Dion had looked at the door almost a hundred times when Abi entered. His eyes paused and then brightened looking at her once. But she did not look at him. She was glaring at her partner for the night. He paused and stared hard.
Jamie, the boy the count loved more than his wife. The child who is famous for rejecting his position as count when his father offered and decided to work under him. He hated that man. But it was never to this limit. At this moment, he wanted to burn this man to ashes.
The way he has held Abi's hands and the way Abi paid him attention even when she was scolding him.
He took a step forward, stopped when Abi turned to look at him. It might be the sound he created or just an accident that forced her to look at him. But his breath stopped at that moment and he could not help but stare at her.
"Abigail." The whisper was enough to stop his breath but her face went cold as soon as she noticed it was he who was staring at her.
