Chapter 10

Declan walked into his house, and his personal phone started ringing. He groaned and ignored it while he poured himself some whiskey. He sat on the couch, and the phone rang again straight after it ended.

"What!" He yelled into the phone without checking the caller ID.

"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" A cocky voice replied.

"Ryan, what do you want?" Declan asked and rolled his eyes.

"I'm hosting a masquerade ball tomorrow evening. I noticed you have not responded to my invite yet. So I decided to phone and tell you to check your email." He replied.

"Why would I attend such a thing?"

"Oh, so I can meet your new fiancé, of course. I want to see the lovely lady that stole your heart… I mean seed." Ryan chuckled.
