Chương 98: I am glad my father died...

Lyla.

After I was done greeting the last of the guests, I and my mother and sister made our way into the hall. I took a deep breath as I entered, scanning the room for my seat. To my dismay, I noticed that my assigned spot was next to Ramsey.

My heart sank as I scanned the rows of chairs, looking for an open one but the only one available was the one next to Ramsey.

Steeling myself, I walked over. He sat straight and dignified, his amber eyes catching my movements as I approached. Nodding to me slightly, he acknowledged me, his gaze lingering a beat too long or maybe it was my imagination.

I settled on the space and tried to concentrate, to ignore him but the heat radiating from his presence next to me was impossible to miss. As our thighs brushed, an electric jolt passed through me pooling in my lower belly, making it hard to focus on anything else.
