Chapter 908 – For Yourself
Meanwhile, near the pillar, Ariel stood.
She had already come out of the restroom a while ago.
Long enough that she probably should've walked back already.
Long enough that someone else normally would've dragged her into the chaos by now.
But she stayed there.
Frozen.
Watching.
The mansion lights painted the lounge in warm gold and crimson shadows while music drifted softly through the room. The girls laughed. Pillows flew occasionally. Mira was currently half sprawled across Lux while trying to seduce him and failing because somehow Lux kept turning every interaction back around on them.
And Lux looked good.
Too good.
Ariel hated that part.
The confidence.
The laugh.
The way he lounged there shirtless and ruined while still somehow looking like he could negotiate a kingdom collapse between kisses.
The way women naturally gathered around him.
The way he looked at them.
Not just lust.
Attention.
Care.
Interest.
Lux noticed people.
