Horace was so frightened that he grabbed his head and bawled, “What are you doing? Ashlyn, don’t you dare come any closer! This place is full of prison guards. They’ll come after you if you try to hurt me in any way!”

Horace’s face grew even paler. “Why are you doing that to my hair? Who do you think you are to pull my hair like that?”

If this little wretch had already discovered the truth about what had happened all those years ago… if she actually knew that she was…
