When James stepped outside the corridor and then on the open balcony, Noah quickly walked towards his uncle and said,

"There is something I remember I had to talk to you about."

James's eyes had fallen upon Lady Anaya, whom he was familiar with, and for the briefest moment, his eyes fell on the woman with blonde hair next to her. Before Eve could turn to look at Vincent, Noah came to stand in front of the older werewolf, blocking his uncle's gaze from looking at Eve..

"What is it about?" James Sullivan asked, his voice was so low that Eve didn't grasp as Vincent stepped near her.

Noah said to his uncle, "It is about the case that was given about Russell's case."

"I thought Clayton closed it last week," James raised his eyebrows, and he craned his neck to the side as if more interested in Vincent.

Vincent and Eve were talking to Lady Anaya, where Vincent said, "Have the underneath skirt in satin, preferably everything satin as it is smooth under the touch--"

Eve kicked his foot so he wouldn't detail what he wanted to do after their wedding. She smiled at Lady Anaya, who tried to keep a straight face rather than look embarrassed. She said, "I think I will leave it in your good hands."

"Yes," Lady Anaya cleared her throat and said, "I will let you know as soon as I start working on the outer dress and see if it is what you want me to continue with. I will see you soon, Eve."

"Thank you again," Eve offered the she-wolf a bow, while Vincent placed a hand on her small back.

"It is my pleasure, Eve. I will try to do my best," Lady Anaya responded, and as they exchanged pleasantries, Noah and James stood with the side of their faces facing Vincent and the others there.

James returned to Noah, "Actually there was something I wanted to inquire about. About the latest bodies that were dug out from Darthmore," the man turned to look at Vincent.

Noah could feel trouble rising, and when he looked down at his uncle's shoes, he noticed the shoe's lace had come off. He pointed, "Uncle James, your shoe's lace is out. You should tie it lest you want to stumble with your steps."

James looked down at his shoe and clicked his tongue. Going to the side, he began to tie you. At the same time, Vincent and Eve had begun to leave, heading towards the exit. Eve offered a quick bow to Noah, along with a smile. While Vincent and Noah shook their hands, before stepping out of there.

Noah felt relieved when the couple left and his uncle returned, where Eve and his uncle didn't come across each other now. Lady Anaya stood afar, watching Noah and his uncle talking to each other, but she couldn't hear what they were talking about.

James said, "One of the bodies there, it was of a special human, did you get a hold of it and have it placed elsewhere?" He asked his nephew.

Though years had passed, Noah was aware of his uncle's obsession with certain things. And one of them was the woman he had slept with, a woman his uncle believed to be human, but Noah knew that Eve's mother was not a human since the body had gone under Vincent's investigation.

And even with the woman's death and the little girl had escaped years ago, Noah had seen and heard his uncle trying to find the little girl, whom he doubted that she was still alive, wanting to skin her alive and eat her after Eve's mother had blinded one of his eyes.

"Yes, the skeleton has been buried in another place which you wanted," Noah informed.

"The same skeleton?" His uncle confirmed as if he was in doubt about it.

"Yes, the same one," Noah replied.

James nodded in satisfaction and noticed Lady Anaya looking at him, and he offered a smile to the woman. But before Noah and James could step back inside, Eve appeared in front of them, and she quickly bowed,

"I forgot my handkerchief in here."

And at the same time, Eve and James's eyes met, staring into each other. Eve noticed the man's calm face, who stared at her with intrigue.

Eve quickly picked it up before waving at Lady Anaya. As she left the place, she couldn't help but turn to look at the man who stood with Noah.

She offered a bow, before leaving the place without a word as if she had never seen James before. But that was only because she didn't remember the man's face, and the voice that she believed to have remembered it had changed and disappeared as if like seasons bringing new things into it.

Once Eve was out of sight, James questioned Noah, "Who is that?"

Lady Anaya, who walked to where the two men stood, heard Noah reply with, "She is Lady Anaya's friend. Genevieve."

