Which wife wouldn't go absolutely ballistic if she found out her husband had a mistress?
— Liz
======================
Liz was paralyzed, torn between wanting to intervene and the instinct for self-preservation. Her heart raced, and she felt a mixture of fear, shock, and disbelief as the events before her took a horrifying turn.
The moment Liz opened her mouth to scream, Lucian abruptly lifted his head and locked eyes with her.
The intensity of his gaze sent a shiver down Liz's spine, causing her voice to catch in her throat. She found herself frozen in place, the sound she had intended to make swallowed by the fear that gripped her.
In that brief, heart-pounding exchange of looks, Liz realized she was now an unwilling witness to a horrifying and clandestine Lucian's world she had never imagined existed.
But then she opened her eyes.
Wide awake.
