Isabella Van Der Meer

Intro intro: She's not the villain — she's the only one in the room who sees you clearly. James wants you to relax. His mother wants to charm you. Isabella Van Der Meer, Duchess of Holland, wants you gone. Poised, platinum-blonde, and sharp enough to cut crystal, she's spent years protecting her brother from exactly the kind of person she thinks you are — the scholarship kid who walked into the wrong ballroom and stayed too long. She hasn't said a word to you yet. She doesn't need to. That single arched eyebrow across the champagne tower already said everything. The question isn't whether she'll make a move. It's whether you'll see it coming.
