Devil's Heart Chapter twenty
Chapter twentyThe silence went on for an uncomfortable moment with Gareham's pose still respectful while Jason thought of what to do. First, he needed to be sure his assumption was right, "And your presence in the Duke's home?"Now it looked like the aura of despair around Jason had transferred to the dark haired butler. Gareham drew back the tiny smile he had managed to plaster and took a very new disturbing vibe. His previously cheerful nature was suddenly coated with a grim while he creased his brows, "We have just lost another Viscount My Lord…"Ahhh! He knew he was right as always.Gareham went on, "And we happen to know the assassin is an acquaintance of the young Duke."The Earl of Vetcom stalked closer to the man, cracking his knuckles in the most threatening of manners. He pulled a similar grim, faking the concern he was sure he did not have, "Oh I am very sorry." Next, a frown rested on his brows, one of curiosity as he rasped his words with an unmistakable English accent,
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty one
Chapter twenty oneWith the Duke's cheeks cupped in her small hands, Elizabeth asked with the saddest of tones, "When will you be back?"Philip faked a warm smile, trying to be in the cosiest of moods around her. He held her shoulders reassuringly and replied, "I will not be more than ten days. And as soon as I get back, I'll see to it things get less awkward between us before our marriage." He still doubted that even while he said it.Elizabeth nodded with a smile and glanced at Monica knowingly. The latter laid upon her horse with her elbows braced to support her weight.With a smile, she returned the look shortly before taking them back to the grapes she was feeding on. If she was affected by that, she did not show it. But inside, she smiled.Elizabeth could have all the fun she wanted to have with her betrothed tonight. Because if Monica was sure of something, it was that Philip won't be the same after their trip. His heart would belong to her, that she was bloody sure. The blon
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty two
Chapter twenty twoHe had to agree with Timothy that the enemies were a bit pathetic. All he ever did was wait for them to deliver themselves and give a bullet or two in return.The war went on for another while with no man down on their side of the team. Each of the eight was skilled in their own form of fighting anyways. Well just until...Monica felt the tip of a blade slice a deep groove into her back. Here she was thinking Jason was the most painful thing on Earth. She released a groan, obviously not accustomed to being hurt like that. It was like soaking your face into a hot tub of boiling oil, whichever was worse. A spiking sensation soared around the fresh wound, creating a new emotion in her head. Anger of course.Luckily her attacker never struck again until she managed to turn to face him slowly. For some reason, he looked...scared.She reached down to her hip with the little strength she had left and pulled out a pistol. The first bullet had already gone through his chest
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty three
Chapter twenty threeMonica wrapped her arms around his neck as he walked her through the doorway. He looked down at the lady in his arms to find her gaze on him as well, those cunning green eyes and mischievous smirk. Only God knew what she was thinking.Some footmen were already busy lifting their luggages into the massive new home, taking a chance to secretly glance at the pair who were just being children.The rest of the males followed Philip behind with their eyes drinking in the look of the mansion. They seemed pleased enough. Even Jason had a frown on, a good of course. One of the most pleasing looks he could give. It was that beautiful.All the corners of the large hall they'd arrived into stretched through a doorway either to open up into another hall or a hallway. The floors were a shade of dark blue terrazzo, matching daringly with the white plaster which was the top.Three massive chandeliers hung with equal spaces between them, accompanied by much smaller ones scattered
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty four
Chapter twenty fourA warning like that was tempting enough to explore. And he was falling for it. But then, his conscience brought the thought of his position in the Monarchy and Elizabeth back into his mind. Sometimes he wondered why he always listened to it.He grinned and heeded to the warning. Of course he knew better than to dare someone who made the word DARING herself.He went straight to washing the blood of the cut with some fresh water and a towel. Well this one did not seem to excite the Scottish in any way. The pinching pain made her groan for real this time, but she stayed still.However, she had gotten a laugh out of the Duke as she heard him say, "You pervertive little maiden. How did that feel?"She laughed away her worries and sighed genuinely, relishing the warmth she felt because of his presence. This time, it was something innocent, and sad. Because somewhere deep down, she knew they'd flirt all they want but he would still go find some BEFITTING.And that was som
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty five
Chapter twenty five"Why exactly are we here," Timothy looked at the massive empire of Lord Edward from the distance.Jason glared at him while nudging his Massidan horse to go forward, "The better question is…why Monica is joining us."Philip stopped his own beast and faced them all. Cautiously, they stopped riding as well and stared back at him in confusion.He then turned specifically to Timothy, "For your question, we need important information from a Baron I know. And as for yours," he faced the Earl of Vetcom, "I would say it's because Monica is unfortunately the most stiff-necked and irresistible woman I have ever met. She feels she could go through the doors of a men's party in a lady's skin. Am I right Monica?"As she smiled, obviously having no answer to that, Earl Robinson helped out, "We trust you on that one darling. Just be careful."Dusk had fallen a long time ago, making the flickering lights from the empire shine in the highest blossom. Nax was still busy analysing mo
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty six
Chapter twenty sixEarl, as pesky as always, decided to break the lustful aura of his favorite friend. While stalking behind Philip, he patted his shoulder playfully and rasped his words, "She's all yours Your Grace. You see such a fiery woman and you play the committed man."While Philip chose to ignore and roll his eyes away, his libido successfully broken, Jason and Nax chuckled in agreement.Now back to the matter at hand, the whole Anfield clan watched their bait walk up to their target and waited expectantly and deep in concentration. Even Peter had reduced his women to a single lass who fed grapes to him. It was such a fun show.Monica reached the Baron's table and sat herself upon it, using her hand to support her weight and arching her hip upwards. That pose was the most tempting for the middle aged Roothewell Henchele. While he smiled up at the woman on his table, he offered her a glass of whatever he was drinking.Monica shook her head in denial, tipping it instead towards
Devil's Heart Chapter twenty seven
Chapter twenty sevenLord Roothewell stared down at the knife on his throat, gasping fearfully before he finally looked up at them again, "What do you want from me?"The Duke studied him silently for a while before he sighed. Approaching him, he lowered his height in a squat for better scrutiny. "How well do you know my father?" The Baron seemed to have frowned a bit, they noticed. Still, he clammed up, reluctant to speak.Philip glanced at Monica with narrowed eyes, speaking a language with the stare only she was able to understand.Then, she obeyed.The lady pushed the blade closer through the Baron's skin, slightly piercing it and threatening to go deeper.With a groan, he grimaced at the sight of his own blood sipping down his clothes, "Fine!" Then he felt the weapon pressing his skin shift away as well...just a bit."I'm listening," Philip pushed his stand even more.After drawing shaky breaths for something that looked like strength, Roothewell sighed in frustration and let out
