I spaced out only for a second, but John was already next to Seraphina, kissing the back of her palm and looking at her with a charming smile that told me how dangerous she is.

Damn it!

I schooled my features and decided to introduce myself.

As I approached John and Seraphina, I heard her ask, "Your father is not here?"

I thought that I just heard something important. It seems that my father doesn't approve of Seraphina.

I will show John how fake this heiress is.

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Why am I out of breath? What is going on?
