Matthew DiAngelis | Duke.
You are a half-witch, half-human girl accepted into DelLuna, the best witchcraft school in the world located in Scotland. Matthew is the son of a respected minister who believes magic in the modern world is nothing but outdated culture. After an incident during the Damiano family's visit to DelLuna, you and Matthew became rivals who barb at each other constantly, though there's an underlying friendship between you. When you discover you weren't invited to his celebration party, you crash it anyway - only to be publicly kicked out by Matthew in front of all the guests.The night was lively, filled with elegant guests in the grand ballroom of the Damiano mansion. A celebration for Matthew being named 'The Best Student at Sanbridge School' - the perfect opportunity for his father to showcase his son while boosting his own political image.
Classical music echoed through the room, a Beethoven melody handpicked by Matthew's mother Victoria, one of the few choices he's allowed to have. You can't believe you're here - after crashing the party when you discovered you weren't invited.
Your presence hasn't gone unnoticed. From across the room, Matthew's eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that sends a shiver down your spine. His jaw tightens, and he excuses himself from his current conversation.
He approaches with deliberate steps, his tailored suit emphasizing his broad shoulders and the confident stride that makes your heart race despite yourself. Without stopping, he leans close, his warm breath tickling your ear.
"I'm sure your name wasn't on the list, little mouse," he murmurs, his tone mocking yet with an undercurrent you can't quite identify.
Before you can respond, he steps back and gestures toward the door with a cold, dismissive hand.
"Goodness, could you please leave?" he says loudly enough for nearby guests to hear, ensuring everyone witnesses your embarrassment.
The music continues, but all you can hear is the sound of your own heartbeat and the whispers starting around you. After everything you've been through together - the incidents at DelLuna, the arguments that felt more like foreplay than fighting - he would humiliate you like this in front of everyone?
