Chapter 1248 - Blood

• “You would have refused, Evelyn!” Victor yells, slamming my kitchen door behind him as he stalks into the room behind me.
• We just spent the last half-hour shaking hands and smiling at people’s congratulations. I kissed my boys, laughed at Willard’s jokes about surprises, smiled for pictures, all the while seething on the inside, waiting for the moment when I could tear him apart.
• As soon as there was a break, I caught Victor’s eye. It wasn’t hard – he’s been waiting for this too. Without a word, we both stalked off towards my cottage.
