Olivia's POV
I blinked, confused. "What?"
He stepped closer now, the shadows of the cell falling across his face. His voice dropped low, rough with emotion.
"On her grave," he said. "I promised her I would avenge what was done to her… and that vengeance starts with you."
My heart twisted. "Me? What did I do?" I snapped, my voice sharp with disbelief.
Gabriel shook his head slowly. "You did nothing, Olivia. The only crime you committed was being born the daughter of that woman." he spat.
The hate in his eyes made me shudder.
My frown deepened as I tried to put his words together.
I held his gaze. "My mother? Did she do something terrible?" I asked, confused. When and how did my quiet Mother hurt Gabriel and his family?
Gabriel nodded. "She destroyed my family," he said with spite, "and you are destined to pay for it."
