Melissa sounds around so fast that her heel caught in the hem of her dress, and she stumbled forward ungracefully, her fingers reaching for the nearest support to stop her from falling. The nearest support happened to be a rushing, disorganized waiter still carrying cold drinks for the guests who were far too invested in the drama to even care about the drinks.She grabbed his suit hard, and the man stumbled forward, the drinks tipping off the delicate tray they had been arranged on. For a long moment, the glasses swirled dangerously close to the edge. Just as Melissa started to straighten, the glasses finally tipped straight unto Melissa's hair and dress, a mix of red and white and a green coloured drink that smelled like mint.The drops soaked straight into her dress, changing the colour to a sickly mix of green and white against red, and the drinks soaked straight to her feet.Melissa let out a long shriek of horror, and Caleb immediately ran towards Melissa, grabbing her before sh

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Caleb yelled, walking forward, his chest heaving. His eyes darted to the guard, who was still bouncing on his feet, beads of perspiration coming together on his forehead. "We were invited," Amelia said slowly, her eyes thin as she let them dart towards Melissa behind Caleb.Melissa was pale, her eyes wide, her fingers clenching into fists.The entire party had stopped whatever they were doing. Even the music had stopped. "Congratulations," Coulter said, his eyes darting across both Caleb and Melissa's eyes. Melissa slowly walked forward, her chest heaving hard with barely contained fury."Oh, how nice of you to join us!" Her voice was sickly sweet, her eyes thin, betraying the lightness she tried to convey. "I understand the tardiness. It must have been such a hassle to look through thrift places in order to find something half decent.""I don't think that is why we are here," Coulter said, stopping in front of Amelia. "If you are only going to

The villa was a glittering castle by the time disk fell, and cars started to line up outside the villa. The guard was ushering people in, and Caleb, dressed in the impeccable, rented suit, stayed outside with him, under the guise of welcoming guests, but was really just making sure the man wouldn't pull some stupid stunt during the party."You are sure everything is okay, right?""Be rest assured, boss," the guard said, waving in yet another fleet of cars, with the occupants nodding towards Caleb, who smiled at them and raised his glass of red wine. "Your party will go smoothly. I will make sure of that."Caleb nodded slowly, then adjusted his tie. Melissa and Madam Gabriella were already on their way, fashionably late, because they wanted to make sure that Melissa's entrance would be unforgettable.Melissa took in her reflection in the car's rear view mirror one last time as the villa came into view. She looked impeccable, her dress a dark red silk gown that caught the light and her

The private jet touched down the private air field by eleven a.m. Coulter and Amelia were now sitting in the main space, across from each other. "We are here," Coulter said, his voice low, his eyes meeting Amelia. For a split second, his eyes darted down to her kiss swollen lips, and the fresh hickey blooming on the edge of her collarbone.He broke into a small, knowing smile, then turned away."That was.. probably the craziest thing I have ever done," Amelia said, laughing, her eyes holding Coulter's. "Is it?"The plane came to a final stop, and Coulter stood up, then leaned down to Amelia's seat, gently taking off the belt. He held out his hand, and she took it."By a far mile. The second would be running away from home."Coulter's brow raised. "Oh? The prim and proper Amelia ran away from home?"She broke into a laugh. "Is it that hard to believe?""Well, yes. You look like you have never had to experience the streets.""Well, I built NS Corp from the ground up.""I know that.

Melissa went through the final arrangements approximately seven hours before the party, then left the villa for the working hands to get ready. She had to get ready too. Makeup, stylists, and everything else.The penthouse was quiet when they got back, almost like it knew they would be leaving it soon. "I am going to take a shower," Melissa said, turning to Caleb who was still sweating.No one bothered to ask why he looked like he had seen a ghost. He also couldn't tell. Earlier, while they were at the villa, the guard had pulled his aside, then explained that the villa's owner us starting to express mild interest in returning to the country. Caleb had immediately paled. He barely had an explanation to feed Melissa by the time she realized he wasn't working her IPO with the five hundred thousand dollars she gave him, and now he would also have to come up with a reason why they could no longer stay at the villa after he had paid so much to buy it and then even done a housewarming.

It was past midnight by the time Coulter and Amelia finally made it back to their hotel room. A hotel attendant carried all the bags of dresses, mostly dresses that Coulter had insisted Amelia take, while she protested the price. Coulter closed the door behind them as Amelia slowly turned to him. The massive suite suddenly felt smaller as their eyes met over the large space."Today was fun," Amelia said, her voice small as she looked around the bags. "Are you sure all of this is okay?"Coulter got off the door and sloely covered the distance till he was towering above her. His jand gently cupped the side of her face, his thumb gently running across her cheek."You deserve everything beautiful, Amelia. That I can promise you."She gave a small laugh. "No one has ever told me that before. I guess I am having a lot of firsts today."Coulter leaned forward, placing a small kiss to the edge of her lips, enough to make her close her eges and lean forward, her fingers tightening in his shir
