Chapter 54: "Does It Still Hurt?"
(Aurora's POV)
Victoria went completely still for one second. Then her knees buckled, and she dropped onto the edge of the chair behind her. Her mouth was open, her face slack.
"It's gone?" she said. "The baby is already gone?"
"Yes."
She looked at me like I'd spoken in a foreign language. Then something shifted in her expression - the shock curdled into something uglier - and she was on her feet again, her voice rising to a pitch that filled the entire room.
"You killed it." She pointed at me, her finger shaking. "You murdered my grandchild. You did this deliberately - don't think I don't know what you are - you calculated every move from the beginning and now you think you can walk away-"
She came at me.
I grabbed her wrist.
One motion.
