Chapter 79

Angelica was working in the garden when she suddenly felt something strange. It was an alarming feeling as if danger was nearby. She looked around and spotted a man standing outside the gate. 

Standing up she went to see who it was. When she got closer, the feeling intensified. The man was clad in black trousers and a long black coat with a grey shirt beneath. His hair was long and dark and he held a cane in one hand. His face felt somehow familiar and made her heart beat in a strange way. 

"Good evening, My Lady." His voice was like a purr and gave her goosebumps. 

"Good evening." She replied looking into his cat-like eyes. 

"You must be Lord Rayven's wife. I am here to meet your husband." He said. 

Angelica remembered Lord Rayven's words about not letting anyone in even if they said they knew him. But she wouldn't let this man in even then. He frightened her. Where had she seen him?
