Chapter Twenty Nine

THIRD PERSON’S P.O.V

“What’s the update?” The masked person asked as he sensed the other person comes up behind him,

“The rogues got killed, I saw them whisk Caleb away” The informant replied.

“So it’s safe to assume that he sang, yes?”

“Yes boss”

The masked man nodded, “Alright, we’ll be expecting them, you know what to do I suppose?”

“Yes Sir” the informant answered.

“Good, you may leave” he dismissed him.

‘Seems like things will be easier than I thought’ he muttered to himself.

VALERIA’S P.O.V

"Get up girl, we need to go shopping," Stef said as he burst into my room. I was currently watching a movie on Netflix while munching on popcorn and ice cream, Netflix, and chills y’know.

“Stef why do we need to go shopping? We have enough clothes to sustain us during our stay here?” I asked with a mouth full of ice cream which made it seems like I was saying gibberish.

"Bitch what are you saying, we need to get clothes for the party Killian's throwing," He said as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Fuck the party's tomorrow, Stef I have nothing to wear," I said as realization dawned on me.

“Which is why we need to go shopping, get dressed. Meet me downstairs in ten minutes, not a second later” he said and I rolled my eyes at him playfully, he could be such a mother hen.

I put on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt as I hurried downstairs.

"Let's go" I announced as I got downstairs, only to see Stef munching on snacks while pressing his phone, making me look at him questioningly.

“What???” he said with his mouth full.

“Nevermind, let’s just go” I replied, waving my hands.

We got to the town where most fashion houses were and decided to enter Chanel first.

“Hello welcome to Chanel, how may I be of help to you?” a sales rep said as she approached us.

“Hi darling, we need to take a look at the best dresses you have, no exemptions” Stef voiced out before I could even get the chance to say anything.

"Sure of course, right this way please," she said as she led the way.

It had been over two hours of us going through dresses for me and yet Stef had turned down every single dress I tried on, it was either too ugly, or the style didn't go with the color, uggh.

"No, too shiny" He turned down the dress that I was wearing, I was wearing an orange dress and I sort of agreed with him on this one.

“Yeah I agree but I’m getting tired and my feet hurt Stef” I whined.

“Chill babes, one last trial. Hey, you girl, can you come over please?”

The store attendant came to answer his call, “Yes, do you need anything?” she asked with that same smile, it honestly looked fake as fuck.

“Do you have any other dresses we can try on?”

"Yeah, please hold on a moment" she left but returned a while later carrying a silver-colored dress, and it was gorgeous. I don't give two fucks if Stef didn't agree, I was getting this dress.

“OMG, girl this is your dress. Totally” Stef said in amazement as he uncrossed his legs and stood up.

“Try it on, go go go” He pushed me into the changing room.

I came out a while later and I marveled at how I looked.

“Valeria, I know I rarely say this but you look so fucking gorgeous and I’d kiss you if I was straight” He commented and I laughed as the sales attendant blushed a deep red in embarrassment.

“Stef you’re really crazy, but you’re right. I look gorgeous” I said as I looked at myself in the mirror. The silver dress clung to my skin making my skin pop out, the slit on my left thigh made it look more stunning.

“Wrap it up for me, will you?” I told the sales attendant as I looked at her through the mirror.

I stepped out of the dress and changed back into my clothes. We got matching shoes and a mask for the dress before getting Stef's clothes and going back to the pack.

THE NIGHT OF THE BALL.

I was currently doing my make-up, getting ready for the ball. Stef had organized a team of make-up artists, hairdressers, and all to get me ready.

I had gotten a full body massage as well as a full body wax, I was giddy in anticipation for tonight.

Before long, I was done with my make-up and hair and it was time for me to step into my dress.

I put it on before putting on my shoes and I was happy with how I looked, I looked dazzling. The silver shoes and red lips accentuated my appearance and I felt like a goddess.

Just then, Stef entered my room and let out a loud gasp.

“Valeria James, is this really you or your twin because damn, you look fine as fuck, you girls did a great job” he complimented the team and they smiled at him before packing up their stuff.

“Why thank you Stef, you look dashing as well” I smiled as I made a mock courtesy.

“Shall we?” he asked as he offered me his arm.

“We shall, kind sir” I replied as I accepted his arm.

We walk down the stairs before getting into the car together.

The party was held in the pack house and when we got there, the party was already in full swing.

“Stay in the car, I’ll get your door for you” he ordered playfully making me chuckle.

Stepping out of the car, I accepted his extended hand as we walked towards the pack house. Entering into the ballroom, I looked around to see unrecognizable and familiar faces. I guess he really did a good job concerning our plans. I only hoped it’d actually work and we’d be able to get a lead tonight.

Fingers crossed, I could only hope for the best.
