Chapter 42 Forty Two

• In addition to professing his love for me in front of Mom, Desmond had asked her about my aunt, Jane Astor. She and her husband were the root of all our problems. Visiting and confronting them in their territory was Mom’s wish before those spawns of the devil put her in a coma.
• As per Desmond, it was time to come face to face with our real enemy. The masterminds behind all the demonic attacks and misery my family had faced in years.
• Although it was the plan all along, my heart couldn’t help but flutter at the way he had phrased it. Desmond had tied his willingness to help us in every dangerous situation to his love for me. And he was not afraid to declare it to my mother.
