Levina's POV.
When the duke returns inform me immediately. I heard Selene's voice coming from the garden.
So you want to welcome your husband , let's see how that will go .
I will make sure am the first to warmly welcome him into his home while l let you watch the scene.
Hey , you . I called a random maid passing by me .
When Damon returns, make sure to inform me immediately
Yes my Lady .
Now go away.
After twenty minutes.
My Lady , the Duke is back. The maid informed me .
Is he wet , l asked.
Yes , he is my Lady .
Get me a towel .
...
Damon
What happened, why are dripping wet . Didn't you go with a carriage.
You will get sick ..
I immediately rushed to Damon to wipe his hair which was wet . I truly cared for him and didn't want him to catch a cold and ofcourse l wanted his wife to see us together.
Am fine Levina , a little rain won't kill me .
No let me help you dry your hair atleast.
No it's fine you don't have to do that . Damon said .
I could see that he was not comfortable with what l was doing .
Even in the past he has always rejected my advances despite still being my friend . Can't he for once see me as a woman meant for him.
Am sure your wife would not appreciate her husband returning home on her first day here with a wet shabby look . I used the only trick in the book that could make Damon stay .
Okay hurry and let's get it over with . He said
I inwardly smiled at myself as l slightly turned my head to see if my plan was in action and indeed it was .
I could see her standing a few meters from the entrance on the steps obviously shocked from the way l was holding Damon.
Am almost done Damon just hold on a little .
I wiped his hair dry and we turned around to go inside and l noticed his new wife wasn't standing at the steps anymore
She must be crying her eyes out in her room after everything she witnessed
Job well done Levina. Slowly by slowly you will get your man.
Present.
Welcome back duke . Xavier said when Damon entered the house. He had seen the exchange at the door but didn't understand why this young lady keeps doing such things when the duke has clearly not shown any interest in her .
She might truly cause problems for the duchess now that she is living here.
Sigh.
Xavier , where is Levina. Damon asked about his wife .
She must be in her room since she left the garden due to the bad weather .
Okay , prepare my bath . I will see her after the bath.
Knock knock .
I knocked the door to Selene's room but l didn't receive and answer so l decided to push the door and enter.
Ohh she was asleep . I inched closer to the bed to pull the blanket properly on her sleeping form .
Her red hair was scattered all over the pillow , her eye lashes were long and beautiful. That small nose . She was adorable.
Something deep inside him stirred but he was unfamiliar with what he was feeling right now .
His hands paused midway when he wanted to run his hands in her hair .
I should not disturb her sleep , I will see her at dinner .
