Faren grew more angered with every word Reigna spoke. She insulted Nimue, the Lady of the lake, Varrat, his master, Susan, and Samantha. And then she said he would not be a good role model for a child. As if she was one to talk.<br/>The final straw that made him snap however, was when he saw her smack Maisie.<br/><br/>His arm snapped out and grabbed Reigna's wrist in a grip so tight he could see her wince.<br/><br/>"Maisie, go and play with Nimue for a bit." He said, his voice sounding almost eerily calm.<br/><br/>Though the woman before him tried to object and grab their child before she could run off, Faren pulled her back down in her chair. His grip would not be loosened.<br/><br/>"I will not let you harm her again you wench!" He growled angrily. "Scolding her is one thing, but hitting her? That is shameful. And don't you say you don't hit her that hard. I saw the bruises last night. Were those for the dog? Was it for caring about something other than yourself?<br/>"Having me help raise her won't make her biddable again. If anything, she'd be more rebellious against you because I'd encourage her caring behaviour to others.<br/>"So why don't we make a deal so that you can have your own happy ending, and I can have mine? I will take full responsibility of Maisie myself. We will have a divorce, and I'll give you all the money I have. It is enough to buy a new home for you so that you can draw some other helpless man into your clutches and have a new life with him."
