Roxy looked at Jess. It hadn't been much. Barely a whisper but the empath had stood up for for. Sort of. Still it was more than anyone had done for her. No one had ever taken her side. 

Reginald smiled indulgently. [color=aba000]"I see you're one of those believe people should be allowed to love whoever they want to."[/color] He sighed and looked at Roxy but she ignored him. Her eyes didn't move off Maxwell. He was the threat here. Her father wouldn't hurt them. At least not physically and other wounds didn't count. [color=aba000]"Normally I would agree however I arranged Roxanna's marriage years ago."[/color]

[color=598527]"I'm willing to allow Roxanna to have a woman on the side if that is what she needs." [/color]Maxwell shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. Roxy rolled her eye. She tried to shove the irritation and fear she felt into the box she kept her emotions in. She didn't have the luxury of dealing with them right now. Not that she would deal with them later. She had been avoiding feeling for years. It was much easier that way. [color=598527]"Heck I'd even watch."[/color]

[color=blue]"You have your heir father. You can leave me alone." [/color]Roxy hated that she had been sold off to the highest bidder. It didn't matter that Maxwell had worked with her father for years. She wanted nothing to do with either of them. [color=blue]"As for you Maxwell you can go to hell for all I care. You can find another wife. I hear Russia and China have some you can buy."[/color] She snarled.
