Annette POV

“Elizebeth,” I turned around to go and run out as she went past and comfort her but my husband grabbed me from behind.

“She won’t want to speak to anyone. She probably feels incredibly naive and stupid,” he told me.

She shouldn’t the level–headed rational woman had loved and loved deeply and she didn’t attempt to look for a fault where there wasn’t any. He had used that against her.

“Let me go,” I told him. “Everyone stay here.

I followed her and grabbed her arm. “This way,” I told her. I brought her to the bunker beneath the keep. It was soundproof.

“Never have never will,” I nodded to her. “How do you want to do…. what goes on from here? I believe you want the honest truth?” I asked.

“I do,” she gave a curt nod.

“He won’t make the next day. Grayson will execute him and I have no doubt Jessica as well. Do you want to be there or

“I do. Not because I want to wat–7 she huffed in a breath. “I know what will be said of me if I don’t go,”

“Understood,” I agreed. “I’ll do my best to let you keep your house as long as you can but it’s the delta’s house and 1
