64. Grief
Rafael's POV:
"What!" To be honest, I was stunned but not shocked. What else could I expect from someone who attempted to kill his own son? But this completely shocked me.
I realize the differences between myself and my father, but I always assumed they were due to my father's desire for power and his willingness to go to any extent to maintain his position for as long as possible. But killing his own partner is beyond comprehension.
How could he, no matter how much he loathed her, Maybe they had some disputes, maybe there was some circumstance, but whatever it was, how could he kill her with his own hands or with someone else's? How could he be so callous? Did he not experience any discomfort while doing so? Why did he continually say he loved my mother when he clearly didn't?
"Why? What exactly was my mother's fault? What exactly did she do? Did he even care for her?" I asked, unable to hold back my emotions.
