章 46: Chapter Forty-Four

Bennett's eyes widened seeing Seth and two of the most feared humans in the kingdom of darkness.

Bennett swallowed.

'Were they here to finally take him out?'

"Relax Bennett." And much to everyone's surprise, Seth walked right past him to the pillar where Betty had been tied down.

"What are you doing?"

"You guys are free." Seth told him locking eyes with him.

Bennett's brows creased in confusion.

Weren't they the least bit anxious?

He could turn on them any second. Claire was still in the tent looking at him. His heart warmed a bit remembering her embrace.

Was this truly it? Could he really leave Fil if he wanted?

There would surely be repercussions to pay, Bennet knew but for now, he would stay here with Claire.

He hadn't been paying any attention before but as Claire held the tray closely to herself, he noticed her fingers.

Bennet swallowed looking away.

Guilt ate him up whole.

Her fingers had been chopped off irregularly.
