Chapter 56: Two Monsters
Ethan stared at Theo like he was staring at a demon he accidentally summoned. The ropes around Theo's wrists were tight enough to leave bruises, yet Theo looked as if the pain didn't even matter to him at all.
Theo looked amused…and he looked very hungry.
"So," Ethan whispered with a twisted smile, "Mother and darling Helena have become friends. How poetic."
"Your mother was lonely," Theo replied. "I thought she deserved company. Someone to show her with real love… Someone to remind her how much she regrets having you."
"Haha!" Ethan laughed quietly. It was that dangerous laugh that carried madness like perfume. He crouched in front of Theo and grabbed his jaw tightly.
Their faces were just inches apart. Their hatred toward each other could have burned the room to ashes.
"So this is your plan," Ethan murmured. "Hide my mother. Play the loyal son. Pretend you are the hero. You think you can rewrite history."
