Chapter 126

"I am surprised you agreed to dance with me," Zach remarked with a curious look on his face.

"I had no other choice," Aria responded with the same thing as before.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Zach scoffed softly.

Aria looked into Zach's eyes with a flushed face and uttered in a low voice: "I belong to you."

Zach's heart skipped a bit after seeing and hearing that.

"As a servant," Aria then added.

'This is bad' Zach averted his face to the side as he continued dancing with Aria.

'This is truly bad. I am being charmed by her. I am getting attracted to her. I am falling in love with her.'

Aria noticed Zach was acting weird, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Zach responded without making eye contact with Aria.

Aria bit her lips and muttered, "Do you want to dance with Aurora that badly?"

"Huh? Why are you bringing up Aurora here?" Zach wondered with a puzzled look on his face.

Aria assumed Zach was acting distant because he didn't want to be with her. While in truth, Zach was acting like that because he was getting close to Aria.

"You don't want to dance with me, right?" Aria asked in a disdainful tone.

"What gave you that idea? If I didn't want to dance with you, then I wouldn't dance with you even for a second," Zach responded in a slightly annoyed voice.

It wasn't as though Zach was treating Aria indifferently, but he didn't want to break the boundaries of their relationship.

"You can hold me tighter" Aria uttered in a low voice with a flushed face.

Zach moved his hand further down and pulled Aria close to him. Now, their bodies were touching each other, and their faces were only an inch away from one another.

They could kiss anytime if they wanted.

Aria looked into Zach's eyes and asked, "Why did you defend me? You could have just stood there and watched. Besides, I would have handled it myself."

"There is no way I would have just stood there and let someone insult you. While we might not be a couple, you are still my wife. And I didn't kill him for that, I killed him because he touched you indecently," Zach asserted in a solemn voice without breaking his eye contact with Aria.

After hearing that
