"Yes, I am responsible for my mother's death, but only partially." Abby took her stand. Even though she didn't know what she was expecting from Ryan by telling him this truth, she still ignored the small voice at the back of her head that was sure he wouldn't believe her.

"What??!!" Ryan shouted, clearly out of exasperation, because he couldn't believe the audacity of his daughter.

"It's the truth, father. It was someone else who took her life that day..."

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Ryan genuinely believed Abby was trying to lie her way through this, and he couldn't help the rage that clouded his eyes. His emotions often spiraled out of control after joining the rogues, but this time he felt his reaction wasn't uncalled for.

"No, father, you are being deceived by your memories, just like me," the girl continued, feeling it was necessary to let him know the truth. She didn't know if she would get a chance to talk to him like this again. "Memories? Now, you are bullshitting me." Her father wasn't ready to hear her out.

"If you just stop for one second and listen to me..." Now Abby was exasperated until she felt like setting this entire mountain on fire. "Do you even know you are helping the very person who took your mate from you?"

Her outburst was something that was so unexpected, Ryan had never seen her expressing anything but sadness and tears, and he felt stunned for a second.

"Yes, you are helping the very person who murdered her." Abby couldn't fathom why her father would join hands with someone like Calpin, but she felt the need to let him know what he was setting himself up for. Regret and endless suffering, if he made it alive out of this whole farce. "Calpin is the reason my mother died."

"I don't believe you!" Ryan was on autopilot, because he couldn't process or digest the news Abby just told him. Denying it was much easier than accepting the truth that he had been holding onto a lie for a whole decade.

"But it is the truth..."

"Then why didn't you say anything all these years?!" Ryan cut her off in the middle. "Because you killed her, there is no other truth!"

"I didn't remember... no, it's not right. I remembered it wrongly, my mind locked the memories of that day, that was why." Abby then took it upon herself to explain how she lost around two years worth of memories along with that day which was why she couldn't remember about her own power awakening either.

"On that day my power got back lashed... and mother tried to contain it for me, which wounded her, but then Calpin appeared and took advantage of the situation."

Hearing this, there was this look of realization on Ryan's face, and for a second, Abby thought her father would finally come around, but the words that left his lips next crushed that budding hope with lighting speed until it gave her a whiplash.
