Aria's POV
Andre's voice cut right in immediately Lucian finished his statement.
"If Aria has to live under these conditions," he said, stepping forward so he was almost nose-to-nose with Lucian, "it's better off I take her home with me right now."
The air in the living room turned to ice.Lucian's head snapped toward Andre so fast I thought I heard his neck crack and for more than a second, no one moved.
Then Lucian laughed in mock-horror. "You think I'm going to allow you take my wife anywhere?"
Andre didn't flinch. "She's not your prisoner, Voss. She's pregnant and exhausted. You just told her she's confined to the east wing like some unwanted guest. If you can't treat her like a human being let alone your wife then yes,I'm taking her out of here."
Lucian's eyes were filled with rage at this point.He took one step forward towards Andre who squared his shoulders, ready.
I moved immediately and shoved myself between them,my palms laying flat against Lucian's chest.
