Catherine's POV
I was walking down the stairs while texting Kiera, she hadn't reached out to me since she left. While walking down I heard what looked like an argument.
"I am here to see my best friend. I need to know how she's fairing!"
My stomach plummeted when I heard that voice. Sasha! She was here to check on Lucy.
I stopped mid the stairs and saw her standing in the main foyer. She was arguing loudly with one of the household staff.
She looked frenzied, her loyalty to Lucy clearly pushing her into some kind of hysterical defense mode.
She spotted me immediately, of course. Her head snapped toward the staircase, and her eyes narrowed into angry slits. She shoved past the staff member and headed straight for me.
"Well, look who it is," she sneered, stopping just inches away. She wore a defiant expression, clearly pumped up by her misplaced sense of arrogance. "I heard what happened to poor Lucy and for some reason, I sure know you had a hand in it."
