Bitterness seeped into every word. "He brought Max home. He made him his successor."
Her lips quivered. "He locked me away and treated my sons like enemies."
Hatred filled her eyes. "I will never forget what he did to us. And I will never forgive him."

Celeste froze. For a moment, she simply stared at him. Then irritation returned.
