Chapter 6 - Kneeling beside a weeping wife in a maid's uniform, a fierce husband exposes the dark truth of domestic imprisonment inside a luxury estate.
Julian ignored the frantic socialite entirely, turning his back on the staircase to focus solely on the fragile woman kneeling on the floor.
He quickly dropped to both knees on the hard marble, paying no attention to the damp red cleaning cloth or the silver bucket nearby.
Opening his arms wide, Julian wrapped them tightly and protectively around Elena, pulling her shaking body against his crisp white shirt.
Elena sobbed into his shoulder, her small hands clutching the lapels of his dark navy suit as all the pent-up terror of months released at once.
"I'm here now, my love; you are safe," Julian whispered fiercely, his voice softening into an infinite tenderness reserved only for her.
He glared back up toward the staircase with deadly, unyielding intent, fixing his dark eyes on the paralyzed antagonist trapped above them.
"You imprisoned my wife in her own home," Julian stated, his voice ringing with a controlled, lethal fury that shook the mansion's foundations.
A dramatic string swell echoed in the background as the emotional weight of Helena's sadistic cruelty settled heavily over the entire grand foyer.
Helena pressed her back against the wooden banister, realizing that no amount of money, lawyers, or high-society influence could save her now.
