Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Oh, yes one more thing. I do not stink like others. I smell like honey!" The giggle on the face of Evan was like a dagger that was digging deep into Aurora's heart.

Her blood boiled with rage! "Stinky! Who the hell is stinky? You! How dare you call me stinky? You just wait! I.. I will make sure you suffer for the insult you have done to me!" her sentences were incoherent as her chest started heaving up and down. She was mad at the couple who kept calling her ugly and stinky!!

Evan just spared a glance at Aurora nonchalantly and asked, "are you done? Then go and plan how you will take revenge. My hubby and I are feeling sleepy." her hands moved to his waist as she held him possessively.

"....." Leo turned stiff in an instant. His senses were already turning dull and now Evan's words and proximity were creating havoc in his body and heart. He was holding the last thread of his sanity but the way she called him hubby intimately and her soft and tender hands moved to his waist, broke it completely. He wanted to take her then and there.

"You!" Aurora was stump for words. Her nails were digging deep into her skin but she could not do anything to Evan except giving death glare as she had to maintain her persona as a weak and demure lady.

But before she could snap and show her real face, Leo jerked Evan away and took a few deep breaths as if he was suffocating.

Evan's heart sank when she was casted aside so abruptly.

Did he not realize that she was trying to save him only?

Aurora smirked at the turn of events and took the wine from the table again. She walked and sat on the other side of the sofa while swirling the wine in her hands with a smirk on her face.

Now Leo was sandwiched between two beautiful ladies who were claiming their right over him. Yet the smell and touch was making him too sensitive that his sense of judgement was colluding.

"See, even he did not believe in your blabber. Now it would be better that you leave. Besides asking for rights, what have you done for him? He was so tired and I was giving him a message and you are disturbing that." her eyes were like a ferocious tiger when she glared at Evan.

But when she turned to look at Leo, her eyes were filled with seduction, "Leo, ask her to go and have some wine with me. I know you are in pain. Trust me, I will help you in feeling better." she tried to cup his cheeks but he held his face with his both hands and her hands stifled in mid air.

"...." not even once in her mind, Evan thought that Leo would not believe in her. As she was telling the truth, she took it for granted that he would stand by his side. But now she was not sure anymore. But that did not mean she would give up!

"Leo, even if you like the girl there, I will not let you drink wine or eat the food." her tone was demanding as she gazed straight into his eyes with her clear eyes.

"Tsk! Do you have any proof? You are just trying to ruin my reputation as revenge because I was the one who told my aunt about her lost earrings." Once Aurora gained confidence that Leo was not at Evan's side. Her words became clearer and strong. "And how shameless you could be, Leo had pushed you away with a sour face, yet you are trying to linger closer to him. Do you even have any self respect or not?" Aurora knew that if she was flared up, she would leave the room as she was too short tempered. All she needed was to flare her!

Evan's eyes narrowed and she stood up abruptly, drinking a smug look on Aurora's face. but instead of standing up and leaving, she walked towards the table and poured another glass of wine.

She took the wine glass and placed it in front of Aurora. "Since you are sure that the wine is fine. I want you to drink it." Once finished, she folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at Aurora with narrowed eyes.

"......." the color of her face changed but she did not take the glass from Evan, taking a deep breath, she controlled her emotions as she asked again, "why would i listen to you? Who are you to demand that I drink? Huh?" Her voice was equally sharp as she glared at Evan for ruining her night.

"Why? Didn't you say that you are here to spend the night with Leo and urging him to drink again and again. Then why are you afraid of drinking it?" Evan raised her brow with a smirk on her face as if she had already won the battle.

Leo would only be a fool if he could not deduce the truth by looking at Aurora's hesitated and pale face.

"I am not drinking because I do not like to drink wine!" Aurora retorted as she looked at Leo with meek eyes, "Look at her presumptuous behavior! She is forcing a lady to drink wine." her tone was turned aggrieved again as if she was bullied badly by the inappropriate demand of Evangeline.

"Ha! As a lady you do not drink wine then what about the wine you have drank in your room the other night? Were you not lady that time or have your choices changed because you know that the wine had been tempered. I am warning you, if you will not drink wine now, I will shout and collect the whole family. Then you have to explain all this to each one of them. And at that time, not only wine but food would be served for inspection too"
