Chapter 7 Drama acted on stage

Olivia went back to her room for the rest of the day, she was eager to know what later happened to McPherson in the story who had transmigrated into another body but she was still clueless which body he reincarnated into. The story was getting interesting by the moment. Olivia continued to read the novel when Luna her maid came with bowl after bowls of water. She quickly freshened up before putting on an evening gown. She let down her long blonde hair so that it could give her warm in the slightly cold weather.

Knock knock

The door banged open and George walked in with long strides, looking angry. He gripped her shoulders in his hands and she moved back wanting his hand off her. George pushed Olivia just on the bed, he hovered above her. " What's going on between you and the Duke!!" He screamed his lungs out. She didn't know if she should just position herself to be slapped.

" I don't understand, what are you meaning to say. " She managed to ask and he gripped her hair in a fist. " Ahhh!!"

" Why didn't you tell me you act in the local theater, why didn't you tell me you know the Duke or you two were friends, do you fucking hate me that much!! "

" We... Ahh! We are not friends. He only spoke to me once in the entertainment industry, he only comes to watch the play. " George stopped gripping her hair. He instead leaned to kiss her but she moved away her face. " What can I fucking do to win you over Olivia, can't you see I love you. " The magistrate said.

" Mmmm." Olivia cried silently. " Stop forcing yourself on me. " She said.

" Can you stop crying now. '' He gritted his teeth. " Olivia up till now the Duke have always been on the dormant side with me. He looks at me as if I am so beneath his shoes but I try to stand out. " Olivia moved away from him to sit on the side.

" Why are you telling me all this. " Olivia said with a hiccups.

" You want to know why am telling you all this," He narrowed his eyes deep in thought. " I want to have same power over him and for that. " He snapped his face at her. " You must manipulate the Duke into falling for you. "

" What... what. are you saying." She stuttered.

" You heard me right. "

" I can't do that. " She shook her head at the thought.

" I can tell he is already smitten by you, while you show him round the manor, try to engage him in some conversation. Be engaging. " Olivia trembled seeing the evil smirk that appeared on his face.

Up till now Delilah and his brother has always controlled him, the thought of revenging the Duke made him excited.

" You are an actress ain't you, it's time to put your acting into practice. Make him think like that while you be mine alone. " He launched a peck at her cleavage and her nape.

He pulled away from her and then walked out of the door. Her eyes continued to be wide open unable to believe what George had said. She walked back to the bathroom to wash the tears off her face.

Luna accompanied Olivia to the dinning, where the dinner will be taken. Olivia sat quietly still thinking about what George said and what she should do.

" Aunt you seem to be lost. " Falcon said, Vanessa son.

Olivia snapped out. " I wasn't. "

" Falcon it isn't something to be worried about, Aunt Olivia must be thinking of how to unlock her powers. "

George eyes followed the duke like a hawk. The two were speaking quietly just now but the Duke had turned his face to his wife at the call of her name. He turned back to speak to him. " Why haven't your fifth wife unlocked her powers by now. "

" I have been trying to make her agile but she slacks off to much, a lazy type. " He yawned placing his hand on his mouth.

" Oh " He lifted his spoon sipping the soup from the spoon. George eyes continued to follow his every move.

After the dinner, Olivia wanted to retire fast. " Fifth wife of Mr George Lockwood. " She heard Dylan's voice from behind. She school in a smile on her face before turning around. " Ash! I can't believe I forgot to show you around. "

" You don't have to blame yourself Olivia Lockwood. " He gave a gentleman smile to her.

" I told you my fifth wife is a little lazy, she must be probably running to slump into the bed after eating. " George chipped in.

" Don't worry brother Dylan I will take you round the manor myself. " Delilah walked to stand beside her brother, narrowing her eyes at Olivia. She pulled her brother hand who stood stiff without moving.

" Delilah let me get to know George's other wife. "

" Why? " Delilah asked not liking her brother spending time with the woman.

" Didn't you heard when he said that Olivia was an excellent host." George said. Olivia came to stand beside Dylan.

" I will show you around. " Olivia said. She walked him upstairs.

" Why did you say you you needed to know me more. "

" You were a good host back then weren't you. "

" I didn't do much. "

" Maybe I find it refreshing to walk along side with you. " Olivia stopped walking, she looked up at him. There eyes locked in each other. She doubted the Duke was any smitten by her. She picked in a fleck of green in his turquoise eyes.

" There are green in your eyes. " She turned to walk.

" Is there?. "

" Yes amidst your turquoise eye color. "

" You have a lovely blue eyes yourself. "

" Thanks for the compliment. " Olivia pushed the door of a room open. The door closed back. " in case you want some novels to read. This is the library. " Walking to one side of the shelf. " You will get to see the historical context here, this side is just some poems, here are fantasy and fairy-' gasps'."

" What happened mis Olivia Lockwood. "

" You scared me. " Olivia said, she didn't know he was standing behind her. Her eyes fell on his broad chest, beneath the thick coat he wore.

" Is there a ghost here or are you always seem scared whenever I am close to you. "

" Not at all but I think I need some space Duke Dylan." She exhaled from her mouth.

" How will I be able to see what you're showing me lady Olivia, I am much interested in them, especially drama. "

" I will just show you the side where Drama novels are kept. "

" I dont like drama novels. "

" What now. "

" The one acted on the stage, " Dylan bent to her height. Not that she was short but he was much taller. " and by you. "
