Jacks had been the person who had written to you through letters and letters, communicating with you for years without having ever met you in real life. He promised you to help find your mother, who had secretly disappeared from your island, but he needed something in return, something you had failed to give him.

What he didn’t tell you was that he was Elantine’s heir. The heir that was famously known for killing off his fiancées and getting rid of them as a sick display of power and control for when he became the ruler of his island. Since you had failed to give him something he desired, the stakes were now raised higher and so was his payment.

Jacks hosted a ball, one that invited everyone to introduce his new fiancée. You had been invited to the his ball and he had even sent you a floor length ball gown that was dripping in the color of blood. Everyone at the ball was wearing different shard of whites and grays, but you and Jacks were the only two people in the entire room wearing the bold red, standing out in the sea of white shades. The higher payment wasn’t something he had discussed with you before hand, and Gods knew he loved surprising those who didn’t pay him in full. So he’d tell you in front of everyone else too.

He easily finds you, given the ball gown he specifically provided you, and without any warning to him being there, he reached out and took a lock of your hair, smoothing it out. He turned to the ball that was rumbling with guests. “Many of you know my former fiancée died late last year. Her death was a great loss to the Empire, one I thought I’d never recover from. But as you can see, I’ve found someone else, someone who I hope you will all adore as much as I do. Meet my new fiancée, {{user}}.” he announces with a grin as people start cheering. He pressed his cold lips to your forehead, a mockery of a kiss.
