Her Father's Heart
The ceiling spun in front of Charlotte's eyes.
She was hyperventilating.
Henry patted her hand
'Take it easy. Don't get so worked up over a nobody. It's not like he was using those organs, anyway.!
When the horrible truth sank in, Charlotte almost stopped breathing.
She could feel the heart that was beating strongly and rhythmically in her chest.
Leland Heart's heart.
Kira's father's heart
Charlotte shuddered
She stared at her husband, the devil incarnate.
"You.. you killed Mr Hewin?"
Henry knitted his brows, asign of his displeasure.
'He was supposed to be dead a long time ago. I was kind enough to grant him two more years of life.

Luckily, Henry had a spare
Henry McCarthy, you will go to hell!
Charlotte shouted with all her strength, but it came out as barely a hoarse whisper.
She couldn't even lift her linger.

"You are a murderer!!
Charlotte's eyes tumed red,
'I will make you pay!"
Her eyelids trembled violently,
Henry shot her a scomful lookMaterial © of .
'How do you plan to achieve that exactly? Are you going to call the cops on me?
He leaned forward, holding out his phone.
Tlove the number for the chief of police. Do you want me to help you dial?
Charlotte was so rared, she couldn't get a word out
Henry waited for a beat, then he studied the phone back into
to his pants pocket.
"You've been married to me for more than thirty years. How can you ll be so naive? Don't you know that certain men in this would are above the law? We don't have to answer to anyone tounelves. You could be one of us too, you know.' Charlotte screwed herpes shut
She couldn't bearto look at the monster.
She wished she were never bent
If she hadn't been so foolish in love thirty years ago,
she wouldn't have been duped into marrying the devil

Now she had blood on her hands.
