Rowell reeled a bit under Natalia’s accusations and was unable to formulate a defense. Lena’s death had not been his intention. He had been fond of her, but he hadn’t loved her.

He was an count- with power, wealth, and women aplenty. Yet he was also the most impoverished, for he had never understood what love truly was.

As Natalia and Callum began to walk away, Rowell called after them. His voice was tinged with desperation. “Natalia, I… I can make amends.”

He had no shortage of women, but he had sincere intentions toward this child, who bore his bloodline. She was his daughter, a part of him, and deserved nothing but the best. She should never have been left to fend for herself. If other earls or dukes found out, he’d get so embarrassed. So when Natalia left with Callum, Rowell begged her to stay. He couldn’t bear the thought of a scandal.

Natalia, however, had no interest in understanding Rowell’s thoughts. She just wanted to get as far away from these people as possible.

“Cal, let’s go,” Natalia said, ignoring Rowell’s pleas and briskly heading for the car.
