the ball
Luna Pov
I had been contacted a while ago. A new customer wanted me to customize his house, and another offer was to renovate a castle that was deep in the woods, and I have been sent photos of both sites.
Well, it is my 100th project, so I want to go with something magnificent, and therefore I decided to go for the castle project.
I contacted the brothers through the mail; don't ask me how I knew the brothers contacted me, as they were very famous in the business field.
They asked me to talk at the gala about the project details, and for the hell's sake, it was today, I had totally forgotten about it.
So I rushed to my friend's office to look for a perfect dress for the gala in this short amount of time I had after remembering something I shouldn't have forgotten in the first place, and I rushed to her office looking like I just fought a war with a gorilla.
But it was very important, so I didn't have time to freshen myself up and look a bit decent. She was a bit busy with a few of her clients, but I would be guilty about interrupting her later.
Luna- red alert, right now.
With that, she left the clients, saying it was an important work that came up and the meeting would be rescheduled, and she would make it up to them.
Rave- okay what's the matter now?
Luna- well, nothing much. I have to attend a gala and have nothing to wear.
Rave- when is it?
Luna- tonight.
Rave- Tonight! What will I do with you? Come on, follow me.
We left the conference room and went towards her vault. She entered the passcode. The vault opened, and we went towards the third floor. We skimmed through the dresses to look for the one that caught our eye, yet none called out for me.
Rave- Okay, at what time does the gala start?
Luna- 10, o'clock.
Rave- so we need to speed up.
Luna- but I find no dress that calls out for me.
Rave- I guess then I have to take out the dress that I was saving for you.
Luna- you were saving a dress for me.
Rave- yes, a full series at that.
Luna- I knew that you loved me.
Rave- okay, now shut up.
Luna- ohhh, I love you too.
Then she picked a dress that was in a bag and then shoved me towards the changing room. As soon as I opened the bag, I fell in love with the dress.
It was a beautiful cream dress with off-the-shoulder, and it was heart-shaped and had a beautiful lace covering on the top of the whole dress, a
I took the dress off the hanger and wore it. I glanced down at the gown flowing around me, and for a moment, it felt as though I wasn’t just wearing fabric—I was wrapped in light itself.
The ivory silk shimmered with every step I took, catching the glow of the chandeliers and turning me into something ethereal. The lace flowers stitched across the bodice seemed to bloom against my skin, delicate yet bold, drawing attention to the curve of my waist and the gentle rise of my shoulders.

Luna- how's it?
Rave- you like a queen, come on, follow me. So we can complete the look.
We browsed through shoes and jewelry.
As I fastened the tiara into my hair, I felt the weight of it settle like a crown—not heavy, but commanding. The diamonds caught the light in delicate arcs, and the pearls nestled between them seemed to glow against the black strands of my hair, making the color shine brighter and more vivid.
The earrings brushed against my neck with every movement, their pearls and diamonds swaying like drops of starlight. They framed my face, drawing attention to my eyes, and I could feel how they elongated my posture, making me stand taller, more regal.
When I clasped the necklace, its vines of platinum and pink sapphires curved perfectly along my collarbone. The sapphires mirrored the hue of my hair, tying the entire look together, while the pearls softened the brilliance, giving me an aura of grace. It was as if the necklace whispered to the gown’s embroidery, completing the story the dress had already begun.
On my wrist, the slim diamond bracelet shimmered with quiet elegance, and the ring—its pink sapphire surrounded by diamonds—felt like a secret jewel meant only for me. Together, they added refinement without stealing the gown’s radiance.
Looking at myself, I realized the jewelry didn’t just decorate me—it crowned me. Every piece amplified my presence, making me appear not just beautiful, but sovereign. I wasn’t simply a guest at this ball; I was the vision everyone’s eyes would follow, the figure they would remember long after the music faded.
Rave walked towards me with red heels in one hand. She held her phone to her ear with her shoulder. Just as her eyes set on me, she whispered talk to you later on the phone and her mouth fell open, looking at me.
Rave- you are looking beautiful.
She passed me the heels, and I wore them. Now what was left was hair and makeup. In a few moments, a makeup artist came with a rolling suitcase with her. She told me to take a seat near the vanity table, and she worked on me for 2 hours non-stop.
We had small talks throughout the whole process, and when she was done with me, I was stunned to see myself in the mirror.
I felt like a goddess was staring back at me. She had my black hair with red and purple tips curled down, and down my back; my eyes were done in a smoky style. She painted my lips in a beautiful scarlet color.
I was ready for the gala.
I thanked both the make-up artist and my dear friend Rave and promised to pay her back for this big favor, but she waved it off like it was nothing.
I left for the destination, and my driver was already there with my Rolls-Royce. We left, and we reached there while I was still editing a few documents.
The car door was opened for me, and the reporters had the lights flashing in my face. I posed for a few photos and then entered the place with my head held high.
I found a seat and then drafted the contract and edited it until I was happy with it.
I had a few drinks and waited for my client, but I saw my old client walking towards me.
Jack- Hey, Luna.
Luna- Hey, Jack, what did I do to earn this pleasure of meeting you again after a long time?
Jack- Well, I wanted you to build a house for my grandchildren.
Luna- you know it is high time, and everyone is busy, I am already working on a project.
Jack- when are you free? Get me an appointment, please?
Luna- well you can contact my assistant, and they will assign my co-manager to this project.
Jack- Alright then.
Luna- you know my company workers are the best at what they do, and because of that, I am where I am.
Jack- yes, I know that and thank you.
Luna- you're welcome.
Jack- well you are looking like a vision. Can I introduce my grandson to you? You both will look beautiful together.
Luna- well thank you, but you know how I am not interested in marriage or any commitment for now.
With that, he was off to talk to other people. He was one of those social people who loved these events. I called my assistant to inform her about Jack, and I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I twisted to see who it was. It was the brothers. I got up and extended my hand to shake their hands.
Luna- it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Luna.
Jacob- pleasure is all ours, my name is jacob and this is my brother jk.
Luna- So, would you like to discuss the project here or somewhere else?
Jk- please follow us, I think it is best if we do it somewhere quiet and more private.
I followed them, and we went to the upper level of the mansion. And found myself standing before a really magnificent work of art
This is the image of the dress.
I hope you like this, and let me know your thoughts.
