Evone¡¯ continued to stare out at the ship in the distance. Lucas. She thought she was free of him. But he wanted her. For some reason he really wanted her. So much so that he hired Andrew to find her, hooked up with a pirate to keep her. Drugged her. ?She didn¡¯t even know why?
¡±okay,¡± ?Evone¡¯ said softly. ¡°I trust you,¡± But she could feel the tension and panicked bubbling up in herself¡feel it rising. Becoming stifling
¡°Andrew,¡± she called to him as she continued to stare off at the ship. ¡°Do you know why he¡¯s after me? You came back for me for a reason. You didn¡¯t let my husband just take me and go. You knew I was in danger. What did you learn?¡± She asked turning to face. ¡°What don¡¯t I know? Tell me.¡±

(Andrew)
Andrew was quiet for a long moment.? He didn't want to tell her, but there was no way to avoid it now that she'd asked him directly.
?
"Apparently your father is - unknowingly - set to inherit some very valuable land in France.? Your husband found out about it somehow.? And with your father in poor health and you as his only child, the title to that land will likely be passed down to you in the near future.? And since you're still legally his wife, the title, once it's yours, would pass to him if anything happened to you." He took Evone's hands in his.? "And he was making plans for something to happen to you.? He got a lawyer to draw up some papers that he was going to get you to sign to give him immediate control, but that was only a temporary measure. He was going to have you meet with a fatal accident or mystery ailment that would result in your untimely death."

"That, my love, is why I came after you," Andrew said finally, his eyes blazing with anger as he added?"And why I will kill him the very first chance I get."
