Chapter 1 1

Xena couldn't believe her ears as she stood in front of her Dad looking directly at him.

"So, what you mean is you were gone for weeks without notice, to go get a partnership with some junky rich man?" she half yelled.

"To get back our rightful property Xena" his voice was relaxed.

"Oh my God dad!" she caressed her forehead in frustration, her body still shaking from the initial shock. "Take a look around you, does this look right to you?" gesturing to the mansion they were standing in.

She still couldn't get over the shock of being half dragged from her workplace by strange able-bodied men to a strange location.

"And even if you wanted to go on with your stupid deal, you should have given I and mom a heads up first"

"If I had informed you two, you wouldn't have come-"

"And you wonder why?" Xena interrupted asking rhetorically.

Xena's father walked over to one of the massive sofas in the living room and sat down. She hadn't heard the worst part and she was already pulling her hair.

"Speaking of mom, where is she?" she folded her arms. "I bet they'll bundle her the way they bundled me right?"

"She'll be here any moment" he took out his buzzing phone from the inner pocket of his suit.

Xena couldn't help but stare, she couldn't believe how much her dad had changed in just a couple of weeks. He looked very polished and his aura felt different from what she used to know.

"Oh my god Xena dear" her mom rushed in, fear and worry written all over her face. Two body guards behind her.

Xena ran into her embrace but it was cut short when her mom sighted her dad.

"I knew you would still go on with this stupid idea even after we talked about it"

Xena's dad didn't reply, he just walked to an adjoining room to receive a call.

"You knew about this all along?"

"I tried talking him out of this but he wouldn't budge, believe me I tried" her voice was shaky. Xena looked at her mom's face. She looked...terrified.

What exactly was going on?

****

Xena was in her room trying to see if she could do some work on her laptop. Luckily she was able to carry her laptop with her while she was practically dragged out of her office.

She knew it was useless. They were just as good as billionaires, she didn't need the money.

There was a knock on her door.

She ignored it. She knew it was her mom who had been trying to talk to her without actually explaining what was going on.

The knock came again

"Urgh" she groaned as she went to the door and opened it.

"What now mo..." there was a hefty man in a suit at the door.

"Mr Hayes asked me to accompany you to the boutique" he spoke quickly

"But I don't need to go to the boutique, he already stocked up my wardrobe" Xena was looking up at him, his height was intimidating.

"He said you need to buy a dress" More of authority in his voice.

Xena couldn't object this time "o-kay, give me a minute" she went back inside and closed the door not knowing what to think.

She changed her clothes and headed out. The hefty man was the driver. The car smelt like it was just pulled out of the factory; fresh and new, it was intoxicating.

"Where are we headed?" She asked, to fill in the silence

No answer

"I'm guessing you're not to speak then" she said then turned to the window admiring the beautiful landscapes of the street. This was very different from the life she was used to.

They arrived at the boutique. She had never been to such a fancy boutique before, she had always done her clothes shopping at the mall. The atmosphere spelt luxury, one mind said finally she could afford everything she wanted. The other didn't want to accept reality.

She was in the dresses aisle indecisive of what to choose as there were so many options. Her driver was waiting at a far corner where he could watch over her directly.

"You would look really good in blue"

"You think?" She picked out a long blue off shoulder with a long slit at the right. She went to the mirror in front of the testing room and looked at it a little before entering to test the dress.

She came out carefully, watching her steps so she won't step on the dress and ruin it.

"Now that, is a damsel"

She looked up to the owner of the voice, she couldn't help but blush. It's not everyday you see a good looking man compliment you in a boutique.

"Thanks" she said, hoping he wouldn't notice the red on her cheeks.

She went back to face the mirror "I really do look good" she paused admiring herself "I guess blue must be my col-" she turned around but he was gone.

She just shrugged, picked out a few other things, the driver paid and they left.

She couldn't stop thinking of the male Cinderella she had met at the mall when she got back home. The way he looked at her showed genuineness in his complement.

A knock on her door disrupted her thoughts. She opened the door, it was her mom.

"Xena dear, how are you doing?" her mom asked when Xena had let her in.

"I'm fine mom" she replied reluctantly "You don't always have to check up on me, I'm a grown woman you know"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry" her mom apologised immediately. They were both now sitting on Xena's bed.

"I heard your dad asked you to get a dress"

"Yes, he did"

Her mom looked away. Visible worry on her face.

"Mom, do you have any idea why?" she asked, trying to peer into her mom's face.

"Um..not really, all I know is our presence will be needed at a gathering later this week" Xena knew she could ask no more questions as her mom knew no more or would rather not say more.

Xena was upstairs in her room that evening going through her social media pages when she heard a commotion downstairs.

She walked down the stairs gently, so as to not announce her presence. She got to the bottom of the stairs and halted in her tracks.

"And there she is," Her father announced.

The most icy set of blue eyes turned to meet hers.
