Reginald chuckled. [color=aba000]"You shouldn't encourage Roxanna's rebellion."[/color] He said as if she was some kind of teenager going through a phase. Anger flashed through Roxy. [color=aba000]"She's too old for this kind of behavior."[/color] He said as they headed towards the dinning room. 

As soon they entered the dinning room Roxy saw Maxwell. She stopped. Her hands reached for her knives out of instinct but she stopped herself. She wouldn't admit that she was afraid of him. 

Maxwell was a friend and business associate of her father's. She hadn't expected him to be there but she supposed that she should have. Her father had made it clear that he expected her to marry Maxwell. He had practically planned the wedding despite the fact that she had told him that she was attracted to women.

The older man got up from his chair and moved towards them. [color=598527]"This must be the empath. I'm glad to get a chance to met you. You're going to be a big part of our lives." [/color]

[color=blue]"You're not a part of my life Maxwell. You never will be."[/color] Roxy growled. 

[color=598527]"Still feisty I see."[/color] Maxwell chuckled as he moved towards them. He gave them a charming smile.
