Dad was an hour away from picking me up.I was done with make up,hair and dress shopping.All I had to do was to wear the fucking dress from now!

I called in the nanny when I had a zipper problem but dad walked in."Thanks."He looked at me up and down as he saw something."You look so beautiful,bellissima."

I was wearing a simple dress,to be honest.

I stepped forward and gave him a simple hug as I laid my head on his chest

I stepped forward and gave him a simple hug as I laid my head on his chest.This man might be 51 but this guy is still taller than me.He doesn't even look 51!He looks as if he's 40!!!

He hugged me back and stroked my hair."I hope you won't regret your plan."I nodded."I hope not."He broke it off and offered me his arm.I took it with pleasure and left after saying goodbye to the kids.

We were in the car,making the last arrangements of my plan with my dad.Bianca called me about five minutes after I got in the car."Where are you?"

"I am on earth."

"Raven...Where are you?"

"I am in the US."

"Raven you are pushing my limits!Where are you?!"

"I am in Los Angeles!"

"RAVEN!"

"Ok,fine. I'm on my way to the ball.Why?"

"Sorin came about ten minutes ago.He always comes after making sure every one ing his guests are here!You know that!"

I do know that.Some exceptions were made in the past but that is how it has been.I looked my dad in the eyes.

"La Luna Vitales don't come early,sweetheart.We're the real deal.I'll be there in a while.Don't stress yourself.Bye."

I hung up on her and then I looked at dad once again."You are really grasping the idea of our family and our name. I'm really proud of you,Maria."I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Thanks,dad."

He got me under his arm and didn't let go until we came to the hotel."Do you want me to come with you?"I looked outside to the shocked paparazzi."I wouldn't mind if you did."

Then that shy-ish girl faded away.Dad got out of the car before I did.I got out of that car with a straight and irritating look."Shall we,Maria?"I turned to him."Why the fuck not?"

We walked into the hotel and then into the ball room.The entire room was captivated by a deafening silence.I smirked with the reaction I got.

Each time I come to this shit,I become more powerful.We settled at a bistro table.Bianca came rushing over."That was crazy."I sighed."Bianca,my father.Father,my friend from rehab,Bianca."

When Bianca reached to shake his hand,dad walked away to the bar."He does that.Anyways,I need a drink!Let's get some whiskey."

"Sure."We got one of the bus boys to bring us our drinks.Later on,right after our drinks came,I saw Sorin walk back into the ball room.Probably coming back from his visit to Ben and Bea.
