Zane POV ~
Why would the four of them kill each other? It wasn't as though they were cursed or under some déjà vu spell. But then again, things like that happen on Earth. Polygamous families torn apart by envious wives, each one desperate for control, for favor, for survival.
Alfie continued, "After the incident, Knox and I became sworn enemies. We couldn't even be in the same room without trying to kill each other. Our father had no choice....he sent both of us away from the mansion. We lived outside the family estate, endured hardship, fought to survive." He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "Years passed. Then Father brought me back to the mansion. Five good years later… he brought that bastard, Knox, back too."
The venom in Alfie's tone made my stomach churn.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Alfie," I said softly, swallowing the lump in my throat. "It sounds… unbelievably painful."
But a terrible thought struck me next...one I couldn't ignore.
