Dove's POV

I heard the doorbell ring and I went to open the door. It's the day when I go to the event at Harris estate. Twilight was at the door to pick me up. I opened the door and saw my man wearing a perfectly fitted three-piece suit; with the two-toned blazers with left side black and right side white. He was wearing a black waistcoat. His tucked-in shirt was black with matching pants and a tie. His hair was gelled and he had done a slick back hairstyle.

"Now don't you look like a perfect gentleman, bunny," I complimented him as I pulled him in a kiss.

"And you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen," he spoke breaking the kiss. I was wearing a full-length black and white ombre dress with a side slit. Yes, we discussed the outfit prior cause I wanted us to match.

"Thank you," I grinned holding his hand, as I placed my other hand on his cheek caressing it.

"Should we get going?" I asked.

"Before that..." he paused and took out a flower from the inside pocket of his blazer. It was a white rose. "... I didn't know if you liked flowers or not, but Luis suggested bringing you one."

He nervously chuckled. I am not very fond of flowers but, it was a white rose— it symbolizes loyalty and purity, it's like the flower defines the person who brought it.

"I loved it," I took the flower from his hand.

"Thank you," I said. He smiled.

After placing the flower in a place where it won't wilt fast, both Twilight and I exited my house.

"Your mother and sister are not home?" He asked.

"I sent them away to Australia," I replied shortly. He stared at me for a moment but didn't ask anything further.

"You borrowed Luis and Shane's truck again?" I laughed. He shrugged.

"Well, I don't have a car and I don't want you to go to the event dressed up pretty like that on a motorbike," he chuckled.

"So considerate, bunny," I kissed his cheek which made them turn red.

We both got inside the truck and Twilight started the engine. As we drove off towards Harris estate, we both listened to our common favourite songs and talked about random things.

"Hey... I have been meaning to ask you this for a while now," he said.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"I have never seen you drive an automobile," he said. I chuckled.

"I know how to drive, but I prefer walking," I said. "When I walk and observe the surrounding, it helps me write— in simple words I get my inspiration to write through my surroundings."

"Oh!" He said and nodded in understanding.

When we reached the estate, we got off the truck and Twilight gave the keys to the truck to the valet. Twilight seemed nervous so I intertwined my fingers with his.

"Hey! You have me this time," I told him. I rubbed his back in a comforting manner. He looked at me and nodded with a nervous smile.

Taking the lead, I started to walk towards the main entrance and Twilight walked a little behind me. I want to know what traumatized him so much that he is this nervous to go to an event.
When we reached in front of the entrance, the guard nodded in Twilight's way.

"Good evening young master and miss," the guard greeted.

"Good evening," we said in unison. The guard gestured for us to go inside and so we did.

As soon as we entered the place, there was a huge elegant staircase that we had to descend to. The place looked no different from a palace. So this is what Harris estate is like. Huge and elegant.

No, the scene was nothing like those fairy tales where everyone's eyes would fall on us. It was pretty normal as people continued to chatter with each other.
But I could feel Twilight's hand sweating due to the nervousness. So I pulled him closer to me and gave him a reassuring smile.

Though I could feel someone staring at me so I scanned around the area and saw a pair of amethyst eyes looking at me with an unreadable emotion.

Vinter...

He gave me a wide grin and sipped his drink. He placed his drink on the counter and shoved his hands inside his pocket as he walked up to me. Unlike Twilight, Vinter's entire suit was black. A black fitted three-piece suit. His eyes were looking as tired as ever, but he sure was looking very handsome. I could feel goosebumps when he gave me that look.

I didn't realize my grip on mine and Twilight's intertwined fingers was losing until Twilight tightened his grip. I looked at Twilight and came out of my trance.

"Fuck this soulmate bond," I cursed under my breath.

"You okay?" Twilight asked. I nodded with a small smile.

"Well... don't you look handsome, baby brother," I heard Vinter's voice. Both of us looked at Vinter.

"And you always look handsome, Vin," Twilight complimented his brother. Vinter's eyes fell on me as he quickly scanned me from head to toe and then smirked.

"What is it, Harris?" I asked tilting my head.

"Later..." he said. "Twilight your mom was searching for you earlier. You two should go and meet her."

"Okay," Twilight said and he pulled me with him. I stared at my boyfriend in confusion.

"What happened?" I asked as Twilight slowed down a bit seeing that Vinter was out of sight.

"Nothing," he replied. His eyes weren't meeting mine. I smirked.

"Are you jealous?" I asked. He looked down and nodded.

"You two look good together-"

"And we look perfect together... not just good," I put my arms around his neck pulling him closer. "You belong to me now, Twilight Harris and I belong only to you."

He pressed his forehead against mine and leaned in for a kiss. But we heard someone clearing their throat so I pulled away. I looked at the person who interrupted our moment with a blank face.

"Mom!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Honey, you are late," his mother said. Sophia Adams, Twilight Harris' mother and Oliver Harris' mistress.

