"What kind of a man are you? To be so cruel to treat me this way."
Edgar stooped down to Katrina's level on the floor. "The kind that warned you and your husband to stay away from his wife. How amusing that you call me cruel when you've tortured your stepdaughter for years and continue to mess with her when she is no longer by your side. I am never kind to people like you."

"You," he roughly grabbed her face and forced her to look at him. "Have one day to clear this up and never go after my wife again. I will kill you if I have to return here again."
"Get out!" Katrina yelled, smacking his hand away from her face. "You'll get what's coming to you, Edgar. Just wait."
