As Heena walked back to her courtyard, the heavy silence between her and Samuel gave her time to think. Her mind was buzzing with one very clear, very sharp emotion.

She never really pretended to be a loving, caring mom. She showed her true, evil colors from day one.
But the Marquis? This so-called father was the absolute worst kind of human being.
