Chapter 314 - 311: While She Was Sleeping I (1/2)
Geoffrey felt that the sofa in the drawing room was not a fitting venue for what he has planned on doing to Serena that night. Although he was decided, he did not want her to find out what he did just yet. He knew she won't publicly announce it, but he has no guarantee that she won't alert Charlton, who he wanted to catch off guard, and her family, who were still somewhat useful.
He knew that Charlton's current influence and power as the Marquis of Suffox was nothing to scoff at. Charlton has many people on his side. When it comes to politics, he knew that he could turn those people who admires him against him, for which human do not feel any sense of jealousy nor envy? However, his main concern was grand duke Charles who was also a war hero. If he wants to take Charlton down, he must take care of that deep rooted tree first.
It would not be that difficult as his father already hated the man. All he had to do was find something to incriminate him and if he could not, then he could of course, simply produce one.
Another matter he considered was that Leonard would not be coming back to the capital for another 2 weeks. During those times, he could still play with her again and again like what she did to him.
Then, another devious thought came to his mind. If he gets her pregnant along the way, won't that even be an even better gift to his cousin?

Geoffrey has a good physique with his own military training. Thus, carrying Serena all the way to her bedroom was not difficult. The halls have been emptied, and only the servant whose loyalty was to him, was walking with them. The servant, who was called Mrs. Mildred, was the housekeeper of the ducal mansion. She was the undisputed head of the female staff; thus, it was not difficult for her to handle everyone else in the mansion.
”Go find out when Serena bled last and do not enter this room until I tell you so.” Geoffrey instructed as he laid Serena down on the bed.
”Yes, your highness.” Mildred replied as she bowed her head, then she left the room.

The effect of the drug that Serena ingested was that it causes extreme drowsiness (or blackouts), confusion, impaired motor skills, impaired judgement, and reduced level of consciousness. It also causes ”anterograde amnesia” which makes it hard to remember what happened while on the drug. It has a sedative effect, its action appearing 15 to 20 minutes after administration, and lasts approximately four to six hours.
Serena laid there on the bed. Blissfully unaware of what would be transpiring that night. The room was dimly lit by the lamps and Geoffrey stood beside the bed staring at her sleeping form. She was laying on the soft white sheets, her hair a rich gold spilling on the pillow. Her finely arched brows sat above closed eyelids while her lashes settled against her flush cheekbones. Her lush cupids' bow mouth that has uttered so many lies had lips tinted the color of deep rose. They stood in sharp contrast to her pale skin and golden tresses.
He tore his gaze from her perfect features, catching the rise and fall of her chest from the corner of his eyes. His mouth went dry. Despite the fact that he was there to confirm her betrayal, he would not deny that he has longed to touch her for a long time.
