"Klaus."
I gazed up at Sam. Huh? Blinking my eyes to see if I saw it correctly.
I did.
The side of Sam's lips curled into a smile — a twisted smile. Suddenly, I jolted back as a figure appeared before us.
But before I could step back further, a hand grabbed my hand. His grip was not too tight, but enough to keep me still.
Slowly, I gazed down. A man was kneeling before me, holding my hand. A pair of bright crimson eyes met mine without shying away.
His features were all in contrast. He had a slender face with a firm jaw. Sharp tufts of deep black hair that looked soft as silk.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my future sister-in-law. My name is Klaus Norrix La Crox. It's a pleasure to meet you, my sister-in-law." The corner of his lips hooked into a smile.
Klaus leaned in, trying to leave a kiss on the back of my hand as a greeting. However, before he could do so, he halted.
