I didn't defend myself. There was nothing I could say that would justify my actions.

James's words echoed in my mind: only vengeance and justice for Lily could ever begin to redeem me in their eyes.

After Evelyn's strength was spent, I quietly rose to my feet. My gaze lingered on Olivia, who stood in the doorway watching the

scene unfold.
