Chapter 534
Nona stopped closer with light in her hand. When the light revealed the man’s fate, she drew a sharp breath. “Lord Osborne, is that really you?”
Michael was crouched in the rockery, his face flushed crimson…
His body was burning with feverish heat, his mind adrift in a hare.
Seeing Michael like this, Nona’s initial shock melted into a sly delight as realization dawned.
Nona thought with a sneer, ‘That useless Willow. She couldn’t even keep Michael with her.
Since heaven has given me this opportunity, I’d be a fool not to take it
“Your Lordship, what’s wrong? Let me help you back to your room, Nors said while slipping Michael’s arm over her shoulder and carefully helping him
to his feet.
Michael felt as if he’d been plunged into a fiory cauldron. He ripped at his collar in restless agitation.
He was too disoriented to recognize who was next to him. He only knew that someone was supporting him.
Michael slumped heavily against Nona, his full weight bearing down on her as they struggled back to the room
At that moment, Michael completely lost control. As soon as they entered the room, he grabbed Nona and dragged her onto the bed.
Nona clutched the covers and began trembling with excitement. She could hardly believe she’d landed herself in Michael’s bed with such astonishing
Once this night was through, she would be his woman.
Nona thought, ‘From now on, I’ll never have to be a servant again, and I’ll never have to put up with that bitch Willow’s abuse
“If I’m lucky enough, I will end up bearing Michael a child. Then, I’ll surely rise in status through my child!
However, just as Nona was lost in her blissful reverie, the cold edge of a dagger pressed against her throat
The razor–sharp blade pressed flush against her skin, sending a searing pain through her neck.
Nona froze in terror, her eyes filled with dread. “My Lord…
The lust in Michael’s eyes vanished, leaving only cold clarity.
Through gritted teeth, Michael fixed Nona with a deadly glare and growled, “Tell me everything you know right now. If you hold anything back, I swear I’ll end you!”
Nona was terrified out of her wits. She stammered, “Your Lordship, I have nothing to do with this. I know nothing, I swear…
Before she could finish her sentence, Michael pressed the dagger forward a fraction
Immediately, blood trickled down Willow’s neck. Terrified out of her wits, Nona abandoned all pretense of loyalty and sold Willow out.
She even revealed how, back at the duke’s estate, Willow had schemed against Athena and turned everyone against Albena
Nona even told Michae that Willow was faking being poisoned in the past.
