Where had he hidden Winona? Why was he treating her so cruelly? The Newsom family and Winona had been nothing but kind to him. How could he do something so despicable? Did he even have a heart?

Elysia took her son's cue, inhaling deeply and turning her gaze away from Zane. Out of sight, out of mind-or at least, out of rage.
