He met her gaze, his gold demonic eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that sent an unfamiliar chill through her body.

"For our daughter."
Khillea froze in place, her entire body rigid as Nathan's words sank in.
For our daughter?
Had she misheard him? No… he had said it clearly, without hesitation. The weight of those words pressed down on her, making her heart pound in her chest.
Her breath hitched. It couldn't be.
"N…Nathan?" she finally managed to whisper, her voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and raw emotion.
She had thought him. Lost. Erased from the world. She thought he would never come back anymore to her.
