I stood there, caught between a whirlwind of emotions, my gaze shifting from my mother to Amelia and then to the man lying on the ground before me.

I didn't want to acknowledge any relations with a man so utterly devoid of humanity. “Yes, he killed your brother and wife. Lucian's parents,” Rachael confessed, her voice thick with regret.

Nora observed me, her eyes fixed on my trembling hand as it gently pressed against my stomach. She then shifted her gaze back to me, concern and disbelief etched on her face. "You're not seriously saying—" "Oh, for heaven's sake," Nora snapped, her voice laced with impatience. "You don't know that you're pregnant?" She let out a heavy sigh, her tone softening slightly.
