Belinda nearly chuckled at the accusation. “Kristopher is your fiancé?” She recalled how, just the previous night, Kristopher had used Fred’s safety as leverage, pressing her to persuade Anthony to consent to their engagement. Earlier that day at Cox Manor, Kristopher had also reminded her of their arrangement.
