Abigail spluttered. Some drops of her coffee landed on Declan's hands but he cared less about that at the moment.
It was relieving that he had finally relayed all that was on his mind. To him, that was all that mattered.
"What did you just say?" She asked him.
"I said that Ferdinand, my father, is not dead. He is alive and well", he answered.

Over the weeks, Damian had been having a series of tooth growth that had resulted in fever episodes. Patricia had complained to Daniel about it endlessly, but it seemed as though the only person on his mind was himself.

"I don't know", she replied almost immediately, already scared tha

Declan listened attentively. He could hear the voice of someone in the background, but it was more of a ruffle. He ignored it."They took some of the girls, about three of them, two are dead and the rest are injured", Micheal answered in detail. It was as though he was reading from a book."Do you have any idea wh
