"Oh, wait... I know," he said, leaning closer. "That woman wasn't your wife, was she? To you, she was nothing but a whore. Someone you treated however you pleased."

"Young Lord, please calm down."
Adonis glared at the old man.
"Shut the hell up! Today I will get my answers from this man. I need to know if he is finally satisfied now that he has gotten rid of that annoying woman who foolishly waited for him late into the night."
His voice grew colder.
"Tell me, Duke. Did that woman ever mean anything to you?"
The Duke still remained silent.
