“You want revenge on The Heartstones. I want something as well, while the Heartstones fall before your eyes.”

I frown, meditatively. A sick excitement courses through me.

“What do you want?” I ask, unable to suppress my enthusiasm. The thought of Regan and his family destroyed, thrilling. 

“I need a wife and pregnancy, so that my father can hand over the entire business to me.” 

I frown, wondering what that has to do with me. 

“Marry me tomorrow and sign an agreement to get pregnant for me. Then watch the first wave of The Heartstones’ devastation.”
 

Her Nectar, His Peak

Malachi.

I hear him, as I brush my teeth. Not responding . A knock comes on the door and I finish from the bathroom, answering it.

"Coffee?" I ask Nathan, as I grab a cup for myself.

He nods. There's fresh bagels. I grab one for myself, extending a cup and bagel for him.

When we are finally alone, I sip my coffee and eat my bagel.

"What I did, I did because you're my brother." I look straight into his eyes.

The old pain and fear of yesterday, resurfaces. A knowing look crosses his face and I think we share a moment of understanding. The silence between us, enough words.

Unknown: Done, Sir.

I know who it is and I know the subject. Wave of excitement floods me, knowing Melanie would be happy. It's like her happiness has become my satisfaction. Her quest for revenge, my crusade.
