ELIANA
It wasn't surprising that Aldrin agreed to take a DNA test without much fanfare. If anything, I could only wonder how that kid came out from the likes of that vile woman.
The atmosphere wasn't bad initially. But now that these two had been put into a different cell for a confrontation, it suddenly turned cold and extremely thick with tension.
Lucian stood before me, making sure that they couldn't reach me even though they were already behind bars. Instead of being taken to a room for the confrontation, they were taken to a different cell.
Lucian made a 'stern request' with the powers of a Sinclair to make this happen. My husband would not allow me to stay anywhere near where a projectile could fly.
When I look at them like this, it's hard to reconcile with the image of their usual arrogance. Not that they didn't project the same thing now.
They still dared to feel superior, but how long that would last, I wouldn't know.
