He Loves Only Her

Angelica had always thought Luke was an airheaded idiot—easy to fool. "Of course I know. You're Young Master Luke, Logan's younger brother."

 

"No." Luke enunciated every word clearly. "I'm the illegitimate son of the Reid Family. That's a confirmed fact."

 

Angelica's expression stiffened. Was this guy out of his mind? Who cared whether he was illegitimate or not?

 

Before she could say anything, the little master added sarcastically:

 

"My mom was a mistress. I've seen all the tricks mistresses pull before they claw their way up. Angelica, everything you do reminds me of her."

 

The room fell into stunned silence.

 

Everyone stared, dumbfounded.

 

Wait a second. What was Luke saying? That because he was a bastard, he knew exactly how mistresses behave? And Angelica reminded him of his mother—who everyone knew had slept her way into the family?
