The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1703

Timothy had said before, that the girl had the voice of an angel, a name as melodious as her voice, strikingly beauty, and can handle a car like she was born to race.

Could he be talking about his fiancée?

Except for his fiancée, in his twenty-something years of life, he couldn't recall meeting another girl who was so stunning. Every single trait Timothy mentioned matched his fiancée to the letter.

So, he's got the hots for Bella?

Was it the surprise and unconcealed disappointment in Timothy's face that gave it away? Because he knew that Bella was his fiancée?

No wonder Timothy had downed half a cup of iced coffee earlier to calm his nerves after finding out who Bella was.

"How long have you been eyeing my fiancée?" Romeo suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Trying to make a move on my girl, huh?"

"What are you talking about?" Timothy was caught off-guard by his sharp observation and forced a laugh, "I mean, sure, she is stunning, one of a kind, and drives like a pro."

"How do you know about her driving skills?" Romeo zeroed in on that detail with a dangerous glint in his eye, "You've seen her drive?"

"I, uh, I just chanced upon a car race that day. Some poor loser couldn't beat her and started accusing her car of being rigged. I just spoke up for her, that's all."

"So, you fell for her right then and there?" Romeo asked, a realization dawning on him.

He didn't even know his little firecracker was racing.

She kept it a secret from him.

It must have been too dangerous; otherwise, she would have told him.

With these thoughts, his gaze drifted past the floor-to-ceiling window, fixing on the girl inside.

Arabella was still unaware of the significance of that gaze.

A thought crossed Romeo’s mind: “Making moves while I’m away on business, she's definitely in for a bit of ‘punishment.’ ”
