Move in
Beatrix crossed her legs, getting more immersed into the book she was currently reading. She bit her lip trying to hold in the tear that was about to slip out of her eyes.
The male lead had sacrificed himself for the female lead and she was heartbroken. Poor male lead they had gone through so much but couldn't get their happily ever after.
She felt a pang in her heart and just as she was about to turn the page, she was ripped out of her trance as a steaming cup of hot chocolate was slammed onto the table.
Beatrix looked up startled and saw Matteo giving her a sheepish smile. She felt her irritation at being interrupted but it faded as soon as it had appeared.
"You've been sitting there all day reading, so I thought I might bring you something to drink." He said, and Beatrix thanked him offering her a small smile as she blew on the hot chocolate to rid it of the steam that rose from it.
"So what do you think?" Matteo smirked as he stared at Beatrix.
Beatrix looked up from the book she was reading and glanced up to Matteo.
"About what?" She asked, arching her brows in confusion.
"Damien." Matteo replied.
Beatrix bit her lips and replied, "I don't know. He is okay I guess."
Matteo arched his brows, "Just okay?"
Immediately, an image of Damien's perfect face danced behind her mind. His beautiful eyes that framed his chiseled cheek bones and full lips.
Beatrix wondered what his lips tasted like. Would his kisses sent butterflies in her stomach like Rhys?
Beatrix couldn't stop the skip of her pulse when she remembered her final kiss with Rhys.
Her lower abdomen clenched at the vivid memories and she shivered. No other man had made her feel the way he had.
He exuded confidence, while she wass...
Okay she had to stop! She needed to get a grip.
Heat crept along her cheeks when she realized she was already comparing Damien to Rhys.
"Bear are you blushing?" Matteo grinned, his lips pulled up into a smirk.
"What? Of course I'm not! Why would I be blushing?"
Matteo ruffled her hair and chuckled, "Well I came to inform you that Damien has decided to extend the engagement. I don't know what you told him when you guys met but he has changed his mind."
Beatrix blinked in shock, "What? Does this mean that he wouldn't give dad the antidote?"
Beatrix frowned, her brows knitting together. Did he pull back the marriage because she was a virgin? She knew men like him wanted their women experienced in the bedroom
"He has given us the antidote. For some reason, he suggested that he wants you guys to get to know each other first before you get married."
Matteo explained.
"Oh…" Beatrix said flatly. She was surprised about his decision.
"Yeah but on one condition…." Matteo paused, he stared in space for a few seconds before locking his gaze back to hers.
"What?"
"You have to spend together to get to know each other. He wants you to move in with him in country ZY."
Beatrix swallowed hard.
