Sometimes, a single word is enough to erase the torment of waiting. Sometimes, a single gesture is enough to restore lost confidence.Isabella poured tea into two plain cups and placed them on the dining table. The rough wooden surface, cracked with age, did not match the graceful movements of her hands. Opposite her, idly twirling an aluminum spoon between his fingers, sat Damian.“Are you sure you want to talk here?” he asked, letting his gaze sweep over the tiny kitchen.Isabella nodded.“Jane is asleep,” she replied calmly. “I don’t want to wake her.”Damian silently accepted her decision. He picked up his cup and took a small sip, never taking his eyes off her.Isabella no longer seemed troubled. Four days of anxiety were behind her; now her confidence once again wrapped around her like a sturdy shield.“I looked into your title,” Damian began, setting his cup aside. “The barony of Alliste hasn’t been generating income for a long time.”Isabella gave a restrained smile.“Four yea

The human mind is a remarkable thing. It can find a way out of the most difficult situations, anticipate several moves ahead, and conceal emotions behind a mask of indifference. But sometimes, even the most perceptive people find themselves at a loss. That was exactly what happened to Jack.The Duke of Hartess’s secretary was a composed man, accustomed to handling financial reports, conducting business correspondence, and keeping his master’s schedule in order. But none of his skills could help him now.A child. A member of the Hartess family. Or perhaps an impostor?The thought circled in Jack’s mind, refusing to let him rest. He tried to predict what Damian’s next move would be, but as always, the duke remained unreadable. Sitting in his office, he silently drank bourbon, gazing absently into the darkness beyond the window.“What is he thinking? What decision will he make?”Jack didn’t know. But he knew one thing: when Damian stayed silent for too long, it never led to anything good

Not everyone appreciates having their peace disturbed by an unexpected visitor.Take Damian, for instance—he firmly believed in the saying: “Uninvited guests rarely receive a warm welcome.” A month ago, when his Aunt Marie paid him a visit, pleading for his help in securing a place for her son at the Royal Academy of Arts, he refused, citing the woman’s lack of courtesy. Or just last week, when Thomas—his late brother’s friend—knocked on his door in the dead of night, begging for a loan to pay off his debts to moneylenders, swearing he would return it once he won back his losses. And then, of course, there was poor Lucy Barnes, who had accused the former Duke of assault and demanded a hefty compensation at the very beginning of this entire story.Out of all his uninvited guests, Isabella was the most persistent—and that irritated Damian. But at the same time, it intrigued him.On the first day she appeared at his estate, he had been too drained after dealing with Lucy Barnes and turne

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. For instance, today, Isabella left her house without an umbrella. She only realized she needed one when she stepped out of the bakery, drenched in cold water hurriedly carried by a passing waiter. Meanwhile, a man walking by, shielding himself from the rain with a newly purchased newspaper, stumbled and fell face-first into the mud.Holding a bag of poppy seed buns she intended to gift to the Lancaster estate’s butler, Isabella glanced up at the sky. The rain showed no signs of stopping. With a heavy sigh, she stepped back inside the bakery and sat at an empty table.“I need to hurry,” she suddenly thought.This week alone, she had visited the duke’s residence three times, and three times she had been turned away for various reasons. But she was not one to give up so easily. The only positive outcome of her visits was the butler’s growing favor. During her time waiting at the estate, they had engaged in pleasant conversations, and on her last vis

The man sat with his long legs crossed, leaning back into the black leather chair.Fingers gloved in white tapped rhythmically against the armrest while the young girl standing before him nervously fidgeted with the hem of her newly purchased blue dress—bought specifically for this visit to the duke’s estate.Damian, however, sitting there and waiting for something remotely interesting to happen, was bored to death.The girl had likely imagined that she would quickly voice all her grievances, complaints, and indignations, take her monetary compensation, and just as swiftly leave the estate. But the moment she stepped into Damian’s study, accompanied by the butler, and laid eyes on the striking, stately, and undeniably charismatic man before her, she instantly forgot why she had come.“Well?”Damian looked at his uninvited guest with a questioning gaze, his eyes betraying a complete lack of interest in the entire situation.“Well… well. I wanted to…”Damian cut her off with a casual wa
