Ebenezer Knows

Amelia POV

I stood up to leave from where he was but his hand gripped me and drew me down.

Ebenezer's hand, strong and insistent pulled me back down, his grip like iron, and his words, a low dangerous whisper sent a chill through my veins, a cold icy dread that made my blood run cold.

"Take a chill pill, Amelia," he said, his voice a quiet, mocking hiss, as he leaned in, his eyes narrowed, his breath hot against my skin.

"Unless you want your secret to be revealed."

I struggled to control the shudder that ran through my body, my muscles tensing, as Ebenezer's words, a silent threat, seemed to echo in my mind, the weight of his knowledge pressing down on me like a physical thing.

"What do you want?" I whispered, my voice trembling, my eyes darting nervously around me to know if anyone was eavesdropping.
