Chapter 03 : A Duke's Glare
Chapter 03 : A Duke’s Glare
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
Caelum’s stare was a blade.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Seraphina held his gaze, sipping wine like poison.
The ballroom faded around them.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
He approached, every step measured, his expression unreadable.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“You’ve changed,” he said lowly.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She tilted her head. “Have I, Your Grace?”
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
His eyes narrowed. “You’re dangerous now.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“I always was. You just never noticed.”
Before he could reply, Lady Evelyne—his arm candy and Seraphina’s snake of a cousin—appeared.
Lady Evelyne (FL's cousin)
“Seraphina! You look well... resurrected.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Seraphina smiled like a blade behind silk.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“And you look exactly like the girl who poisoned my perfume.”
Lady Evelyne (FL's cousin)
Evelyne’s laugh faltered.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
Caelum studied her, suspicion flickering.
Not the wide-eyed girl he once knew.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“Dance with me,” he said, suddenly.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She arched a brow. “Do you want to cause a scandal?”
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“I want the truth.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She placed her hand in his.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“Then you’ll have to keep up, Duke.”
As the waltz began, their war of hearts had officially started.
