Chapter 112

Compared to the pale blue gown Curtis had given her last time, tonight's dress lent Victoria an air of regal elegance and quiet mystery.

The moment she lifted her gaze, soft moonlight spilled across her delicate features, making her breathtakingly beautiful-so much so that she seemed almost unreal.
