The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"And oh," Lisa stopped just before he could open the door. "Please... don't let anyone else know about the conditions that we have talked about tonight." He said before walking out of the Grand Duke's office.

...

When Jennie woke up the next day, Lisa was already sleeping silently next to her. She smiled as she poked his face. "Hey, what time did you arrive last night? You didn't even wake me up."

Her soft voice stirred him awake. "About eleven in the evening." He responded, his eyes half-closed. Yawning, Lisa pulled her closer, making his arm her pillow, her back against his chest. "Too early. Let's sleep a little more." He said.

"It's already eight in the morning. The Grand Duke just sent someone to get us for breakfast. Taehyung is already waiting for us downstairs."

"That man doesn't sleep. Let him wait a little bit longer." His soft voice echoed behind her ears. She giggled in response.

"You are bullying my brother."

"Am not."

"Yes, you are!" She smiled. "I am not going to allow you to bully him."

He gave a low chuckle. "Alright. We should not let him wait that long." The two immediately prepared for breakfast as Lisa started telling Jennie about what he did before he went to her room.

"Why would you provoke him?" she asked. She always knew that her husband is a very reasonable man. There is no way that he would just do it because of an address. "And fiance? Really? How would you know this?"

"I am helping him and Harringfort being your fiance actually makes sense if you consider your age."

"I am the same age as Mikaela."

"But she is already married. My guess is, this engagement had long been decided before the child was even born. If your grandfather became the kind, there is a possibility that you would be Harringfort's fiance."

Jennie nodded. His explanation is indeed reasonable. "And what about your demands to the Grand Duke?"

"Reasonable for the information that I hold."

For a few seconds, Jennie paused and stared at her husband's eyes before she silently nodded before quickly switching the topic. "There will be a banquet tonight and I would meet a few noble families." She knew that Lisa does not want to talk about what he talked to the Duke, at least not when they are not in their territory.

"I already prepared a dress- "

"Surprisingly, Princess Mikaela offered me a dress last night. She had been pregnant and she had attended events before. She said she had the perfect dress for me. Something that she never wore." Jennie interrupted him. "But... I agree. Asked Seulgi to bring the dress inside the room."

Who knows what kind of evil scheme would that Pierre Weber pulls off?

Her words made her husband smile. "Here, I got this for you." He said as he handed her a tablet. "The people that you might meet tonight."

"You- you asked Taehyung to hack into the- "

"No, I didn't. I don't need his help in doing such a simple task." Lisa said as he helped her with her dress. Did Jennie forget that he too can hack computers? True, he might not be as efficient as Taehyung but he can always do it as long as he had the time- something that Taehyung always has.

Jennie nodded as she started reading about the nobles that might attend the banquet and some of their dirty little secrets that Lisa found about them.
