The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

After a simple rehearsal, both of them broke into smiles. Then, Alicia chose a suitable costand applied her stage makeup quickly. She was going for a bright red eyeliner with diamonds framing her eyes. Alicia did a final check of her makeup. She also communicated with Cecil one last tbefore the show. Both of them were a little excited.

After that, they went on the stage together.

They took up their starting pose in darkness. When the bright lights were once again switched on, they cast down on both of them like a spotlight. Both of them were wearing skin tight outfits, one in an elegant suit, the other in a fiery red dress. On stage, their silhouettes were illuminated perfectly. The posture and dance moves of both dancers painted a scene of a man and a woman in love. All of a sudden, the whole nightclub was awash with excitement.

"Wow, it's Miss Swift, Miss Swift..." Everyone was elated.

There were endless cheers and whistles. On the common dance floor, people were also dancing wildly and intoxicatingly.

The duo danced beautifully together. Alicia was able to really let go of her emotions, her happiness flowed in her dance. Their movements were flawless and elegant. Before they knew it, the music had already cto a close. Hooking her arms around Cecil's neck, they struck a loving pose while grinning at each other.

So this was how carefree life felt like, to have a bosom friend! The performance ended amid applause and dimming lights. Alicia and Cecil took a bow and stepped off the stage. After reaching the side, they clasped hands, exchanging a few words.

"I hope that we'll have a chance to work together again in the future. Do cmore often!" Alicia said. "Definitely!" Just as they were about to head back, a waiter suddenly approached them and said, "Miss Swift..." Cecil gave a little wave and said, "I'm heading off then!" "See you!" Returning the wave, Alicia took the lace hoodie that her assistant had handed her and put it on. "What's the matter?" "A gentleman cover just now and gave us a business card. He said that he is from an artist management company, and would like to invite you over to their table for a chat. I think he mentioned that a celebrity is there too. Oh, here's his business card. He also gave you a bouquet of tulips!" As she spoke, another waiter walked over with a bouquet of red tulips.

An artist management company? A celebrity? She wanted to refuse initially, but moments before making that decision, she suddenly thought of Sebastian, who was also from the entertainment industry. Perhaps, this was her chance to connect with him? With that thought in mind, she reached out and took the business card.

As her eyes fell on the nprinted on the card, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. Sebastian? Could it really be Sebastian himself? Having searched high and low for him before, she couldn't believe her sheer luck! She'd always wanted a chance to talk to him, and here he was! Taking the tulips from the waiter, she inhaled their fragrance, a small smile appeared on her lips.

"These are exquisite! Taketo his table, I wish to thank him in person." Hearing her own familiar-yet-strange voice, Alicia's hands trembled slightly from the excitement.

Soon, she was walking towards a table in a dimly lit corner of the club. As she approached, the two men at the table rose. Alicia was familiar with one of the two men, it was Sebastian! Nearly in his fifties, he still looked like a man in his early thirties. He looked pretty fit and he had a healthy complexion.

Despite being in such a competitive industry, he'd somehow managed to preserve his looks to the extent that he looked much better than her aunt, who was several years younger than him. This d*mn vampire! Unknowingly, Alicia tightened her grip on the flowers. On her face, she maintained a mild expression, appearing just as elegant as her usual self.

At the sight of her face, Sebastian's face turned ghastly pale. His lips trembled slightly. "You...?" Why did she look so familiar? She... she looked so much like Freya's beautiful niece! Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, there was still a sense of familiarity and recognition. He was stunned by her appearance when he met the girl for the first time.

Not to mention that she was from a good family, and she'd known to dress well. She was always a sight to behold. Even now, he could still remember the feeling when he met her for the first time, that urge to keep staring.

The agent seemed to have noticed his gaffe. He glanced between the two of them and asked quizzically, "Do you know each other?" There were butterflies in Alicia's stomach, but she restrained herself and spoke.

"Who wouldn't know the famous Sebastian Forbes? I grew up listening to his songs! I guess you could calla fan. I especially love the song titled 'Love in the Storm', which was a huge hit when it first cout. It's one of my all tfavorites..." That song depicted an ordinary and sincere love. It described a wife who'd stayed with her husband through all the bad times, devoting themselves to each other for the rest of their lives. In fact, it sort of reminisced the earlier life he'd had with her aunt when her aunt sacrificed everything for him. It was unfortunate that they hadn't had the quintessential happy ending of growing old together.

The irony was that this was the very song that started his rise to fame, and that it was still considered a classic today.

She took the initiative first and stretched out her hand, saying with a faint smile, "My nis Misty, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for the flowers. I like them very much!" Sebastian cto his senses the

instant he heard her voice. He'd been mesmerized by Alicia's perfect face; the mole under her eye could have ΟΠ been seen as a flaw but it'& actually NO added sdimension to her beauty. However, her voice was one noticeable difference between the girl in his memory and the beauty in front of him, and that pulled him back to reality. She probably wasn't that girl.

The girl in his memory had a melodic, gentle voice. This girl's voice had a certain hoarseness; the cadence and tone could not be considered pleasant to the ear, but it had a certain uniqueness and charm to it.

In his distraction, Sebastian failed to detect the hidden meaning behind Alicia's words. He shook her hand and said curiously, "Hello there! You seem somewhat familiar. It's almost as if I've met you somewhere before..." Laughing dryly, Alicia replied, "Well, it could be because my face has pretty common features!" "That's not possible. It must be

because you're too beautiful. I'm sure anyone who saw you would find you hard to forget!" "Why, thank you for the compliment!" While talking casually, all of them sat down at the table. Alicia ordered a glass ofred rega wine, and the three sank into a casual and light conversation. As expected, Sebastian did a little probing into her background, but given that she was using the identity of her distant relative's daughter and someone who actually existed, she was very open with him on where 'Misty' was from. All of the information that she gave would probably hold out to a background check anyway, given that the village she claimed to hail from was rather remote, and half of the villagers are Blanchards. "Oh, yes! I've been away for many years. Sometimes, I don't even go back during the new year. I really miss the snacks that I used to eat back home; those fritters dipped in brown sugar were the best..."
