Chapter 91: To Hide a Bruise

William tried to quell the white hot fury churning through him. He felt like punching anything and everything he could get his hands on.

William looked around the room wildly, seeking an object he could vent his anger and hatred and disillusionment on - and then he noticed the young woman hunched in the corner with her knees drawn up against her chest.
