When Feather's mother left her room, she thought she could have the room for herself. After their recent conversation, she decided to rest the whole day and planned well how she could ta Hawk Monsanto. However, her expectation blew off when she heard a series of knocks on her door again.
"Miss Feather, it's Ami," Her assistant's voice can be heard from the other side of the door.
"Ami, I'm sick and I want to be alone! Didn't I tell you to cancel all my etings for the day?" She lashed out at her.
"Miss I have sothing for you," Ami answered with excitent, not minding Feather's mood. She knew then it would completely change the mont she knew what she brought her.
"For Christ sake Ami, can it not wait for tomorro—"
"It's a gift," Ami cut her knowing she wasn't up for it. She had to divulge the surprise since Feather wasn't giving it a chance, "Probably from your fiance,"
The word fiancee tingled around Feather's ears and her mood changed completely. Her face brightened as she hurried to the door. The door wasn't locked actually, she just couldn't contain her excitent.
"What is it?" She gasped as the door flew open. She saw her assistance with a large mystery box that she instantly grabbed away. She brought the box to her bed and adored its beauty.
"It was beautifully packaged Miss, I wonder what's inside," Ami flashed a more exciting look on it. Hawk's presents for Feather were always thought of and far more valuable than anything she has. They were not only expensive but also very rare, sothing only a person like Hawk Monsanto can have access to.
"The last thing he gave you was jewelry previously owned by a princess," Ami recalled with adoration. "What could it be this ti,"
"I don't know," Feather looked at Ami thrilled. Hawk's previous gift was envied by many of the socialites in their circle and she took pride in it. For sure this new gift was sothing far greater than that. "I'll open it!"
"He must have felt pretty bad about your injury and decided to cheer you up with a gift." God! Hawk Monsanto is a very thoughtful fiancee. You are so lucky Miss," Ami consoled her while Feather was on her way to open the box. "You've done a great job Miss at making him feel guilty,"
"You think so?" Feather felt so relief hearing Ami's words. Then she shifted her focus in opening the gift. It was such a large beautifully ornanted box that she had never seen before. Whoever wrapped it for sure had all the talent for it. When feather untied the ribbon and lifted the covering, what welcod her was a bouquet of white flowers. It was beautifully done that she can't help but adore it. "It's beautiful Ami,"
"Miss isn't that lilies?" Ami's voice faltered a bit as if she was frustrated to see it.
"I'm not sure but they are beautiful. Far more beautifully done than any bouquet's I've seen," Feather continued adoring. The bouquet didn't frustrate her in any way especially because she knew it was only an opening gift, she could still see another small box inside the large gift. "My Hawk surely knew how to please so much? Don't you think? I suddenly like kind of flower already,"
"But Miss didn't you know?"
"Didn't know what?" Feather turned to look at her.
"Miss..in my hotown...lilies are for...for a funeral," Ami almost didn't want to say it.
Feather chilled at what she heard. She put the bouquet down and looked at Ami for a mont as her words brought so kind of uneasiness on her.
Seeing how Feather reacted, Ami quickly withdrew her words, "But that was just for my hotown Miss. Seeing how beautiful these lilies are, I know for sure they aren't the type that is being used for funerals. Besides, it's from President Hawk, right? This must cost a fortune,"
Feather chose not to comnt on that anymore. She was annoyed that Ami ruined the mood but she was more interested in opening the small box than lingering on Ami's hotown stories. She let loose another set of ribbons and opened the box only to be welcod by a much dreadful thing than lilies for a funeral!
"Ahhh!" Feather's screams were all over the place. Even Ami herself got lost for a minute and scread with her.
"O my God!" Ami scread again at the scene of two bloodied rings intertwined together with a scarlet ribbon. "Is that real blood?"
"You told it's from President Hawk. This looks nothing like any of President Hawk's gifts," Feather turned to Ami shaking in fear. She knew those rings. She imdiately recognized them the mont she saw it and the person who last had them was soone she didn't want to rember ever, especially then.
"I really thought it was from him. Miss, I'm so sorry...I didn't expect it to be—"
"Get out! " Feather scread, shaking. She cupped her head with her two hands trying to wipe out a mory she doesn't want to rember, "Out now Ami! Out of my room before I can fire you out!"
Ami imdiately ran out of the room before Feather could say anything further. Feather was left all alone trembling and in paranoia. She was crying hysterically when Fara found her. She heard all the screams and saw Feather's assistant running away so she went on to check what happened.
"Feather, what happened?" Fara saw all the ss in Feather's bed and saw the bloodied rings. "Who sent you this?" She asked Feather right away as she too understood what the gift ant. "Tell Feather, who dared to send you these gifts?" Her last question was almost like a scream. She too was imdiately bothered by the fact that soone was trying to threaten them.
"I thought it was from President Hawk's mother. Ami brought it in saying it's from Hawk," That's all that Feather was able to tell. She had no more strength to say anything more as her fear consud her.
