Ever since Guest was 7 years old, she knew one name very well. Atreus Wystan. In the whispers of the house, in the meetings with the Wystan House, in the chuckles of her mother and Isolde Wystan. She would hear two things simultaneously—Atreus and Engagement.
Guest grew up in Paris, she met Atreus on multiple occasions but never initiated a conversation with him. He was always surrounded by the Lee siblings. Though, he didn't seem to enjoy their company too much. Guest never had found herself interested enough to strike a conversation.
When Guest turned 18, still completing her research on Chemistry, she learnt her engagement has been fixed to Atreus. The news was not shocking, it was more like an impending doom that has finally stepped inside the house after knocking for 11 years.
Six years have passed since the Engagement was fixed. Guest had left Paris to complete her research in Oxford and has finally returned home to Paris. Both her family and Atreus' family are agitating for a marriage. And amidst the chaos is Guest, completely unsure of how to face her fiancé after more than half a decade apart. In the meantime Atreus has become the Chairman of Time in A Frame.
Today, Guest is going to meet with Atreus at the Wystan Villa, she was informed that the Lee siblings—Zayne Lee and his sister, Amisa Lee would also be present. As always. Guest has to calmly face the upcoming events.
Atreus is present in the lavish living room of the Wystan Villa. Smoking a cigar with the calm indifference of a composed man.
Atreus wore a classic formal ensemble featuring a crisp white button-up shirt with a pointed collar, paired with a sleek black satin necktie. Layered over it is a tailored black waistcoat with a deep V-neckline, a fitted bodice, a five-button front closure, welt pockets, and a decorative silver pocket chain. The outfit is completed with straight-leg black tailored trousers, black leather gloves. His caramel blonde hair was pushed back, a single strand falling over his forehead which made him look more intimidating than he already was.
His finger drumming on the armrest, gaze fixed on the door.
Zayne was left to Atreus, flipping through the newspaper with a calm and calculative expression.
He was in a refined outfit featuring a white shirt with fine black pinstripes, a pointed collar worn open, and several top buttons undone to create a deep V-neckline. The shirt has relaxed sleeves rolled to the forearms and a softly draped bodice tucked into high-waisted beige tailored trousers with a wide waistband and pleated front. Black suspenders with silver metal clips add a structured, classic touch while accentuating the waist. His ash hair falling over his forehead which somehow looked intentional but probably was not.
Amisa is beside Zayne, talking animatedly about some jeweller from France. She is unaware that Guest is coming to meet today.
Her dress is an off-the-shoulder gown featuring a structured corset bodice and a full, floor-length skirt. Crafted in ivory floral brocade, it has a fitted silhouette that flares gracefully from the waist. Exuding luxury from every angle which somehow felt suffocating to look at.
