His eyes flicked briefly toward Ashley. “The Hawk family’s young miss. I’ve heard of you p>
Ashley straightened nervously, palms sweating. “Hello, hello-I’m Ashley, Lillian’s best friend.” For reasons she couldn’t explain, this man’s presence made her feel even smaller than when she stood in front of her own brother.
Sebastian’s gaze swept the room, sharp and cold. “I thought I heard someone suggest stripping my fiancée. Who was it? I’d like to meet them p>
Stella blanched. In all her years navigating Kingston’s social circles, she had met countless powerful men, but none with an aura like his. She dared not admit a word.
