Angela looked at Gael as if he'd grown two giant heads. She backed away, and he let his hand fall to his lap, feeling the slight rejection prick at his chest. He must have sounded crazy with what he just told her. It wasn't as if draining someone's wealth was as easy as taking a child's candy. But this was why it was taking the time to do so.
She shook her head, looking more confused than ever. "What are you talking about? What do you mean drain all their resources?"
How could he explain it to her without him sounding like a villain? Though that didn't matter as she'd already known that from the start. He wasn't a good man. Furthermore, there were a lot of things he couldn't tell her; for his family's sake and especially for her own sake. Rubbing the back of his neck, he let out a sigh, finding this conversation one of the hardest he'd ever had. Then he said, "It sounds ridiculous, I know. Not as easy as it sounds either. But essentially, that's what we've been trying to do."
