Matthew's POV:
I never imagined that Laura would be the daughter of my brother, William. When she unleashed the truth to me, I was struck dumb.
In that heated moment, I had her pinned beneath me. My lips crushed hers in desperation, and my hands clawed at her clothes as I tried to claim her.
Her crystal-clear eyes mirrored my own, and her tears of sorrow seemed to scream out, accusing me of the monstrosity I had nearly committed.
I had almost r***d my own niece. Laura poured out the truth, but I couldn't process it. My world crumbled into dust in that single, horrifying instant.
The weight of what I had done to Laura shattered me. I felt utterly powerless. Overwhelmed, I fled in panic. Every time I relived the memory of her struggling against me, of how I had trampled over her protest
