She looked down at the urn, but she refused to believe it.


    Tears streamed down Sonny’s face as he exined, “Last night, he went to an abandoned warehouse in the east suburb of the city alone.


    He wanted to get rid of those men for you.


    He didn’t suspect they had a backup n.


    The warehouse was full of gasoline.


    By the time we arrived there, he was already…”


    Tears dripped from his eyes.


    He could say no more.


    Everyone was drowning in their grief.


    Lucinda’s eyes stung, but she held back her tears and sneered.


    “You are telling me you’re holding his ashes? It’s a trick.


    How can you expect to fool me with such a cheap trick?”


    Larry and Lonnie cried harder.


    Sonny was sobbing.


    “Mr.


    Roberts’ body was mutted.


    We couldn’t bear it, so we cremated him.


    He loved you, so we brought him here before delivering him to the Roberts family.

    Lucinda stared nkly at the urn that supposedly contained Nathaniel’s ashes.


    The nightmare she had in Stastle shed through her mind.


    Nathaniel’s sad and desperate eyes surrounded by mes.


    The images were fresh in her mind.


    But she never expected it toe true.


    She took the urn from Sonny.


    Her hands shook violently, but she held it tight.


    Two teardrops fell onto the lid.


    She wiped her eyes on her sleeve.


    “I know you’re lying.


    Did he put you up to this? Do you expect me to believe you? I won’t ept his death until I see his body with my own eyes.


    Does he think if I grieve his loss, he’ll have a better chance with me? Is that why he’s doing this? He’s dreaming! His ashes? I’ll smash it to pieces! I won’t let him fake his death”

    “No! Don’t!”


    NathanieL’s subordinates all knelt before her.

    Lucinda stared at them open mouthed.


    They had fought many battles alongside Nathaniel.

    Lucinda’s mind was slipping away from her as she gazed down at the urn in her hand, her fingers shaking uncontrobly.


    With a sneering shake of her head and a bite of her lower Lip, Lucinda returned the urn of ashes to Sonny.
