You didn't have to spell it out, I feel, like, really gross now.

I am sorry. That was terrible of me. I completely forgot that he... is still your baby brother. Mmm, I think that you should make a mental list for next time you have dealings with Nick. You need an offswitch or control over anything and everything he gives you to use.

I am sorry about the miller.

Something however is bothering me. Why did Nick respond so negatively towards the miller helping you out. Considering he has had him for more than a decade and 0 interaction between you two, you are a threat to Nick. Please do some additional reading on control and manipulation of the supernatural variety. Are you friends with any of the white hats? Angels? Saints? Maybe poke a bit around, you need to be able to protect yourself against Nick.

I have the feeling that Fiona trying to protect herself from Nick may do more harm than good. I mean, he is concealing her land from the public and lending her a soul to take care of the bies, and he can undo the first one at any time if he so chooses. I'd say it's kinda necessary for Fiona to maintain a working business relationship with Nick (as unpalatable as that might be) because the alternative is worse.

It's okay, you don't have to apologize. Jeremy is a monster, pain and simple. He used to be different. He was a great kid. But that doesn't matter anymore.

Thank you.

I don't know if I'm acquainted with any angels or saints... I don't think so. Would be kinda cool tho. I'd sure like to be able to protect myself.

My assumption is Nick is playing a game to get Fiona to bear the miller's children and carry on the line.

I mean… probably. Jacek needs to get his heart back though, I think 🤔

Jem isn't 'into' his sister. He's stuck in the sphere of envy, remember? He's envied his sister all these years because of how their mother favored Fiona and showered her with love, affection, friendship, and attention. Plus she's the heiress of their home and forest.

Essentially those women represented Fiona which is why he killed them....killing Fiona over and over again. Which is why Jem said he'd dreamed of killing her when held the knife to her throat.

I can't wait for the installment. This is a fantastic read. Thanks GFTC!
