"I will carve your heart out… and no one will ever know you're gone."
Emma's shoulders stiffened as her neck grew taut, staring wide-eyed at the person before her. The first time she saw Ashley, she had looked so unassuming that Emma had mistaken her for a maid.
The second time was when she watched the trio from afar. Emma had thought then that Ashley was truly a warm person, and she understood why Primo and Lucian were drawn to her. A kind-hearted person like her was like a flame to moths.
But now, she could feel a sense of dread creeping up her spine.
Ashley was not taller than her, and yet she felt herself shrinking under her gaze. Her shoulders trembled as her heart thudded. The person standing before her was just as dangerous as Lucian. Perhaps more.
Ahh…
Emma nodded inwardly with the realization.
I forgot this woman is not just Luka's wife. She's… she's the madam of this cursed Dominion.
