The cursed fae prince;Fated to die

In the early hours of the night, the party had just begun. The hall was ablaze with bright and sparkling lights, the chandeliers hanging above casting a soft, elegant glow. The atmosphere was crowded with people, their chatter and laughter creating a lively hum that filled the room. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol, a testament to the diverse dignitaries in attendance. This was no ordinary party; it was a grand event with limited access.

Las Vegas was a city that played host to a mix of humans and supernaturals, a unique blend of beings. Zeriel, a man with a purpose, was on a mission. "Logan, keep your eyes open for Mr. Douglas; we have to get him on our side," he said, sipping a glass of champagne. He and Logan made their way through the crowd.

As they navigated the hall, a young lady accidentally bumped into Zeriel, spilling her drink on his exquisite, limited edition suit. "S-sorry," she stammered, her eyes locking onto him, momentarily speechless. Zeriel took a step back, and before she could touch his stained suit, he walked away in search of a restroom to clean up.

Finally he caught a glimpse of it by the corner from the alley. He storms into the male restroom angrily. "What a clumsy little thing" he muttered to himself. The lady had been silently walking behind him all the way from the party hall hoping to apologise properly to the young man. She immediately halted and stops at the door as she realises he just walked into the 'Gents' restroom it was not convenient for her to walk inside so she waited for him to come out,"I could pay for the damages" she said sounding awkwardly as he walks out of the door.

"Stay away", A deep husky cold voice sounded harshly in her ears. "Sir it was really an accident I didn't mean …" he gives her a cold yet warning look before she could finish her words. "Back off", He said, at this point Logan walks towards him but he storms out on getting to the exit he turns to logan."Stay back and complete the deal" he said to Logan.

"Aye sir" he chuckled as he watched Zeriel vanish from his sight.

Logan, amused, approached the young lady. "Be mindful of your steps next time," he advised before departing.

Alisha, relieved but intrigued by the mysterious stranger's behavior, asked Logan, "Is he always like that?"

Logan, not giving away much, replied, "Sometimes," and excused himself as he spotted another lady approaching.

"Are you okay Alisha?" Maddie asked as she fondly liked to call her name. "Okay?, infact I almost got into trouble" she replied as they both walked back into the hall.

"Trouble? I saw you talking to that cute guy. Who is he?" She asked, smiling mischievously.

"I just met him,I bumped into his friend earlier and spilled my drink on him accidentally".

"I told you to wait for me, why did you run off?" Maddie asked her, looking at her suspiciously.

"Hey don't give me that look, did you expect me to watch you tease the guy you met not long ago? you never cease to amaze me" she said rolling her eyes.

"I hope you got the contact of the guy, he's so hot gosh" said maddie smiling lustfully.

"Speaking of hotness, you would have melted if you met the guy I bump into earlier, he's so...." Alisha paused absurdly.

"So what?? Why are you dazing?" Maddie looked at Alisha with inquisitiveness,Alisha snapped out and continued, "I.. I can't find a perfect word to describe him, I was lost in his sight too.

He has chiseled jaws and masculine face with dark hair, gray eyes and pointed nose. She said fantasizing "His body is well built with nice muscles and broad shoulders, I've never lusted in such sight to behold." She was lustfully describing the handsome stranger She knew she could never forget such a handsome guy, but his behavior was not so attractive.

"Cut it out" Maddie said as she snaps her two fingers in front of Alisha's face. She knew that her friend hardly fancies a guy,but for her to be drooling over this stranger it meant he was indeed as handsome as she described. "If he's more handsome than his friend cute friend I just saw to talking to then I think he's dashingly beautiful and super hot" she was already imagining the strangers looks.

"Let's go meet his friend," Maddie said, dragging Alisha by the wrist.

"Hell no" Alisha drags Maddie back, "don't start the guy has quite a temper. I don't think I'd like to meet him again, his voice sends shivers down my spine, and he looks dangerous". She said warning Maddie.

"I don't believe it" Maddie replied and Chuckles, she continued "with money there's no guy I can't get if I'm determined".

Alisha laughed "Not this one maddie definitely not these" she said as they walked to find a place to sit.

Logan was on a phone call while leaving the party around midnight he made his way toward the parking space, he stops in front of his car and leans his body beside his black flashy car to continue his conversation on the phone.

"Don't worry I've sealed the deal just as it should be, Mr Douglas has agreed to sell his shares to us. We'll discuss the details and make a meticulous plan when I get home". He assured the caller over the phone.

Logan got into the car and starts the engine holding the phone close to his left ear "I'll be home soon", he said lastly before hanging up,Looking at the side mirror he slowly revised the car,driving out of the garage,he suddenly jerked back after hitting the brake pad absurdly due to what he saw.

"What the fuck, Watch where you're going". He said to the two ladies who stood in his way. He was lucky the car light were on,else it would have resulted to an accident.The ladies seem drunk to him. He signed touching his forehead. Maddie escapes from the Alisha's grip and runs over to the car.

She hits both hands on the bumper of his car. Logan was phased by the scene before him,he watched as she gradually heads towards the driver's side.

"Get out of my car this instant, you thief" the lady ordered in her drunken state. Logan chuckles at the unbelievable thing he just heard. He remained silent,thinking of ways to handle the situation.

Alisha rushed to rushed towards her friend to drag Maddie off the car but she struggled off her grip. "I'm sorry" Alisha whispered to Logan who was still inside his car. He gently winds down his glass.

"I'm in a hurry, please get her out of my car. He takes a closer look at Alisha recognising her he points towards her asking, "aren't you the girl from earlier?".

"Yeah," Alisha admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed. She tucks her hair behind her ears trying to avoid his eyes,while holding on to Maddie with the her left hand. "I'm so sorry my friend is just tipsy. She said still trying to get Maddie off his car, Maddie on the other hand didn't seem to let go nor want to leave.

"She's beyond tipsy but wasted," Logan said, groaning. Do you girls have a thing with bumping into people? He asked curiously.

"Get out of my car" maddie repeated this time she started dragging the door handle, she gags and tries to throw up. Alisha catching on what was about to happen she quickly yanked Maddie's hands off the car to avoid her throwing up.

Immediately Logan noticed she let go he turned to Alisha "Hold her tight," Logan ordered and drove off immediately, "So lousy" he muttered shaking his head.

"Don't do this here", Alisha shouted, finally gathering the strength to drag her off as they both headed towards Maddie's ride. "I told you not to drink much, you kept saying you're not drunk, you just made me look embarrassed in front of that guy, wait till you find out how you embarrassed yourself when you're sober".

She threatened Maddie who wasn't even listening to her. She opens the car back door and lays Maddie at the back seat then enters the car. "Let's crash at my place", she said looking back at her friend who was already sleeping peacefully at the back seat. She turned on the car and drove off.
