Then he vanished into the smoke, his army retreating behind him. I collapsed to my knees. The world spun. My blood soaked the soil. Elias reached me, shouting my name, his voice cracked with grief. But I barely heard him. The forest burned. Wolves lay where they had fallen. Death reeked all around the air. Beyond the ridge, the King lived on, wearing my son’s face. And I had nothing left to give. I pressed my hand to the dirt, whispering the words that had followed me all my life. “The sins of the father,” I murmured, “and now the son.”

He laughed as his belly jiggled and his double chin bounced as he shook my hand. "You know he put my mother and me in hiding, I took her surname." I unbuttoned my dark blue suit buttons before sitting down. "So, you wanted a meeting with me?" I cleared my throat as I motioned to the seat across from me. "Yes, I came here today in full respect of your father, but I wanted to conclude a business deal." He smiled viciously as he snapped his fingers, one of the brutish bald men put a suitcase in from of Giovanni. "Know that when your father passed he gave you all of his holdings, shares, companies..." He trailed off as he took out a couple of manilla folders. "I want a few of your businesses."

“Go on, my son. Confess, and unburden yourself.” There was a long pause. Only his breathing filled the air. Then he spoke, voice low and uneven. “I don’t even know where to start.” “Start with the truth,” I said gently. “Whatever it is.” He let out a shaky laugh, the kind that comes from despair rather than humor. “I’ve done something unforgivable, Father.” The word unforgivable always made me tense. I’d heard it too many times from too many mouths, yet it still had a sting.

He was just a child; 9 years old, he hadn’t known a thing about the bond they’d later share, but while suffering in a marriage she didn’t want to be apart of, that smiling child gave her a glimpse of hope… ‘Perhaps he could save her’ she had many times thought…but now that he was grown, she found that he could, but he wouldn’t… He hated her guts, he thought she was filthy, but again, he wasn’t wrong…She had been forced to sleep with his father multiple times, he had heard it, seen those filthy marks his father sometimes left on her skin, seen her kiss him, hug him… It all must’ve been painful for him to watch. His stepmother, no, his dad’s favorite wife was his mate, he must feel like he was

Because something told me the gravity of this sin was beyond any redemption. ***

“Relax, Ciara. Just obey me and be free. You’re going to like it. I promise.” My heart hammered so hard I could feel it in my clit. Blackmail. Guilt. Arousal. They twisted together until I couldn’t tell which was which. “Teach me,” he said softly. “Show me everything you’ve been doing with him.” So I did. I knelt on the cold stone floor exactly like I had for Father Chris. My hands shook as I opened the repentance book to the next chapter. My voice trembled as I started reading: “I renounce the sin of lust… I reject every impure touch that pulls me from grace…”

I could hear the house around us, the faint hum of the air conditioning, the distant sound of my father’s white noise machine through two closed doors. I thought about Laura sleeping down the hall with her migraine medication pulling her under, completely trusting that the world was exactly what she believed it to be. I thought about the way she’d taken my hands at dinner two nights ago, holding up my fingers to show our mother how similar our hands were. “Mama, look, we have the same nail beds, we’re basically identical.” We were not identical. “I’m going to bed,” I said. Vincent didn’t move to stop me. He just stood there, hands at his sides, watching me with that careful, unreadable expre

“Buried?” He nods toward the cliffs. “Two miles down the ridge. The old dock your father used before the merge. You think Dominic’s betrayal started this year? It started there. I came to find proof.” “Proof of what?” “That your father’s legacy was already rotting before you inherited it.” His words hit harder than they should. I grab his shoulder, force him to face me. “You think dragging ghosts out of the dirt will save you?” “No,” he says, eyes cold. “But it might save you.”

“Forgive me, father, for I have sinned,” the man said, leaning back against the seat in the box. On the other side, he could hear the father’s deep breathing. The priest knew the sound of his voice. Always, he would come here to confess his sins. And always, when he went out, these sins drew him back in. The sin of defilement, of both his body and that of others. He was tired of it. “Speak, son,” the priest replied.

Fia couldn’t help but frown as Conall appeared in her mind. She didn’t know much about Conall, so she didn’t know what he did to Peter. “I have nothing to do with him.” “The sins of the father are to be laid upon the sons, and since he has no sons, you’ll pay for all the sins he committed!” Peter remembered that Fia was mentally ill, and so he said, “Have you ever thought that the reason you lost your children again and again is because of his sins?!” Fia’s expression instantly turned dark, even the lights in her eyes had dimmed.
