Elysia frowned. “What’s your deal with Tarquin?”

“That’s none of your business, but rest assured it’s way closer than whatever you’ve got going with him. I bet you couldn’t even get a seat at Mr. Bradford’s Thanksgiving table.”

Elysia retorted, “So even if I confess, I can’t leave unharmed, right?”

Of course not! Once Elysia confessed, she would suffer even more! This was just the beginning; Oriana hadn’t even started playing hardball yet.
