Chapter 6 - ENTANGLED (past pt.4)

No one pov ~

The university campus was abuzz with the return of the enigmatic Queen Bee, Athena. Her reputation preceded her, and whispers followed in her wake. Among the crowd, Sebastian, Arsen, and their group members couldn't help but notice the attention Athena garnered.

"I can't believe the university queen bee is back," remarked one of the students, glancing towards Athena,

who was inexplicably clinging onto Sebastian. As they walked into hall filled with students there was a buzz upon seeing Sebastian and Athena together arm in arm 

Meanwhile~

 Violet who was minding her business unable to forget the club incident busy in her thoughts as she navigated the stairs, her attention shifting to buzzy students as she glanced back With a sudden misstep, she stumbled, her laces betraying her. Just as she staggered on the clashing someone from the front as she was on the verge of a fall, strong arms caught her, sending a thrill through her.

Blue eyes, messy hair, and an alluring face met her making her heart skip a beat as her eyes widened in surprise

Leonard, the group leader of Sebastian's nemesis. Recognition sparked between them, and Leonard couldn't help but be captivated by Violet's eyes. Her pale face, tinted lips long hair falling near her face as he was holding her from the waist, and she was leaning on him for support balance, and her fragile appearance only intensified the spell she cast over him he wanted to love her and protect her. A small smirk played on Leonard's face, oblivious to the growing whispers and stares from other students buzzing in

-oooooooooooooo!!!!!!.

Unbeknownst to both of them, Sebastian, busy on his phonewalking towards stairs heard the sudden change in sound that made him look up as his feet stopped in track witnessing as his gaze locked onto the scene. His eyes narrowed as he witnessed Violet in Leonard's arms.

made his blood boil with rage, Athena ended the call and looked beside her sensing the tension Athena followed his gaze and narrowed her eyes only words left her mouth 

-"VIOLET?"

she looked back at Sebastian who yanked her away getting away from her grip and walked forward toward the stairs

Violet pov ~

I was stunned by what happened his blue eyes and alluring face made my heartbeat go fast everyone around started buzzing suddenly pair of arms caught me back pulling me backward and crashing into the person as I looked up it was none other than SEBASTIAN his face had sense of discomfort and anger was visible last night club incident flash as I gain my composure pushing him away from me 

No One Pov~

As Violet pushed Sebastian away from herself her face was cold adding tension in the air everyone was shocked cause she was a quiet girl who barely spoke to anyone minding her own business something was different in her as she continued

Violet- Stay away from me Mr. Sebastian Morelz!

as she said that audible for everyone to hear there was a gasp making everyone shock 

Sebastian- what?

Violet- Why are you helping a nerd Mr.Sebastian ?

there was a hurtful look on her face as she left from there everyone was still trying to process what happened as Athena walked closer with a Cold drink in her hand.

Sebastian grabbed the drink and threw it on the floor hard as he yelled with rage and frustration

Sebastian- What are you all doing don't you all have work? 

LEAVE EVERYONE!

he said as everyone started to leave back to their homes leaving Athena and Leonard standing beside him.

Leonard walked up to him Whispering -"Dude Violet has have sexy waist you know?"

as he said Sebastian was glaring at him clenching his fist in anger controlling himself as Leonard continued

-"Violet is mine now she caught my attention so back off"

the smirk was visible on his face suddenly Sebastian punched him but he started to laugh and left From there Athena who came closer to him held him by his arm making him face towards her while he was trying to control himself as he could burst out any soon 

Athena- Why are you getting angry hu? (suspicious eyes)

Sebastian-leave me !(sound of warning)

Athena-don't tell me you fall for that pathetic bitch!(disgust)

Sebastian- what the hell is you deal hu? (yelling)

Athena- don't shout at me !(flinched)

Sebastian- I can never fall for her I don't know I just felt angry!(confused)

Athena- I don't care you belong to me got it!(furious)

Sebastian - SHUPT UP!

he yelled at her pushing her away from himself as she walked out from there with a scoff Sebastian was still confused why was he feeling angry why did he have a burning sensation all over himself seeing Leonard and Violet together?

No one pov~

the question still lingering in his mind he can't deny the fact only to get a call from his dad as the phone buzzed he looked and picked it up trying to maintain his composer

-hello?

Dad-we have a business party and I want you there no but or if 

-....

Dad-got it?

-Ok!

The call ended as he walked out of the university driving reached his mansion and started to prepare for the upcoming party that was held tonight.

Somewhere else ~

Violet came home with a gloomy face making her mother look at her with a questionable look on her face

Mom - what happened?

Violet- nothing mom!(sigh)

Mom- well we have to go to an important business party!(handing Violet a luxurious bag)

Violet- what is this?(confused)

Mom- you are also coming it's important here is the dress since you have only baggy clothes and shoes with other items so yeah!(sigh)

Violet- but---

Mom- please darling ! Just once your dad has been Vice president of the company for over 10 years and you have never attended a party nor been introduced to anyone please?( trying to convince her)

Violet- fine! (sigh)

as she said walking into her room she tossed on the bed feeling cozy and comfortable still thoughts running through her head and decided to get ready as she opened the box it had a long fitted white gown with a side slit and broad collar with bloated sleeves it was looking pretty with pair of white shoes.

as she later got ready she asked her parent to leave early and she would come there quite late cause of exhaustion it would take her time finally getting ready she was surprised by her look too cause she never wore any of it she preferred long baggy clothes or small fluffy frocks as she left the mansion after getting the call as reached at the venue.

