Chapter 1:

Erza sipped her white wine from a crystal wine glass as she casted an idle glance at the other people In the room. The men looked refined in black dinner suits, white dress shirts and black bow ties while the women were dressed in designer gowns of various colours.

The evening's occasion was a simple dinner party for ten guests held in the beautiful home of their hosts Mr and Mrs Mikazuchi. "another drink, Erza?", she felt the clapse of Simon's arm along the back of her waist. The fond glance of his parents, his sister Kagura and her own parents merely served to declare their approval.

Erza's pov

Did they think I wasn't aware of their matchmaking attempts as of late . It was too much of a coincidence that Simon just had to be a fellow guest at all the social events I'd attended in the past four weeks. Marriage wasn't apart of my plans right now nor was I willing to marry someone i don't love besides with the annuity I gets from my maternal grandmother, my life is going great. At twenty-six, I had my own apartment, ran a successful art gallery in partnership with a friend and I had no intention of adding a man into it.

I really had nothing against Simon but I only saw him as a friend and I didn't want to hurt him by pretending I was interested in him. "thanks, but I think I'm okay", I answered him with a polite smile. As I looked to the side I noticed Simon's mother spare a glance at her wristwatch and I became curious about who would dare come late to a Mikazuchi soiree?. As I was so deep in thought I hardly didn't notice when Kagura had Walked up to us Until I heard her say, "mother is getting a little anxious don't you think Simon?".

"I don't know but Jellal warned he might be unavoidably late". My curiosity rose and I asked,"Jellal? ". Simon gave me an amused look," Jellal Fernandez, he's of Spanish origin, he's the CEO of Fernandez corps, the biggest electronics company. It's based in Barcelona, Japan, America, Paris and London but right now he's staying at a penthouse in Magnolia.

"The man is a consummate strategist, word has it he's about to close a really big deal so instead of flying to Barcelona, he's chosen to negotiate from Magnolia ", Kagura added with a smirk.

I was actually impressed, I kept summoning a mental image of a short balding middle-aged man with a stylish younger wife.

" Erza, umm... We have two more hours to dine and socialist, so.. I was wondering if maybe afterwards you would like to go out for just a little while or if you're tired I could drop you off at home? ", Simon said sheepishly. I was trying to figure out a nice and subtle way of letting him down easy, I was at the point of telling him when some sixth sense alerted my attention, curious I lifted my head and felt the breath catch in my throat.
