the vampire clan, decided to take a glass of wine. However, just before she could sip it, the reality of her pregnancy hit her, and she sighed, opting for a glass of orange juice instead.
She couldn't help but reflect on her unique position – the reason for this ball was her unborn child, as she was a human among vampires. Her thoughts wandered, and her gaze fell upon Eve, who was in a dimly lit corner. Eve was not alone; two other girls accompanied her, reminding Andrea of Rochelle and Rachel.
"They must be her friends," Andrea thought to herself as she took another sip of her orange juice.
Suddenly, her name was called loudly by a woman approaching her, and before she could react, she felt a sharp slap across her face.
*Pa!*
The room fell silent, and Andrea's cheek stung from the unexpected slap.
