Chapter 56 I Don’T Need You, Roman Ashfield

• Eve looked down the hall at the men carrying a piece of furniture up the stairs. She had stayed upstairs as long as she could until she’d heard people start going into the rooms, but the moments she had seen the transformation downstairs she’d been shocked. It felt like she had walked into a different house.
• Though the furniture was clearly expensive, it was sturdy and comfortable. The spacious living room looked so homey. Nothing like Roman’s house in London. And there was still so much room in there, which was the whole reason they had wanted this house. Her father would have thrived here. But for some reason, Roman had done extensions, making the house bigger and more spacious.
• Maybe he wasn’t used to living in small spaces. Would he live here? He had to be thinking about it because why would anyone do so much work on a stolen house and not live in it? But the most likely explanation was that he had seen the potential and this was just a business investment for him. That extension and opening up the kitchen had probably added so much value to the house that she would never afford it now.
