Chapter 70

• Killian's point of view
• I don't know why my heart was pounding so loud, there was something in her words that terrified me. But I listened quietly.
• "I really do not know, Killian," She muttered, after a long silence. "I was fast asleep in my chamber when the smoke from the fire stirred me awake. By then the fire had spread around." She paused, tears were gliding down her cheek. I brushed it off, listening as she continued. "I reached for the door, but it was locked. Someone had locked me and wanted me to die in that fire."
