felt a chill of unease when Khloe mentioned teaching him a lesson. That single comment had filled him with dread, leaving him too afraid to act rashly. Over time, however, her lack of follow-through eased his fears. To Eric, her inaction was proof that she couldn’t bring herself to truly go against him. If she held back, there was still a chance for him to
