Chapter 33
Matilda stared at Yvan in disbelief, her whole body trembling with shock. She hadn't expected Yvan to actually go through with his threat....
Using their son to hold sway over her, to take away everything she held dear.
"Yvan, you're heartless! Have you ever considered that he's my son too?" Matilda's voice was a murmur of pain and defiance.
Why was it that he could just take whatever he wanted while she was left to endure his plunder?
Meeting Matilda's reddened eyes, a shiver ran through Yvan's body, an odd sensation flickering across his conscience.
Ever since Matilda had returned, this feeling had become more and more frequent.
Yvan squinted. This was a bad sign... as if his defenses were being breached. By Matilda?
