It was rather incredible how quickly Rido picked up on everything, and he didn’t seem like a normal child. He was beyond his ag

I whispered, my throat tightening too much to speak any louder. I knew Winslow was coming for his revenge. He made it clear he would make me regret the things I did to him.
