Walking forward, she realized someone grabbed her arm and she started shouting when she was startled.
'Help! Help! Someone!" she yelled with full force until she felt a big and warm hand covering her mouth as she was unable to speak. Her eyes wide open and her heart beating fast until she realized the man was none other than...

Black Lace 33. DOUBLE STANDARDS.
She never shows much of what she holds inside. All the tears lining her heart like cracks on a wall. Treating everyone she meets with kindness. Her face wearing a smile that fools them all. Deep inside of her lives a story. One of disappointment and regret. The words line her veins with all her pain. Of all the dreams that have slipped away through time. She wears a locket around her neck. It holds pictures of a life she would love to live. She never opens it, but she keeps it there.Like a wish that she never whispers, even so, herself, so many dreams, so many desires. And yet so much fear, hiding deep behind her smile. A locket filled with hopes of life, filled with love. A dream to open it and share it with the world.Christian was lost in his thoughts until Amelia interrupted him saying, "What is it?""Nothing." he shook his head. The dance was finished when Stig and Spikes were talking because of Hope and Amelia. They, but pretended not to know each o

I have a thought..." Hope who seemed to lost deep in thoughts turned her face towards Amelia who was laying on the bed."What is it?" she asked attentively."What if both of them are fooling us around..." Hope said fascinated."See, they kept on wearing the masks and never took it off. What are they trying to hide?" and she somewhat made a point."Next time they are meeting us, I'm asking them to remove the mask. And if not I will force them. Otherwise, we are not meeting again," Hope was babbling while Amelia kept on thinking."We'll see..." she replied.Next day when she was taken to Van Dough, he shouted on her."Where did you run away?" he asked in vexation."I
