A MAN WITH NO HEART

Xaden turned away the remaining water that he has used to clean off the blood from her arm and set the bowl in the washroom.

He told himself that he was not being kind or caring to her.

She had been foolish to have such a deep cut.

Moreover it was good news that she had cut herself because that meant that he was not bonded to her the way Marie believed.

He could now easily severe the bond without worrying if he would die.

After that he would order her execution and then face finishing up her father.

That was all.

Then why did he feel uneasy? Why did he feel wretched when he thought about her dead?

It baffled him.

After all she had known that the spy had been here to kill him and yet she had done nothing.

She was bad, just as bad as her father.

She was lucky that he even took her captive because of what he had not let her endure.
