Chapter 114 Gwen

• The night seemed to be endless and so was my uneasy heart. Ashton hardly spared me a glance, even as we danced. It was as if I was there but to him, I was not existing. With each step we made on the dance floor, you the onlookers everything was alright, but between us, we knew there was war.
• Immediately the dance came to an end, the gathering broke out in a loud cheer, howling at the top of their voices as we bowed and Ashton led me out towards the staircase that led to his throne. His hands not leaving mine.
• "That was a wonderful performance, I must say, Ashton." Came a familiar voice just before we approached the staircase.
