"Ivana, Ivana...." The Duchess of Darkhaven’s brow furrowed on hearing her name. She slowly sat up in bed...
"Who is calling my name?" She grumbled, she was trying to sleep. Her eyes went to the window. It was morning but she was exhausted.
She just arrived from a trip the night before and warned the entire household not to bother her.
"Ivana, Ivana..." The voice called out and the door burst open. The Duke of Darkhaven stood at the door. His appearance was dishevelled and his eyes bloodshot.
"Ivana we have to leave," the Duke instructed his wife, urging her to leave the bed. "What do you mean? I am exhausted." Ivana complained. She lay back, trying to get back to sleep.
The Duke gritted his teeth, and he stormed towards the bed. "We have to leave, the imperial army is after us." He snapped. Ivana was stunned, but her husband didn’t give her much time to process what he said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her from bed.
