You Were Never There
"As you wished, Cecilia will never have another birthday! My poor child... Her last breath was spent asking me, 'Why hasn't Daddy come yet? Does Daddy not love me anymore?'"
"No! That's impossible!" Liam's hands trembled as he glared at me. "Sofia, is this another one of your tricks? You're lying to me again, aren't you?! I'll find out for myself—I'll check for myself!"
He fumbled for his phone, his hands shaking violently.
A cold, emotionless voice answered on the other end.
"Yes, Alpha King. Princess Cecilia was cremated... on her birthday."
