Bellatrix licked her lips as she watched his facial expressions. "I think he would be more displeased if he found out you had disobeyed me, don't you think?" she retorted. "Don't try to play me for a fool, Miles. You should know better by now."
She put a hand to her cheek, folding her other arm underneath it as she watched him. "So, what is this I hear about you having a wife? A Daphne Greengrass?" She was smirking wildly. "I recognized the name, you see. Her brothers, Benedict and Pierre. I knew them rather well. Good servants, loyal. Their deaths were a rather disappointing loss." She raised a brow at him. "I suspect she does not object to your own loyalties?" The death of her previous husband had been more than suspect, and she wondered if they had found yet another potential ally.
