Chapter 94 - CLANK!!! (2/2)

Adam took the card that the old butler was holding without moving from his position.

It was a plain white card having golden borders with something typed on it in black.

'I know you are invited for today's party. Wear this dress. I chose it personally for you.'

”What dress?” Stella asked the old butler before Adam could.

”The card was delivered with a package, a big one. It seems to be a clothing rack which is covered with a black silk cloth. I think there's a dress under it.” The old butler replied to her politely.

”Who sent this?” This time, it was Adam who had asked the question.

”We don't know that. It was left at the entrance. After making sure that it didn't contain anything harmful, the guards brought it to the mansion.” The old butler replied.

”If it's a dress than it must be from Katherine.” Stella interrupted Adam's thought.

”Yeah! It seems like her.” Adam replied after a while as he eyes the card in his hand.

”Move the dress to Stella's room.” Adam asked the old butler as he passed the card back to him.

The old butler nodded and left the couple alone.

”So where were we?” Adam turned his head back to her once the old butler was out of his sight. His lips were curled up in a devilish smirk.

Before Stella could register the meaning behind his words, his lips crashed onto hers. Adam shifted his body such that he was hovering over her now. His one hand was holding both of hers, pinning them above her head, while the other one was supporting his weight as his lips hungrily sucked on to hers.

Adam was waiting in the living room for Stella. It had been almost twenty minutes now. He was sitting on a couch, tapping his right foot on the floor as he waited for her.

He was wearing a smokey gray checkered suit with a white button-down shirt and a black vest. The top two buttons of his shirt was undone, giving him a carefree yet majestic look. He was sporting a pair of matte black leather boots.

His one hand was resting on the back of the couch while the other one was on the arm rest, holding his phone as he was scrolling through his emails.

He was getting impatient was about to go upstairs when he heard the sound of heels clicking against the floor. He raised his head and was about to her for taking so long to get ready, but the words got stuck in his throat.

'ClLANK!!!' His phone slipped through his fingers, clattering against the marbled floor. The sound resonating in the quiet living room.