AT PARTY~

The business event hall exudes modern elegance with a neutral color palette, subtle artwork, and strategic lighting. Plush seating arrangements surround a central focal point, while polished wooden floors add warmth. Meticulously set tables, fresh floral arrangements, and wary branding contribute to a professional atmosphere. Background music creates a lively yet conducive ambiance for networking and collaboration, 

As the party was going on there were many big investors and C.E.O as party maintained its elegance soon Violet reached the venue and walked inside the hall sounds of heels clicking could be heard as everyone was busy talking to slow music but her entrance gained attention as they were confused who was she ? 

But someone couldn't take his eyes off her his heart was beating fast everything around him felt like silence Sebastian stood there his mouth slightly hung open as she walked toward his direction with a socked look not expecting him to be there as she stood beside her dad he introduced her to everyone.

--------

Mr.Salvator - Hello everyone! This is my daughter Violet !

as he said everyone's eyes laid Violet who had a small smile and was busy calming down her hesitation she slightly bowed cause everyone was older than her soon someone walked up to her dad 

Mr.Morelz-Mr.Salvator I want you to meet the investor-

Who is this young lady?

he said with brows frown Violet gave him a small smile as her dad introduced her to his boss who gave a small smile with a slight nod and continued

Mr.Morlez- You must be getting bored here Violet I also have a son your age maybe you can find accompany here.

he said with a slight smile as soon he called his son

Mr.Morelz- Sebastian!

Violet was stunned to speak her heart beat faster as Sebastian in a black formal dress walked up and screamed perfection as he stood beside Dad with a slight smirk unoticed by anyone as both of their father left from there leaving Violet and Sebastian alone Violet's mom was busy with her friends Sebastian was looking at her mesmerized by her beauty.

Sebastian- She makes me go crazy fuck! 

he sightly whispered eyes still fixed on Violet who was trying to find a way to escape hearing his words she looked towards him with a slight frown as she rolled her eyes.

Sebastian- let's go ! 

walking ahead towards her as she stood still walking opposite direction as he held her by hand stopping her from going 

Violet- what the hell leave me! (whisper)

Sebastian-dad asked me to look after you (eye roll)

Violet- I am not baby! (whispers)

Sebastian - you are a big one! (laughing)

saying that he started to drag her toward another end of the hall which had a secret balcony Violet was still trying to get out but stopped as she was mesmerized by the view in front of her.

Standing on the balcony, the night unveils its magic. The city lights twinkle like stars below, casting a soft glow on the streets. Cars move like glowing ants, and buildings illuminate the darkness with a gentle warmth. The air is calm, carrying the distant sounds of the city's nightlife. Above, the sky is studded with a sprinkle of stars, creating a tranquil and enchanting scene. It's a quiet moment of serenity, a simple yet beautiful night view from the balcony.

Sebastian couldn't tear his gaze away from Violet as she stood on the spacious balcony, bathed in the ethereal glow of the moonlight. Her hair, tightly bound in an updo, held a certain mystery, but it only heightened her allure. The night air was filled with a gentle breeze, carrying a sense of anticipation as Sebastian approached her, unnoticed. She seemed lost in the beauty of the night, her eyes reflecting the shimmering stars above.

Without a word, Sebastian reached for the long hairpin that held her dark brown hair in its tight embrace. As the pin came free, her silky locks cascaded down, flowing like a waterfall of darkness. Two side bangs framed her face, adding a touch of whimsy to her already enchanting presence.

Violet, startled by the unexpected gesture, turned to face Sebastian, her eyes meeting his. In that moment, an unspoken question lingered in the air. Sebastian, usually stated with words, found himself at a loss, captivated by the unveiled beauty that had been hidden away.

 Sebastian-"Why hide this from everyone?"

Sebastian finally managed to say, his voice barely a whisper. His eyes traced the contours of her face, and the moonlit balcony seemed to hold its breath, caught in the magic of the unfolding revelation.

In the peaceful moonlight ambiance of the balcony, as Sebastian gazed into Violet's revealed beauty, an electric tension filled the air. Unable to resist the magnetic pull, he closed the distance between them, his fingers grazing her waist as he pulled her closer, closing the gap between them. His fingers found her waist, a gentle yet possessive hold, he leaned in, towards her ear as he whispered,

-"What are you doing to me?"

The sensation sent a wave of electric tingles through her entire being. His deep voice, like a seductive melody his words a breathy caress against her ear. The warmth of his breath and the closeness of his lips left an unforgettable mark on her senses. Time seemed to freeze, and the moon above bore witness to the unspoken connection that unfolded between them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------spoiler--------------

Violet -"What are you doing, Sebastian?"

 her voice a mix of curiosity and vulnerability. His cold hands traced the contours of her warm face, and his eyes were fixed on her tinted light red lips. In the moonlit intimacy, Sebastian hesitated for a moment before confessing,

Sebastian- "Believe me, I don't know. I can't seem to get you out of my mind after that detention night, No one has been this close to me."

His words hung in the air as he looked into her eyes, inches apart. The unspoken tension crackled, leaving both of them on the precipice of a revelation, a crossroads where emotions were laid bare. The moon, witness to this fragile connection, held the promise of an unfolding love story, the ending of which remained suspended as storm was about to come .

        "The bet, a game of hearts, unfolded between Sebastian and Leonard. The stakes were high, and the terms were set—two weeks .... heart. The night held the promise of suspense, and the confidential competition began, shrouded in secrecy.       

  Little did they know that Violet, with her own enigmatic allure, held the power to rewrite the rules of the game. The stage was set for a thrilling duel, and the outcome remained veiled in the mystery of love's unpredictable journey."

 

            "Don't blame me love made me crazy I don't care if I doing ain't right "
