Unrecognized Encounter

Ethan Montgomery swiftly advanced, seizing Avery Miller's hands with a chilling gaze, "How long do you intend to hide? Come back with me."

 

Avery felt a fire blazing within her as she glared back at him, her heart brimming with loathing. Ethan Montgomery, it was you who caused the death of our child!

Quickly lowering her gaze, when she lifted her eyes again, they were filled with nothing but indifferent detachment, her voice as cold as ice, she jerked her hands free from his firm grip.

 

"I'm sorry, sir, but you seem to have not only mistaken the place but also the person. I would advise you to leave now, before someone else arrives and things become...complicated."

 

Clutching her palms tightly, the only pain allowing her to remain composed and lucid amidst the turmoil within her.
