Chapter 45

Cold water splashing onto his face woke Malachi up from his unconscious form.

Groggily, he opened his eyes to look into the face of the man who had him chained to the walls in a cell under Lindersay. It was a room even he had no clue existed.

He was exhausted and drained both physically and emotionally. He had also lost count of days and nights a long time ago. Andre’s men occasionally fed him to keep him alive, but not enough so he could get back his strength.

Today however, Andre was standing in front of him, something he rarely saw. But if Andre was here…it meant time was almost up.

“Hello, little brother.” Andre knelt in front of Malachi, his smile twisted. “Mother is extremely disappointed in you.”

“How come I didn’t know about you?” Malachi asked. He knew his other brothers and sisters, or had at least heard about them even if he hadn't had direct contact with them. But Andre? No, he had never seen him before. How could that be possible?
