"No, she didn't do anything. But I think her husband is being abusive," she told him what she had noticed in the corridor, and Rohan chuckled dryly.
"The bastard. I've heard about him because people say he's the human version of me in Nightbrook, but I don't think so. He's a spineless fool. He married his wife for her beauty, and they've been married for two years now without an offspring.
He is to inherit his father's legacy once he has a son of his own, which must come from his wife and not a mistress. If you ask me, Joshua Clifton should be put in an asylum as well, because he truly needs it. He kills and destroys the lives of many with the excuse that his wife told him to do it. He puts all the blame on her when asked why he did it. Tsk. Only a spineless man would hide behind a woman's skirt when he commits crimes.
I'd never do that to my wife, so you see, he's nothing like me." He kissed her shoulder, causing her to smile as warmth swelled in her heart.
