Even though Stella knew he wasn’t going to hit her, the aura Victor gave off was so overwhelming that she instinctively shrank back into Abraham’s arms.

Victor took the phone. It had already disconnected.

Clearly, when Tessa couldn’t reach Victor, she’d called Stella instead.

Tessa’s voice trembled through the line.
