I backed away as I fell on back in the pier boardwalk. My heart beat accelerated as I looked at the smirking face of the Marquis in front of me. What the hell? How did he get here so fast? Weston and Baron backed up to stand in front of me. The Marquis opened a small pocket watch and clicked it closed. Five guards stood next to him as he held the bounty for Baron's arrest.
"Oh my dear Mila, aren't you quite the lying bitch of a daughter-in-law?"
This was probably the first time in my life that I had ever been speechless. I was in too much shock to process his words. I had just seen the Marquis a couple of minutes ago, so how was it that he got here before me? What the fuck was going on?
The Marquis knelt in front of me as he threw Baron's bounty on my face.
