Under the Veil I Rule

As Dorian stood up, grabbing his keys and heading for the door, Elysia blocked his path. "Hold on just a minute! Where do you think you're going?"

Dorian met her gaze with a cold, silent stare.

"You're going to see that woman, Jessica, at the hospital, aren't you?" Elysia exclaimed, her voice rising with anger. "I won't let you go!"

She knew Jessica was lying in a hospital bed, and the rapid-fire typing she'd heard from Dorian earlier had been him messaging her. There was no way she was letting him leave.

Dorian shook off Elysia's hand and went back inside to grab a pair of pajamas and some slippers. Elysia tried to snatch the clothes from him. "What are you doing with those? Planning to stay overnight?"

"Let go, I'm going to stay with Jessica," he replied, his voice as icy as ever.

It was true; he was going to see that woman!

Elysia's eyes blazed with fury. "I told you, you can't go. I won't allow it."

Dorian pulled away again, his tone even colder. "Let go of me. If you keep this up, we're getting a divorce."

His words struck Elysia like a bolt from the blue, leaving her frozen in place.
