Claire's POV"So, since you're so eager to learn, it's time for dance lessons, Claire?" Louis slightly leans down, extending his arm towards me in an inviting gesture.I gazed into Louis's deep blue eyes, squinting a little. "You really mean that, huh?""Of course. Serious face, miss." Louis suppresses his smile, deliberately putting on a stern expression. "I'm a strict teacher, you know.""Alright, Mr. Teacher." I shrug, gently placing my hand in Louis's palm. "But I gotta warn you, I have zero experience in dancing. So don't be surprised if I can't keep up with your moves.""Are you serious?" Louis sounds surprised, a hint of confusion in his voice. "I thought dancing was a mandatory class for every noble girl.""Well, for my sister Cathy, it definitely is. After all, she's Dad's favorite daughter. And my stepmother, Rachel, wouldn't allow her daughter to lag behind in activities where she can shine."I thought I'd grown numb to the years of inequality, but as I recount my past of b

Maria's POV"What's that noise outside?" I furrow my brow, shooting an impatient glance at the attendant behind me through the mirror. "Do you have other customers in the store today?""Yes, Maria. With Prince Louis's ball approaching, we've had more customers than usual lately. If you don't want to be disturbed, I can arrange for you to move to a quieter suite. What do you think?"Maria, Maria, Maria.I scoff inwardly.Before Liam's death, wherever I went, the staff would clear the area for me. But now, not only has the VIP treatment disappeared, but even the way they address me has changed from "Your Highness" to "Maria."Damn it!Just as I'm about to reprimand the tactless attendant, a sweet voice brings me back to reason. "Mommy, your dress is so beautiful!"Chris rushes into my arms, his face beaming. In an instant, most of my annoyance and anger dissipate."Really, darling?" I kissed Chris's cheek, asking, "When did you wake up? And where's your nanny?""I just woke up."Chris w

Maria's POV“A perfect evening gown.”After saying this, I snapped my fingers, and my assistant Ashley immediately wheeled in an exquisite and dazzling evening gown.“This dress was originally intended for me to wear to Prince Louis's ball, but I've changed my mind now.”I smiled at Cathy.Her guarded expression melted away completely upon seeing the dazzling silver evening gown, replaced only by envy.“Are you, are you saying you want to give this dress to me?” Cathy blinked, her words stuttering, “But I don't even know your name.”This d.amn foolish girl!I cursed silently in my mind, but maintained a smile on my face, calmly introducing myself to her.“I'm Maria, Liam's wife.”“Oh! So you're the wife of the prince!” Cathy's eyes widened, “I'm really sorry, I, I didn't...”I waved my hand, suppressing my impatience and putting on a smile.“It's fine. I've always kept a low profile, so it's normal for people not to recognize me since I rarely interact with the media.”“Your father is

Claire's POV"Hey, Louis, what a coincidence, you're here too." I followed the direction of the voice and saw Penny hurrying to intercept a figure, seemingly trying to stop them in their tracks. "Sorry, Maria, you can't come in..."At this moment, Penny's tone was noticeably weaker compared to when she warned Cathy, but surprisingly, Maria, who was intercepted by Penny, didn't immediately get angry. In fact, she still had a gentle smile on her face."Go on, Chris, don't you want to see Uncle Louis? He's right here.""Uncle Louis!"No one dared to stop the little prince. So, everyone present could only watch as Chris, who had let go of his mother's hand, joyfully ran towards Louis."Maria? Chris? What are you doing here?" Louis's brow furrowed completely, but perhaps out of consideration for Chris, his tone remained somewhat normal."I came to pick up the evening gown I had ordered earlier. I happened to hear someone saying you were in the VIP suite. You know, Chris is always clinging

Louis's POVDamn, what a surprise! Seeing Claire's innocent face light up with mischief, I couldn't help but get all fired up.Even though the wolf inside me was practically roaring, urging me to just flip Claire over and claim her with my hard-on, I resisted. I took a deep breath, enduring the torture."I'll give you permission, Louis.""Wrong answer."Claire lifted her chin, smirking, "I'm calling the shots now, Louis. I don't need anyone's okay to do my thing. Now, unzip your pants."Damn!I stared into her eyes, undoing my trousers. My expensive suit ended up in a heap around my ankles."What's next?"Claire didn't answer. She glanced at me, then went down on me, her curls bobbing around my d.ick."Oh, f.uck!"As Claire's tongue worked its magic, I leaned back, trying to hold off the urge to e.jaculate.My tremble made Claire realize my weakness. The next moment, she took me in her mouth, making me harder than ever.My hard-on grew even harder between her constant swallowing, and
