Now that he was reminded of his love, he couldn't help but miss her terribly. He picks up the phone and dials her number only to get disappointed. He was helpless. His family needed him. Now that he had spent some time away, he wondered if he had screwed up. He couldn't afford to lose her. So, he makes a mental note to talk to her and finish the business here as soon as possible. I have to think of a plan to gain the witch's trust. Nik says that she is an egoist. People like this love to hear their praises. I guess I should throw a party to invite all the supernaturals and dig up some information and dirt in case she doesn't agree with me. She is a heretic and is been around for years, this has to go well. If anything pisses her off, we have fewer chances of finding the imposter creatures that threatened Ivy and others. Her name is Alexandra.

Jade's POV:

Ugh. My phone is dead. I reach Mystic Falls and settle in a hotel. I go to the mystic grill to have dinner and rested nicely so I could see Elijah first thing in the morning. When I was about to turn off the lamp, my laptop buzzed and I saw a message from Caroline. I had met her once or twice when she invited us to her and Stefan's wedding and also when she came to visit Klaus with her baby girls. She is very sweet and I genuinely liked her. I open up to see the message.

*Hey! Damon said he spotted you in Mystic Grill lately. Are you in town?? Xxx* 

*Hiiii. Omg yes. I came here to surprise Elijah! Any idea where he is staying?*

                                                      *Aww, you guys are so cute! Yes, he's throwing a ball tomorrow at Silver Royal Venue. Maybe you could dress up and surprise him there!!"

"Wow, that's a gr8 plan but I don't have any ball gowns. Shopping? plzzz :((("

                                                                        *OMG YES. Mystic Grill, 9ó clock."

"COOOL"

Caroline and I spent the whole afternoon shopping and she could see my eagerness to meet my boyfriend. We finally stumbled upon a nice dress and Care helped me match some shoes and Jewelry with it.

My dress:

Jewelry:

"Girl, you look gorgeous. Like a modern-day Cinderella! I swear Elijah is going to lose his mind." Caroline comments earning a giggle from my side.

"I can't thank you enough Care. Elijah and I have been going through a rough patch lately and I just came here to talk because I can't spend a single day without him. I am so grateful to you." I say sincerely.

"Oh please. What else are friends for? Besides, you and he are perfect for each other. And I think you made a good decision." She said and hugged me.

Stefan picked us up in his 1963 Porsche 356 Karmann Coupe. 

I took a nervous breath and Caroline assured me that I was doing the right thing. I went in and I felt some dude stepping on my gown. I dart a look back and he gave an apologetic smile.

"Damon Salvatore." The guy said extending his hand for a handshake. I return the gesture with a polite nod.

"Jade Hildegard," I replied.

"What is a lady as lovely as you doing alone?" He spoke in a flirty tone. I giggle and respond,

"I am here to surprise my boyfriend. Have you seen Elijah around?" I ask which made him shake his head. He politely greeted me and left. I enter and search for Elijah in the huge venue. Oh god, it's so large and beautiful too. Caroline joined to give me company and said that she'll ask around if anyone has seen Elijah.

While we were searching for Elijah, we hear a woman say, 

"Elijah Mikaelson is sexy as fuck. I will literally tear him out of the suits he wears," The woman grinned and her friend high-fived her. I was furious after listening to this and decided I should introduce myself.

"Oh my god, I literally pass out when I see Elijah fucking Mikaelson," Her friend added. I turned to them. Caroline looked at me as I frowned in rage.

"Excuse me, I have to go make a scene," I handed her my champagne glass and we went near the group of girls.

"Hi," I said with a fake grin.

"Who the hell are you?" The redhead spoke.

"Well, I am not Elijah fucking Mikaelson but I am fucking Elijah Mikaleson," I said crossing my arms which made caroline choke on her drink and she giggled.

"What?" the blonde woman asked.

"Jade Hildegard. Elijah's girlfriend. Pleasure, I am sure," I said.

"No way. you?  Are you crazy? Why did he give a special invitation to us if he were spoken for? Elijah especially sent a handwritten card for me to attend this ball. He said he's basically throwing this ball for me," The redhead bragged.

"You're lying," Care said to her.

"Aw. It is gonna feel so good tomorrow when I wake up in his arms," The redhead spoke.

"Why don't you do the world a favor and not wake up at all tomorrow?" I replied which made her throw a champagne glass at me. Caroline caught it halfway but the champagne escaped and hugged the fabrics of my dress. Everyone gasped and everyone looked at us.

"What is going on here?" I heard the velvety voice which my ears were craving for. I saw him coming in his classic suit and looking handsome and he widened his eyes when he saw me.

"Elijah. She is bothering us. Do you even need our help or not ?" The redhead spoke which interrupted his gaze.

"No, I am sure this is a misunderstanding Ms. Alexandra, I will spend the rest of the evening making sure you are perfectly comfortable," He said which made me furious. who the fuck is this woman?

"What? She fucking threw a glass at me. I would've been covered in blood if caroline hadn't caught it," I said but was interrupted.

"Enough Jade. Come with me, we need to have a word." Elijah said dragging me into his room upstairs.
