Phillip ignored Cassandra and focused on the vampire she had injured. She was as foolish as Bryce said she had become, and when he received word she wanted to kill Gabriel, the church knew if this got out, their plans would be ruined.
The priests needed to silence Cassandra before she said too much.
"I hope you don't mind that I was unable to attend the wedding. Things got a little busy at home. I had hoped Cassandra was being a good wife to make up for my absence," Phillip said, finally peering down at Cassandra.
Cassandra gulped, more willing to test her luck with Gabriel than to go with Phillip.
Phillip smiled when he looked at Cassandra, but Cassandra had been around him long enough to know he only smiled when he was angry. She had messed up plenty of times in the past to know it.
