It was almost as if London, the real, working life of the city, no longer existed. She could only think of one thing. Finding Lord Hammond. She wasn’t sure what she would do when she found him. She only knew she had to put a stop to his threats, to the danger he posed to Dominic and his family. She had never felt so deeply, achingly angry before in her life. Yet she also felt freezing cold, frighteningly calm, and rational. How dare this man, a man she barely knew, think he had any right to her? That he owned her just because he wanted her, that he could ruin her life because she didn’t want him in return? She wasn’t going to take it any longer. Now she had more than herself to protect. She had Dominic, her husband. The husband she loved. She wasn’t going to let her own problems ruin his life. She could never live with that if he suffered from being allied with her.
