Chapter Three

Everything's seems like a blur to Claire. She pinched her arm many times hoping that this is all just a dream and she'll wake up in her own bed and go back to her normal life but it seems like she's been stuck in the year 1945.She looked at the five people who were sitting at the same table. They are currently having a banquet,which was also the after party for Miss Fleur de Bleu event...There's this woman who claimed to be Nana's mother,and she felt so strange because she never saw her great grandmother's well----mother. She only saw her on a black and white photo shown to her by Nana waaaayyyy back.Her great great grandma seems to be the controlling type of person,and she's always telling her what to do and what to say during dinner...Then,she turned her attention to the man sitting beside her. She has been observing him and based on what she's been hearing from the other people at the party,his name is Lawrence Patton,a politician's son and a self-made millionaire. He owns a real-estate company and everybody wants to be associated with him.And the shocking fact is...Nana was engaged to this man!"So,when are you going to get married?" Claire's thoughts suddenly stopped in a halt when he heard someone talk.She tried to remain calm because she knows that there's nothing she can do as of the moment,so she didn't have any choice but to go with the flow. And after this party,maybe she'll be able to think and come up with a plan on how she'll get out from this situation..."Well,since my fiancée won as Miss Fleur de Bleu,I think she needs to finish her one year reign and after that,we'll get married right away,am I right,darling?" Lawrence answered,as he clasped her hand.Claire felt a tingling sensation on her hand afterwards."Y-Yes." that's all she can say. He couldn't help herself but to look at her "fiancé's" face. His black hair was swept in an updo hairstyle which made him look dandy. He also got a pair of deep-set blue eyes that made her think of a blue ocean...He also got a Greek-like nose and well,his face itself looks like an art. He also got thin lips and a chiseled jawline...This man is really attractive,and he's the type of person that she'll fall inlove with. But based on what her mother told her,her Nana broke her engagement to this man and finally met Granpa...And now she's wondering---why did Nana broke up with this wonderful guy?"And for that,let me propose a toast to the two lovebirds. I'm sure their wedding will be the grandest event in the history! Cheers!"Everyone on the table raised their glasses for a celebratory toast."Cheers!" they all said in unison.Claire almost couldn't swallow the champagne from her glass. She's in a state of confusion and she desperately wants to go to a quiet room and think...
