"This is private property to the duke. Only the family of the duke is allowed to be buried here." Abi paused in her tracks. She should have known. The rich people can offer a fancy bed to the dead too. But she was not one of them.
Burying her mother here meant she was accepting his offer. She did not have a conscience that pricked her for lying. But she was sure that she would be caught and punished then. Nobles could not be trusted. They were full of trickery and deception.
Noticing his wary gaze, he laughed. The duke and duchess were buried here. Burying the kidnapper of their precious daughter with them would be a perfect revenge. Just how much their souls would be tormented. No! Perhaps, he was doing them a favor. He had finally found the woman they had been looking for all their life. Now they could take their revenge. Was he not a filial man?
