Chapter 164: On Fire!
"You! You are forcing her! She is the one who wanted to get married to me. Why are you not calling her? Have you locked her somewhere?" Edward could not let go. Olivia was the key to his success. If he lost her, Elio might win.
But more than that, he could not lose to Damon. His mocking smile was irritating.
"You have a vivid imagination, your grace. It is dawn. She is sleeping. She had a late night conversation with the envoys and then I tired her. I could not be cruel enough to wake her up when she looked so innocent while she slept." the man sighed with his eyes full of love and a strange gleam.
"... you tired her!" Diana wanted to be a fool and believe he had given her so many tasks that she felt tired. But his smile did not let her. Color drained from her face and filled with rage.
"How could you! Damon Aykroyd, I would make sure that you would never be titled duke. You have chosen a commer over me. I will never forgive you." Diana shook with rage. She had always been the center of attraction.
She could not even count the number of nobles that wanted to marry her. But she had chosen him! He did not know how lucky he was!
"I do not need your forgiveness, your highness. But your family might need my support." Edward gritted his teeth and held Diana’s hand.
"We have come unannounced. We will be leaving." Damon nodded with a curt bow as Diana struggled in Edward’s grip.
"Brother! Why did you come out this easily? He had insulted both of us. And it was all because of that witch! I will kill her with my own hands." Diana pulled her hands away and kicked a stone but that was not enough to relieve her rage.
"They have planned it." Edward whispered. More to himself than her. "They used us," he concluded with a chuckle. But his eyes were devoid of any humor.
"What did you say?" Diana was stunned. "Brother, that girl must have seduced Damon!"
"For what?" Edward snapped back, "he had a prince marrying her. Why would she seduce a nameless duke?" he hissed leaving Diana stunned. Any word and she would be insulting her brother.
"We need to deal with them but not like this. It feels like we are quarreling with commoners. I need to return. Are you coming?" Diana had no choice. The cold look on his brother;s face told her that he would not listen anymore.
She glared at the tall manor before following her brother in the carriage.
"Brother..."
"Enough, I am tired." Edward closed his eyes. Diana gritted her teeth. Olivia! She had to pay for this insult.

Damon stood at his place with Theo. Theo could not sit still.
"You have made the royal family enemies for a girl." he looked exasperated "what if they refused to give the title as the princess suggested." Damon watched the cold night, he looked lost in his thoughts.
"Have you prepared what I have told you?" Theo wanted to say that he did not care about Oriana. But he knew Damon and he knew if Damon would not get the reply he wanted, he would go himself to the north.
"Yes, I made sure that she could not come back." Damon nodded.
"It is late, you should go and rest." Theo did not move. But Damon did not care. He left the room.
Instead of returning to his room, he returned to Leo’s chamber. Olivia was sleeping in the middle with both kids at her side. Their tiny hands wrapped her around her lithe waist.
She looked peaceful, completely in contrast with the raging girl who was panicking that he had lost it. He would suffer. Even in her anger, she never talked about herself. She was only worrying that he would suffer and so did the kids.
He sat there and wondered had she ever thought about herself? One thing she had done only for her! The more he watched, he wanted to hug her in her sleep.
He would give anything to change places with leo. But then... Why did he need to do it when he could do it for free? He pulled Leo in his arms and placed him on the other side beside his sister.
Leo shifted and then hugged Abi and snuggled to her. Damon took off his shoes and extinguished the single candle flickering in the dark.
Olivia yawned. She stretched herself, but when she opened her eyes the room was dark. The curtains were tightly shut to make sure no light penetrated. She frowned! She never does it.
She tried to sit but two pairs of hands were holding her tightly in her place. But... Why did it feel so broad and strong? She looked at her left with drowsy eyes but her eyes opened wide and she hiccuped!
And hiccups again! Damon Aykroyd, her killer and the new duke was snuggled in her arms. And she had one leg wrapped around him earlier. His hands are holding her tightly and possessively. Suddenly, the kiss from last night flashed in front of her eyes and she hiccuped harder. Her eyes widening and her breath swallowing. What is happening!
"Da... Damon.." the voice came low like a soft purr. Her drowsy voice was so seductive. Damon leaned closer and inhaled her sweet smell. Last night, he wanted to kill someone. But her presence had calmed him. How long had it been since he had slept this well? He did not want to let go. So when she called him, he leaned closer and hugged her tightly.
Olivia stiffened. She could feel his strong muscles on her body. The heat permeated through made it hard to breath. Her body was on fire. And her heart was a mess. She even entertained the idea of playing dead and let him take the blame. But...
"I could not, Damon. I can not choose you."