"It was my fault, Miss Adams. My mother and sister went to Australia today so I had to drop them at the airport. Twilight was kind enough to lend me a hand and drive them to the airport since I don't possess an automobile of my own," I smoothly lied. "I am sorry about the delay."

Sophia eyed me for a minute with a confused expression.

"And you are?" She asked.

"I'm Dove Stanley. Twilight's girlfriend," I extended my hand as she gasped and shook my hand.

"Dove Stanley... you are the genius lyricist everyone talks about? And also, you are Vinter's soulmate?" She asked. I chuckled.

"That would be me," I replied. Twilight was oddly very silent as he listened to our conversation.

"Why are you dating my son when you already have a soulmate?" She asked.

"I never planned to date Vinter. We both just don't fit in. But with Twilight it's different, he shows me the innocence and kindness which still exists in this world," I said. "Miss Adams, I know you must be aware of it already that your son is a gem."

She smiled. "Of course, I'm aware of that."

Twilight wrapped his arm around my waist as he looked at me and smiled, which I returned.

"So Dove, your father. I saw on the news what happened to Theodore Stanley. Is everything okay with your family?" Sophia asked.

"Yes, everything is good. I'm taking care of what all is going on and keeping a check on it," I spoke as my eyes lingered on a very familiar-looking figure.

"I'm sorry. I need to use the restroom," I excused myself.

"You want me to show you the way?" Twilight asked.

"No bunny, I'll be fine," I said and looked at Sophia. "It was a pleasure meeting you, ma'am."

"Please call me Sophia and yes, it was very nice meeting you too, Dove," she said. I smiled and took my leave.

I followed the person who looked very familiar and he went towards the back door. I followed him through the door.

"Curiosity killed the cat, Chaos," I heard a very familiar voice say.

"Levy... why are you here?" I asked the man who was of course in disguise as a waiter. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Oh... Oliver Harris," I said.

"You shouldn't have followed me here, baby. If anyone from the party suspects-"

"Vinter already knows everything, thanks to you and, Twilight is too oblivious about everything. So chill, nothing is going to happen," I said.

"Though, I don't understand. Lucifer has so many intels, why does he send you guys to spy personally?" I asked.

"Intels cannot be trusted."

"And you can be?"

"What are you implying, Chaos?" Leviathan asked. I shrugged.

"Nothing," I smirked.

"So found any new lead?" I asked.

"I'm not telling you that," he said.

"So you haven't found any," I said with a cheeky grin. Leviathan sighed.

"Stop trying to annoy me, it's not working and go back in," he ordered. I rolled my eyes but obliged to what he said.

"Fine. But you are telling me everything after the event ends," I said.

"Just go back inside already, baby," he gestured for me to get lost. I fake cried and went inside again.

While searching for my boyfriend, I bumped into a strange-looking man who was wearing a laced blindfold.

"Sorry," I mumbled. He has snow-white hair that covers his forehead and a big horizontal scar on his face. Even though his injury seemed many years old, it was still visible due to how badly it was stitched.

"Don't mind it," he said, and he left quickly, not giving me another glance. He was quite tall and had pretty tanned skin. Who is this mysterious-looking man?

I heard people cackling as so my attention got diverted to the noises which were coming from a different direction.

I saw a flustered Twilight surrounded by a group of older men. I raised my eyebrows at what was going on.
I walked towards the group and pulled Twilight away from them.

"Who are these people?" I asked Twilight.

"My father's business friends," he replied.

"The illegitimate child got a girlfriend?" One of the men spoke. I smirked.

"Well he did manage to get a girlfriend unlike you who is probably divorced... couldn't even take care of one woman, huh?" I retorted back. The group went silent.

"Ho-how did you know?" He asked. My smirk grew into a grin.

"So my prediction was right... aw! You poor man!" I cooed. The man now was fuming in anger.

"Let's go, bunny," I dragged Twilight with me. I felt like someone was approaching me from behind, but before I could react Twilight covered me as I was pressed against his chest and I could hear the glass shattering from behind him.
Twilight hissed in pain as my eyes widened in horror.

"Bunny..." I touched his face. He seemed like he was really in a lot of pain. I pushed myself away from him and saw what happened behind him.

There were broken pieces of glass on the floor. My first instinct was to check Twilight's head to see if he was in the head. Luckily he wasn't.

"Bunny! Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. It was his back that was hit by a glass and Luckily cause of his suit, the glass couldn't hurt him that bad.

"Ye-yeah, I am fine. Are you okay?" He asked.

"You shouldn't have covered me you, idiot. Look! Now you are hurt!" I yelled at him as I dragged him towards the counter and made him sit on the chair there.
Vinter quickly came to the aid as soon as he noticed what happened.

"Twilight are you okay?" He asked. My boyfriend nodded.

Those sick men! They are going to get a taste of their own medicine. I cynical grin appeared on my face as a very evil plan appeared in my head.

"No one should ever dare to touch the people I love~"
