Chapter 40

• Ivy sat there, long after Victor had left, her mind still reeling from their conversation. She couldn't shake the feeling that he'd seen right through her, that he knew her secrets.
• Her thoughts kept drifting back to him, to the way he'd looked at her with such intensity, such possessiveness. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she remembered the way he'd said, "We're not over this, Ivy."
• She tried to focus on her work, but her eyes kept drifting back to the door, wondering when he'd return, wondering what would happen next.
