    Selene/Camilla's POV The drive from the house to the venue took about 45 minutes. By the time we got there, the hall was already filled with people of different calibre. I didn't know Steve had invited a lot of people like that. Well, that made it more interesting because he was about embarrassing himself in the presence of the whole world. The event kick-started and the MC swung into action. We were called in and as soon as Steve and I stepped into the hall, the well wishes swung to their feet to welcome us. A few selected well wishers were invited to the podium to say the kind of man they perceived Steve to be and they all spoke so highly of him.

I woke up very early that morning, before every other person.I needed some time alone- the time to celebrate my fast approaching victory and freedom.

I allowed the cold morning air to seep into my bones, flapping strands of my hair across my face. I slowly began to move my body- dancing without music as I sip my champagne. Suddenly, I felt someone wrap his arms around me from behind.
