Chapter 71: How did you know?
Determined, Cass didn’t look back at Lady Ava as he passed her slightly hunched form. Honestly, he had no idea what else she had anticipated him saying.
Well, in fairness, only really he knew he was a secret villain. Everyone else had just disliked Lord Blackburn because of his family background. If anyone else knew that, they certainly didn’t let it be known.
Sam had a rather stoic look on his face, along with Sir Forsythe. It was Draken who appeared to be thoughtful.
"Ready to head back?" He asked and Cass stopped mid-step.
"I am. Why are you asking?" He demanded and Draken chuckled.
"Because I am not about to let my husband who was already attacked once today travel on his own." Cass felt his face flush.
"We are not married." Cass declared quickly. "It’s illegal for two men to be married. We just happen to be married to the same woman." Cass knew it sounded like he was making an excuse. Maybe he was. Either way, he needed to defend himself, especially around so many ears.
Draken smirked, raising one of his hands to gently tap his own shoulder. Cass felt his face flame further as he realised what he was hinting at. The bite mark. The mark that had started damn near everything.
"Not by human laws, and we both know I don’t really play by those unless it’s convenient for me to do so." Cass, who had just come from Lady Ava who was practically begging him to forgive him for the same fucking incident, had gone to Draken. Who had no remorse about what he had done.
What a fucking great choice for him.
He could not move out of this damn mansion fast enough. Should he just go to Lady Fiona and try to get a divorce right now? It would save him some hassle.
