unfit For The Duke

Frist kiss 💋

Poor fool you thought to your self you still had some hope that he did believe you so told him, who would choose a clown for his lover you felt hurt and betrayed at same time you sat in your tears you had been trying hard to control spilled you hated him even more

Meanwhile Raymond consoled Mirabel and apologize for your behavior

Is fine she said and smiled innocently that woman was actress “ I am really sorry for what happened at the party but it was no fault of my Raymond I swear it”

He nodded “ I am grateful for your help”

“Raymond” she spoke calmly as one in fear “ I don’t known how to say this but Annabelle was acting strange at the party

“What do you mean?” He asked worried

“ Oh dear Raymond I don’t mean to say such but your wife may be looking for the highest bidder at the party.She was spreading the news that you are to be divorced among the folks there and told the crown prince herself while dancing with him hand in hand like lovers, and flirted with his uncle who had suddenly picked interest in her and dress she wore was a killer she definitely looking for something”

Raymond was quiet for sometime and this made lady Mirabel nervous wondering if she had strike a nerve it was an awkward moment

“I see,” he smiled “ well we meet some other time let me escort you home” with that led her to her carriage.

He couldn’t stop thinking about everything and he could not concentrate on his daily affairs his heart skipped a beat each time he recalled her words. Her words were like a dagger to his heart. What if Mirabel was right he pondered

At night, there you were by the window gazing at the stars, worshipping the moonlight in silence, you felt his presence but you pay no heed to it for wish not to see him. You felt his gaze lingering on you and that moment of silence was suffocating. You broke it

“ What do you want” he smirked walked closed to you too close

“ at the party you met the prince”

*I did” you answered confused and scared as well he was obviously in dangerous mode

“And the Archduke”

I … I did

“ you want a divorce because you found someone better right”

What do you mean…

“So the prince was he handsome, I bet you like his body better than mine

You swallowed hard, heart pounding, caught between fear and something else a flicker of something you hadn’t fully acknowledged yet.

Before you could answer, Raymond’s hand gently cupped your cheek, his thumb tracing a slow circle that sent a shiver down your spine. His eyes bore into yours, searching, questioning, but also softening.

And then, before you give an answer he leaned in, closing the tiny gap until his lips brushed yours It was deep, The kiss you couldn’t breath it was the frist time since your marriage, you didn’t want this yet a little part of you was screaming from the pleasure, you pushed he didn’t budge finally he let go and you landed a slap on his right cheek an indication that you were displeased. He chuckled in realization

“ Do you hate me that much”

A question you knew not the answer to you did not hate him! Would never after all had done for you and your mother and once upon a time you thought you loved him but your feelings are ascertained now or so you thought, you shouldn’t confuse gratitude with love, right now you resent him for loving someone else and not letting go, for not trusting you, it was all too painful for you, you really want to be here anyone the divorce must go on.
