Philip shut his eyes, exhaustion etched across his face.
The bloodthirsty man in front of him—this wasn’t the father he knew. How could his father be this cruel, this cold? Yes, he had hated him before. Resented him. But six years had passed, and now he could see the truth: he had been the real victim. If he could let it go... why couldn’t his father?
