"Lucius!" a woman stood in front of him with her red hot eyes glaring at him. She wanted to kill him. But before that, she wanted to get rid of this girl. "Come with me." she spoke in a low voice. But Lucius knew it was anything but calm.
He hesitated for a second and looked at Elara. Elara had a disdainful smile on her face. As if she was whispering, "see! I knew that you were a coward. That is why I have asked you to leave in the first place." it made his blood boil. Suddenly, he felt everyone was looking at him with a mocking gaze.
"Mariane! It is just a dance. You can also dance with others." he spoke gently as he smiled at Mariane. But the girl only sneered. She glared hard at Elara before enveloping his hand and pulling it away from her shoulders.
"I do not want a scene, Lucius. You are coming with me." she demanded in a dominant voice.
