Nathans expression remained icy cold as he spoke each word deliberately.


    Lucinda is not like Nte.


    What sets them apart? Corys voice boomed.


    Its because you love Lucinda that you cherish her.


    Youd be sorry for her even with a minor injury.


    But you didnt love Nte; thats why you destroyed her love for you.


    You murdered her! Nathan remained silent, meeting Corys gaze evenly.


    Cory erupted in anger, shouting, I want you to kneel and apologize to Nte! Will you kneel and bow or not? Nathan simply snorted and calmly spoke the truth.


    I withheld the truth from you to spare you pain.
