Chapter 59: Selfish And Greedy!

"Me!" Olivia wanted to return to her room and rest. She had kept their meeting hidden so that Oriana would never doubt her. And now this.. She glared at Damon as if signalling him but the man played naive.

He nodded with flushed cheeks like the man in love.

"Yes, I was waiting for you all this time." He walked closer letting go of Oriana. "Will you give me the honor to dance with you?" all the eyes were on Olivia as Damon kneeled on one foot.

Olvia’s eyes shot daggers at him. She warned with her eyes but feeling the gaze of so many people, she could only extend her hand.

But before she could take his hand, Oriana held her elbow.

"Olivia! Are you forgetting? You already have a partner for the night? His highness had specifically asked you to wait for him. If you dance with someone else, his highness will feel betrayed!"

"...." gasps filled the room. Many girls looked at Olivia with envy. One was the second prince, the only bachelor of the royal family. Other was the hero of the empire, only heir of the duke family. How could an orphan with no name and power had such luck?

What did she even expect from her beautiful face? Despite hearing Oriana’s words, Damon did not move.

He waited patiently for Olivia with his extended hand. Olivia’s neck was covered with sweat. How she wanted to kick this kneeling man and then gave a piece of mind to Oriana. When did Edward write her a letter?

"Sister!" Olivia collected her strength. "Your highness is not here yet. And the lord only asked me for a dance. It would be rude to refuse him in his own party. No?" Oriana’s eyes narrowed at once. Full of warning, she glared at Olivia.

Before Olivia could take a step back, Damon stood up and nodded.

"Yes, since the lady already has a partner, I will not impose. But I still need a dance partner." Oriana stared at Olivia hard. Her lips curled into a dark smile.

"Since you both agree, who am I to refuse!" this girl! She had been challenging her again and again in every party. Last time it was Abi and now Damon! Just you wait and see.

Olivia could hear Oriana’s cold voice in her mind as she turned. Damon held her head with a big grin on her face. How she wanted to punch him and break those teeth of his. But at the same time, it was her first time watching him laugh freely.

In her past life and this lifetime, Damon had always been a reserved person. He hardly showed his emotions.

"You are enjoying it at the expense of my misery. I have expected you to be that shrew, my lord." Damon raised a brow. He had not expected her to be so outspoken. He laughed softly as he pulled her closer by her waist.

"Ah! I was only happy that the lady had honored my request. You have no idea how touched I am!" Olivia watched him bemused in a trance.

Damon was a handsome man. His gray eyes leave anyone spellbounded. Her heart raced faster but she looked away. He was an enemy! An enemy! It did not matter that they shared a kiss. He did not even remember it.

"Did you do it to irritate my sister?" she did not believe there could be any other reason but the man looked at her face with a heated gaze making her blush.

"Those letters! You have written them. Right?" Olivia frowned and waited for him to explain but that was it.

"Did someone write you a love letter? I apologize to my lord, but I am still not in love with you." the man frowned, he looked at her piercingly as if trying to read her mind.

"I am talking about the maps in the rations. You have packed the rations." The last words wanted confirmation. She could hear his desperation in them and her heart shook. But her face did not show any emotion except confusion.

"What kind of maps were they? I apologize but I am not good with directions." a strange unease filled him. He had thought that he knew his enemy and friends. Even if Olivia was a mystery, he would solve her with time. But if it was not her, then his ally was in the dark.

"You are lying." he pressed her waist tighter until she flinched. "If you are worried that I will ask for an explanation then I will give you my word. I will not force you for anything. Tell me it was you." This time his voice held panic.

Olivia licked her lips. He could see was tempted.

"Alright, I made those maps." Yet her confession did not bring the relief he was looking for. It was clear that she was lying.

"You have made the maps of those seas yourself?" he tested and she nodded eagerly. Ha!

He pushed her so hard that she almost lost her balance before pulling her closer. A few paused to dance and stared at him in confusion. But his eyes did not leave Olivia. As if there was no one else in the room.

Oriana’s eyes narrowed. She could notice Damon’s rage from miles away. But she did not understand why he was suddenly interested in Olivia? They were talking constantly. But why? They did not share common interests.

"You are just like your sister! Selfish and greedy. You have not made those maps yet you are lying." he hissed only for her to laugh.

"My lord, i have told you that i had not made them yet you kept hurting me enough to leave bruises on my skin. Now that I have accepted it, hoping you would not hurt me anymore, you still want to punish me. Should I be responsible for your flicker of emotions or your desperate attempts to find that girl? I have already told you that I want to make a good relationship with you. But you have rejected me like an enemy, and now this.."