"Hmm, for a human she is stunning, isn't she," James remarked.

"She is indeed beautiful, and she is going to marry Mr. Moriarty," Lady Anaya informed the man, who raised his eyebrows at the information.

"How strange. A pureblooded vampire marrying a human when they know the vitality of the humans," James hummed and he then said to Noah, "I will talk to you later. Have a good time with Lady Anaya," patting his nephew's shoulder, he left the place.

Noah's tense shoulders didn't relax and his thoughts were disrupted by Lady Anaya, who said, "You keep introducing Ms. Barlow as my friend, do you hate the idea of it being known to others? Or is there another reason?" Asked the she-wolf.

Lady Anaya asked this because Noah had told his uncle was not meant to see Eve, yet when they did see each other, nothing had happened. It made her wonder what that was about.

"It is nothing," Noah's words sounded distant, before he offered her a polite smile that was enough for the woman to know that he didn't want to share about it. But at the same time, it only turned her that much curious. He said, "I will let you continue with your work."

"Don't you have anything to say about the news about them getting married?" Lady Anaya questioned.

"I don't think it would bring or change anything. It is best to not discuss matters that don't concern us, Lady Anaya," Noah's words were calm as he spoke, "Excuse me. I have work to do. I will see you at dinner," and the Duke left the place.

In the carriage that Vincent and Eve had gotten inside, which was now driven by Mr. Briggs, Vincent asked her, "Excited for your wedding gown and our marriage?"

Eve gave him a nod, "I am," and she smiled. She then asked him, "Did you find anything in the Sullivan's mansion?"

"Nothing," Vincent shook his head, "I couldn't sense anything in Noah's hands. The next best shot is to have Clayton check him. The man is known to read the internal energy one possesses."

Eve gave him a nod, "Okay."

After a few seconds, Vincent asked Eve, "Do you know that man who was with Noah earlier?"

Eve, who was looking outside at the town of Woodlock, turned to look at Vincent, "The man?"

Vincent gave a nod, "The one who is Duke's uncle. His name is James Sullivan. Did he seem familiar to you?"

Eve shook her head, "I don't think so. Why?"

"Was just curious," Vincent shrugged his shoulders.

Vincent offered a bright smile when she stared at him with questions in her eyes. Raising his hand up to her face, he pushed the piece of her hair behind her ear, he said, "My beautiful girl..." he drawled, and said, "How long has it been since you last took bath in the bath salts?"

"Five days, why?" Eve asked him.

"You should use it today. Take a good long bath, take your time and let your body and these sun lit rays of hair soak in warm water," Vincent hummed, "I would love to help you with it, but I have important work to do."

"I can manage it myself," Eve slightly glared at him.

"Don't worry, my darling. I know deep down you wish for what I want to do with you," Vincent caressed her cheek before lifting her chin with his finger, "There's no need to be shy," he brushed his thumb against her lips.

The little brushing moment left Eve's stomach in knots, and she felt him lean towards her.

Vincent's eyes fell on Eve's plump lips, and his hand that was on the side of her face, he let it slide down before he used his fingertips to brush against her neck. Just when their lips parted, he pulled back and said, "Seems like I forgot to be a gentleman. Pardon me."

Eve's eyes widened at Vincent's words, and she stared at him. He sat back in his place with his back against the seat. He then turned to look at her and asked, "Hm? What is it?"

Her lips parted to speak, but it closed before she opened and said, "Nothing."

The corner of Vincent's lips tugged, and he said, "If there's something you need... all you have to do is ask," as he said the words, there was mischief in his eyes.

Eve stared at him with her blue eyes, then said, "I don't think there's anything to ask, Mr. Moriarty," She licked her lips, noticing how Vincent's eyes followed the action, "I wouldn't want to ruin the good gentleman."

"I think that is already ruined," Vincent hummed, a wicked smile appeared on his lips. He then said, "Keep your room's window open today. I will come to visit you."

A night visit... Eve thought in her mind.
