At the Belmore mansion—the very home Magnus had taken from Crescentia and her sister—Magnus stormed into the sitting room, yanking his tie loose and throwing it at the couch in frustration.
They had just returned from the hospital after taking Lucian in, but Magnus hadn't cared to stay and hear what the doctor had to say. He left as soon as he could, his fury over what had happened at the funeral boiling over.
"Did you know Crescentia was dating Damian Lorenzo?" he demanded, his voice sharp as he turned to Juliette.
Juliette, who had also left the hospital after informing Lucian's parents of the incident, shook her head. "She never told me anything."
"Then how the hell did they meet, and why are they suddenly in a relationship?" he snapped, the weight of his own mistakes pressing down on him. He knew the consequences if Crescentia started speaking to the wrong people—especially Damian.
