CHAPTER 10

That evening, as Sarah walked inside their luxurious home, a jumble of different emotions whirled around her. She was still thinking about Bobby's scary threats, and the events of the wedding kept playing back to her like a bad dream. Sarah was desperate to get away from her husband's controlling hold, but she understood that when Olivia's life was in danger, she had to be vigilant.

Bobby shut the door behind them, watching her with a sly smile of victory arched in his lips and a predatory glimmer in his eyes. His voice brimming with smug satisfaction, "Well, well, well, Mrs. Duke," he murmured. "It seems we're finally alone."

Sarah's heart hammered in her chest as she prepared herself for what was about to happen, fighting to control the shudder that shot through her body at his words. She was aware that she couldn't afford to appear weak, not with Bobby's domination over her casting a gloom over the two of them.
