Nina rushed out of the room in a whirlwind, leaving me, Aldric, and her mother standing there in her wake. I was furious, with my hands curled up into fists at my sides. The fact that Aldric had sent spies to keep watch over us in Mountainview was one thing, but the way that he had spoken to Nina almost made me sick.

I couldn't just stand idly by while he hurt my wife.

Aldric's eyes flicked briefly to Nina's mother, but he still didn't waver despite her biting gaze." Nina is old enough to hear the truth, Angelica," he said firmly. "It's about time she leams that she needs to grow up and take some accountability."
