SILENT SHADOWS : HIDDEN TRUTHS
PROLOGUE
The room smelled of iron.
Hands tied behind the chair. Face bruised. Lip split.
"Leave me..."he whispered
Unknown
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Let me explain. "
A small laugh escaped her.
???
"Explain?" she repeated slowly.
She walked closer, heels clicking against concrete.
He flinched when her fingers tilted his chin.
???
"Do I look like a stupid novel villain to you?" she asked,voice gentle.
???
"Do you think i waited years....built an empire....buried a child...just to hear your explanation?"
His breathing became uneven.
Unknown
"You don't know what happened that night," he said urgently. "It was a crossfire. I didn't even see--" he moves his head down a little
The sound of a nail pressing against his neck made him freeze.
Her whisper was colder than the steel in her hand🥶.
???
"You don't know how long i waited for this moment."
Unknown
"I didn't mean to kill him."
???
"And yet,"she said quietly, "he's dead."
On the table behind her sat a small framed photograph.
A smiling man. Her hand resting on his over her pregnant stomach.
She picked up the frame gently.
???
"Today is his birthday, " she murmured.
???
"And you are his gift."
???
"I'm not here to forgive you," she said softly.
???
"I'm here to finish you."
