No Man's Bride
“His recommendation to the prime minister was due soon, he had a speech to write for Parliament, and he still had to go through piles of correspondence. Here was a letter with information on a labor law he was researching, there a request from an MP for support of a new tax bill.
Quint stared at the work for the better part of the afternoon and made no progress whatsoever. It seemed no matter which issue he turned his attention to, the only issue he could really concentrate on was that of his ma...rriage. He was not a violent man, but at that moment he could have cheerfully murdered Edmund Fullbright.
Quint had been wrong about Catie. He could see that now. Not that he hadn’t had reason to distrust her, but no more. Now he felt nothing but righteous fury for her. Edmund Fullbright was the worst kind of scum—the kind of vermin who belittled those weaker than himself, the kind of man who made himself feel powerful by knocking down people like his wife and daughter.
Quint hadn’t lied to Catie when he’d said that relationships didn’t have to be like that.MoreLess
