Taehyung took a deep breath, his voice trembling with anger and sorrow. “Your father killed my father. It wasn’t an accident. The fire was his doing,” he said, the words hitting Hazel like a punch to the gut.
Hazel’s heart shattered. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her father, the man she loved and admired, was responsible for such a horrific act? She felt sick to her stomach as the truth sank in, realizing that the man she had trusted had caused so much pain.
