Duchess Alessandra Collins (2)
There was never a moment in his life that would make Edgar want to strangle an old woman until now. To say he was angry would be an understatement. In less than two minutes, someone tried to harm Alessandra in his presence. The only thing holding him back from reuniting the woman with her dead son was the confidence radiating from Alessandra.
It took a lot of Edgar to put his anger to the side and watch what Alessandra would do next. She wanted to be in control and he would let her but the next person who tried to attack her would have to deal with him.
Alessandra tugged the cane out of Greta's hands, causing the woman to almost fall out of the chair because of how strong she had been gripping the cane. "I don't know why but I feel like you have raised this to me before but my memory is faded. This won't happen again," Alessandra tossed the cane to the side. "I am not going to let any of you abuse me anymore. Whether it is mental or physical. I have had enough."
