Chapter 16 - Roman Catches Evelyn Violating Her Strict Banishment Order
Before Evelyn could swing the heavy candlestick downward, the nursery door clicked open with terrifying silence.
Roman stood in the doorway, his silhouette blocking out the dim hallway light like an impending executioner.
Evelyn froze mid-swing, the metal slipping from her trembling fingers and crashing loudly against the wooden floorboards.
Lily woke up crying, while Rachel bolted upright from the sofa with a frightened gasp.
“Get out,” Roman said, his voice dropping into a register so chilling that it froze the blood in Evelyn's veins.
“Roman, darling, I just wanted to talk to her, I swear!” Evelyn stammered, backing away toward the open balcony.
“You violated your banishment order and brought violence into a child’s room,” Roman stated, taking slow, deliberate steps forward.
He didn’t raise his voice, but his presence filled the room with absolute, unyielding terror.
“Daddy is going to destroy you! You can’t do this to me!” Evelyn screamed, tripping backward over her own designer heels.
