There was an air of finality in Angelina's voice as she declared, "There’s nothing left to discuss. Amy is under my care, and that’s the end of it." Her words dripped with disdain as she glared at him.
"Who says so?" he retorted, a smirk playing on his lips.
"I do! I am her guardian," she shot back, her tone sharp as a knife.
"Really? And why would her guardian want to keep someone who brings her joy at bay?" Richard's smile widened, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Joy? You’re just twisting her mind! She’s too innocent to see how insane you truly are," Angelina spat, her voice laced with venom.
"Insane?" Richard's tone shifted, deepening ominously, "Insane, you say?"
"Ah!" Angelina gasped as his hand clamped around her throat, cutting off her air. "Let me go! Richard!" she pleaded, desperation creeping into her voice.
"I’m not insane. I’m simply madly in love," he said, his gaze piercing through her.
"Rich - Richard," she stammered, her face flushing crimson. Yet, he only tightened his grip, her strength waning as her breaths became shallow and labored until her arms fell limp at her sides.
With a sense of grim satisfaction, Richard tossed her aside like a discarded doll.
"Don’t worry Aunt. I’ll make sure you become the most sensational headline any publication could dream of."
