“Your property?” I snap.

One knock.

“Then why did you delete the scans of my letters?”

“M… I… N… E,” Ezekiel says.

I grind my teeth. “Let me get this straight. The letters you wrote belong to you, and so do the letters I wrote. What about the extra twenty-thousand words I produced last week without your input?”

“A… L… S… O?—”

“Also yours?”

One knock.

Ezekiel clears his throat. “Could you please refrain from interrupting the spirit?”

“Tell the spirit to start making sense. I don’t belong to him or anyone else.”

Two knocks.

I shake my head, my skin prickling with annoyance. “What right do you have over my life? We’re not even married.”

Two knocks.

“But I wasn’t even at the wedding.”

Relaney sighs. “Relationships are different in the spirit realm.”

“Are you taking his side?” I ask.

She falls silent.

There’s another series of knocks, but Ezekiel remainsquiet, probably so I won’t interfere when he’s translating for the spirit. I crack open an eye to find him frowning.

“What’s happened?” I ask.

“It’s not very nice,” he says.

“Tell me.”

“He said he wants to break you.”

One knock.

My stomach flips. “Why?”

Ezekiel waits for the next sequence of knocks to finish before translating. “He called you a betrayer.”

I swallow hard. “Can I say something?”

One knock.

“Xero, this isn’t healthy.” My throat tightens. “I know you’re upset with me, but you can’t keep destroying my work. Writing is all I have?—”

A loud crash echoes in the room, cutting off my words. My eyes snap open, and Sparrow advances on me with a broken bottle.

“You murdering bitch!” he screams.
