THE WIFE THEY BURIED
"My apologies for bumping into the most beautiful Varezian lady I've ever met. I'm Diego Salvatore, heir to the Salvatore empire."
"Mrs. Dela Cruz. My wife." Adrian's voice stayed flat, almost bored, but there was nothing boring about the grip that followed it. "And yes, she is breathtaking." His eyes found mine and the room around us seemed to disappear for a heartbeat as his gaze lingered, steady and unreadable. There was no softness I could name, yet something in the way he looked at me made my pulse falter.
"We should move on," he added politely, already steering me away. "Enjoy the evening."
