Who was this man and where did the duke go? Evan stared at his nonchalance with a baffled look and did not realize he had already descended stairs and walked toward the garden but her attention was taken by the whispers.
She knew this voice, the owner of it. Her whole body shivered and her first attempt was to hide after what happened last time but it was already too late. The man was standing in front of her, staring at her with rage darkening those honey eyes.
"Evangeline!" The one word was enough to straighten her. When she realized she was still in Damien's arms, she struggled to get free but the man splayed his hands on her back, calming her.
"Lord Midnight Star, I did not know you had entered my place uninvited." the man did not tear his cold gaze away from Evangeline. He was staring at her as if he wanted to kill her from his gaze. But strangely Evan felt better hearing Damien.
