Party on the First Night

Vikram POV

All the girls were dressed in colourful clothes of different colours. There was glitter and sparkles everywhere. Pia was running around meeting the girls. I was standing in the balcony observing.

Tanya had been sent to her house. She would come back the following day as the Duke's daughter. As I explained to her the reason of eliminating her, she had become as red as angry bull.

"Bhai, aren't you coming down? You have to make the announcement about taking seven girls with us to Illea for E's wedding. Ahren already sent me the tickets for us and seven girls. Do you have the list of girls?"

Yes Jai. I do. I am thinking about taking the girls based on their interview.

"Okay sure. Pia helped you right?"

I am coming down. I will make the announcement in the end of the party.

Piyali's POV

My maids had stuffed me into a black and red saree. I have to say I sizzled.

Focus Piyali focus. You are here to help the prince.

" Piyali, did you see Vikram?"

No Cassie, is someone falling in love? I jabbed Cassie.

"No Piyali. Just shut up. Oh and did you hear Simara the actress was sent home."

Wasn't she the one who planned her life with the prince?

"Yeah she is. Apparently she was very suggestive during her interview. I hope I get selected to go to Illea."

Illea?

Effie's POV

Ouch, my back is itching because of the sequins on my gown. Couldn't we wear cotton dresses?

"Miss, could I have this dance?"

A honey brown eyes stared into my eyes. It was my ex-boyfriend Allen. He had dumped me like hot potatoes years ago.

"I am sorry Eff. I had my reasons for leaving you."

What were they? I replied coldly.

"It can't be revealed here. Give me your room number I will come tonight."

As soon as I gave the number he swooped me into a dance and left.

What did Allen want to say?

Rochelle's POV

"Ma'am would you like some cream buns?"

I quickly grabbed it. After all who knows how long would these luxuries last.

I spied Vikram asking Cassandra for a dance. As I thought about Cassie I remembered her last words ages ago

"I hate you Jan. You broke my tru..."

Tears came into my eyes. This was the last time I spoke to my twin sister Cassandra Shells. The hatred in her eyes on that day had destroyed me. She did not know I was here after all she had become very close with Piyali. She deserved a good life. I had destroyed her previous life. I had changed my name and everything and now we were together aagain. One knowing and other not.

The lights went out. Then came a spotlight. There was the prince.

" Welcome all daughters of Indiana. I, Prince Vikram would like to thank you all for leaving behind your old life to build a new one here. Now I am going to announce the names of the seven girls accompanying my family to Illea for the royal wedding. Rest of you shall be taken care of by Sweta. The girls going are

Miss Rochelle Janet Rose

Miss Piyali Sighania

Miss Amita Nisha Marar

Miss Aria Kylie McAllister

Miss Violet Marina Shine

squeals could be heard everywhere. Cassie's lips were trembling. Why wasn't she selected?

and lastly Miss Cassandra Shells.

Thank you all. This is the list for this time. It may different set of girls next time. Good night and selected girls pack up we will be leaving in a week's time. Thank You and Good night."

Oh no. How am I going to face Cassie. I could see her hugging Piyali and jumping around. What is she going to say when she sees me. AAAAAAAAAAAAH
