Rhane followed Jenna's father, his expression apprehensive. The man had never spared him a look, and even when he did, Rhane noticed the disdain in it. And it all began the day Rhane saved the man's daughter from drowning.
To Brown, his daughter wasn't saved but defiled, and even when he found out he was wrong, a typical man of high standing couldn't risk accepting he'd wronged a commoner, so he never spoke of it. But that didn't end in Brown's crime; his pride and greed had made him put himself first before his only daughter's happiness.
