---- But as his ears picked up the conversation, he exhaled in relief.
That wasnt the case.
Katherine lifted her eyes and met his gaze for a fleeting moment.
Elliots heart sank at the sheer indifference in those brown eyes before she swiftly looked away.
She was angryand with good reason.
Fuck, how the hell does one win over a wife? He had never had to charm anyone before.
"Duke of Everhart, come, come! Were about to start!" The host called him over to the mens section.
The event began.
It was a lottery board with numbers pairing men and women.
Each pair had until the following day to find a treasure for their partnerit could be a valuable gift, a favor, or even a request.
Since married couples also participated, the game was played with a degree of respect, though some singles used it as an opportunity for mischief.
Amassive golden board was brought to the center of the room, filled with multicolored spheres, signaling the start of the game.
One by one, women and men stepped forward to try their luck.
Bets were even placed on who would be matched with whom.
Amid the lively atmosphere, one pair of intense blue eyes never stopped watching a pair of brown ones that refused to spare him even a glance.
Elliot was growing restless, desperate to escape the crowd and speak with ---- her alone.
He needed to tell her that things with Brenda were overthat he would respect her as his wife.
"Tts the turn of our dear Duchess of Everhart! Come forward, Your Grace, and test your luck in the raffle!" Katherine was called, and she rose gracefully, walking toward the massive spinning board as it whirled faster and faster.

She looked gorgeous, stunning.
Despite having the same face as Rossella, Kath was something else entirelyher confident stride, her flirtatious smile, the way those damn voluptuous breasts bounced with every step hypnotized every man in the room.
Elliot decided then and therenext time, he would choose her dress himself.
No more revealing his property.
"Red ball, Duchess! Good luck!" Katherine returned to her seat.
More names were called.
Soon, it was time for some of the men.
She opened her red sphere and found the number 8.
At any moment now, the men would announce their numbers.
Katherine had a feeling.
---- She watched as Elliot stepped forward with absolute confidence, the giant spinning wheel still turning and turning.
She tried to catch somethinganythingbut couldnt.
Still, she knew.
