Chapter 555
== E07,
PIG VS DUKE KATHERINE Iclutched my nose, on the verge of tears from the pain, and looked up to see the wall |
had crashed into.
Aman, well over six feet tall, with powerful muscles beneath his white shirt, which had a few buttons undone,
revealing his sexy chest.
The black tunic with silver embroidery draped over him made him look even more imposing.
looked like a tiny thing at barely five foot three, standing in front of him.
His blue eyes locked onto me, so intense that | started feeling nervous, fearing he might suspect something.
The scent of his colognemasculine, with hints of bergamotstung my nose, dominating my senses.

What are you doing? he asked in a deep, cold voice, that rough, authoritative undertone unmistakable.
I took a step back; we were too close.
I needed to be cautious.
This man...
this man screamed danger from every angle.
Waiting for Your Lordship to dine, | replied curtly, turning on my heel and returning to my seat.
The truth was, | wanted to challenge him, but the real Rossella wouldnt have.
Talso considered leaving, but my stomach wouldnt allow it.
Thad done far worse for a hot meal than sit through dinner with this ill----- mannered Duke.
He took his place, seated far from the outcast, and finallythank the heavensthe carts carrying the food arrived.
When the scent of the meat-laden broth and freshly baked bread hit me, | forgot my own name.
| devoured the chunks of pork floating in the oily liquid with a fury.
«..mmm, so tender, it melts in the mouth...» late with delight, ignoring everything around me, nearly licking the
porcelain clean.
Were you starving in your familys home? | froze when his voice spoke again.
Damn, | had forgotten about the Duke.
Ireached for my wine glass with deliberate graceafter eating like a pig and took a sip, helping the bread stuck in
my throat go down.
Dinner started over an hour ago, Your Lordship, | met his gaze with reproach | was a little hungry, thank you for
asking.

Im finished now; if you Il excuse me.
Good night.
And with that, | dabbed my mouth with the napkin and stood, not sparing him another glance.
Icould have sworn he was frowning, and the butlers expression was a masterpiece.
If he didnt want to see me, | wouldnt force him with my presence.
How dare you leave before the Duke has finished dining? Suddenly, the butler blocked my path as | was leaving.
