Seth watched as she walked away, her back straight, her shoulders stiff as she moved toward the hall She would be close; he knew she wouldn’t go far But that didn’t ease the need to touch her, to hold her

He turned back to Carrington, staring at him coldly

“Insult her again, and I’ll force the sale of your shares,” he kept his voice low, though he didn’t give a damn who heard what he had to say

He watched the sweat pop out on Carrington’s forehead, a clear indication that the other ly concerned Let hi about future profits Seth twistedwhat the Council had done to Dawn, re the bastards for every second of pain they had put her through as a child

“This has nothing to do with business,” Carrington snapped “Weren’t you the one that warned me to keep it separate?”

Seth stepped closer “Do you have a soul, Carrington?” He growled “Let’s see if you have one Go back into that roo room “Reload those discs and watch theine the lash of those whips on your own flesh as a child A fucking baby, too young to defend yourself And iine the discs you didn’t see in there The ones where they raped children to death” He clenched his fists at his sides to keep froine your child, your precious Caroline, staring back at a caainst her young body was co inside him

Letdestroyed babies” His expression contorted, the i through his ?

“They proved those discs were false” Carrington was still shaking his head “The Breeds did that themselves They proved it The Breeds don’t disprove it They refuse to address it”

“Tell you what, let sohter until she’sfrolassy, and see how ton” His chest was tight, his rage thundering through him “Any of you Those who survived, do you think they want you to see their pain? Do you think they care at this point whatotiations are off My lawyers will contact yours next week I don’t negotiate with pedophiles or those who defend them Get the fuck off my island”
