Chapter 151: Men Are Crazy!
"Edward!" Olivia spoke softly and punched his chest lightly, teasingly, "are you being jealous of him? He is my kin and younger to me. How could it be!" Olivia’s stomach churned with disgust.
This man had slept with hundreds of women. Yet he was jealous because she took Damon’s name? But when? When did she take it?
The man’s grip finally loosened on her arm and he chuckled.
"And here I thought you only knew how to win the deals.. I have forgotten that you are Oriana’s sister." it took everything in her to not scowl at him.
"Yet you need both of us to survive. How strange." she placed her hand on his chest flirtatiously. And when his eyes darkened with desire, she stood up.
"So do not forget that we are not in love but mutual benefits. Because it would be trouble for you if I started getting jealous." The smirk on her face did not falter even when his eyes narrowed and a dangerous gleam filled them.
She let go of him and turned to leave when he snickered.
"Trying to be smart! Do not forget that you will be my wife. A man can have many women but a woman’s virtue is to be faithful, Olivia. I will not bear any insult." he snapped. Olivia’s heart trembled but she maintained that calm facade. She tilted her face to meet his eyes.
"I know my boundaries, Edward. You do not need to worry about useless things. Tomorrow at the night market, I am going to convince the woman to sign the deal for the welfare of the two countries. Make sure to take all the credit yourself." After that, she started walking again.
When she opened the door she was stunned to see Damon standing there. With his narrowed eyes, she was sure that he had heard them. Her heart twisted and tears threatened to fall. She had not felt that humiliated when Edward had questioned her character but now that Damon looked at her with narrowed eyes, she felt smaller.
"I have taken the permission from his majesty, we are returning." Olivia nodded. Relieved that she could hide in a corner until she felt better. She could feel Edward’s cold eyes glaring at her back when Damon extended his hand to hold her.
"I do not need an escort, your grace." she spat those words and walked past him. Damon stood there, meeting the eyes of smirking Edward.
"My fiance is a spitfire, nephew in law. Or should i start calling you brother in law now?" Edward asked with a raised brow but his eyes were shooting daggers. He had been with so many women, he knew when a man marked a woman as his!
"You can call me anything, your highness. I will see what I will be in the end." Damon gave a mocking bow before leaving.
Edward gritted his teeth.
"This deal and I will ask Olivia in exchange. Then I will see what you would call me, Damon!" with his eyes, Edward glared at leaving Damon with hatred in his heart.
No one could take what belonged to him.

Olivia had already settled in the seat and closed her eyes pretending to be asleep when Damon entered the carriage. He spared her only one glance before closing the door and sitting beside her instead of opposite to her.
He smiled when he felt her body stiffening. Yet the girl did not open her eyes. Damon waited for the carriage to leave the royal premises. As soon as they reached a distance away. He held her by her shoulders and pulled her head from the window to his shoulders.
Olivia froze when her soft skin met his hot skin. She could feel the stones embellished on his shoulders, but more than that, she could feel the strength of his shoulder bones and his fragrance that enveloped her whole body. Her skin tingled again. Since the time he had kissed her palms in the garden, her skin reacted to his presence differently.
His heart started to spread on her body from her face to the pit of her stomach. For some reason, she wanted to lean further and enjoy that warmth.
No! She could not sleep anymore. She sat up and looked around.
"Oh! We are already riding." she faked a yawn when he turned to look at her. The humor and gleam in his eyes told her he knew! But she ignored it.
"Tomorrow, when the deal is finalized, you can ask for the title of duke in exchange. You would have no issue in convincing the people of your estate as long as you pay attention to their needs. They are waiting for a better ruler. I..."
"Why do you care?" Olivia paused, confused.
"I.."
"You would be the crown princess. Why do you care what I do and what I would be? Do not tell me that it is only because of Leo and Abhi? After being a crown princess, you can support them much better."He cut her again and looked at her with dark eyes. His lips twisted and his eyes narrowed he was angry too!
"Ha!" Was it her mistake that she cared for him? "And what were you doing? You.." her chest burnt with fury but she was too embarrassed to say that he was holding her waist while forcing her to lean on his shoulders.
She folded her hands in front of her chest and turned toward the window. She would not talk to any men! They are foolish creatures who only know how to accuse and shout. She was not going to bear it anymore.
She felt him moving and wanted to peek, but controlled herself when she felt his warmth on her hand again. Her heart stopped beating and his breath hitched when he pulled her sleeves higher.
"Damon..." the word came out more breathy than sound. Damon was holding her left hand with her sleeves up. Their eyes met and...
"You are bruised!"
