Blake’s POV

I instinctively tightened my grip around her shoulders, anger rising as I looked at her reddened face.

“Audrey Sinclair, you’ve gone too far!” I said.

Audrey rubbed her palm, eyes hard above her mask. “Have I? Wasn’t it Miss Rose who invited me to hit her?”

She tilted her head. “Are you satisfied with those slaps, Miss Rose?”

Laurel shook against me. “I didn’t mean it like that. I only meant if I had actually done something wrong…”

“Oh?” Audrey cut in. “So you were just saying empty words, not expecting me to take you up on it?”

“I clearly said if I had done something wrong,” Laurel’s voice quavered. “But I haven’t done anything wrong, yet you slapped me anyway.” She looked up at me. “Blake darling, you have to defend me…”

I studied Audrey, seeing none of the gentleness she’d shown during our marriage.
