Diane lifted her gown’s hem, gliding toward the stage.

Pausing by the piano, she glanced back at Blair with a deliberate smile

a smile meant for both Blair and Elvin.

Diane believed piano was her finest talent, certain this skill would captivate Elvin further.

Her offer to play served dual purposes: entertaining guests and catching Elvin’s attention.

Without a partner, Blair lost interest in dancing. Then his eyes landed on Bianca.

He froze for a moment before striding toward her.

Elvin stood protectively beside Bianca, his expression hardening as Blair approached.

Stopping before Bianca, Blair extended his hand, voice husky. “Care to dance?”

Bianca studied the offered hand–slender fingers, elegantly proportioned, strikingly beautiful.

Elvin watched silently, leaving the choice to her, both men awaiting her answer.

Seeing Bianca hesitate, Elvin felt needles pierce his heart. He slowly

clenched his fingers, nails digging into his palm.

He knew Bianca wouldn’t refuse Blair.

After all, she loved him so deeply.

Blair, too, felt certain Bianca wouldn’t turn him down.

She remained his wife. He remained her husband.

Whatever had transpired earlier, they hadn’t divorced. They were still husband and wife.

Davis and Graham also looked over, everyone wondering what Bianca would choose.

After a few seconds of silence, Bianca finally extended her hand.

Seeing this, Davis furrowed his brows with displeasure and concern.

Meanwhile, Graham had already started planning how to mock Davis.

Beside them, Elvin closed his eyes the moment he saw Bianca reaching toward Blair Avery.

Yet the next instant, Bianca pushed Blair’s hand away: “Sorry, Mr. Avery, I already have a partner.”

With that, she turned and slipped her hand through Elvin’s arm.

Feeling her touch, Elvin’s eyes snapped open.

Looking down, he saw Bianca’s hand resting in the crook of his elbow.

This time, she’d initiated it.

Elvin’s heart surged like a thousand crashing waves.

For that moment, everything felt dreamlike and unreal.

Davis promptly cheered: “Well played, Mrs. Johnson!”

Losing interest after Bianca rejected Blair, Graham turned to watch Diane’s performance.

Blair’s eyes darkened as he watched Bianca’s hand on Elvin’s arm, but he remained silent.

Once Blair walked away, Bianca tried to withdraw her hand.

But Elvin immediately pressed it firmly against his arm.

She turned to find him staring at her with red–rimmed eyes.

Amidst the swirling crowd, his gaze held only her.

Elvin lowered his head, voice rasping: “I took so many steps toward you. Each time, I talked myself out of it.”

He paused, flashing a roguish grin before declaring with absolute certainty:

“Bianca Watts, I’ve got you now.”

Elvin’s smile was like poison seeping into one’s soul.

Bianca looked at him, feeling herself nearly falling under its spell.

She quickly turned her face away, stepping out of his proximity.

What could a man like Elvin possibly want by saying such baffling things to her?
