Chapter 2 - Roman Exposes Evelyn’s Cruel Actions on the Big Screen
Evelyn Hart swept her hand through her golden hair with practiced casualness.
Her silk robe whispered against the polished wood of the grand staircase as she descended.
“Roman, darling, why are all these people standing around like they’re waiting for an execution?” she asked, offering a bright, dismissive laugh.
Not a single staff member laughed or even shifted their weight on the marble floor.
Roman did not turn around to greet her immediately.
He stood beside a massive digital screen that had been lowered from the ceiling of the great hall.
“Step closer, Evelyn,” Roman said, his voice terrifyingly quiet in the cavernous space.
Evelyn stopped on the third step from the bottom, her blue eyes narrowing in sudden suspicion.
“What is this little production? Is this some kind of ridiculous staff meeting?” she demanded, crossing her arms.
“It’s a review of property management,” Roman replied, his slate-gray eyes locking onto hers.
He clicked a remote control in his palm.
