Duchess Alessandra Collins (1)
First, it was Clark and now her grandmother was here. Alessandra knew it wouldn't be long before another relative would show up at her home. She didn't know whether or not Clark had spoken about his run-ins with her but Alessandra did not put it past her family to be bold enough to not care about what Edgar would do them which was stupid considering how easily he killed her father.
Edgar wasn't pleased to have the two women invited into his home but he was going to stand by what Alessandra wanted. There had to be a lot on her mind when it came to her family and when he was in their bedroom a moment ago watching Sally get out of the coat she wore to protect her from the snow, he could tell she was frustrated about something.
'That woman deserves another cut on her face for this,' Edgar thought. He gave Katrina a clear warning to stop messing with his wife but the woman had the nerve to show up today.
