Melba nodded and only glanced at Corey who had her back facing them. “I have a theory that it was because Missus Clifford’s possession was different. By then, the entity was morphing and possessing a dead body inside her.
“Miss Corey’s possession is rooted in the entity’s lies and her succumbing to his woven dreams. She had given her narration of her encounter and the things she was tempted with.” Melba took a deep breath and eyed Milan as if ridiculing the bride in secret. “Perhaps her ‘willingness’ made the possession less destructive to her body.”
Milan received the gaze fully and only broke into a chuckle because of it. He knew that Melba had long suspected the nature of Milan and Owen’s relationship. However, she only stayed quiet because the deity had never punished Milan or Owen for it.
