My aunt did not know about this land and even I have forgotten the baroness gave me the papers when I went to visit her telling me that she always wanted to give them back to me but she was afraid my aunt would take them over from me." she said in a hoarse voice when he looked away.

He had always felt that the actions of her aunt was a ruse to make him believe that she was a victim here but he felt an.. Uneasiness and guilt in his heart whenever he heard about it.
