Chapter 121

• "Half cup granulated sugar, three-quarter brown sugar, one teaspoon salt, half cup unsalted butter, one egg, one teaspoon vanilla extract, one and a quarter cups of all-purpose flour, half teaspoon of baking soda, milk and dark chocolate chunks" Emilia recited.
• She had everything she needed to make chocolate chip cookies. Max would be back soon and she was going to surprise him with them. Mel had done almost all the chores, Gwen and TC were babysitting Gaby, Doug was nowhere to be seen and Thea was probably busy looking for Lisandra. With nothing left to do, she had decided to keep herself busy by baking. Even though Max had put a price on Lisandra's head, it didn't mean they were going to find her tomorrow or the day after. She could have left the country already. Whoever helped her escape from prison could have whisked her away to another place where they would never find her.
• Or she could be lurking around her house waiting for the best time to pounce. Either way, Emilia wasn't going to worry herself over that woman. She'd done enough worrying already. In the nine years she had been separated from Max, she had spent a lot of time wondering what her husband saw in that witch. Why he'd allowed her in his bed and if he'd fallen in love with her. She had even resorted to stalking them once. For someone to have that kind of power over her, especially someone she hated was crazy. It had to be because she'd let them into her life.
