"Oh sweet Lord," Brown cried, gripping his chest as if he were about to pass out, but Percy was quick to hold him up.
Kali didn't know she was going to agree with the man, but she found herself nodding.
"Nikolai won't leave without his daughter-in-law, and you? You won't let her go. What shall we do?" the man asked out of frustration.
Nikolai balled his fist in anger. He wanted to knock Brown out and go ahead with his plan, but it wasn't going to be that easy. He didn't like that a conversation was being had when he could kill Rhane and Jenna with just an order.
Rhane noticed the restlessness on his father's face. Something wasn't working as he had planned, and it showed.
"What if..."
Everyone searched around for where the voice was coming from.
Kali stepped forward, her arms folded on her blood-stained shirt. "The Lady left her husband for the crimes he'd done. Should he not be punished too?"
"I will not be punished for being a man!" Gerald stomped his feet in argument.
