As Ian stepped through the hallways of the Thornston mansion, only one image remained in his mind. Of course, it was that of his beautiful wife. He was very satisfied with himself for what he had done but with one teeny tiny regret: 'James Wendover should have been made to suffer more. I was too hasty in granting him a quick death.'
However, as this went on in his head, he was very happy with himself. The thought to do that had only taken deep root after that visit to the Wendover mansion and also in the prison when he could sense no remorse from James at all.
Ian also had the mind to subject Clara to a similar fate for the obvious emotional neglect of his wife, but then, the only thing that helped him back was that Shelby was Clara's blood. That single curtesy and also the fact that Cara had not taken any active stance or action against her daughter. It did not mean that Clara had a free pass…. She was just on a tight watch then.
