*~* Roxie didn't know what to expect when she was escorted into the so-called ballroom by Bloom, even the hallways were an embellishment to reflect luxury and glamor and the ballroom wasn't any different. It was the largest room Roxe had ever seen in her entire life. She was in awe of the opulent decor and lavishness that was on display.

Grace and Alessia walked down the grand marble staircase to where the guests were gathered in the vast, luxurious ballroom. The chandeliers overhead sparkled with a soft, golden glow, shining elegant shadows across the room. Classical music filled the air, blending seamlessly with the soft hum of conversation, the clinking of glasses, and the shuffling of feet as couples twirled on the dance floor. Everything felt surreal, almost dreamlike, but there was a dangerous edge beneath the polished surface, a tension Alessia couldn't quite shake.

"She's Andrei Barinov's half sister." "Are the Barinovs here?" I ask. "They're out of town." Larissa's forehead wrinkles slightly. Larissa enters the ballroom and quickly moves toward a guest. I'm left standing alone under the archway decorated with gold and silver balloons. The entire room is loaded with white and gold accents in every corner. Round tables are draped in gold tablecloths and topped with white rose centerpieces.
