Bellamy looked out the window of her car and sighed. While most would see a crowd of energetic people filing into the largest masquerade of the year and grow excited, she felt burdened. Her last weekend of freedom before her internship, and she had to spend it there. To her, that was a tragedy.
While she loved a good party, feeling like a fish in water amongst the political elite, that was only when the night wasn't a giant ploy, something to feign friendship and build connections with people she had no interest in. Okay, not true, that was every function. Mainly, the person she had no interest in was a man, one her family seemed intent on setting her up with, going so far as to send her to the estate of a political adversary to pursue.
Jared Weston, asshole extraordinaire. For all the benefits he promised her family through a political marriage, the man promised one thing that Bellamy had yet to come to terms with, a miserable future for her personally. She knew him, knew his type, and if she appeared before him tonight, he would accept the offering her family made with a grin. She would become his, at least in his mind, but that was already enough to make her cringe and shiver down to her very core. Disgusting.
How she wished it was just a masquerade, that she could enter through those doors and forget everything for a night. She wanted to charm and be charmed, to find someone that excited her, but there was more to it for her, and that made things miserable.
Bellamy sighed again and gripped the cloth in her hand, staring at the piece of black fabric that would sell her away like a prized possession. She wasn't even surprised, aware of how often such a thing was done in their circle. After all, as smart and ambitious as she was, her parents and grandparents had always seen her younger brother as the future. Bellamy, well, she was just a tool to prepare the way, one meant to scrape together as many advantages as possible to pave the path. The worst part, her brother had no idea, so she couldn't even hate him for it.
"Just wrap it around your neck like you were told and walk in like purchased livestock," Bellamy released a short, contempt-filled laugh, wondering if such a crude analogy would have crossed her lips if others were around. No, it wouldn't; she would merely have tried to avoid the unpleasant night with cleverness and tricky language. Look at where that approach got her.
After a moment, Bellamy shook her head and wrapped the cloth around her arm, trying to convince herself that it could be worse. At least she would likely remain unscathed for the night, considering the owner of the estate the party was being held at was respectable; even though her family loathed the Reigns family and made them mortal enemies, they had a decent enough reputation.
"Alright, go enjoy your night," she said to herself flatly. As if. She couldn't hold back a derisive laugh. She really hated this night...
After tying the cloth around her neck like the suffocating chain it was, Bellamy put on her mask and looked into the mirror in her car, admiring the sight with a heavy heart. At least she was an attractive piece of livestock.
Bellamy's entire ensemble was meant to show off her gorgeous form. Long, white legs that drew the eye up to a shapely ass, followed by a toned form and just enough breast to fill a hand. She fit perfectly into her form-fitting dress, appearing elegant and alluring all at once, something usually attributed to sharp blue eyes and a charming smile. Only, tonight, her eyes appeared dull, and her smile was nowhere to be seen. Instead, milky skin and neatly done hair did the trick, providing a contrast that made one salivate. It all seemed like a curse in the moment.
"What a waste of a beautiful dress," she muttered as she stepped out, adjusting the mask as she did. Her identity was supposed to be hidden, only the cloth meant to make her identifiable. She didn't know how well that actually worked, but she didn't think about it. Instead, Bellamy did her best to look presentable and mysterious before walking her way towards the front door, prepared to blend in with the crowd and buy herself some time by looking as inconspicuous as possible. The longer she could enjoy the party without being seen, the less of a waste the night would be. Oh how hard it would be to play hide and seek with a sociopath when all she ever wanted was to be the center of attention. Alas!
