Indebted Lady to a Heartless Gentleman

⟪Complete Novel⟫ What sort of witchcraft was that? Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her. 'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.' She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired. 'I know you like this. I can hear it in your heartbeat. I can taste it.' She did like it. His deep voice inside her mind carried a wealth of passion. It felt like having even more of him within her. It was tempting to fully embrace it. 'You are mine, body and mind, give me everything.' *** The Archduke of Lanark was blessed with two daughters, his eldest was the most beautiful Lady in the kingdom, while the youngest, Adelaide, held a special place in his heart. Life for the noble family was about to undergo a profound shift. With the revolution threatening the aristocrats of Emoria, their Monarch demanded they part with a significant portion of their wealth to appease the people.

To their astonishment, this stranger paid off the Archduke's debt, becoming involved in their lives in more ways than one. Egon von Conradie, the wealthy commoner, had a hidden agenda. But his perfect plan faced an unforeseen obstacle—he had not anticipated falling for the daughter of his mortal enemy. Only Adelaide, a rare Healer, had the power to captivate a unique Beast like Egon. *** Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Epilogue

On another autumn evening, the de Lanarks and von Conradies gathered in Adela's piano room in response to the invitation from the Crown Prince of Emoria.

Making a subtle effort to gain his mother's favor over the past month, Noctavian had been playing her favorite pieces every day now that he was once again under the Archduchess's roof.

The music that was complemented by the flickering flames in the fireplace held a captivating sway over Adela. Her eyes affectionately swept across her family, starting with the right side of the room where the piano was centered.

Egon stood by Noctavian's side and watched him play with eyes filled with paternal love while Arkin and Lidya occupied the sofa next to them. Despite having just emerged from an argument, they sat together with Arkin casually placing his arm behind her back, she sweetly leaned against his shoulder.

How adorable...
