Charming her

"Oh? Did we decide on wine?" 

Luciana ignored Cardan's words as she grabbed his hand and dragged her out of the room, leaving Esme and Leo behind. 

He let himself be dragged by her and she was not feeling thankful about it. 

She did not stop walking until they were inside his room. The pond water sparkled in the starlight and the water reflected on the crystal chandeliers. 

Despite the peaceful ambiance, all Luciana could see was violence. 

The man was getting on her nerves. 

Letting go of his hand, she closed the door behind herself and looked at him, ''What is it that you want from me?" she asked him coldly.

Luciana expected Cardan to drop his facade now, to be offended by her rudeness, and maybe make an attempt to kill her or worse, torture her. 

But she was not scared by any of that. 

What scared her more was a man she could not comprehend. Intentions hidden so deep that she could not gauge through them.
