Cataleya started to feel uneasy and a little annoyed with this Budeska woman after seeing how troubled the duke appeared right now. She felt like she was being used for that apparition's agenda.
"You know what? I think it was only a dream and I'm just over thinking about it." Cataleya dismissed. However, her words seemed to come in deaf ears as the duke turned away from her headed to the door.
"Hey, is that it? Are you leaving? What in the actual hell is happening? Hey!" In anger, Cataleya forced herself to stand up from the bed and ran after him.
Just before he could escape to the door, she was able to hold into his arm and stopped him from exiting.
"Tell me what is going on? Why are you looking so frightened?" She asked and she yelped in surprised when she was answered with a tight hug from him. She heard his labored breathing through her ear as he tightened his arms around her.
