Chapter 86
The evening for the Croey fundraiser had approached too fast but | was okay with that. The thrill and hype that had built up over the days was tremendous and it felt like such a great event to be a part of. The official guestlist for the event had been released to the press and Lucy was more than overjoyed to share it with me. | didn’t mind it at all since it had provided me with an idea of just how grand this was going to be but also prepared me for the people that | was going to rub elbows with.
Hayley was with me throughout the time that | had readied myself and even. pushed back dinner until later since she wanted to be a part of me getting ready. She loved watching apply my make up and even liked to fiddle with my jewelry when | rolled out the case of it.
| was already ninty percent done with my make up all in check, my hair styled just the way | had envisioned it with medium curls all set in place. | kept my hair down. with half behind my left shoulder and some coming over the right side of my face framing it. | slipped on the dress and it was even more gorgeous then when | had. tried it on at the boutique.
“When | grow up, I’m going to wear all your dresses mama.” Hayley vowed as she looked at me in awe and | loved it.
Her approval might seem so small to her but to me it had meant the absolute world. | loved that she had been my biggest cheerleader when | needed it and that she looked up to me even if it was just for fashion and these little moments.
“| will keep all of it for you.” | tapped her nose with my finger and she scrunched her nose but didn’t pull away from me.
I sat on to the cu shioned ottoman in front of the vanity mirror and slid on a pair of silver heels that were so well with the crystal detailing. The neck line was flashy. enough and I didn’t think that | would need a necklace for this dress but | did need some thing for my wrists.
| pulled out the velvet lined Perspex box where | kept my jewelry all neatly organised and placed it on the vanity table. As expected, Hayley leaped on to the chair and began investigating like she hadn't already seen every thing on there.
“So many sparkly things. She commented as she picked up one of the rings and slid it on to her finger but it had just wobbled downwards on her thin finger.
“I'm looking for a bracelet.” | told her and she immediately began to look at the

bracelets that | had.

Her eyes caught on something and | knew that because she made a sound of glee. “Oooh, ooh, this one mama.” She reached for the large sparkly tennis bracelet and handed it over to me.
The second | had taken it from her | realised that it had been the bracelet that Dante had gifted to me when we had went on that week long getaway to Greece. | hadn’t worn it before and a few weeks ago, | had no intention of ever wearing it.
“Put it on. It's so pretty.” Hayley urged as she, too, sat on my vanity table with her legs dangling of the edges.
“| will try it on but | don’t know about it for sure, sweety.” | wrapped it around my wrist and secured the clasp before taking a look at it in the mirror.
Dam mit. It had paired so beautifully with the dress. The diamonds had went well with the crystals on the dress complimenting each other and | hated to admit just how well it had worked together.
“It looks perfect. It’s so shiny.” Hayley voiced her approval and | didn’t have the heart to take it of.
“If you love it so much, I’ll wear it. | think it looks great, too.” | grinned at her and | could see the sheer look of charged energy in her eyes from being surrounded by such girly things.
“Earrings, mama. You don’t have any on.” Hayley pointed out and | thought that a simple stud would be all that | needed.
| looked through the organiser but none of them had caught my eye. After having tried a few of them on, it just looked full in comparison to every thing else not to mention the bracelet pretty much out shined any other piece of jewelry | could possibly thing to have worn.
| heard a knock on my bedroom door and | frowned at Hayley as we both shared a look of surprised and confusion.
“Can | come in?” Dante?
“Dad!” Hayley jumped down from the vanity table and on to the chair giving me small heart attack as she crossed the room to hug Dante.
“Slow down there, little one.” Dante lifted her in his arms and began spinning her around before he stopped.

“How did you get on here! She asked Dante which was exactly what | had been. wondering about.

“Nancy let me in.” He said with a nonchalant shrug. “Nancy also tells me that you didn’t eat dinner yet.” Dante looked at her with a look of disapproval.
“I'm going to eat. | wanted to see mama get ready.” She informed Dante but that had brought the attention to me.
Dante looked at me from where he stood in the door way of my dressing room. | watched his mouth hang open for a few seconds before he closed it but his eyes raked all over me. He looked like the air had been knocked out of him and | resisted the urge to revel in the triumph that | had felt. Not that it was intended but it was appreciated.
Dante looked breath taking himself in all black tuxedo that he wore like a second skin. On him, a well tailored look to a woman was what lingerie had been to the appeal of a man. His hair was nearly style to the back giving a clear view of his cleanly sh aven face which showed of the sharpness of his jaw and the aristocratic shaped nose.
“Woah.” He said to himself but | heard it.
“You cleaned up pretty nice yourself.” | complimented him back but he wasn’t phased because he had still been taking it all in. All of me in.
“Daddy does look nice.” Hayley chimed in before taking a big, loud sniff of her father. “And he smells good too.” She said causing me to chuckle but just a little
bit.
