Karina has been looking at herself in the mirror for nearly two hours as the makeup artist and hairstylist worked their magic on her and she knew as soon as they were done with their job, it was time for her to put on her dress, which required two people’s help since it was so large and had many intricate designs and embroidery on them.
Once she was done, she stared at herself in a full-length mirror and was speechless by how different she looked from her normal, casual self. She did not even know that side of her existed and was possible to channel out.

"A married couple are well-suited when both partners usually feel the need for a quarrel at the same time."-Jean Rostand-***“Tell me, Karina, who were you before you came to me?” He asked as they were driving to the town. He hated complete silence and the music was not helping either. Eden thought it was a great opportunity to get her talking so he could understand her better.“Why do you want to know? I thought you said you knew everything about me. Also, I didn’t come to you, you kidnapped me.” She protested.“Yes, I do, from an external perspective, but I couldn’t get down to the very detail, you know. About your hobby, what you like, dislike, the things you’re passionate about. I could easily hack into your browser history to find out but I would rather discover it directly from you.” He reasoned.“Just who are you exactly, Eden? Are you in the mafia
