Chapter 49

• Crystal's POV

I'm talking about before when we first met. You were a means to get back at your father and well, I despise the man. He took away everything from me. So, ruining his life and by extension yours, seemed like a good start."
• He looked down at me and I noticed his eyes softened. "Although," He said. "You . . . are nothing like your father. That much has been made abundantly clear. So forgive me," He said as he gazed back at me. "For what I did to you then."
