refusing to fall for her tricks. “You really aren’t as smart as everyone would make you out to be. He has been spying on you since he magically awoke from his curse. He knew exactly what would happen to you if he killed you again. Who do you think gave him the order to convince you to let him turn you into a vampire?” She was taking a good deal of pleasure in hurting me. I didn’t remember much of what she was saying, but I trusted Cornelius; I didn’t believe what she was saying. “You’re lying,” I said in barely a whisper. Her expression darkened. “I don’t lie. Cornelius is mine now. You should learn to let go, not that it really matters though. You will be dead for good soon,” she said brightening a little. I disregarded her last statement. I figured she would throw in the fact that I would be dead soon. I didn’t care about that. I cared about Cornelius; I wanted to see him. “Let me see him. I have to hear it from him. I don’t believe a word you say.” She watched me for a minute. “Fine, Cornelius,” she chimed calling him. Cornelius appeared next to her. He wouldn’t even look at me. “Yes mistress,” he said quietly. I couldn’t believe he was acting like she owned him. “Tell Lillian about you and me,” she chimed happily as she ran her fingers over his chest. Cornelius looked at me, and I could tell by the expression in his face, everything Eleanor said was true. Jealousy, anger, and fear hit me all at once. My emotions were all mixed together. I wasn’t sure what to say or do next. Stay tuned for the next volume in the Lillian Rayne series. For updates on this and other exciting series follow me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ellaprice.ella
