Annette.

"And what are you doing here?"

A sudden voice behind her startled her.

She looked behind her to see Aiden standing there with his arms crossed.

Annette turned back and kept her gaze at the flowers fluttering by the wind.

"I couldn't sleep."

She answered.

He came and sat beside her , taking off his jacket and covering her with it.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He asked.

She looked at him.

"I....am nervous about the ball....."

She said in a small voice.

Aiden made her rest her head on his shoulders as he caressed her hair gently.

"You don't have to be nervous. I'll be there with you."

"I'm worried about Lady Emily Keiran."

She couldn't stop the words from her mouth and bit her lip.

Aiden turned his head to look at her.

"Are you worried that she might do something to you or are you worried that she's gonna try to seduce me?"

Annette flushed deep red and quickly sat straight to glare at him.

"Aiden!!"

He chuckled.

"What?? I won't even look at the other ladies if that's what you want....I'll even cover my face if you want."

He winked at her and traced her face with his fingers , caressing every part gently.

She sighed and held his hand to her forehead and closed her eyes.

"I don't think I can do this."

And as soon as these words had left her mouth , she found herself in his arms.

His face was buried in the crook of her neck.

"You can do it Annette. I believe in you. Please.......just..... don't leave me."

"I won't."

Aiden

He opened his eyes as Blake came in the room and opened the curtains.

Aiden groaned and got up to get ready for the day.

"Blake."

"Yes?"

"Can you investigate Marquis Keiran's daughter?"
