I stormed off and grabbed Aloia by the hand pulling her out onto the balcony.

I was in the progress of dancing with Michael and trying to keep his hands off my bum and breasts. Every time I would move one hand from being on my butt, the other would slide to my breast.

I had told him multiple times to stop but he just doesn't seem to get the message. He is definitely going to be the person dead tonight instead of my father. I was done with his bullshit.

Michael was about to reach for my ass again when someone gripped my arm and started pulling me in the other direction.

"What the-"

"Shut up. Do not even speak a word" Caspian growled as he pulled me to the balcony.

'Oh, someone's mad.' I thought to myself suppressing a laugh.

He dragged me outside onto the balcony and pulled the curtains back so no one could see our argument.

"What the fuck Aloia!" Caspian screamed at me pushing me into a wall.

"What's wrong hun? Can't get a girl to dance with you?" I asked innocently.

"Do not fucking test me right now. I gave you a perfectly fine dress and then you turn it into this. Every fucking man in that room is thinking about fucking you in their own sick perverted way." He growled.

"That's the whole fucking point. How do you think I could get someone to switch masks with Weylin if no one is attracted to me?" I responded knowing I was right. He was just pissed that I looked sexy as fuck.

"No one should get to look at you in this fucking dress. No one should think of the different ways to fuck you when you belong to me." He said, pulling my face to his with his fingers around my chin.

'Fuck it' I told myself and leaned into his lips. If he was to kiss me, I was going to make the first move. I am tired of being a submissive little bitch.

I moved my hands to his hair and pulled it as his tongue grazed mine. I put down on his lip gently and he let out a growl.

All of a sudden, I saw the curtains move from the entrance to the balcony and I shoved Caspian off me.

"You better explain what the fuck you and Aloia are in right now!" Silas yelled, as he closed the curtain and marched up to us.

"You fucking told him." I said turning my head to Caspian. I should have never kissed that dumb fuck.

"He knew something was going on between us, there was no other way around it." He responded.

"You had one FUCKING thing to do Caspian and you can't keep your damn mouth shut." I said pissed off. I can't believe he explained the either thing we were working for to the one person who shouldn't know.

"Can you please stop yelling at Caspian and explain to me what the hell is going on between the North and South, love?" Silas asked, coming closer to me and cupping my face.

Caspian let out a growl and pushed him off me.

"Alright enough!" I yelled and both of the boys turned to face me surprised. "Stop acting like fucking children and used your damn words. Silas, I am not your love. We aren't even mates. I will explain to you the conflict after tonight."

"No I-"

"Stop fucking talking over me. I wasn't done" I interrupted Silas as he went quiet. "There is too much riding on tonight to worry about this as well. Caspian, you will fill Silas in on the real conflict between the North and South in a calm manner."

"But- "

"Stop talking over me dammit", I growled at Caspian and he shrunk down "I don't care how much you hate him. You will explain it to him and show him the transaction his father has been doing as proof. Whatever you do, you will not fuck up tonight. Silas you will go into my bedroom with Caspian, calmly and when you are done with your talk you will both come back in a calm manner. Both of you will not complain to me or start arguing with each other again tonight. Do you understand?"

"Yes", both of them replied at the same time.

Man, I really have them whipped.

"Oh and Silas, Caspian is telling you the truth. No matter what lies your father has said, my mother was involved in all of this and your father is the one to pay." I said sincerely "And Caspian do you have Weylin's mask?" I asked him.

"Here", he said, handing me the mask.

"Alright perfect" I said taking it into my hands "If I hear something about you two arguing or fighting, I will tie you both to a chair and make you watch Lorenzo give you a speech about your behavior and make you guys do a bonding experience." I said with a threatening voice.

"Who is Lorenzo and why is a bonding experience scary?" Silas asked.

"You don't want to know." Caspian replied with a shudder.

I made a mental note to thank Lorenzo for giving me something to threaten Caspian with when he is behaving bad.

"Alright, go. Time is running out." I told them as I walked back out into the ballroom. "And Caspian, you still have a little lipstick on your mouth" I said with a wink.

It took me 5 minutes to spot Michael. He was dancing with a girl who was very much younger than him. His hands were on her butt and she was very obviously uncomfortable.

I no longer felt bad about killing him tonight.

"Michael", I said tapping on his shoulder with a flirtatious smile.

"Ah, Aloia would you like to dance with me again my dear. I know you liked my style" He said with a wink.

I wanted to knee his groin right there and then, but I knew I had to keep it in.

"Would you like to go to the balcony with me?" I asked nicely, batting my eyelashes.

"I would love to", he said with a sly smile. He thought he was going to have sex with me on the balcony. HA!

He basically pushed the girl he was dancing with away, and she looked relieved. She couldn't have been more than 12 and I felt terrible for her.

He offered me his arm and pulled me to the balcony.

'Eager much' I thought to myself.

As soon as we went onto the balcony, he started to lean in to kiss me when I put a hand to his mask.

"Why don't we talk off our masks?" I offered. "So it's easier"

"Whatever you want darling", he said with a sly smile and pulled off his mask.

God, he wasn't good looking at all. I took the mask from his hands and leaned in to kiss him. When his eyes closed, I threw the mask off the balcony, praying no one was walking near us. He pulled my face forwards and tried to stick his tongue down my throat.

I quickly pulled back and said "I forgot. My papa is waiting for me. Sorry."

I handed him my father's mask and ran away before he tried to grab me and shove his tongue down my throat again.

I needed a glass of champagne urgently. As I walked back in and grabbed a glass from a waiter. I saw Caspian back into the hall through a back door.

I locked eyes with Caspian, and he gave me a wink. I rolled my eyes as a response.

Caspian walked up to me and gave me his hand and asked, "A dance my lady?"

"Where the hell is Silas?" I asked as I took his hand.

"Ah, no questions until we are dancing" he replied with a sly smile.
