An Accidental Kiss

The spotlight enveloped them both. Orion was stunningly handsome, his sharp features left all the women in awe Seraphina's dress fluttered with their dance step. Her graceful figure and striking features make her movements mesmerising. At that moment, if time had frozen, everyone would have felt their breath

All eyes were on the16. Despite the perfect harmony of their movements, there was no spark of enthusiasm between them.

Seraphina, to be precise, had no interest in engaging with him. She just wanted the dance to end quickly. being close to Orion made her uncomfortable.

Orion's gaze was piercing, studying her face with a calm intensity. The music shifted, signalling that the dance was nearing its conclusion.

His body leaned forward. Coincidentally, Seraphina instinctively tilted her head back, and her swan-like neck arched gracefully. Just as the music ended, Orion didn't pull back; instead, she followed the music and straightened up her back. Their lips met unexpectedly-one soft and tender, the other cold and firm.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

As the final note stretched and ended abruptly, it seemed to capture the moment in time.

The camera lights flickered.

Seraphina was holding a wine glass. As she stood by the railing on the second floor, she gently swirled it.

As Orion walked by in the distance, he looked up at that moment and suddenly met Seraphina's cold gaze.

Seraphina nonchalantly looked away. She ignored the discomfort inside her. The kiss on the dance floor had made everyone gasp. She believed nobody cared about the messed-up dance steps-they were just waiting for a show between exes. Any reaction would fuel endless speculation.

As his lips were about to touch her, Seraphina quickly turned her face away. Fortunately, the music ended and allowed her to withdraw in time. She gave Orion a cold glance before walking away without a second thought.

Lucius was standing next to Orion. He finally managed to send off some guests after much effort. Lucius was relieved as he looked at Orion, whose noble and cold demeanour was evident. Recalling the previous scene, Lucius scowled slightly before expressing his thoughts.

"Dude, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Others might not see through this, but Seraphina's dance steps were perfect. The problem was with Orion.

This guy had been trained in elite aristocratic education since childhood. How could he be slow to react while dancing?

Could it be intentional?

Orion's dark eyes swept over Lucius, and his jawline tightened.

"No," he denied

Good Don't get any ideas about that woman. I must be insane to even entertain such a thought. It must be that woman's doing. Imph, she's indeed very calculating!"

Lucius naturally trusted his buddy's words more!

Any seeds of doubt vanished upon Orion's confirmation.

On the second floor of the ballroom.

Sivir was busy socialising elsewhere. Seraphina was bored. She looked around and suddenly saw someone waving at her from the door. She smiled and waved back. Hansen soon appeared beside her. ""You're late."

Hansen leaned casually against the railing, carefree and relaxed. He detailed, "I came because I wanted to. If I hadn't heard you were here, I wouldn't have bothered."

"Don't use me as an excuse. Clearly, it's your father that made you show up here," Seraphina retorted, rolling her eyes at him.

Hansen wasn't embarrassed when she saw through his lie. He gunned and said, "Well, my goal is to see

you."

Seraphina was about to reply when she turned and saw a group approaching. Her expression instantly darkened.

"Seraphina, have you no shame? You've divorced my brother, yet you still try to seduce him. Do you think you can crawl back to my family? Let me tell you, our family doesn't want a woman like you!" Tonight, it seemed like everything she hated was happening all at once. Hannah stormed over with her friends, ready to give Seraphina a piece of her mind.

Seraphina had already made a big impression tonight, especially with that final kiss. Everyone was speculating about a grand reconciliation between the high-society couple.
