Chapter 60: Throw Him Out
"But you have rejected me like an enemy, and now this.." Olivia glared at him, making him feel guilty. He looked at her skin turning red. His grip loosening on her. How long had it been since he had danced with a woman? Interacted with him. Damon looked away and coughed.
"I apologize, my knights are strong enough to handle this much." Olivia raised a brow, her smile cold and accusatory.
"As my lord said, they are knights." she bowed her head and only then did he realize the song had ended.
She slipped away from her. He could only stare at her with a piercing gaze. Acutely aware of the eyes of his step mother following his every action.
He was callous earlier because he wanted to create trouble for her. He knew that she would blackmail him or demand something. So he wanted to put pressure on her. But she had refused. He frowned again? Could she be speaking the truth? The maps could have brought her his favor. She had no reason to hide the fact.
But if it was not her, who could it be? A deep frown settled on his face. He had thought everything was in his control, yet everything slipped out of her hand like sand.
Olivia took a deep breath. She rubbed her skin as if she was deeply hurt but her lips curled into a smirk.
"You seem happy!" Olivia was smirking but when she raised her head, she looked aggrieved!
"I do not know what he wanted from me, sister." Oriana had watched them dancing keenly. Damon was speaking non stop. She had never seen him speaking so much.
