Chapter 140

Alistair's composure cracked ever so slightly.

Miranda found it amusing. "You don't honestly think I care about you all, do you?"

Her words hit Alistair like a punch, making his expression even more troubled.

For the first time, the disdain in Miranda's eyes made him feel heinously guilty.
